When there is a large image ( maybe small also ) on the wall, and you click on it, instead of opening in a shadow box type thing, its opens on a new page without menu's and such so they have to click back to get back to the site. It would be MUCH MUCH better if it opened into an overlay of some sort.
Hello Troy,

Unfortunately I don't think there's any way for us to manipulate this unfortunately And I really don't want to add more weight to the loading time when it's already slow

Hello Troy,

Image lightboxes only works with internal images uploaded via the stream or photos. If you are referring to images that are embedded within Kunena or articles, they do not open on a lightbox because we do not have any records of it in the photos library.

yep, its kunena ( ladydalainy replied to the topic GuildFund Report in Bank Discussion )
When kunena is processed into the wall by the plugin i'm assuming there is a method to handle the image. could possibly an option be added to wrap that image in say rokbox or some other way of simply overlaying the image?
I would think since the lighbox is already added to native images, it would be fairly simple to call that method during kunena import?

p.s. Happy Fathers Day Mark

Hello Troy,

Hm, to be honest I am not sure if that's possible unless Kunena supports it. Right now the photo lightbox that you see on the stream is only meant for EasySocial photos. It's a little heavy to actually go through the HTML codes that Kunena converts and going in and do a search / replace for image tags will be heavy.

Thank you (Although I am not a father yet haha)

i totally get it. if I get a bit of good thinking maybe I can find a good solution w/o slowing the front end down. Don't hold your breath though :P

Hello Troy,

As long as the javascript needs to scan for "images", it's going to hog down the browser unless you do it in reverse. In other words, in the content itself add attributes so that it's easier to find for these items rather than scanning through the whole DOM. However, this would pose another issue because doing a search / replace on html codes via PHP is very resourceful.

i'm not sure how kunena does it.. I know kunena loads FAST. I'm thinking the url is saved .. notice..
<a href="http://alterego-of-pwi.info/media/kunena/attachments/573/2014-06-1411-16-43.jpg" title="2014-06-1411-16-43.jpg" rel="lightbox[imagelink3565]"><img title="2014-06-1411-16-43.jpg" src="http://alterego-of-pwi.info/media/kunena/attachments/573/2014-06-1411-16-43.jpg" alt="2014-06-1411-16-43.jpg"></a>
instead of importing just the image link, couldn't we simply import the whole thing?

Unfortunately we can't right now. In fact it will also be confusing because on the other hand you have another type of photo popup which is from EasySocial
