[Plugin: Flickr Gallery] Use external lightbox/fancybox?

  • Is there a way to make this plugin use an external lightbox plugin? I’m playing with fancybox at the moment and it looks better than the default lightbox that is included with the flickr gallery plugin.

    I’d like it if when i click on a thumbnail (square) from a photoset, flickr gallery could pass on a link to a higher quality image to fancy box, or output fancybox compatible html:

    <a>
<img href="...jpg"></img>
</a>

  • Yea i want to know too!

    Yes, I’m on the same quest…

    It isn’t really possible because Flickr requires you to link back to the photo’s photopage for every photo. Doing otherwise is a violation of Flickr’s TOS and can get them to revoke your API key. I’m not going to distribute something that gives people that option.

    Is there a way to simply replace the built-in lightbox function with Lightbox 2? I’m not asking for a link to higher quality images, but simply to use Lightbox 2 instead of the built-in lightbox (I like the functions and look of Lightbox 2).

    rpicrew,

    See my previous response.

    with a little messing around in the code, you can get it to generate the necessary rel=”lightbox” for every image. Make sure you turn off the lightbox option built into the gallery. You can make this work (but as Dan said against Flickr’s TOS). I’ve found a way to do it though and I don’t know a whole lot about js.
