Slimbox Integration

[Konstantakos]

Seems like all the mambots out there for slimbox, lightbox, etc. conflict with Joomlart Templates because of the Java Script. Can you make a template and integrate Slimbox Image Gallery into the template? The gallery I am talking about is like this http://demo.joomlaworks.org/content/view/14/32/ or like this http://demo.rockettheme.com/apr07/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=37
If you could that wold be great because all of my clients love this type of photo gallery. Especially property developers in Florida. Thanks

I think JA is right to get away as far as possible from 3rd party mambots, you cannot design a template that will accommodate every single major component/mambot there is, JA are taking the view I believe they will make their own versions of many popular mambots etc
Keeping testing, quality control and compatibility with JA templates

Buy the showcase extension when the extensions club opens for business teh showcase is in use at the JA showcase page here (http://www.joomlart.com/showcase.html)

If you want a decent real estate site use open realty ( in standalone mode) and pay 25 US for one of their templates it has a built in slideshow etc etc why spend hours playing with mambots etc

I have a site under development using it here (http://goodproperties.com.au/i)

The client hasn't done any updating etc so it is only basic till he adds stuff
Hope this gives food for thought

Hi Konstantakos,

Most of the conflicts with slimbox, thickbox, lightbox and others are caused by conflicts between mootools and moo.fx. When you use this 2 libraries together at 1 page you have a big chance to get a conflict.

On my website I use ZoomGallery as photo-album. The pictures are shown in lightbox without any problem in my Xenia-template and in my JA-Utahia II-template.

Regards,

Peter.

I'm using this (http://www.oscandy.com/joomla/22-smoothgallery-lightbox-joomla-mambot) on my web site with uthaiaII and works fine and it's very fine!
