Lightbox Plus version 2.0.1

I just released Lightbox Plus version 2.0.1. Didn’t even get a chance to post about version 2.0 before I did an update. This version includes a number of new features such as the ability to add a secondary lightbox that can include video or flash and inline lightboxes that allow the display of inline content. I also made some improvements to the admin panel on its way to a new interface. See the full list of changes from version 1.6.9.7 to version 2.0.1 after the jump.

2.0.1

• Fixed several interface issues in the admin panel.
  • User feedback was not reporting updates because admin scripts were not loading properly – this hs been fixed.

2.0

• Added secondary lightbox option
  • There is no auto-lightboxing for the secondary lightbox
  • Allows the creation of a secondary lightbox with iFrame capabilities
  • Allows lightboxing of video, flash, and content that resides elsewhere
• Added inline lightbox options
  • There is no auto-lightboxing for the inline lightbox
  • Can have multiple inline lightboxes (up to 20)
  • Can be used to display hidden inline content, forms and more…
• Improved interface in admin panel.
  • Added better feedback for users
• Added backend test/demo areas
  • Allows user to test lightbox settings in the admin panel
  • Provides demos and examples for secondary lightbox using video,external webpages and interactive flash
  • Provides demos and examples for inline lightbox using inline content
• Fixed issue with saving setting and changes not being reflected.
• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.8
  • Fixed a bug in Chrome where it would sometimes render photos at 0 by 0 width and height (behavior introduced in recent update to Chrome).
  • Fixed a bug where the onClosed callback would fire twice (only affected 1.3.7).
  • 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.
  • Added method for removing ColorBox from a document: $.colorbox.remove();
  • 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.
