Description
I'm feeling dumb....I enabled the preference for providing a login in a thickbox....but it doesn't seem to be working. Should any link that is directed to /user (while you are logged out) open it up in a thickbox?
It is opening up images in a thickbox so I know the module is working.

I was having a similar problem. Thickbox wasn't being used for images, and it froze the browser on login/register links. To save myself any frustration, I simply removed the module, because it's clearly not stable enough yet. I think I'm using the latest version of jquery, and I've read this could be the cause of the problem, as Thickbox supports an older version?

Yes the 6.1.1 version has a problem with jQuery 1.3.1 and later, Drupal 6 however ships with jQuery 1.2.6. This has been fixed in 6-dev.
mdowsett, do you have a example page where you have this problem?

Hi,
I assume that this issue is still active despite nothing being updated for 4 months.
I'm using version 6.x-1.4 and have the same problem, I've set Thinkbox to automatically open for login requests but nothing happens.
Having looked at the Thinkbox pages here http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox and looking at the code I guess that Thinkbox is supposed to notice the user/login and add a class 'Thickbox' but it doesn't seem to work.
I tried this, a simple page with the following....
<a href=http://www.sitename.com/user/login>login</a>I logged out and tried, it opened the standard login page, then I changed it to.....
<div id=thickbox><a href=http://www.sitename.com/user/login>login</a></div>and this time it worked. I can only assume that either I'm missing something or the javascript isn't working as it should.
For infomation I have Drupal 6.13, jQuery Update 6.x-1.1 and a sightly modified version of the Earthen theme. The site is on a private server so I'm afraid it cannot be reached from the outside world.
Any thoughts what might be going on.
Cheers
Dave

On a local dev site I checked "Enable for login links" in Thickbox settings and added the following link to a post
<a href="/user/login">login</a>It worked as it should, the login form pop ups in a Thickbox.

Hi,
Sorry about the delay replying, had to earn some money. Everything is OK now, haven't got a clue what was wrong, must have been calling something wrongly or it might be because I have changed themes, I'm using AdaptiveTheme instead of Earthern now.
Once again thanks.
