Image Thumbnail BBCode

Image Thumbnail BBCode for phpBB3 is meant for admins only. I use it for reviews of products.
You need to have 2 images: An ordinary image and a thumbnail.
When You click on the thumbnail, the ordinary image pops up centered.
Also there is a link version available. [thumbscript][/thumbscript]

How to do the modifications:
1. Download all files from here, except the CSS:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/thumbnail.htm
2. Upload the thumbnailviewer.js and loading.gif to your forum folder
3.Make these changes in colours.css(prosilver) and stylesheet.css(subsilver2) - Just add following code at the bottom:

Code: Select all

#thumbBox{ /*Outermost DIV for thumbnail viewer*/
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: auto;
padding: 7px;
padding-bottom: 0;
background: #151515; 
visibility: hidden;
z-index: 10;
cursor: pointer;
}

#thumbBox .footerbar{ /*Footer DIV of thumbbox that contains "close" link */
font: bold 16px Tahoma;
letter-spacing: 5px;
line-height: 1.1em;
color: white;
padding: 5px 0;
text-align: right;
}


#thumbBox #thumbImage{ /*DIV within thumbbox that holds the enlarged image */
background-color: #151515;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
}

#thumbLoading{ /*DIV for showing "loading" status while thumbbox is being generated*/
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #EFEFEF;
padding: 5px;
z-index: 5;
}

4. Add these lines at the last line in overall_header - both Subsilver2 and Prosilver styles:

Code: Select all

<script src="thumbnailviewer.js" type="text/javascript">
/***********************************************
