Images open in blank window insead of lightboxing was created by Timothy Black Black
hey,
I'm running Joomla 1.5 and have installed SIG Pro 1.2 (the latest version) ... the thumbnails display fine, but the "Greybox" seems to be the only gallery function that works properly.
I need the functionality and appearance of the standard lightbox or slimbox etc. with captions and nice shape in the screens centre.
I've trauled this forum and tried most of the suggested fixes with no success.
FYI: I've modified a downloaded template, and only installed one other module (Images Slider) but the problem persists even when this module is disabled.
I tried SIG Pro running with ALL the templates i have with no change to the functionality of Sig Pro on any template.
Can you help me pleeeeaase!
Thanks in advance.

Hi there!
Probably, you have already loaded the mootools ( or jquery ) library ( in your template, or in some other plugin ) and this is the reason for the conflict.
The Greybox uses its own javascript library.
Can you please post a direct link to the gallery to check out the page source?
Thank you!

I would like to say that I have the same trouble:
I have installed the normal version and it works very well. Then I have tried the professional version again and it doesn't work. The thumbnails are displayed correctly and the nice effect doesn't work.
The link to the page is:
www.ascanwex.de/en/travelogues/namibia/133-die-namibia-bilder-sind-da
(For the time being the only the standard version is installed to see the effect nevertheless. I would rather like to use the pro version though.)
Thanks a lot,
sincerely
Kelley

Well, both your sites call the mootools library more than once and this is the source of the conflict!
@http://www.rhythmlivin.com/cms/
@http://www.ascanwex.de/en/travelogues/namibia/133-die-namibia-bilder-sind-da
First of all, you have to reduce those calls to only one.
Try to cut off the calls from the template and from the sig pro.
Have you both tried to use some other popup engine of sig pro that uses jquery?
@timmaeeee
Do you have enabled joomfish? If yes, you have to patch the code with that .
It's a known issue and solved in the new version that is going to be released soon.
Thank you

hey vinikey,
sounds like this could definately be the answer i'm looking for. .. unfortunately due to my rookie status, I don't know where to find (or cut off) these calls to the mootools library - can you give me a quick tip on this?
To answer your other questions ..
I've tried all the popup engines, and only greybox works for me.
I also do have joomfish enabled, to be honest i don't know if i need it or not. I tried using the sig pro without it and it made no difference to functionality for me.
look forward to hearing from you again.
cheers.

Well, probably one of the calls takes place inside the current template.
You have to open the template file to check it out.
About the sigpro, the mootools call takes place at the line 175Just remove it!
I have to remind you that you have always take backups of all your files you change!
Thank you!

hey again ...
making progress. I searched around to find HOW/WHERE i go to remove such calls to those mootools.js files and the only thing i could find was a work around to paste the following into my template's index.php file::
<?php
{ $document =& JFactory::getDocument();
unset($document->_scripts[$this->baseurl . '/media/system/js/mootools.js']);
}
?>
it seems to remove the second reference for mootools from the template ok, but sig is still not working with any of the mootools popup engines.
the change has however made the lightbox (Jquery) popup engine function ... still not ideal, but getting there.
if you can give me more input PLEEEEAASE it would be much appreciated.
thanks again.

Hi again!
Well, I still can see 2 calls of the mootools library and one of them is from sigpro.
Have you tried to remove it as I said in the previous post?
Also, you'll need to make the hack for the joomfish, because now the paths of sig pro aren't right. As you can see the path isinstead of
Can you give me a super administrator account to play with the params of sig pro?
Thank you!
