WordPress.org

2.4.6

• Fixed PHP 5 comment bug that got reintroduced into plugin

2.4.5

• Updated compatibility with WordPress 3.3
• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.19
  • Fixed bug related to using the 'fixed' property.
  • Optimized the setup procedure to be more efficient.
  • Removed $.colorbox.init() as it will no longer be needed (will self-init when called).
  • Removed use of $.browser.
  • Fixed a regression where Flash content displayed in ColorBox would be reloaded if the browser window was resized.
  • Added safety check to make sure that ColorBox's markup is only added to the DOM a single time, even if $.colorbox.init() is called multiple times. This will allow site owners to manually initialize ColorBox if they need it before the DOM has finished loading.
  • Updated the example index.html files to be HTML5 compliant.
  • Changed the slideshow behavior so that it immediately moves to the next slide when the slideshow is started.
  • Minor regex bugfix to allow automatic detection of image URLs that include fragments.

2.4

• Removed all support for PHP 4.
  • If you still need a version that works with PHP 4 DO NOT UPGRADE
  • If you get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /path/to/plugin/classes/filters.class.php on line 81 you have PHP 4.
  • Contact your host provider to see if they can upgrade to PHP 5.
• Fixed issue where PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser was stripping returns causing issue with HTML output in several plugins (including SyntaxHighlighter Evolved)
  • This issue should be fairly rare.
• Patched PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser (shd.class.php) to verify mb_detect_encoding() function exist before calling
  • This issue was reported by several users that did not have mbstring functions compiled into PHP.
  • Assumes UTF-8 if function doesn't exist
  • The correct solution is to add the mbstring library to PHP (contact you host/support to resolve)

2.3.1

• Changed wp_enqueue_script of jquery.colorbox-min.js to reduce chance of conflict with other implementations of ColorBox (should update for this reason)
• Updated PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser from version 1.1 to 1.5
  • Memory leak fixed!
  • Added support for detecting the source html character set. This is used to convert characters when plaintext is requested.
  • Other little fixes and features, too numerous to categorize.
  • Error of "file_get_contents()" will be thrown as an exception.
  • Add flag: LOCK_EX while calling "file_put_contents()".
  • Fix the typo of "token_blank_t".
  • Supports xpath generated from Firebug.
  • New method "dump" of "simple_html_dom_node".
  • New attribute "xmltext" of "simple_html_dom_node".
  • remove preg_quote on selector match function: [attribute*=value];
  • Element "Comment" will treat as children.
  • Fixed the problem with <pre>.
  • Fixed bug #2207477 (does not load some pages properly).
  • Fixed bug #2315853 (Error with character after < sign).
• Cleaned up some general code and updated some help in the admin panel
• Updated demos as some were no longer pointing to working links
• Fixed typos in this file
• Updated the following styles: Dark, Elegant, Framed, Lightweight, and Shadowed

2.3

• Tested with WordPress 3.2.x
• Minor bug fixes
• Some minor text fixes
• Added option to allow up to 100 inline lightboxes
• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.17
  • Added properties "top", "bottom", "left" and "right" to specify a position relative to the viewport, rather than using the default centering.
  • Added property "data" to specify GET or POST data when using Ajax. ColorBox's ajax functionality is handled by jQuery's .load() method, so the data property works the same way as it does with .load().
  • Added property "fixed" which can provide fixed positioning for ColorBox, rather than absolute positioning. This will allow ColorBox to remain in a fixed position within the visitors viewport, despite scrolling. IE6 support for this was not added, it will continue to use the default absolute positioning.
  • Fixed ClearType problem with IE7.
  • Minor fixes.
• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.16
  
  • Better IE related transparency workarounds. IE7 and up now uses the same background image sprite as other browsers.
  • Added error handling for broken image links. A message will be displayed telling the user that the image could not be loaded.
  • Added new property: 'fastIframe' and set it to true by default. Setting to fastIframe:false will delay the loading graphic removal and onComplete event until iframe has completely loaded.
  • Ability to redefine $.colorbox.close (or prev, or next) at any time.

2.2.2

• Corrected load_plugin_textdomain function calls, had incorrect number of arguments - Thanks Johannes!
• Minor interface corrections

2.2.1

• Require HTML Parser only for PHP 5.X. Was causing errors with PHP 4.X.
• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.15
  • In IE6, closing an iframe when using HTTPS no longer generates a security warning.
  • Changed the index.html example files to use YouTube's new embedded link format.
  • By default, ColorBox returns focus to the element it was launched from once it closes. This can now be disabled by setting the 'returnFocus' property to false. Focus was causing problems for some users who had their anchor elements inside animated containers.
  • Minor bug fix involved in using a combination of slideshow and non-slideshow content.
  • Minor bug fix involved in preloading images when using a function as a value for the href property.
  • The slideshow now respects the loop property.
  • Fixed compatibility with jQuery 1.4.3
  • The 'open' property now accepts a function as a value, like all of the other properties.
  • Preloading now loads the correct href for images when using a dynamic (function) value for the href property.
  • Fixed bug in Safari 3 for Win where ColorBox centered on the document, rather than the visitor's viewport.
  • May have fixed an issue in Opera 10.6+ where ColorBox would rarely/randomly freeze up while switching between photos in a group.
  • Some functionality better encapsulated & minor performance improvements.

2.2

• Fixed "Object id #", "Object", "Object #" errors with PHP 5.1.x.
  • Problem was due to circular memory leak in PHP 5.1 and 5.2 and HTML DOM object not being cleaned up.
  • Altered way the content is returned to allow for closure and cleaning of object sooner eliminating memory leak.
• Due to overhwhelming demand I added PHP 4 functionality back in but it is not officially supported.
  • If you were seeing an error that looked something like Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /path/to/plugins/lightbox-plus/classes/shd.class.php on line 86 you have PHP 4.
  • Option is automatically set to use legacy method if you have PHP 4
  • You will have to manually select the option to use the PHP 4 Auto Lightbox Method if you are using PHP 5.X and wish to use legacy method.
• Fix for images with upper case file extension not being auto-lightboxed.
• Probable fix for XML Parsing Error: no element found likely caused by memory leak
  • Unable to reproduce error but research indicates memory leak is a likely cause.

2.1

• Now requires PHP 5+, no PHP 4 support.
  • PHP4 reached it's end of life on 8/8/2008 nearly 2 years ago.
• Fixed problems with initialization and re-initialization of the plugin not working under various circumsanstances.
  • Add code for activation/deactivation of the plugin

  • Using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser for parsing HTML
  • Should mitigate issues of not consuming the HTML content and correctly modifying it

  • Provide better conrol over how actions and filters are added by Lightbox Plus.
  • Provides fix for jQuery UI styles loading on all admin panels.
  • Prevented jquery.colorbox.min.js from loading on admin panels other than Lightbox Plus.
• Rewrote several functions to provide better compaibility with other plugins.
  • Admin scripts are now enqued correctly.
  • Admin and plugin styles are now enqueued correctly.
• Fixed slideshow always auto-starting if slideshow enabled.
• Changed several variables and related fields
  • Do Not Auto-Lightbox Images using auto_lightbox to no_auto_lightbox to accurately reflect it's use.
  • Do Not Display Image Title using display_titles to no_display_titles to accurately reflect it's use.
  • Use Class Method using class_method to use_class_method to accurately reflect it's use.
  • If you use any of these settings you will need to re-check them and save your settings.
• Reduced size of inline JavaScript and converted all to jQuery.
  • Reduced size of some scripts using old toggle method for help.

2.0.2

• Add quick fix/hack for a big interface issue on the admin panel. See roadmap for long term solution.
  • jQuery UI themes were overloading other plugins that were using the jQuery UI
  • Lightbox Plus specific themes and scripts should only load on Lightbox Plus panel
  • The exception is colorbox.min.js will load in any admin panel due to the way it is initilized. Expect version 2.0.5 to address this.

2.0.1

  • Fixed a bug in IE7 that existed with some iframed websites that use JS to reposition the viewport caused ColorBox to move out of position.
  • Abstracted the identifiers (HTML ids & classes, and JS plugin name, method, and events) so that the plugin can be easily rebranded.
  • Small changes to improve either code readability or compression.

1.7

• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.7
  • $.colorbox can now be used for direct calls and accessing public methods. Example: $.colorbox.close();
  • Resize now accepts 'width', 'innerWidth', 'height' and 'innerHeight'. Example: $.colorbox.resize({width:"100%"})
  • Added option (loop:false) to disable looping in a group.
  • Added options (escKey:false, arrowKey:false) to disable esc-key and arrow-key bindings.

  • Fixed a bug where iframed URLs would be truncated if they contained an unencoded apostrophe.
  • Now uses the exact href specified on an anchor, rather than the version returned by 'this.href'. This was causing "#example" to be normalized to "http://domain/#example" which interfered with how some users were setting up links to inline content.

1.6.9.7

• Fixed auto-lightbox breaking links that contained manually created rel="lightbox[]" attributes.

1.6.9.6

  • Fixed invalid function call that would prevent older versions of IE (7 or less) from rendering lightbox at all.
• Fixed issue that if admin was being accessed via SSL you could not save settings.

1.6.9

• Fixed problem with styles in IE 6/7/8 not working under various circumstnaces (hopefully)
• Added the option to disable Lightbox Plus from adding it's own styles allowing the user to place Lightbox/Colorbox styles in their theme stylesheet and reduce number of files loading.

  • Fixed a bug introduced in 1.3.4 where colorbox could not be launched by triggering an element's click event through JavaScript.
  • Minor refinements.
  • Event delegation is now used for elements that ColorBox is assigned to, rather than individual click events.
  • Additional callbacks have been added to represent other stages of ColorBox's lifecycle. Available callbacks, in order of their execution: onOpen, onLoad, onComplete, onCleanup, onClosed These take place at the same time as the event hooks, but will be better suited than the hooks for targeting specific instances of ColorBox.
  • Ajax content is now immediately added to the DOM to be more compatible if that content contains script tags.
  • Focus is now returned to the calling element on closing.
  • Fixed a bug where maxHeight and maxWidth did not work for non-photo content.

  • Added $.fn.colorbox.resize() method to allow ColorBox to resize it's height if it's contents change.
  • Added scrollbars option to allow users to turn off scrollbars when using the resize() method.
  • Renamed the resize option to be less ambiguous. It's now scalePhotos.

  • If options is checked, Lightbox Plus will only lightbox images via class: cpModal attribute.
  • Using this method you can manually control which images are affected by Lightbox Plus by adding the cpModal class the image link URL and checking the Don't Auto-Lightbox Images option.
• Added option to not automatically add attributes required for Lightbox Plus to work. This allows for more manual image control.
• Added option not to display image titles.
