Hello Walt,
Your Action is great and will hopefully provide a way for me to get
rid of my lightview scripts and just rely on Lightbox. As I am
testing this all the images are working but I am having several
problems with quicktime videos
- I save all of my quicktime videos for the web. This creates three
other file types of the movie besides the .mov for web optimization
with phones and the iphone well if I do not use another action to
upload these other files to the resources folder the movie does not
work. Is there a more automated way to upload these other files
using scriptylightbox.
You could try using Upload Stuff or another “uploader” Action to
attach the files to the page, make sure you target the Resources
folder, as that’s where the other files will end up, and they all need
to be together.
- When the movie opens it centers the movie vertically but does not
center the movie and navigation bar properly to make the 16px
navigation bar show up there has to be 32px, 16px of those make the
navigation bar show up and the other 16px create black space above
the movie.
What navigation bar? Do you have a link? The movie should open
entirely alone within an overlay DIV that completely fills the window.
There shouldn’t be any additional content except the movie itself and
its controller.
If you’re using QuickTime with this Action, you have to make all of
your movies on the page exactly the same size, and enter the same
dimensions in the Media Height and Media Width fields (and check the
Controller checkbox if you want that option) for every instance of the
Action used on that page. There is no way to tell which Action will
actually get the job of creating the customized JavaScript that gets
uploaded to the server, so they all have to be told the exact same
thing. I haven’t tested this, but it’s possible that using this Action
means that all movies in the entire site have to be the same size, and
if you use the Action on multiple pages, they would each need to have
the same dimensions entered as well. This would be a good thing to test.
- Is there any way to make a gallery with scriptylightbox so that I
can have one image serve as a link that opens the lightbox from
where you can navigate through a set of images that are not on the
page but only in the gallery I am not talking about a separate page
but a gallery that exists only as a series of images inside the
lightbox window.
Not in the current version of ScriptyLightbox. The underlying library
(Lightwindow2) does support this, but it’s not mapped over to the
Freeway interface.
- Also how do I put captions in lightbox I like to name my images
and videos is there any way to do this.
If you use the Graphic Link to File Action to create your link, as I
recommend, then you can’t. If you hand-code your link to the large
file, then you would add the caption to the Title attribute of the link:
<a href="foo.jpg" class="lightwindow" title="This is my amazing
caption">
![foo]()
Again thanks for the action and I hope that if these issues aren’t
already fixed then they will be in the next version.
No telling when I will have time to implement, but I’m definitely
thinking about how to improve this Action.
