Hello.

I’d like to make the pictures which are uploaded thru the File Manager and can be inserted into the TinyMCE editor for an Entry—-> to be able to popup fancybox window when clicked on front-end.

What would do you suggest be the optimal way to do this? Perhaps use some ready made module?
Or write my custom. Do I have to upload fancybox script at all? Please guide me, not to perform needless additional coding.

Hi dinkodinev,

Fancybox style features are generally driven by Javascript and can be used with ExpressionEngine just like any other Javascript. There isn’t an ExpressionEngine add-on specifically for this. I would wager that most folks use jQuery and one of the many fancybox plugins available. Most scripts act on a specific CSS class or ID assigned to the image, which you should be able to apply via the TinyMCE editor.

Since this request isn’t directly related to a technical issue you are having with ExpressionEngine, I’m gong to move this into Community Help to get a broader audience in on the discussion.

Cheers!

Yes. Thank you! I’ve already did it by uploading a fancybox script.
I actually did something like a module with php directly in the templates where dumping the {full_text} which now I do automatically replace <img ><img > tags to invoke the fancy.

It’s kinda tricky when you want to place free text into php variables. Best technique it came into my mind was something like this:
$full_texta = <<< PENCHO_GAZARA2
{full_text}
PENCHO_GAZARA2;

Anyway…

Now I have another problem. I am not certain in which forum is suitable. Personally I find it to be a technical question.

So I am creating a new topic here….
