Slimbox stopped working

[Robo-X]

I just made my first page with Typolight 2.7.6. Today I updated to 2.8.0 and I noticed that all the Image Galleries I used stopped working. I used the slimbox lightbox effect and it worked perfectly until I updated to 2.8. now every image link says page not found. I created a new gallery because I read that slimbox is not being used anymore and that didn't help a all. Did anything change on how you create a gallery? And how do I get the lightbox effect again?

Thanks in advance

Robert - have a look at this change in Page Layout. Go to "Handling MooTools scripts" here: http://www.typolight.org/news/items/typ ... 8_RC1.html

Thynks for the replu. I figured out why the slimbox didn't work. Since I installed 2.8 the meta.txt files stopped working. I really liked the meta.txt files as I could specify the image captions. Is it still possible to use meta.txt files? I still see it in the dropdown but when I place a meta.txt file the slimbox scripts stops working. Has the format been changed?

Meta.txt is still working for me with TL 2.8 using Mediabox or Slimbox. I know this doesn't help resolve your issue, but I wanted to confirm that it still works. I am using the Meta Creator extension, btw.

I didn't know about the Meta Creator extension. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.

BTW I found the problem. The meta.txt files were created by the designer and they had the wrong format. They worked with 2.7.6 though.

For some reason it is not working for me either (slimbox) after updating to 2.8

I have update my fe_page custom template.
I have checked slimbox in my page layout

But nothing is happening. The image is a link, but it just opens in a new window.

Is there anything I need to do for the slimbox to get working again?

It happened on two sites I just updated.

Thanks for your help.

So there is no one with the same problem?

I have changed nothing....

I have tried checking only moo_slimbox in my layout. Tried checking everything. Tried checking moo_default only.
But nothing.... the image opens in a new window.

I my source file i can see the the rel"lightbox" is added.

hopefully there is someone who can explain me what I am doing wrong. Or forgetting...

Thanks

I have tried insering custom java code in the page layout (under the mootools checkboxes)
but this code is NOT generated on the bottom of my page.

Now i have inserted the code manually in my template and the mediabox works.


But I just cannot believe this is the way to go.
Shouldn't this code automatically be generated once I check mediabox or slimbox in the page layout?

(Today I tried it in a fresh install)

[Ben]

Since you're using a customized fe_page.tpl, I would suggest re-naming the custom one to be fe_[anything].tpl. Then see if things work. It will revert to the fe_page that ships with TYPOlight. If that fixes the problem, then you will want to take another look at updating your custom template.

[lostrisq]

Oh Ben! You are absolutely right.

I did checked my custom tpl, but must have done it with my nose.

On the bottom of the page there was a bit of code missing concerning mootools.
Strange thing is, it always has been missing, but never caused any problems.

pfeeew....

Thanks heaps!

[Ben]

Sure thing ... glad it was an easy fix!

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem. I dont use custom templates and moo_default moo_mediabox is enabled in the layout.
Please check www.gamingxpress.com/gallery.html

Thanks

Hey,

As far as I can see there's only the mediabox script on the bottom of the page.
i see no slimbox.

Have you checked your template thouroughly? I overlooked it at mine too.
Does slimbox work with fe_page.tpl?

After the version 2.7.5 you need to include the following code to the custom template for slimbox option. Only include "

<?php echo $this->mootools; ?>

" in any body section.

Warcos :P

Only include "

<?php echo $this->mootools; ?>

" in any body section.

Just wanted to say it is recommended to include just before the </body> tag.
