SIG Pro Not Working! was created by Royal Bhaktapur
Just Purchased the SIG Pro module. Looked very nice in the demo. So I want to use the GreyBox feature. Thumbnails are generating and it's working. Damm that's easy, no more work for generate those stupid things!
Only all the small thumbnails (50pixels) are showing under each other, not next to each other. Also the nice thumbnail effect border is not shown like in the demo.
And at last, the image is just opening in a new window instead of the greybox popup.
Edit: I've tried all the pop-up methods. None of them are working.

Site url (not live yet!):
www.royalbhaktapur.com/beta/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=6

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You need to disable Joomla's cache first (cause the cache prevents plugins from working properly - this is a bug on Joomla 1.0.x). Than you should know that your site's template has moo.fx loaded onto it. That means you will get conflicts with the Slimbox and Thickbox engines probably.  ;)

Cache was already off: At Global Configuration --> cache: Caching is set to "no"
At the index.php I've removed all those lines which might be causing a conflict. Unfortunately I cannot see any difference after making these modifications.

Any other tips to get this mod working?

SIG Pro includes some CSS and JS files on the <head> of the template. When these are not visible in source code view, then it's usually the cache preventing the plugin from functioning properly. In your case it can be a third-party cache component. Please be more specific. If you have doubts, do a second install on your server (a clean joomla install) to make sure.

Thanks for your reply. I'm already a little bit further (I hope). I tested it on my  clean joomla localhost install. Working perfectly. When I change it to my customized template it isn't working. Tried to delete all the lines, which might be causing problems, no difference.
When checking the source, it seems that the code for the popups is not being written into the index.php
My index.php template is set to: 644. It says writeable at the templates section. So the problem might be in the template or its associated css files. But still don't know how to solve it  :(

Did you include this code snippet in the head of your template?
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>

Well, you already aknowledged the fact that this is a template issue. Since this will not help users here, feel free to mail JoomlaWorks and get help for it.  ;)

Well, the answer is quite simple.

You are loading the gallery inside a module. A module however, although capable of displaying plugins within it, it is not able to handle certain joomla functions (like the $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag function), which SIG Pro utilizes in particular (so that it renders XHTML/CSS Valid).

In other words, the SIG Pro tags you enter are transformed in a gallery, but the required CSS and JS files are not passed to the head of the template -as they should.

Take the gallery off the module and put it inside a content item and you will see it works.  ;)

Sorry, but this is the way Joomla works.

Please please help!

Is there any way at all to get SigPro working inside a module?  I understand that the $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag function wont work - but if I added the relevant links into the head of my template directly would this by-pass the problem???

Hey nikibh,

I went to a page on my site where SigPro was working properly (outside any modules) and viewed the source of the page... there I found:

<!-- JW "Simple Image Gallery PRO" Plugin (v1.2) starts here -->
....code here.....
<!-- JW "Simple Image Gallery PRO" Plugin (v1.2) ends here -->

I copied the whole thing and pasted it into the head of the template that contained the module that I want to insert the gallery into.... AND IT WORKED!  What it does mean tho is that if you change the pop up engine in joomla you'll have to change the links in your template to match or it'll stop working.  I'm sure it's not the best way of achieving this as 1) presumably the $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag function is still being called from somewhere and failing....perhaps this could be removed from the relevant file? 2) it did seem to mess up the styling a bit - but maybe that just needs tweaking.... and 3) it adds to the overall size of your index.php file and the no. of requests in the head tag - which may slow your download times.....

I've only just tried this and I'm hoping there wont be a knock on effect with other parts of my site  :-\

So - I hope this helps you.  If one of the makers of SigPro could advise if this is a bad idea or whatever than please do!  :)

Thanks,
Elle

No it won't...  ;)

We'll add an option for v1.3 to be able to use the plugin inside a module.  ;)

Well that would really be fantastic.
Btw, when is the release of v1.3 scheduled? Saw somewhere on the forum between 28-30 May...
