It’s a Facebox plugin for WordPress 2.5, which means Facebox-style lightboxes for linked images and gallery items automagically!

hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
regards
Awesome. Thanks! :D
doesnt seem to be working. Im on 2.6, maybe its conflicting with another plugin.
Thanks for letting me know, Trisha. I suspected 2.6 would break it, but I haven’t had time to fiddle with it recently. I’ll make some time soon and get it updated!
Awesome plugin! Is there a way to load flash in a lightbox? I am able to load an external html file, but the flash pieces are not showing up. Any tricks to get it working, or is it even possible with this lightbox? Again awesome plugin!
I guess there is not a way? Can you recommend another plug-in that does?

Thanks for your kind feedback :) (apologies for the late reply)
I don’t believe Facebox itself is really meant for the level of machination including flash involves. It’s pretty “dumb”, as far as that goes. I’ve looked at a few other lightboxes, and one of the more “heavyweight” varieties probably supports flash, but I’m not aware of WP plugins for them.
Thanks for your feedback…I’ll look into it further.

WP-Facebox - lightbox stile Facebook…

I am using wordpress 2.6 and installed this plugin, it is not working. Have I made a mistake or does the plugin not work in 2.6?
thanks
Hi Tim, As far as I know, it does work on 2.6.2, and probably 2.7 as well. I’ll have to check it on a vanilla install of 2.7, as it’s been awhile since I’ve played with it.
Hey, I really love this plugin… However, there seems to be some kind of conflict when this plugin is activated along with ANY syntax highlighting plugin for wordpress.
I’ve downloaded and tried every single syntax highlighting plugin I can find, and everytime I activate them… Facebox dies.
It doesn’t kill the page or anything, it simply quits working and all of the links open as they normally would have before the installation of facebox.
Have you got any idea what could be causing this? I really love the plugin, and I like the look and speed of facebox much more than lightbox, thickbox, or shadowbox… So I would love to be able to continue using it, but syntax highlighting is a MUST on my site as I write CSS tutorials.
Thanks in advance!
My hunch is that both plugins are hooking the same filter, ‘the_content’. I’ll have to look at a syntax plugin to see if that’s the case.
I was able to figure it out…
I really couldn’t tell you exactly what I did to fix it, but I can tell you how I fixed it.
In wp-facebox.php, I changed the following line from this: ‘autofilter’ => 1,
To this: ‘autofilter’ => 0,
[…] WP Facebook […]
[…] WP Facebox: display your Facebook images using Facebox. […]
Hi. I am wondering about displaying captions in the Facebox modal window. I want to have the title, or caption of each image be displayed in the lower left corner of the Facebox window. Is there a way to do this? Also, I would like a way to, while displaying the caption in the expanded window, have the caption (or alt text) be omitted from the thumbnail. Presently, the caption (or alt text) is displayed under each thumbnail, and then not when the window is loaded. I would like it to be the other way around.. Any ways to do this? Anyone? Thanks in advance,

As I’ve noted before, Facebox is a very lightweight solution. It does not do a lot, by design. There are several other lightboxes out there that do.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to hack on this plugin. You’re free to fork it on Github and improve it yourself, if you like.
Hi, Very nice Plugin.
Do you have plans for a version that works on WP 2.7? As another user noted, it doesn’t seem to work above version 2.5, I have the same problem.
Thanks
Regrettably, I don’t have a lot of time anymore for personal projects. The code is up on Github, forkable by anyone. I’ll do what I can, if a wild hair strikes, but I can’t promise anything specific.
Cool, thanks for your hard work.
This plugin in is useful, thank you
