Hello 

I have installed the fancybox plugin but can see no indication of how to use it. Nor can I find any docs. 

How does one use it?
Many thanks
Andrew

Well, if it was that simpel I would have it working by now... I have installed it, I can see the plug-in is present but it does nothing....

In another topic I read something about sites being placed in a subfolder (like www.mydomain.com/oxwall ) and that the plug-in doesn't work well in that case. Could that be the problem?

As a non-PHP programmer I'm a little proud of myself... ;-)

When I look at the file init.php in the Fancybox-plugin and change all lines with

script src="/ow_static/plugins/fancybox

to

script src="/foldername/ow_static/plugins/fancybox

(where foldername is the folder where my site is stored, www.mydomain.com/foldername)

the plug-in suddenly works...

But still, the user has no possibility to delete his own photo's?

I've decided to de-install this plug-in and to wait for a new version... It looks good but it causes too many problems:

- When the plug-in is active it changes the lay-out of the site. I'm using the "spring"-template from Oxwall, the menu-bar is moved when I use the plug-in?
- Users get errormessages when uploading photo's about "services not available". In Firefox they can click away these messages and continue, in IE this is not possible;
- The option to delete your own photo's or video's is not always present and when present not always functions correct.

I have a lot of respect for the people who develop open-source software (they make my life as a website-builder much and much easier! ;-) ) but at this stage this plug-in is not mature enough. If I was a programmer myself I loved to assist in developing it further but I'm not...

hello,
If you are not the same thing happen, I have installed FancyBox, when you select an image or photograph, photography opens in another window, which may be the reason?

Doesn't work all I get is photo opening in a new page like it does with standard install.

Are the paths correct if you check the .js files through the output HTML source?


Try the newest version.
