conflict with BK-Thumb ?

I installed both BK-Thumb plugin and Ninjashadowbox module on my Joomla 1.5.15 website.

I want to use BK-thumb to generate thumbnail automatically and to use Ninjashadowbox for shadowbox effect on some links.

Today I found something strange:

I inserted an external image in the article, without ANY link for the image.

Because that image is bigger than the thumbnail size I had set in Bk-thumb parameters, so Bk-thumb generated thumb image for it. Then, when I click on that thumb image, the full-size image will be open with Slimbox (selected in BK-thumb parameters) overlay effect. Then, I click the Close cross, but there still one layer remain. I have to click another Close cross to return to the page.

I am sure the two layers are different, one from Bk-thumb, one from Shadowbox.

I just wonder: why shadowbox took effect in such a situation? I did NOT set rel="shadowbox" for anything when writing that article.

I think, shadowbox should ONLY be triggered when there is rel="shadowbox" in a Hyperlink A tag. If no such an attribute, then shadowbox should stay quiet.

Maybe this is a bug? Hope you can solve this.

Thanks.

Edit:

Ok, when I check the source code of that page, I noticed that the Bk-thumb had set rel="lightbox" to that link to the full-size image. And this is the reason why Shadowbox was triggered.

Now, I think you can add a new feature to avoid this dual-layer problem: add "shadowbox trigger: rel=shadowbox only / rel=lightbox only / both ".

Thanks.

Yes, slimbox uses rel="lightbox".

My suggestion is: can you make a new feature to limit shadowbox to be triggered ONLY by rel="shadowbox"?

Thanks.

Ok, understand now, I will try to contact shadowbox-js author for such a switcher option.

Thanks.

I have to use both Bk-thumb and Ninajashadowbox, I use former to handle images, and the latter to handle media files.

I don't know Ninja Site Styler, thanks for your recommendation. I will try it soon.

And now I have a new idea, I will try to suggest the author of Bk-thumb to add new options to use the shadowbox script provided by Ninjashadowbox, instead of the slimbox script of itself.

Thanks.

Yes, I had posted on BK-thumb's official forum about this idea.

Hope he will agree with me.

BTW, I think you can update your Ninjashadowbox module to use the latest shadowbox js, and warn the user not to use it on commercial site. Does this violate the Shadowbox-JS license?

Thanks.

Understand.

Then, is it easy to replace the current files in your module with latest shadowbox js? For example, I download the latest js form shadowbox home, and upload and overwrite files in your folder naina_shadowbox, then I finished the upgrading. No need to modify any code.

Is it possible?

This feature will make the module more flexible.

Thanks.
