I was working on getting the video of the grand kid loaded and somehow I've toasted the lightbox feature. http://www.donandpaula.com

I've uninstalled a bunch of the modules I installed to get video and gotten back to some basics. I reinstalled jstools, jquery_update, lightbox2, imce and fckeditor (and did the fckeditor fix described in 252153. It worked great before I did the video part but now I'm stuck.

Any help is appreciated. Sorry if I haven't given you enough to work with but I'm still learning (amazed I got this far).

Thanks,

- Yasl

Ok. I completely started a fresh db and still couldn't get lightbox to work again. Is it fckeditor or what? How the heck did I get it to work so well the first time!?

Stella? ( I bow lowly with respect ...)

Frustrated Yasl....

I got lightbox working again but a major headache. I do have a couple of questions I hope someone will answer...
1) If I uncheck enable in the modules section - does that module still affect anything? I know that the drupal db still has it's value's stored
2) relating to the first - just by unchecking/removing and reinstalling - if the values are still stored screwed up how will things get fixed... edit the db?

I finally got things straight when I started with a fresh drupal and three modules. Lightbox didn't work. Unchecked and removed and got down to just lightbox which worked. Did a fresh install (with link attirbute patch) of fckeditor and lightbox still worked only I was using FCKeditor.

Have a great Drupal kind of day!

One more question: I have three sites from the same drupal installation. Only the new db site works with lightbox using the same modules folder.
1) So I figure the db must contain the bad fckeditor stuff - how would I delete it and reinstall?
2) can I move copies of the modules folder into each sites folder so any more stupid things I do only affect that one site?

Thanks

Lastly - (cause now I'm upset) - I upgraded to the dev version of lightbox and it doesn't work anymore even though I put the other version back in the modules. Starting over... again...

In a multisite they can be in sites/all/modules for all sites
or sites/subsite1/modules to only work on that specific site

If you disable the module in the module listing (unchecking), then it no longer has any effect and won't be used. The configuration settings won't be removed until you uninstall the module via the uninstall tab on the modules page.

If you move the modules between different sites folders, you will need to reload and resave the modules listing page so the paths to the modules are updated correctly.

Lightbox2 doesn't require FCKeditor to work. If you could provide step-by-step details on what you're doing that's failing to work, then perhaps I can help you more.

Cheers,
Stella

Very good input - thanks people. I'll consider sub module folders now though that means I'd have to update each folder if needed but fckeditor is the only 'patch' I've had to put in yet.

I figured out it was the fckeditor (which isn't brain surgery to install so... I must not be a brain surgeon) because I took fckeditor out and lightbox worked. When I put it back it didn't so I did an uninstall of fck and reinstalled fresh, did the patch and lightbox kepted working.
I read that to do swf videos you needed the dev version of lightbox so I installed it, enabled video in the lightbox settings, changed the auto trigger to lightvideo (was currently using lightbox for my pic trigger) and... lightbox stopped working. I then reverted to the old version of lightbox and it came back. I'm happy now though it would be cool to have my video appear in a lightbox as opposed to a little popup.

Thanks again for the posts. :)

Just read what I posted - I didn't change the trigger, I added another line below lightbox that said lightvideo

so both triggers should have worked.

There's an issue with lightvideo in lightbox2 - see #357318: Lightbox does not load flv player after upgrade for more details.

Since there already is an issue open about video support, and other questions (I think!) have been answered, moving this to 'fixed'. Please feel free to re-open if I missed something.

Cheers,
Stella
