Can't get lightbox, thickbox, or craqbox to work on Drupal 5.
xamox - May 11, 2007 - 19:16
I am not quite sure why, but I can not get lightbox, thickbox, or craqbox to work on Drupal 5. I have got it working on setups before but not quite sure what the problem is. I have the latest module versions. They are not all enabled at the same time either. I have tried each one individually, as well as checked access control to make sure I wasn't missing something.
In fact at first lightbox complained when I rendered the page that I didn't have the sciptalicous libraries installed when I rendered a page with a thumbnail on it, but when I installed them, it didn't complain, and rendered the page without errors, but wasn't working.
Anyone have a clue what I need to do? I need this to work soon!
Try jquery.corner
I had problems getting a few of those to work as well and finally settled on jquery.corner.js. at http://methvin.com/jquery/jq-corner.html. It works well for me under D5.
No, I don't want corners
No, I don't want corners like that, I'm looking for something like the functionality of thickbox, where you can click an thumbnail and it will enlarge to fullsize, I know thickbox is what I want, I just have no idea why it's not working.

Opps...
I think I've been looking at too many modules lately so I'm starting to get them confused. My apologies.
Thickbox - I had it working on my 5.1 test site for a while but the jury is still out as to whether or not I'll continue to use it. I don't recall that I had to do anything special to make it work except to format my
<a>tags properly and to make sure those tags usedclass="thickbox".Since I don't use any of the image modules I set up links to my images ($dwgfull, $dwgpreview) prior to the
<a>tags. Here's a sample tag that works for me:<a href="<?php print $dwgfull ?>" class="thickbox"><img src= "<?php print $dwgpreview ?>" alt="<?php print $dwgname ?>"/></a>HTH
solution
Ahh, you helped me figure it out. When creating a gallery with thumbnails (using views) I didn't have "image as link" set as an option. I didn't realize that thickbox would append the class to the as oppossed to the tag. So it works if I set the option to "image as a link" on my Image field in views.
Thanks.

I've only tried Thickbox so
I've only tried Thickbox so I can't speak for the others. I've only used it so far as part of a CCK imagefield. If you use it there you have to select an option on the display menu that is something like Thickbox:imagecache-profile It worked on pages generated by CCK automatically. I haven't gotten a chance to build the anchor tag yet for my custom node. But you do have to add a REL= parm and I think a class=thickbox

Tried all of the above
Ok, so I tried "Image with link" in my view settings. I have the Image module and Thickbox. I have some image galleries and some image nodes. I noticed there is no class="thickbox"... on anchors around my images, so I put this there. But I don't see any sign of thickbox whatsoever. How do I know it's even working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've noticed this as well. I
I've noticed this as well. I am using the img_assist tinymce plugin using the filter tag. Cant figure it out.
I would make sure jQuery is
I would make sure jQuery is being loaded on that page too. You could also try using the devel module to see if things are being loaded.

Verify thickbox is loading
Have you verified that thickbox.css and thickbox.js are being loaded from your modules/thickbox directory?
Also, what behaviour are you experiencing when you say you don't see any sign of thickbox? On my installation, when using thickbox, clicking a small image causes the page to go gray, a small "Loading..." icon to appear in the middle of the page then the full image is displayed in a box in the middle of the page.
Without thickbox enabled, clicking on the same small image will cause the larger image to load just like a normal link.
