Hi Walter
Did you manage to get a look at the Tabs example I sent you - any idea what is causing the problem?
BTW I don’t really expect you to have over a holiday WE

OK. I tried it, but nothing seems to happen.
I have one graphic box with an image. Applied the Action. Applied the Graphic Link to File. Preview in browser. Nothing happens when I click on the image.

I can’t right now, but I will when I’ve gotten to a stage when I could show something…hopefully.
Sort of a rush job…

OK. I used the other Lightbox Action that’s floating around. Mainly, because I needed captions and it was pretty easy to set up.
For your Action, I followed the “One-off view” instructions. I didn’t use layers (just an html box) if that matters.
Do I need Prototype and Sciptaculous on the page, too, to make it work?

No, it adds those for you.

Well, I must be doin something else wrong, then.
I’ll see if I can post something tomorrow. I basically followed the instructions, and click, and nothing happens.

I would like to see a link from you, it will be very quick to diagnose if you can do that. If you don’t want to send it to the whole list:

OK. Got it to work, but I had to have Transition Effects loaded on the page for it to work.
I didn’t think I had to do that.
Glad it worked. If there were an easy way to have captions, I would use it for this little project.
I’m sure I’ll use it in the future.
I appreciate the time you take to make sure your stuff works. Even when it’s free!
Which I also appreciate greatly!

You shouldn’t need to do that. It should load the libraries regardless. I’ll have to test the stand-alone single item approach again, I confess I mostly tested the “put a bunch of images inline within a DIV” method.

I wasn’t sure if I should do that.
I’ll show you the page I did (it’s not really live yet, though)
It’s for a friend. It’s about a dog that was badly burned, so some of the pics are a little harsh. Just a warning.
Now, this page was NOT done with your Action, but was done using the one done by Weaver, but it will show you what I am doing.

Have a look at the original site for some ideas: http://www.stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow

Hi Walter, I’m building a site in which I want to incorporate a more comprehensive Gallery than the ‘Scriptylightbox’ action currently offers.
Having looked at the site http://www.stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow
I want to implement a Gallery akin to the Image gallery example - ‘Everyone needs a killer gallery’ on this page, and the functionality it offers, such as Next btn, descriptive text at the bottom etc.
I understand that this is more advanced than the scriptylightbox, but need a little help from the FW “Diety” if at all possible Walt?
Am I right in thinking it’s implementation is similar to a Jquery plugin. You have your References to Javascript in HTML MARKUP - Before
<script src="Resources/prototype1602packer.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
<script src="Resources/scriptaculous181packer.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
<script src="Resources/lightwindow.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
</script>
<link href="Resources/lightwindow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" media="screen"/>
Followed by the code to define the gallery style, in this instance that I want this is where I get lost in the www cyber code world!!! I understand what 50% of it means, just need a push in the right direction. on the website ‘Configuration options’ the code is too large to paste on here, but is this what I need to edit and compose into my snippet of code for my gallery style?
This may be very hard and complex to convey on here so if anyone can/has the time to do a quick ‘screen cast’ on this, please be my quest… If you can Walt/anyone give it your best shot on here otherwise when you get some time.
Even a link to a downloadable demo on here would be great in helping me understand how it is built into freeway.
I then need to reference my Gallery, is this within in a DIV with the appropiate id name? eg:
<div id="Lightwindow">
<a href="gallery/image1.jpg" class="lightwindow" rel="/\\:;*?<>'”|®™©&#[Services]" title="RDC GALLERY" caption="Public Sector" author="RDC">image #1</a>
<a href="gallery/image2.jpg" class="lightwindow" rel="/\\:;*?<>'”|®™©&#[Services]" title="RDC GALLERY" caption="Private Sector" author="RDC">image #2</a>
<a href="gallery/image3.jpg" class="lightwindow" rel="/\\:;*?<>'”|®™©&#[Services]" title="RDC GALLERY" caption="Financial Services" author="RDC">image
<a href="gallery/image4.jpg" class="lightwindow" rel="/\\:;*?<>'”|®™©&#[Services]" title="RDC GALLERY" caption="Government Sector" author="RDC">image
</div>
Can this be input using the “crowbar” action, and are the resources best referenced by uploading the images etc to the server via FTP or via the action : upload extra resources" but than does this limit your to 7 images maximum?
Finally, I know this is a big ask, but if you can help Walt it would be much appreciated by myself and hopefully other FW users. Hope this all makes sense?!!!
It may even be better to start a NEW thread on this subject? Just a suggestion.
Many thanks

As an alternative - and a lot easier to implement because it is actionised for FW - is Weavers Mootools Suite

Only problem is, when you have the Suitfx action 
you have to move it out and in your actions map…
OH…weaver… please continue to work on that action suit…
also, did the Moolools Suite not fight with the Scriptaculous actions??

Yes but not everybody has got to SuiteFX yet

Yes again - that is why he is working on SuiteFX

Thanks Dave,
This is perfect, I can use this as a platform for no, which is more than adaquate, but I’m still very interested in how to integrate the lightwindow into FW!
Could you possibly add a ‘download link’ to the FW .zip file for this example you’ve posted please for myself and others.
Thank you for your time & invaluable knowledge once again.

Not strictly Lightwindow but Weavers MooTools with similar capabilities and this in particular is moo:Slimbox and to be honest it is as simple as putting a graphic on your page applying the action and setting the parameters in the Action palette.
