Date: Jan 23, 2008 3:10 AM<br>Subject: Request an Extension . Extension:LightboxThumbs and one last thing<br>To: Central Wikia Mailing List <<a href="mailto:wikia-l@wikia.com">wikia-l@wikia.com</a>><br><br><br>After talking in #wikia on irc before, Sannse suggest posting to wikia-l.<br>
<br>Would it be possible to have this extension : <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LightboxThumbs" target="_blank">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LightboxThumbs
</a> : tweaked an installed?<br><br>I say tweaked as by it's default install, not everyone would like it. But tweaked? Well that would make it fantastic.<br>If when used you need to pipe in it's effect, IE: <gallery|lightbox></gallery> then that would be super, also fixing it's bug which clearly states it doesn't actually resize images would be great too.
<br><br>I ask as on <a href="http://aoc.wikia.com" target="_blank">aoc.wikia.com</a> for example we have several various galleries with 15+ images.<br><br>Sure we could break them out on to seperate pages but then that just compounds the issue.
<br>For example. 15 Images. To look at a larger version of all 15 images, you have 30+ clicks.<br><br>1: Click Image<br> - View Image, if you like it and available, click to view LARGER version if not.<br>2/3: Click back
<br>4: *repeat from step 1*<br><br>That's a lot of clicking, if you're like me and do actually look at larger versions of gallery images on things you are interested in, it gets annoying.<br><br><br>To clarify, this extension won't make it the same process, it actually turns the gallery into an overlay slideshow, example site of this in place
<i>(not on a wiki, but using the lightbox2 coding).<br></i><a href="http://www.justinbarkhuff.com/lab/lightbox_slideshow/" target="_blank">http://www.justinbarkhuff.com/lab/lightbox_slideshow/</a><br><br>Hovering over the image, gives you a next/previous option
<i>(and it looks funky as it resizes)</i>.<br><br>If this could be considered, that would be <b>very</b> awesome.<br>As a note, at the bottom of the extension page, there is this link : <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Alxndr/Lightbox2_hack" target="_blank">
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Alxndr/Lightbox2_hack</a><br>It's a hack to make it resize the images correctly when clicked, which is a Lightbox2 useage, standard Lightbox I believe doesn't do this, but as always, you can edit a system before installation.
<br><br><br>And one last thing for Jack_Phoenix, he'd love to have <a href="http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke" target="_blank">http://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Nuke</a> installed.<br>I concur, it'd be handy, not for me right now but other wiki's who get hit with the spam bot.
<br>Probably more so for janitors and staff maybe?<br><br><br>If you got to this part of the e-mail. THANKS! :)<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Regards<br>Daworm<br><a href="http://aoc.wikia.com" target="_blank">aoc.wikia.com</a><br>
