Integrate Thickbox Slideshow

[Eric Barnes]

I have just wrote a tutorial for integrating the Thickbox gallery into 68 Classifieds. Here is a link with instructions and the code download.

If you need any help or have any questions please reply below.

Hi Eric,

I followed your step by step instructions from the blog and I can't seem to get it to work.

The Muscle Garage - Classifieds » 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454

Any ideas on what I may be missing?

Thanks,

Sean

looks like you didnt download the javascript or dont have it uploaded to your site in the correct place.

Hmmm...I put it in the javascript directory...that is where the instructions said to put it....strange

Is the viewlisting.tpl file included in the script complete?

The reason I ask, is that I went to modify the file as per the instructions and it appears the mods have already been made.

It would be nice to have the two files that need to be tweaked already modified somewhere, so people could just drag a drop the file into place.

Thanks for the code for the Thickbox, it works great!

I do have a couple questions though.

Thickbox appears to be shrinking the images even further than the settings in the Administration Panel causing them to appear a bit distorted. (i.e. the image is being forced to a size smaller than the actual image)

Is there an edit that I can do to the Thickbox code to keep the image the same size as the max image size preference in the Administration panel?

Also is there a way to get rid of the blue "link halo" around the thumbnails?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for the Thickbox idea!

I've integrated Lightbox (which looks way better than Thickbox) on my site.
