addition of Next link

It's not a feature I will be adding to the lightbox2 module, but here is how you can implement it for your site. The code below doesn't disable the hover "Prev" or "Next" links though, it just adds textual prev and next links to the bottom of the image info box.

In lightbox2/js/lightbox.js, change line 497 from:

Element.setInnerHTML( 'numberDisplay', "Image " + eval(activeImage + 1) + " of " + imageArray.length);

to:

   // Element.setInnerHTML( 'numberDisplay', "Image " + eval(activeImage + 1) + " of " + imageArray.length);
   myPrevLink = '<a href="#" id="myPrevLink">[Prev]</a>';   
   myNextLink = '<a href="#" id="myNextLink">[Next]</a>';
   Element.setInnerHTML( 'numberDisplay', "Image " + eval(activeImage + 1) + " of " + imageArray.length + "<br />" + myPrevLink + " " + myNextLink);
   document.getElementById('myPrevLink').onclick = function() {
    myLightbox.changeImage(activeImage - 1); return false;
   }
   document.getElementById('myNextLink').onclick = function() {
    myLightbox.changeImage(activeImage + 1); return false;
   }

What's the fix now with the code change to 5.x-2? It would be nice if these was an option to choose text links in addition to hovering over the image for links.

I think the same code snippet should work, just drop the "my" from in front of "myLightbox". Perhaps try out the new dev version (it is stable). It allows you to force the navigation links to always appear (not just on hover) and provides an alternative lightbox layout.

Hi,

From looking at your lightbox2/css/lightbox.css I can see that you are still using the old version. It doesn't match that which is in the dev version or CVS. Perhaps you forgot to update this file when upgrading the module?

I've just tried out your website again and after clearing the cache, the navigation links are always visible now, not just on hover. Please clear you cache and try it again.

The images were changed to support multi-lingual sites. However the old textual prev and next images are still included in the distribution. They're in the lightbox2/images/ directory with the file names "prevlabel.gif" and "nextlabel.gif". You can alter the lightbox.css (or lightbox_alt.css) file to change which image is used. You may need to tweak the positionings however. This was mentioned in the release notes for 5.x-2.1.
