Hi there,



this is the second time i'm writing here. Hope you can help me again.

I installed the new version and it looks great as always.



But when i click on the thumbnails, the original picture is not showing up in

a light- or slimbox (don't know exactly what a slimbox is, is there a difference?) but

it just loads the image in the parent window like when i open a image with the browser!



I chose slimbox image popub, but this isn't working!

Any suggestions?

Have you put in the various references to the slimbox files in the index.php file? That would be the first place to start ...



... Also are you using other versions of mootools?



... You may have to wait for the page to load ...

Hi,



yes i did put in the code!

But i can't tell you if i am using other versions of mootools! i'm trying out some

galleries at the moment, maybe there is something? i have 2 other galleries which are showing images in a lightbox!



maybe you want to have a look for yourself?

Here's the link:



goepper.seiler-florian.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=31

Its quite possible that there is a conflict with the other scripts but for the moment there is a break in the line that references the slimbox.js file ... make that reference all on one line to see if that works.

Hmm still doesn't work. Any other idea? Should i uninstall the other galleries?

Yes just unpublish to see if there is a conflict. The hover box just uses the rel="lightbox" tag which is what makes any lightbox popup so you could try and remove the hoverbox references to mootools and slimbox before you do anything else ... just a thought.

hmm i don't exactly know what you mean;-)



what should i unpublish? the other galleries?

and why should i remove the hoverbox references? aren't they needed for the hoverbox?

and where can i remove these references?



maybe you want my index.php file?

For starters just try and remove/unpublish/delete the other galleries ... and see if that works.

Doesn't work. What a pity, i was really looking forward to this new function.

But without it, it's just the old version of the hover box, which is still really cool. Maybe i'm trying again tomorrow!



Regards,

Well it should work on a clean install ... I think its got to do do with the other lightboxes you are using. Did you unpublish all of them?

I unpublished all mambots (all my galleries are mambots except exposÈ) which are using lightboxes!

OK so can you give me backend access to take a look ...



email me design [at] joomlabamboo.com



if you would like me to look into it.

Actually there is no reference to mootools in your index.php file which is because it has been left out of the module setup ... oops ... and a big apology.



You need to add this to the index.php file:



[code:1]<script src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/modules/hover_box2/slimbox/mootools.v1.11.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" ></script>[/code:1]



and then upload the attached file (unzip first) to the modules/hoverbox2 folder it should work then ... Im off to bed very shortly so will check back in the am to see if it worked or not.



Once again ... sincere apologies.

no problem, you don't have to apoligize. i'm glad you found the problem. i wonder why no one else here did recognize this problem;-)



but actually....it still doesn't work*g* did you forget anything else? just kidding. i'm too tired to search for the problem. i will try tomorrow.



thanks for your help!

I just had a look at the developers site for slimbox and they say you have to call it with rel="slimbox[...]". Then i had a look in the sourcecode on my site and it says rel="lightbox[...]"! Could this have anything to do with the problems?

No its actually Slimbox Extended ... and lightbox is the way its launched ...

Then i don't have any further ideas what the problem could be!

If you could send me some ftp access Ill take a closer look perhaps ... it would be good to get to the bottom of it.

i can send you ftp access, but you have still administrator access to the backend

and so you can use the component jommlaxplorer which is almost the same!



OK, i just sent you ftp access via email<br><br>Post edited by: schlumpfi81, at: 2007/08/24 06:49

Hi Anthony,



i still can't get it to work.



I installed the system completely new on another server and i left all other modules/mambots/components out! And still it doesn't work.



Could you maybe have another look? Maybe now you recognize something i made wrong!

I can send you user and pw or ftp access.



regards,
