Lightbox Gallery

Activities ::: mod_lightboxgallery
Maintained by Andrew Hancox, Adam Olley
Part of set Lightbox Gallery.
This resource allows you to create 'Lightbox' enabled image galleries within your Moodle course. As a course teacher, you are able to create, edit and delete galleries. Smallthumbnails will then be generated, which are used for the thumbnail view of the gallery.
Latest release:
3577 sites
1k downloads
100 fans
Current versions available: 11

Clicking on any of the thumbnails brings that image into focus, and allows you to scroll through the
gallery at your leisure. Using the Lightbox scripts creates nice transition effects when loading and
scrolling through the images.

    Hi Sara/Matt,

    I"ve taken a look on a 2.5.3 moodle and a 2.7 dev and can't see what you're seeing. However I've only done a quick check with the Standard and Clean themes in Chrome.

    What browser are you using and which moodle theme?

    Hi Adam.
    I'm using standard theme and Chrome.
    The problem seems to be in gallery-lightbox-min.js file.
    I compared the new version of the file with the previous one and I added ".hide()" to B.one("#lightbox"), changing it in "B.one("#lightbox").hide()" and now it seems to work.
    I'm not sure this solution is ok because I didn't check all the library's code.

    I have the same problem. here. I tried it on two different installations with the same browser. One works and one not. I upgraded the none working installation from 2.5 to 2.6 and it still does not work.

    Hi, I have the same problem on Moodle 2.6 with Safari, Chrome and Firefox. I have tried the solution proposed by Sara but it still does not work.

    HI all, I've updated the plugin over on github to fix the problem of the lightbox appearing at the bottom of the page and am about to update the download here.

    Daniel: Do you have the GD php extension installed? GD is used to generate the thumbnails and perform the other image editing actions.

    It says at the top you need to install the lightbox gallery set. But the other plugin says it is only for 1.9. I'm assuming this is incorrect.

    Derek: The other plugin goes with the 1.9 version of lightbox and isn't relevant for the 2.x version.

    How can I quickly delete all images and comments within a gallery without deleting the gallery itself.

    Hi Adam.
    Is there an easy way to speed up the transition animation to a new image? It takes long enough that users are mouse clicking to get to the next image before the animation has finished and it ends the slideshow because the Next and Previous click events aren't active yet?

    I have been using the Lightbox in class with much success. The thing that would really help me to be able to use this exclusively, and not have to supplement with another platform, like flickr, would be for users to have the ability to make comments on specific images that are attached to the images themselves, not just dumped collectively at the bottom of the screen. Is this possible in some way that I'm missing? Does the future of the Lightbox Gallery hold this functionality? Please make my life easier and reduce the structural stress and confusion on my students!

    So I fixed my need for speed with the next image animation.
    The _showImage: function was missing the duration parameter in its animation in gallery-lightbox-min.js .
    I added

    duration: this.get("overlayDuration")

    to S=new B.anim({...}) and it's working as per the overlayDuration parameter now.
