Works from Articles, not mod_custom Modules

The Plugin works as intended when the {...} code is placed in an Article but not when the same code is placed in a mod_custom Module (supposing you want those links in a different region).

Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? This Plugin would have perfectly solved my problem otherwise!
Upgrade or conversion to Joomla 1.6?

This extension has very poor directions. I tried to make it work for some time, but it simply would not work.

There is a demo site with examples and complete syntax. What more do you need?

Few bugs out there

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...

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

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
2007-02-27

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.

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

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!

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

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.

Can't wait for this to grow up?

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
