Lightbox Feature with Mootools

Hi Nant (and anyone else that's interested),

I've been playing around with the gallery plugin for a while now, and I noticed that its lightbox feature uses an installation of both prototype and what I guess is the effects set from script.aculo.us. This is fine until you have two Javascript engines (like JQuery, Xajax or Mootools) running with equivalent helper functions, like addEvent(), removeEvents(), etc., and conflicts emerge, depending on what order those scripts are included on a profile page, for example.

With Joomla! working around Mootools in 1.5, would you consider a lightbox alternative that uses Mootools for a future version instead? I only ask that specifically because I have a mod of the gallery plugin using Slimbox that uses a lighter script call to generate an identical effect. It only required a couple changes to the plugin's output code. Anyone interested?

Sent it over to you. You can probably ignore the mods to the Profile Gallery's PHP file. Slimbox uses the same HTML syntax as the Script.aculo.ous Lightbox.

Here are the JavaScript files. You should be able to just replace the plugin's js directory with this one, then get into cb.profilegallery.php and change the script includes at around line 1000:

Code:


 // Hack - Include Mootools and Slimbox to simulate the lightbox effect.
                    // In Joomla! 1.5, Mootools would be called from /includes/js/mootools.js with 
a check to see if it already been called.
                    $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag("<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbprofilegallery/css/slimbox.css\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" />");
                    $htmltext2 .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"templates/scripts/mootools.js\"></script>";
                    $htmltext2 .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbprofilegallery/js/slimbox.js\"></script>";
                    $htmltext2 .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"JavaScript\">\n";
                    $htmltext2 .= "var pg_imagestring = \"" . _pg_LBImageString . "\";\n";
                    $htmltext2 .= "var pg_ofstring = \"" . _pg_LBOfString . "\";\n";
                    $htmltext2 .= "</script>\n";
                    break;

hy pointri / nant / everyone!

it would be a good idea to be able to switch between the lightbox popup srciptengines in your gallery. like it is possible in the simple image pro gallery mambot. http://www.joomlaworks.gr

i found out that the current version of Nant's CB Gallery 1.0 RC2 plugin is in conflict with the current version of jce utilities 1.2 part of jce 1.1.5 or better said with the scripts to genarate the lightbox popup --> only the jce feature works correctly if enabled! jce utilities disabled gallery popup works correct.(as far as i know the problem is the mootools / lightbox conflict.

is there a way to have both engines working correct on one page without conflicts?
