****** v.1.0beta for Joomla 1.5 available now! ******

v.0.7.2: - improved syntax for easier coding (pages with old syntax still work as well)
- creation of invisible containers
*** Change in v.0.6: Interface elements (lightbox effect) may be switched off. (Plain Thickbox effect then.)
New in v0.5 (plus): Updated to latest Thickbox/jquery versions. Using interface 1.2 elements to display images and image galleries. That means it isn't a "pure" thickbox implementation any longer, but adds the coolest lightbox animation effects to galleries. ****

ThickBox+ is a one-for-all content box to show a single image, multiple images, inline content, iframed content, or content served through AJAX in a hybrid modal based on jquery. For more information on Thickbox features and development refer to http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox.

Note that Thickbox for Joomla! does not work if you use the prototype-library on the same page ! Use LightWindow for Joomla then, which is also available on my download page.

Thickbox is great! by Zombie13, July 30, 2007

I had no problem installing this and it works great for every need that I have. The bugs have been worked out beautifully. :)

Few bugs out there by joomax, June 6, 2007

Thickbox 0.7 contains few bugs and messes up the template:
- the included css selektor "html, body" overwrites the settings of the template. Really bad solution.
- furthermore the last property "height: 100%" in the selector "html, body" is missing a semicolon.
- Thickbox generates a javascript error in IE6 so it is not working in IE6

Owner's reply:
Thickbox+ is tested with IE6. There are no errors if you browse my demo with IE6. If your site produces errors then for other reasons. (see FAQ on my site)

Would be great if... by dmcdesign, May 20, 2007

This would be amazing, if I could get it to work. I don't see the thumbnail, or image.

Thanks to Horst ! ... by patman0815, March 29, 2007

... for the thickbox+ and for the great support.

The thickbox feature is exactly that what i need on my site!
There were a few "starting problems", thanks to Horst, they are solved.

Version display problem by janetweber, February 27, 2007

Version 5 displays the images behind the content on the webpage. I tried to edit the thickbox.css file but changing the z-index, but it doesn't help. My advice is the stick with version 4 until this problem is fixed.

Owner's reply:
This is a problem of your site's css, not of thickbox. If you test thickbox with another template you will find everything works fine.

See my demo.

Moves websites alignment by Teckademic, February 18, 2007

When I installed and published Thickbox 2.1 for Joomla! it made my centered site align to the left. I cant figure out why.

Owner's reply:
Another(?) user reported a solution for this problem (which occurs rarely) :

I just wanted to let you know that I fixed it by opening up ptthickbox.css and deleting the following:

*{padding: 0; margin: 0;}

html, body {

min-height: 100%;

height: auto !important;

height: 100%

}

Very nice! by pertorstensson, January 23, 2007

Just tried out your demo page and was amazed how smooth everything worked with the thickbox library. And showing inline content like that is just wonderful. And then it hit me: What if you could show modules in the same manner, wouldn't that be awesome?! Imagine for example if you could get rid of the more than often ugly login module on the left of the page and instead have a link to a Thickbox! I think it would be neeeeaaaaat! =)

Owner's reply:
This would be VERY easy to achieve if Joomla modules had unique ids...

btw: hey joomla developers, where are you???

looks interesting by maxcady, January 7, 2007

easy to install but it would be nice if there were a few examples how to edit the whole thing.

I looked for the thickbox demopage and the mambot description.
What does this mean?:

Syntax: {mosthickbox=url#name=name#params=params}

params = the complete query string.

How does a query string look like? An example would be nice. Sorry for not being smart enough for this ... :)

Owner's reply:
You refer to v.0.1 which is outdated (for some reasons...)

Please try v.0.2 and see my demo page for examples. Everything will be fine.

Yours,

Can't wait for this to grow up? by exlemor, January 6, 2007

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

As the title says, I can't wait for this to grow up... At v0.1, it is understandable that it does not yet work or be simple to install... but one is allowed to dream.

It has such GREAT potential.

[Maybe v0.2, or v0.5 will be easier to install, not require so much editing and work for me :)]

So, Horst, great job on the idea, and the start and keep up the good work...

Sincerely,

Emmanuel.

Owner's reply:
Thank you very much for your first and very supporting review .

v.0.2 is out now and I hope it is on a good way to "grow up".

I have been quite surprised by the response (2,500+ hits after 3 days !). I hope people weren't put off by the 'quickhacked' v.0.1. ...

Yours,

Horst
