time for me to try and give a bit back to the community.
ive worked out how to incorporate fancy box with maxigallery. pretty easy solution (after i spent hours stumbling)
ive created a TV call customscripts that i can insert custom head tags of my choice
so i added the calls to fancybox (i also use fancy box with direct resize s i thought id just call it from there. as it works perfectly.)
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/plugins/directresize/libs/frameworks/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/plugins/directresize/libs/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.0.0.js"></script>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/plugins/directresize/libs/fancybox/jquery.pngFix.pack.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/plugins/directresize/libs/fancybox/fancy.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery.noConflict();
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("a.fancybox").fancybox();
});
</script>
i also created a chunk called fancymaxi and it contained
<li>
<a href="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+][+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="fancybox" rel="gallery">
<img src="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+]tn_[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="thumbnail" title="[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]
[+maxigallery.strings.click_to_zoom+]" alt="[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+] [+maxigallery.strings.click_to_zoom+]" />
</a>
[+maxigallery.picture.title:isnot=``:then=`
<p style="width: [+maxigallery.picture_width_thumb+]px;">
[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]
</p>
`+]
</li>
then i made my call to show the gallery contents
[!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`external` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &galleryPictureTpl=`fancymaxi`!]
and there you have it!! working sweet!
My next challenge which im stuck with is getting it to work with the quick edit menu enabled.
Ive read that we should cange all the other scripts to suit it but is there a way of changing IT so its more compatible with the other scripts?
