image pop up plugin

ronco, it took me a little while to get the img src syntax right. I have other javascript code running and it seems to work. I also had the same problem as you. Are you using FF? If so, do you have the “open link in new browser window” set to no?

Jim, I have been using FF but I have also tried it in IE, with the same results. Also, I couldn’t find the setting for “open link in new browser window” in FF. I have very quickly uploaded a copy of what I have on my home machine to: https://www.lonestarpress.org/photos. For some reason it isn’t displaying quite the same as on my local machine but the popup still doesn’t work, regardless. I think its worth my while to keep plugging away at this, so any suggestions will be welcome. I’m going out 2nite and won’t be around til 2moro but, hopefully, I’ll be able to take it a bit further then.

I use a free javascript called “pop-up images” that I got here: https://www.crays.com/jsc/

It works in IE and FF, and Opera for that matter. I’ve used it through several releases of WP without a hitch. You can see it on WP 1.5 on my site at https://www.persistentillusion.com/blogblog/index.php Just click on any of the pictures in posts to see the pop-up. I also have it running on WP 2.0 on my test bed, but that’s not publically available.

I installed it a little differently than the instructions suggest: Instead of pasting the script into my header, I created a file and stored it in a script folder. I then called the script in my WP header.

I skipped step 2.

In step 3, I do not use the onMouseOver and onMouseOut parameters in my posts when including an image.

For step 4, I put pimg.htm in my WP root.

I know that sounds cryptic, but it will make sense as you read the instructions.

note: edited to fix link. Oops.

I looked at the code for the page, but did not see the onclick=”” in your img link. Check this link https://jwurster.us/wordpress/2005/12/01/december-is-here/ and view the source code. Also, go back to the plugin site and look at the instructions again.

Thanks jabacker, I really like your wee flash gallery by the way. I’ll try out the script when I get a moment.

Jim, I will go back and look at the instructions again. However, I don’t believe Zap’s code will work with WP 2.0 because of the way the images are uploaded – the quick example I set up online used WP 2.0. On saying that, I was having problems with a WP 1.5 install in the first place, on my local machine. I know that Zap’s plugin will work with WP 1.5 and any other theme EXCEPT Horizontal – which takes us back to the original problem.

Ok, I’ve loaded up the site again, this time with a WP 1.5 install. As it did on my local machine, Zap’s plugin works fine with the default themes but won’t work with Horizontal – as you can see.

Well, I guess I will have to read up a lot on WP 2.0 before upgrading to make sure my plugins will work. I’ll have to look at the js code reference above as a backup.

Problem solved. Thank you Zap and everyone who contributed.

IS there a way to make the ZAP plugin password protected, so that a prompt will be required to get access to the larger version?

Thanks.

BTW I posted something similar, regarding protecting links, but if I could find away to pswd protect this JS pop-up, that would be pretty cool.

I have no clue – is this an easy thing, or a major PITA?

@jwurster and LesBessant check out Open Picture Window Plugin

https://soderlind.no/ has a great image manager plugin that lets you decide how you want to show your images, you can also link to pop-ups.
