FAlbum AJAX Lightbox

Published by gringod at 1:06 pm under GrinGod [dot] Com, Links, PHP, Programming, Site Work

Since I moved GrinGod [dot] com to UH Hosting I have no longer had Gallery installed on the server, instead I use Flickr for hosting my images.

To display the images in my website I decided to go with FAlbum, a plugin for Wordpress.  This morning I upgraded FAlbum to the latest version (0.6.4).  I also saw in Digg this morning a list of Downloadable AJAX Galleries, Slideshows and Effects.

One thing led to another and I ended up doing a mash-up of FAlbum and Lightbox JS.  Now, when you are viewing an image in my photos, you can click on one of the size links which (if you are using a modern browser) will display the selected image size in a nice Web 2.0 style lightbox.

If you want to use my mash-up I’ve made the modified files available on my download page.  Please note that I am not planning on supporting this mash-up and that I may well make changes to it in the future.  None of my changes have been or will be localised.

    This is an awesome hack. Thanks for your hardwork, I have one question. How to I get it to behave as you do on your site instead of only using lightbox for the sized images?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Glad you like the hack. This new hack works in pretty much the same way although I had to do yet more changes to the FAlbum base class.

    I’ll release another set of changed files when I get into work on Monday if you want to use it.

    [...] Um meine bei flickr abgelegten Photos auch in meinem Weblog zeigen zu können, verwende ich das Wordpress-Plugin fAlbum. Leider unterstützt dieses Plugin bisher noch nicht die Anzeige der Photos mittels Lightbox JS, ein Javascript, mit dem man eine Webseite sehr elegant mit einem anzuzeigenden Bild überlagern kann. Eigenlich wollte ich diese Funktionalität selbst in fAlbum einbauen, zum Glück habe ich vorher noch recherchiert: GrinGod hatte die gleiche Idee und hat fAlbum bereits modifiziert. Seit heute ist das angepasste Plugin online. Ausprobieren kann man es in meiner Photogallerie.

    I have a few suggestions:

    1. When you click a thumbnail and the lightbox shows up, I’d like to see a “View this is flickr” link on there that links to the flickr page for that image.

    2. If you have more than 1 page full of images, your only able to navigate the images in the current page using the Next and Previous button in the lightbox view.

    Hi jason,

    1. Funny you should mention that. It’s something I’ve been working on as part of the 0.6.6 upgrade.

    2. Not sure if this is possible because of the way Lightbox JS works, but I’ll have a look into it.

    What does everyone think about making something like falbum that uses the lightbox 2.0 plugin. is that possible? i’m not a coder, just an idea man but i think that would be really cool.

  7. # gringodon 07 Dec 2006 at 10:57 am

    But my latest versions of the mashup do use Lightbox 2.0… or are you talking about using the Lightbox in a different way?

    Checkout my downloads page for the latest version.

    Great plugin! you’ve saved me a lot of hassle on my site, keep up the good work .

    I upgraded my FAlbum plugin. This post will serve as a searchable reminder for me of the things I need to do after I upgrade the FAlbum plugin in the future.

    If it’s not a silly question, did you mean the actual UH Hosting run by James, or United Hosting run by Matt? Simply because the two companies are often confused, especially with United Hosting often using the UH abbreviation.

  11. # gringodon 14 Jan 2007 at 12:36 am

    I meant the UH Hosting run by James. I’ve never heard of that United Hosting

    There is a small loading time as the AJAX goodness goes on behind the scenes but the full editable page opens up.

    Nice integration. So when can we look forward to falbum 0.6.9 modified. Good work. Thanks

  14. # gringodon 12 Feb 2007 at 1:12 am

    Thanks for the thumbs up exodus :) To be honest I had been keeping up with changes to FAlbum but since you’ve requested it I’ll check it out just as soon as I can.

  15. # Exoduson 13 Feb 2007 at 10:24 pm
