About jQuery Lightbox For Native Galleries

The development of this plugin has been discontinued and it is recommended to use the carousel module in the Jetpack plugin instead. This plugin allows you to use a lightbox script called ColorBox to display full-size images in the page without any modifications. You can also use the lightbox feature for single non-gallery images by giving their links a class of "lightbox".

Changelog

Version 3.2.2

  • Update ColorBox to v1.3.14 (see it’s changelog). Fixes functionality under WordPress 3.1.

Version 3.2.1

Version 3.2.0

  • Make any link that has the class lightbox into a lightbox. No grouping or anything, at least for now.

Version 3.1.4

  • Don’t change the attachment link inside the admin area.

Version 3.1.3

Version 3.1.2

  • Remove IE PNG fixes as they require a full URL and it’s not worth the trouble. Works well enough in IE8.
  • Change how groups of images are labeled (use a random number rather than the gallery’s ID so it works with the Twenty Ten theme).

Version 3.1.1

  • Update ColorBox to v1.3.4.

Version 3.1.0

  • Update ColorBox to v1.3.3.
  • Include all five of the default ColorBox themes and add a settings page to pick between them.
  • Change the lightbox maxwidth and maxheight to 95% as I think it looks better.

Version 3.0.2

  • Don’t do anything inside of feeds (i.e. modify the thumbnail links).

Version 3.0.1

  • Fix spelling mistake on the ColorBox style ID.

Version 3.0.0

  • Switch the awesome ColorBox. It looks pretty and does large image resizing. Yay!

Version 2.0.1

  • Remove an extra comma that was breaking stupid Internet Explorer. Props Troy.

Version 2.0.0

  • Switched lightbox scripts as I was unhappy with the previous one.

Version 1.1.0

  • Update jquery_lightbox package. It now supports resizing images that are too large as well as not disabling IE6 support.
  • Makes the lightbox gallery-aware, i.e. don’t allow next/prev between image sets. Thanks to Benjamin “balupton” Lupton!

Version 1.0.1

  • Better WordPress 2.6 support (i.e. when you have a moved plugins directory).
