hey,

Been having this problem for ages so happy to come across this post..

Im using Populus (RocketTheme) which uses RokZoom for image popups..

Having trouble making SOBI2 use the RokZoom ?

Is there a way or do I have to try use another ? Tried puttings scripts in /myscripts/ like in the above post and editing the gallery.class.php but still no luck, this error:

Lightbox.init.bind is not a function
http://www.capetownalive.co.za/travel/components/com_sobi2/plugins/gallery/slimbox.js
Line 192

Would rather get RokZoom working - so the template controlls things... any advice would be much appreciated!!

Hi Chris,

you have javascript errors on your site:

Fehler: syntax error
Quelldatei: http://www.capetownalive.co.za/travel/component/option,com_sobi2/Itemid,260/sobi2Task,sobi2Details/sobi2Id,3/
Zeile: 675, Spalte: 51
Quelltext:
ddMapType(G_PHYSICAL_MAP);var point = new GLatLng( , );map0_qbu9c_0.setCenter(point, 18);

Fehler: tst0_qbu9c_0 is not defined
Quelldatei: http://www.capetownalive.co.za/travel/component/option,com_sobi2/Itemid,260/sobi2Task,sobi2Details/sobi2Id,3/
Zeile: 691

I assume this is the reason why the Gallery isn't working.

Thanks for the reply..

Please look at this page instead - the one you looked at didnt have a Lat/Long..

http://www.capetownalive.co.za/travel/component/option,com_sobi2/Itemid,260/sobi2Task,sobi2Details/sobi2Id,8/ - This one shows up with no errors but doesnt open in slimbox/anything..

Ya'll

Here are a couple suggestions.  First off you should really place mootools way at the beginning in your joomla template.  Heck if your template has moo in it there is no need to add this line

<script type='text/javascript' src='{$mosConfig_live_site}/myscripts/mootools.js'></script>

You should also place the other files in the template too unless you are for sure you will not be loading them elsewhere.  You will want to turn off JS add-ons if you are not using them.  Only load JS that is needed.  There has been known collisions with javascript of SOBI2 and other add on JS.  (Not saying SOBI2 is bad or that add ons are bad).

Also if you are not seeing the slimbox appear it is probably not loading the CSS file so check that the CSS file path is correct. 

Debug using firefox & fiebug.  Do not try with IE.

However, you get things set in firefox then see if your site runs in IE 6/7.  If IE gives fatal errors check these threads.

NOTE:  These are not really Joomla 1.5 problems they are JS problems.

Final Note:  Mootools/slimbox the author mentioned are working fine at my site.  I just am not running gallery.   They also are all playing nicely with SOBI2...  http://www.uoobuild.com/joomla.

@chriscapetown

It works.   I click on the (open lightbox) link and PRESTO!  It works. 

You may want to clear your browser cache.  When messing with javascript clear your browser each time you load new javascript.

thanks uuobuild,

Still doesnt seem to be working for me, not too worried about the maps tab showing up with effects, but the gallery tab nothing is showing just opens as a picture file.

Quite confused at the moment 

[Belaire Technologies]

Whatever you changed....  I now get javascript errors. 

[chriscapetown]

Ok well ive got myself very confused, anyway.. thinking about this..

If I go back to the Populus template's original index.php, and change gallery.class.php to its original, what steps would I take to fix it?

[Trinity]

Hi Chris,

...change gallery.class.php to its original,

There is no need to change the Gallery Plugin to switch to mootools/slimbox!!
You use version RC2.2. This version already has included the tip from this thread. This thread is obsolete since November 2007 (version RC2.1 of Gallery Plugin).
Check the admin panel of the Gallery Plugin.

Yes, because in your modified version on the gallery neither the slimbox script nor the lightbox script are included.
