If you want your images to open in an ajax popup here is how:

1. Download attachment.

2. Upload the files to your server:
a. Upload the images to your root/image directory.
b. Upload the lightbox.js to your root/jscripts directory.
c. UploadÂ Â lightbox.css to your root/ directory

3.Â Â In your admincp edit the template "headerinclude".Â Â You will add these 2 lines in your meta.

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="lightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/lightbox.js"></script>

4. Edit the template " postbit > postbit_attachments_thumbnails_thumbnail" you will get rid of the target="_blank" and also add rel="lightbox" to the anchor.

Finished code should be this:

Code:

<a href="attachment.php?aid={$attachment['aid']}" rel="lightbox"><img src="attachment.php?thumbnail={$attachment['aid']}" class="attachment" alt="" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now the only drawback of this is when you don't allow guests to view attachments.Â Â The ajax will popup indefinitely until clicked.Â Â I will work on a fix for that.Â Â For now you can go into your group and change it forÂ Â "Unregistered / Not Logged In" to allow download of attachments.

You can see working demo here:Â Â

Please make sure to test this in Firefox, Opera, and IE after installation. If you are getting an error it may be an onload conflict. You may need to add to the body tag of template "Show Thread Templates > showthread" this code:

Check your body tag and look for an onload attribute. Example:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(â€˜/images/menu_on.gifâ€™)â€¦;">
A quick fix to this problem is to append the initLightbox() to the onload attribute as so:
<body onload="MM_preloadImages(â€˜/images/menu_on.gifâ€™)â€¦;initLightbox()">

Check to make sure the body tag is altered.
