# Lightbox-Like Plugin?

 * I love [the function of] the Lightbox plugin. However, I can never get it to 
   work properly. I.e. currently on my site:
 * [http://www.pesosforpenguins.com](http://www.pesosforpenguins.com)
 * I have it “activated,” but when I click an image, it just takes me to another
   page with the image, not the Java powered popup.
 * However, on my photo arhcives page (with the Flickr plugin for my album that 
   combines the Lightbox functionality) it works perfectly. I didn’t code anything
   into the other page, it just works with the Flickr plugin.
 * What do I need to code into my page, to make sure that the lightbox thing works?
 * I’ve tried the dev site, but received no answer.
 * Thanks for any suggestions!

 * Depends which plugin, there are a few lightbox plugins out there… My issues seemed
   to always boil down to the plugin not finding itself. I would have to put my 
   own path in to the plugin file, replacing whatever ‘dynamic’ method they butchered
   err used to find itself.

 * perhaps you have another java script loading on your main page, preventing lightbox
   java code to run properly?

 * I thought about conflicting JS, but narrowed it away from that when it didn’t
   even try to load the JS (in the plugin) but just went straight to the “other 
   page.”
 * I’ve never been able to get this plugin to work, but I love its functionality.
   I am just not good with coding, or finding out what is causing my issue

 * What it seems like is that i have to add some attribute to every photo that I
   upload.
 * WTF?
 * Am I the only one who feels that I shouldn’t need to do this for it to work? 
   Or, is there a plugin out there that doesn’t need this to work?
 * EDIT: THIS ATTRIBUTE IS NOT NEEDED FOR MY VERSION OF THE PLUGIN. What it seems
   like is that it just cannot “find” the plugin itself, I am not the only one pulling
   his hair out on this. 🙂

 * Yea… I realized that it “cannot find” the plugin… Then that reverts back to me
   not knowing how to code, then me trying to code, then me breaking my blog. Lol…
 * I’m still trying to find a solution…
