Image pop up question rev.10

[hotwheels]

On the old vesion rev.9, when you clicked on a thumbnail image, it popped up a seperate page, with the image..........when i click on the thumbnail now, the page refreshes and my image is the page if that make's any sense...there is no longer a seperate page......Only way back to my website is by clicking where it say's "back".

I have this also with vB 3.6 gold and vBPicGallery v10RC2. The popup window opens resized according to the size of the picture. The natural reaction after is to click the 'Close' button. Doing so closes the browser and you are out. Seems the popup needs something like target="_blank" to open it in a new window for it.

This needs an urgent fix before my mailbox gets filled with angy-mail.

From what you ahve posted, you didn't do all the instructions on the install or upgrade. There are no more popups for full sizze photos. It sounds like you need to revert all of your templates for vbpicgallery.

[firstrebel]

All the vbpicgallery_* templates are reverted - none are in red.
There are no more popups
Whatever you want to call the window that opens when you click on a thumbnail.

Go over to my forum and go to any of the Members Cars galleries and click on a thumbnail.

Those windows are still resizing and popping up, there is no code to do that in the newest version. There must be a template issue with your vB install.

[firstrebel]

I set up a new style using fresh templates and installed vBPicGallery again from fresh, so the only templates I modified were those in the installation instructions. I uninstalled the product then reinstalled it.

Same problem. So it can't be anything to do with other template edits, as they were all standard 3.6 0 versions.

Mine does the same thing firstrebel, but it seem's since we are on ajax, that may it won't pop up anymore and the large image's will appear as a page and hopefully people will arrow back to the site, instead of shutting down the browser.

Thanks for the update noppid: There are no more popups for full sizze photos. this will probably take my member's sometime to get used too, but i am sure it will all work out........thank's, hotwheels of insanemustangs.com

This is not correct, it should not happen this way. The thumbnail needs to open in a new window. Noppid, what's your comments on this please?

I have just noticed that when you click a thumbnail on this gallery there is a 'Back' button and not a 'Close' button. Is this new as it's not on mine. I have reuploaded eveything. My members are not very happy.

In all honesty all I want to happen when someone clicks a thumbnail is to pop the image up at full resolution in its own window. No need for any kind of page with a back or close button. They just want to see an image :)

Yes indeed. Does anyone have the 'Back' button as on this site's gallery?

The popups with resize broke tabs in browsers. So we now just open a new page in the same window.

Try adding target="_new" in the vbpicgallery_imagebits template anchor tag.

[firstrebel]

Thanks noppid, all OK now.

<a style="cursor:pointer; cursor-hand" href="$vboptions[bburl]/vbpicgallery.php?$session[sessionurl]do=big&amp;p=$image[vbpicgalleryid]" title="$image[name]" target="_new">
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/vbpgimage.php?do=thumb&amp;p=$image[vbpicgalleryid]&amp;d=$image[u_date]" alt="$image[description]" border="0" />
</a>

[hotwheels]

That's awesome noppid, thanks for the quick help on this issue.......
