Im checking this plugin out before using it at work on a site we are building. I have Drupal 6.10 on my local machine, all the latest versions of image cache, imagefield, etc.

I install the Lightbox module, I check that the javascript is being correctly included in the . But... in my backend I have absolutely no mention whatsoever of the module. No perms, nothing in site config. by module, no URL such as admin/settings/lightbox2...

Ive tried on 2 different Drupal installations in case it was some weird compatibility problem with other image modules I was testing. But I cant get anything to show up at all. I tried creating image cache presets...

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks ahead of time

Please ensure you are using the latest version of the lightbox2 module, i.e. version 6.x-1.9 and not 6.x-1.0. If you've enabled the module via admin/build/modules then the settings should be present at admin/settings/lightbox2. If not, please try clearing the Drupal cache at admin/settings/performance. If it's still not working, then it sounds like something specific to your site or to what you're doing. There's no reason I know why the settings shouldn't appear as long as the module is enabled.

Version: 6.x-1.0 » 6.x-1.9

Hi again.

Sorry, I made a mistake in the version select box. Ive been using tha latest Lightbox version from the start.

I now have a Drupal 6.13 installation (on XAMPP) with a 6.x-1.9 Lightbox installed. Cleared cache. The javascript is showing in my source code (modules/jlightbox/js/jlightbox.js?z) as before. Created several ImageCache presets.

In perms section the Lightbox module doesnt show up. Nor in my Admin menu.
If I try to go to admin/settings/lightbox2 it shows me the Site Config page. It doesnt redirect me though: the URL stays as admin/settings/lightbox2.

The only page where I see anything regarding Lightbox is the modules page.

Is there anything else you can think of, any other dependency at all that Im missing? The Lightbox javascript is already part of the module, right? I dont have to install that.

Weirdest thing thats ever happened to me in Drupal. I just dont get it.

Perhaps try uninstalling and then re-installing the module. It sounds like something is wrong with your menu system and isn't anything Lightbox2 specific.

Hi Stella,

Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling and Im just going to have to give up on this. I dont think its a menu system thing as you suggest simply because Ive installed the module in 4 different versions of Drupal both on my local machine and in a hosted environment, the latest was a very clean installation with barely any other modules so there wouldnt be any incompatibilities. All other modules work perfectly. Also, if it were a menu problem then that shouldnt prevent the module from appearing for example on the permissions page or prevent the URL admin/settings/lightbox2 from working.

I appreciate your effort but I just cant keep investing time in this. Thanks anyhow

Since we cant pin the problem down Im just going to postpone this issue in case someone else has the same problem and comes up with helpful clues.
