I have downloaded these two lightboxes from official sites, but can't make it work. Do the really can use jquery, integrated in Drupal? O maybe I need to use some older version of these lightboxes, not from their sites?

P.S. Lytebox works fine.

Hello dzhu,

by the configuration of lihtboxes in extras you can go to the info table. (http://example.com/admin/settings/gallery_assist/lightboxes_info)
There are all important informations to each lightbox regarding required jquery versions etc.
The fancybox need at the last versions jquery 1.3.x.

In the next release from GAL are the newest features from the fancybox implemented (supported).

Regards
Juan Carlos

Hi jcmc,

I'm also confused. I keep trying to get any of the supported lightboxes to work but no success.

Recognizing at "admin/settings/gallery_assist/lightboxes_info" that in order to get fancybox to work i need jquery 1.3:

- fancybox 1.3.1 1.3+ full choos manualy

So i go to jQuery Update right? There it says:

I need jQuery Update 6.x-2.x: jQuery 1.3.x (currently 1.3.2)

So I download the dev version: jquery 1.3.x and upload it into my sites/all/modules directory.

I download fancybox from the site, upload it into my sites/all/modules/gallery_assist_lightboxes/lightboxes folder and voila.

Ok.. so i go to Gallery Assist and then to Extras... and then click on fancybox-1.3.1... and it says below:

"jquery.fancybox-1.3.1 settings" But settings don't appear. So nothing happens to the images even after I click save.

Secondly, I've been trying to do the same with PrettyPhoto. Yesterday I had 6 .css boxes that I could check and two boxes that wanted me to select a .js file. If I checked one of the .js options--and then found an image that I wanted to apply the prettyPhoto effect, the whole page would go black.... Or.... prettyPhoto would load continuously but never appear.

In any case, I'm really confused. In order to upload these supported lightboxes am I suppose to be messing with jQuery Update right? Because I'm using the latest 6.x Drupal.

I have lightbox2 installed in my modules. But like you said, "In case the module Lightbox2 is activated, the variations Lightbox, Slimbox, Litebox can not be used." So i don't use them...

What's my solution?

Thank you!

Hello calefilm,

I do not understand why you have this behavior by GAL in your drupal installation.
Please get an account at http://pruebas.puntolatinoclub.de and tell me it and I give you temporary admin rights, so you can make tests, make comparations with your configuration etc.
There are installed all from GAL supported lightboxes.

Regards
Juan Carlos

Hey Juan,

I had to move on and am currently using colorbox alone. I had problems with all the supported jQuery installs. So I'm sure its my fault. Decided to just stick with Gallery Assist for my Coolpix module plugin and use Colorbox alone without GA and it seems to be working fine. I have lightbox working fine as well, so long as I use it without Gallery Assist. But I have to move on to other things or I'll get stuck on this too long. THanks man.

I have ColorBox working fine with GA v1.11 and GAL
though, it took me some time to configure :)

Make sure you have proper JQuery Update 2.0 - development version plus mke sure you selectted files in Color Box configuration what to include. then it works fine! you can see it in action here GAL+ColorBox = MalinaMusic.ru
