Thickbox Evolves

2008-07-08T06:44:16-07:00

Thickbox has evolved!

http://swip.codylindley.com/DOMWindowDemo.html

The author, after toying with several custom implementations of thickbox has decided to evolve the code in a new direction. The new direction is focused on the creation of DOM windows (hopups). Additionally, the new code focuses on the creation/removing of this window and not the contents (e.g. title bar) inside of the window due to the fact that every usage of the code required to much customization.

The height of thickbox 3.1 is not changeable

2010-08-24T08:59:58-07:00

Hi,

i am using thickbox to displaying text.
My issue is , that i can not control the height of the box. The TB_ajaxContent div has always the height 395.

That's my code:

{$aGames[$nGameId].news_title}
                                       {$aGames[$nGameId].news_title}
{$aGames[$nGameId].news_content}

These are the files , which i have in my head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.js">
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/thickbox.js">

What am i doing wrong?

Regards

Thickbox loading icon over https

2010-08-10T03:02:02-07:00

Hi,

I used thickbox with success but when I configured my site for SSL it started giving the mixed content alert. While debugging I found that in thickbox.js I was using absolute path instead of relative path(for my needs) and I had used 'http://blah/blah'.

To fix this I had to use imgLoader.src = location.protocol+'//'+blahblah which gives https or http based on the way user is browsing.

Hope this helps some one.

onclick="tb_remove(); doesn't work?

2010-08-11T09:58:38-07:00

I'm probably an idiot...

Working on a file download system for a site...
I've successfully set up a registration form that comes up in Thickbox, and submits back to the same Thickbox. It process correctly and then correctly presents the link to download the requested file (still in the same Thickbox). So far so good...

My problem is that when they click the link to download the file, I also need the Thickbox to CLOSE.

This isn't working:
Click GET YOUR FILE

The function "tb_remove" is already defined in the .js file, correct?
Seems like that should have been simple and should have worked. Suggestions please?

2nd similiar question. Same sort of scenario as above with the form, but after submission I PUSH the file to the user, no click needed.

How would I close the Thickbox in this case?

submit form to thickbox iframe

2007-01-31T18:04:37-08:00

i will elaborate just in case that isn't clear. the main webpage has a form on it and i would like the data to be submitted to an iframe created with thickbox that way when it loads its "thank you" message it will be within that thickbox.

thanks for any responses..

ThickBox -> Form -> ThickBox, how to ?

2010-08-10T04:50:41-07:00

Hi there,

I'm using a form in a ThickBox but the problem is that clicking "Send" leads me to a new page. I want to stay in the ThickBox.

How could I do that ?

I've tried this with no success :

Seperate Alt title instead of using the description of my images.

2008-05-09T12:34:21-07:00

I have very long titles and TB is using my titles for the Alt description is there a way to change this? Also my titles extend beyond the caption area is there a way to make it all fit in the caption area.

Thickbox within a hidden content

2010-08-08T05:30:23-07:00

I have an image that is placed inside a hidden content. When I click on a button this content becomes visible. The image and other content become visible. Now I want to use thickbox for the enlargement of the picture, however I'm redirected instead of a thickbox opening...

How can i solve this?

Thanks in advance

I want to use Thickbox as the method of displaying with in Brilliant Gallery in Drupal. If you have done this let me know.

Scrollbars, how to get rid of them?

2010-07-20T07:34:34-07:00

Hello everyone,

I am using Thickbox for WordPress and I have run into and annoying issue on my gallery, the appearance of scrollbars. Click on the below examples and see what I see.

On this page Thickbox window with NO scrollbars

But once you click on the article itself the window shrinks and scrollbars appear

So the question is why it differs from URL to URL and what's the maxim size? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Thickbox and directly loading SWF files...

2010-08-03T17:11:58-07:00

I know this forum is probably already dead, but...

I noticed you can directly load a SWF file via the Thickbox link, circumventing the need for an HTML page. I find this method much cleaner, and less prone to alignment issues which seem to plague Thickbox.

My only problem is that directly linking to a SWF file only works in IE and Safari, but not in Firefox.

It seems to just infinitely load, and never plays the SWF. What's the problem here?

Thickbox doesn't open when page (or frame) isn't fully loaded

2010-07-07T01:49:27-07:00

Hello please! I'm building a web site which is still unfinished. It's so far located at http://www.rehersal.com.ar. Sorry the page is in spanish but you really don't need to read anything. The page's got several iframes. If you click at, say, any of the panorama icons -once the square pano's iframe has fully loaded all four pano icons- the interactive version of the clicked panorama will open on a thickbox, as it is supposed to. If you click on the "ver mas panoramas" (see more panoramas) link just after the pano's icons, the content of the iframe will be replaced by a larger scrollable version of the table showing more icons, related to more panos. If you waited until all 150 icons are loaded to the frame before clicking on any, everything will work fine. The problem arises when you click to open a panorama before the whole list of icons is loaded. If so, the thickbox doesn't open and the interactive panorama shows in the icon's frame itself. I'll be more than grateful if someone can tell me how to solve this issue, please. Preloading images doesn't help much really. What I need to find is a way for the thickbox to open correctly regardless of the page being completely loaded or not. I hope this explanation is clear enough. Thank you very much.
IMPORTANT:
I forgot to say I'm using a slightly modified version of thickbox.js. A few chunks of code have been removed to cut off captions and prev/next buttons. Also and most important, at line 11 or so tb_show(t,a,g); has been replaced with self.top.tb_show(t,a,g);. This way thickboxes are shown on top of my top page and I guess the solution to my problem has something to do with this.
In short, my index.htm page contains an iframe named "marco_panoramas" which shows a page named marco_panoramas.htm. marco_panoramas.htm contains another iframe named "panoramas" which shows initially a page named panoramas1.htm (which can be replaced by panoramas2.htm when the link "ver mas panoramas" on marco_panoramas.htm is clicked). The links to open the interactive panos on thickboxes are all to be found on panorama1.htm and panorama2.htm. The thickboxes are supposed to be shown on top of my index.htm page but this fails to happen if the links are clicked before either panorama1.htm or panorama2.htm are fully loaded. Thanks again.

IE & Scroll Bar Dissapearing

2007-10-24T07:21:46-07:00

Hello All,

I have managed to implement 'Thickbox' into a project I am working on but am having some issues with Internet Explorer!

The 'Thickbox' gallery works fine in Firefox and Opera but when clicking on the thumbnails in IE the enlarged image shifts to the right slightly and the scroll bar on the right just dissapears. When you close the enlarged image the scroll bar appears again which causes the html page to shift back to the left again in its correct position.

The weird thing is the examples from the Thickbox Website work fine. The only change I made to the code was implementing the Firefox Mac fix found on this very forum.

Any ideas why this is occuring?

Thanks,

jCarousel with Thickbox

2010-06-10T01:33:28-07:00

Hi there, this is my first post on the forums. Hope you're all well :)

I'm wondering whether someone can help me? I'm looking to have a jQuery carousel on a client page, but attach it to a thickbox style widget. Except instead of the text/image "popping up", I'd like it to dynamically show as I choose another image.

As an example, I'm looking to mix this:
http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/examples/special_easing.html

With this:
http://demo.armeda.com/

So that when an image is clicked, the Armeda thing shows.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul

Thickbox AJAX Content - php files with "?" in them - (simple?)

2007-08-02T02:28:20-07:00

I have tried searching the forums for a long time, and google, but many of the solutions seem over my head, I apologise if my question has already been answered, but I really do need the solution laid out simply for me to handle. So sorry again!

I am running thickbox.js fine, and when I add say Contact It works great.

Basically, I'd love to know the edits (find and replace) to thickbox.js to achieve this php file with the ? and = in the URL... as it currently does not work.

This is what I would like to work

Check your Private Messages

So id like to open /privmsg.php?folder=inbox for example in the ajax thickbox.

Kind Regards, and thank you for your much appreciated help.

"phantom" thickboxes being created - HELP!

2010-06-09T13:25:59-07:00

I'm having a problem with the "shell" (area) of a thickbox being duplicated when being created through dynamically generated links. The AMOUNT of the thickboxes are being duplicated, but the CONTENT is not...

...So if the thickbox W x H is 100 x 50, then the last (third) link will be fine. The second link will click and open up a 100 x 100 but only the top 100 x 50 will be the content. The bottom half is blank. For the first link, the thickbox will open up to 100 x 150 (three times as tall), but only the top 100 x 50 will be the content again (and in this case the bottom 2/3 will be blank).

It's very strange. It's like each time a thickbox is created it adds it below the last thickbox (but doesn't add the content - only its "shell").
