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

  • 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

  • User feedback was not reporting updates because admin scripts were not loading properly – this hs been fixed.

  • 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.

1.7

• Updated ColorBox to verion 1.3.7
  • $.colorbox can now be used for direct calls and accessing public methods. Example: $.colorbox.close();

  • Fixed a bug where iframed URLs would be truncated if they contained an unencoded apostrophe.

  • 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.
  • Direct calls no longer need 'open:true', it is assumed. Example: $.fn.colorbox({html:"<p>Hi</p>"});
  • Changed $.fn.colorbox.element() to return a jQuery object rather the DOM element.
  • jQuery.colorbox-min.js is compressed with Google’s Closure Compiler rather than YUI Compressor.
  • Added 'innerWidth' and 'innerHeight' options to allow people to easily set the size dimensions for ColorBox, without having to anticipate the size of the borders and buttons.
  • Renamed 'scrollbars' option to 'scrolling' to be in keeping with the existing HTML attribute. The option now also applies to iframes.
  • Bug fix: In Safari, positioning occassionally incorrect when using ’100%’ dimensions.
  • Bug fix: In IE6, the background overlay is briefly not full size when first viewing.
  • Bug fix: In Firefox, opening ColorBox causes a split second shift with a small minority of webpage layouts.

  • Added `scrollbars` option to allow users to turn off scrollbars when using the `resize()` method.
