Viewlisting Thumbnail Image Display

[rhound]

V4.1.1 Developer. Did the image "popup" display change? I'm not seeing the "Lightbox" effect and not a popup like the earlier version when a user clicks on one of the thumbnails. All that happens is that an image opens in a separate window. What am I missing? test site: MercedesHeritage.com

Template page is: viewlistings2.tpl

Thank you.

Just had a look and it appears you upgraded but didn't upgrade your template files.

These changed between v4.0 and v4.1.

The display of larger images using the overlay is great; looks much more professional and cool.

I'm seeing a display problem (V4.1.1 developer) with Safari (mac) and IE7 (PC) as follows (FF is fine):

When you click on a small image (thumbnail) from the individual listing, the overlay opens but shows more than one thumbnail (see attached screen shot). Once you click on any of the image links (Prev or Next for example) then the next image loads correctly at the proper size. See attachment for screenshot.

Thank you Eric for helping me find the other issue with the template not being updated - once I did that (the template that needed to be updated was layout.tpl), the overlay worked.

We actually have a ticket open on this issue now. It seems it only happens using viewlisting2.tpl but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I will get back to you after I do some further testing.

@rhound,

What is this ibox javascript? I'm curious if there may be some conflict since you have both thickbox and this ibox javascripts loading.

I also notice that the issue you are describing only seems to happen on the initial display. Once another picture is selected then it corrects itself. At least that's what it's doing for me using Mac OS X 10.5.6 and Safari beta 4.

I ran a javascript debugger on your viewlisting and there is a reference to cpaint. cpaint is not used with 68 V4.1.x.

It appears that you are using an old listingextras.tpl file which is what is making the call. The listingextras.tpl file is located in your template folder/viewlisting folder.

Hello Mike and Eric...

Ok, I've removed all of the ibox code (I was using ibox to do a similar thing to what you now have built into 4.1.1). I've updated the listingextras and listingextras2 templates so the cpaint stuff is gone.

The strange behavior just on the first opening of a thumbnail is still there for Safari and IE.

Let me know if you have any additional ideas.

Thank you.

Another thing that came up when I was checking is that a file called bg.jpg, which is located in your root images folder is trying to load. Although the name says that it is an image it is not an image and has a mime type of text/script. There are no calls for this file, but it is trying to load.

This file is not part of 68 classifieds, but that is certainly strange behavior. I would check to discover what this file is as it isn't part of 68, it's not an image even though it is named as such and it is trying to load, yet it isn't being called from anywhere.

Mike also mentioned that the thickbox is duplicated in the viewlisting2.tpl which is causing this.

Open the file and find:

<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery/thickbox/thickbox-compressed.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="javascript/jquery/thickbox/thickbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

and delete those lines.

The duplicate JavaScript code on the viewlisting2.tpl was the culprit. As soon as I removed that, the IE problem went away.

Thank you very much.
