Use more recent LYTEBOX version for CD/Web create

Post by Cambiz » 17 Sep 2012 08:34

Overview
Sizing and internal navigation problems with images on CD and Web page could be overcome by using a more recent version of LYTEBOX.

Problem
FH users Gordon and Mike have found that there are sizing, navigation and other problems with the version of Lytebox used with FH.
Many of these can be solved by updating Lytebox and others through small amendments within the code.
 
Solution
FH to use the most recent version of Lytebox in CD/Webpage creation to allow better image navigation and display.
It should also request that the script option this.__autoResize = true; be able to be selected in the Publishing Wizard.

(Gordon's and Mike's investigation)

Use more recent LYTEBOX version for CD/Web create

According to the Ltyebox Forums Topic the following code will switch autoResize off:

Code: Select all

<a href='image.jpg' class='lytebox' data-lyte-options='autoResize:false'>Link</a>
So it should be easy to select this mode, even on a per image basis.

Another feature missing from Lytebox is the ability to zoom in & out of an image within the Lytbox window, with local scroll bars to navigate, and without affecting the original web page.
I have tried the Ltyebox Forums Topic suggestion but it does not help.
