I'm attempting to incorporate Lightbox 2 ( http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ ) into a MyBB forum. You can see the forum at http://homeundone.com/
Its working now, any post with an attached photo will open up in Lightbox. The problem is that it doesn't work properly in Firefox because I had to butcher the code a little.
The problem is that like MyBB, Lightbox 2 utilizes the Prototype framework. When both versions of the javascript (Lightbox's full and MyBB shortened) are included they cause a conflict that messes with the editing tools in the newpost/editpost pages.
My solution was to include the MyBB version in the header as usual, and load the Lightbox version right in the postbit_thumnails_thumnail template. This works awesome in IE and Safari, but is visually off in Firefox. I suppose this has something to do with the javascript not being loaded in the head, or a conflict of some sort, but I'm lost.
Is there anything I can do to make this work? It looks awesome.
