Error: thickboxL10n is not defined with custom thickbox.js URL set

  • I have modified the HTML structure for thickbox.js and I am loading it through the lightbox advanced settings. Everything worked great until after I updated NextGen to 2.0.66.16.

    There is now a “Uncaught ReferenceError: thickboxL10n is not defined” error showing up because the nextgen_thickbox_init.js is not outputting the CDATA with the var = thickboxL10n data defined.

    If I switch it back to using wordpress#thickbox in the URL setting, it loads fine and the CDATA with the var = thickboxL10n data is outputted. If I set it to https://example.com/wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.js, the error is back. It seems like using anything other than wordpress#thickbox causes the init.js not to work properly.

    Any help is appreciated, I need to have the modified thickbox.js loading.

    Edit: No caching plugins or other lightbox plugins installed/activated.

    @dnuon – I’m not sure what you are trying to sort out, NextGEN Gallery appears to work fine as is when using its default settings based on the description of your topic.

    Are you saying that once you change things to use your customized code that is when things stop working?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Correct, NextGEN works great with the default settings but if I replace wordpress#thickbox with a URL to a modified thickbox.js file in my theme folder, I get an error. The CDATA with the var = thickboxL10n... data that the nextgen_thickbox_init.js usually outputs does not get outputted.

    I tested whether if it had anything to do with the modified thickbox.js by putting in the full URL to the wp-include WordPress thickbox.js and I get the same error. It looks like using anything other than the default wordpress#thickbox for the javascript URL setting causes the nextgen_thickbox_init.js not to output the CDATA with the var = thickboxL10n ... data.

    The modified thickbox.js file retains all the same variables as the original with changes only to the HTML structure it generates for the lightbox.

    @dnuon – You may need to look at changing your implementation if this is the case. We only include bundled/referenced Lightbox effects as a convenience and as such do not really offer a great deal of support for customizations beyond that.

    You are welcome to submit a Bug Report (https://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/ … please reference this topic) with all of the details involved in your site/customizations so we can have a better look at what might be going on and I will pass those details along to our developers to review.

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
