[Plugin: Shadowbox JS] Version 3.0.3.4 not working

    Pulling my hair out trying to the problem.

    Basically, shadow box will attempt to load (part of screen will go dark) but no image will load.

    I’ve tried it with multiple versions of shadowbox-js, different cache settings, multiple themes, local and remote images, confirmed header/footer.php settings… not sure what the problem is.

    at http://nuts.noetzel.net/

    the bottom horse image should activate using an external image

    the sig image activates using a locally stored imaged

    Based on the sig image, it looks like shadowbox is displaying behind the main theme, hiding the image display…any thoughts?

    More troubleshooting… this is a theme issue. Shadowbox works with default theme…can’t get it to work on a few other themes : Delicate, Atahualpa, Gear

    Same issue on both IE8 and Chrome

    …and found it.

    z-index on the themes was set to 1000 or so, higher than the shadowbox.css z-index. Pushed that one up to about 999999999999 … now it shows. Painful to hunt that one down…

    shadowbox-js/shadowbox/shadowbox.css

    #sb-container{position:fixed;margin:0;padding:0;top:0;left:0;z-index:9999999;text-align:left;visibility:hidden;display:none;}

    I think it should stay on top now….

    I changed it on my testblog blog.tgsoft-hro.de, but it doesn’t work.

    Do you have a solution idea?

    I replaced the version 3.0.3.4 with the old Shadowbox JS version 3.0.3.2 and it works again.

    What I must do that the newest Shadowbox JS version work?

    Thank you

    @tgsoft: You must:

    1) Try upgrading and then selecting to revert to the defaults.
    2) Let me know if you have any plugins that are being used to manage your images
    3) Try the development version at http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/shadowbox-js.zip
    4) Configure ‘Smart Loading’ to false.
    5) Leave the broken version in place until I can look at it to see if I can determine the problem

    In that order.

    @matt Thank you for your support:

    1) Done, no result.
    2) Yes, unfortunately the not more supported myGallery-plugin, because I use the same plugins also in a another blog with a lot pictures. I’ll it update after it works on my test blog.
    3) The development version is online.
    4) ‘Smart Loading’ is false.
    5) blog.tgsoft-hro.de

    Ok, pretty sure I figured it out. In 3.0.3.3 I added a CDATA block around the JS that goes into the footer. It is common, due to CDATA blocks being invalid JS, to comment them out. In this case I used // as the comment characters, you unfortunately, as well as others I am sure, are minifying your HTML content. This has the unintended side effect of causing all of the javascript in that block to get commented out, as it becomes a single line.

    I have just updated the development version, same link as previously mentioned, to use a comment block /* <![CDATA[ */ instead, so that the end of the comment is clearly defined and will not have any adverse effects when minified.

    Wait until this post is at least 30 minutes old and then download the development version, and give it a try. Let me know how it goes.

    By the way, what are you using to minify your HTML content?

    @matt THANK YOU very mutch. Now, I seems to work with the development version.

    What are I using to minify the HTML content? No idea. I think it is a function from the Atahualpa theme or could you mean the “wp-cache” plugin? Sorry, that I doesn’t know it exakt.

    @matt Yes, Atahualpha has a CSS compression included.

    I had the same problem, shadow box returned to work after installing the version posted in this topic, thank you very much!

    @madison91: if you would take the time to read through the previous posts you would have become aware that you need to upgrade to the development version. Download from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/shadowbox-js.zip

    3.0.3.4 contains updates for nextgen, 3.0.3.5 will have fixes for your theme, but you can get those fixes in the dev version now.
