Hello everyone,I was looking for some clues to change the way images are displayed in an item, but failed anyway. Can anybody give me some tips and directions where I can hack around to change the default lightbox function or even disable it? I did not mean the gallery powered by SIG pro. I was talking about the built in image in any items created by K2. Any help is highly appreciated!

Hey scyllar,

First check K2 templating documentation:
community.getk2.org/notes/Templating_in_K2

Create a item.php template override (components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php) and the edit to your hearts content. I'm not sure if there's a parameter for the item image lightbox but you can remove/comment the hyperlink that launches the pop-up located on line 202 (not forgetting the closing on line 204).

Overriding sw_sigpro.php template is another matter although it is doable. Plugin overrides are not possible in Joomla 1.5 so you'll need to get 'creative' with the source or create you own image gallery plugin.

Bonne chance

Thanks a lot Bonne! You are right!

I overrided the item.php (by copying Joomla_Root_Directory/components/com_k2/templates/default folder to Joomla_Root_Directory/templates/My_Templates_Directory/html/com_k2/templates/) and removed the hyperlink tag. Now the lightbox is disabled.

At the moment it is OK for me to simply disable the built in lightbox. But I have noticed the modal engine called by default (media/system/css/modal.css & media/system/js/modal.js) to popup the lightbox. I don't know if there is way to override it :) though we can hack it directly.

Again thanks!

Hi Scyllar,

Thank you Steve, that's great!

it would be inhumane not to thank you. thank you kindly. worked like a charm.

Hi guys!

I´d like to disable the image lightbox function in just ONE (or more) K2 category. Is it possible?

 

Thanks in advance =)

Hey Paul, you have a template override in place?

community.getk2.org/notes/Templating_in_K2

There's even a template comparison package, useful for keeping track of all your custom code:

Thanks very much, Steve!

I´ll check it right now.
