Lightbox2 - Known Issues

Lightbox Lite in IE - older versions of Lightbox2

There is an issue with Lightbox Lite in IE browsers but only for sites where Drupal is installed in a subdirectory. In such instances, the overlay.png image can not be found. To overcome this issue you will need to edit the lightbox2/css/lightbox_lite.css file and change the path to this image. By default the line is set to:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="../images/overlay.png", sizingMethod="scale");

You will need to change the image path on this line to be the full path, e.g.

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="/sites/all/modules/lightbox2/images/overlay.png", sizingMethod="scale");

See #185866: Relative path in filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader not working for more details.

Keyboard Shortcuts in Opera

Not all of the keyboard shortcuts work in the Opera browser, for example 'z' for toggling the zoom and 'spacebar' for toggling play / pause in slideshows. This can be overcome by updating your shortcut settings in the Opera preferences editor.

Performance Issues With Lightbox2, Imagecache, and CCK

See Performance issues with large number imagecache presets and content types for a full discussion. This can be a serious problem for large sites. There are a couple of patches that may help, but no fix in the latest version of Lightbox2.
