AiBloggerBox: Version 2: Setup (now BrightBox!)

Since the way Version 2 works has changed a little, I thought I'd post the new setup instructions:

Go to the <head> section of your blogger template and add:
<script type="text/javascript" src="PATH_TO_AiBloggerBox_JS_FILE"></script>

That's all :)

Here is a demo:






Click these and let AiBloggerBox kick in and show you what it can do!

    The 'Close' button is a bit awkward with that greeny text.
    And, how about series of images with -previous and -next image?

    Another suggestion, can the image be zoom in as the script now only resize the image, and that should also provide the option to make it original size to benefit from the bigger resolution

    I tested it with this link by blogger: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_Tu1PM4BJ6Zw/She0gimGtzI/AAAAAAAAAqs/znNuzwLd9Hs/s1600-h/image%5B2%5D.png

    Not working at all

    Hey Open door,

    @Comment1:
    I'll look into making the -previous and -next buttons. Since one of BrightBox's goals is to have no HTML edits, it would be hard to set image groups. I guess the previous and next buttons can cycle through the images in a post? What do you think?

    @Comment2:
    About the resizing, the image is now resized so that the entire image fits the screen. In higher resolutions, if the entire image would fit the screen, the image should not be resized smaller. If it does, it's a bug. Can you give me a link for the blog with the image? I'll take a look.

    Or do you mean expanding the image to bigger than its original size to fit the screen? If so, yea, that can be done.

    @Comment3:
    I tested out the last image over here BrightBox test site. Seems to work. One thing - the page has to be loaded completely for the script to work. May be you're clicking the image before the page has finished loading? Give me a link to the blog with the problem as well, I'll take a look

    Thanks for the suggestions and bug reporting. It's a lot of help :)

    Cheers,
    aishwar

    1. Yes, it would be a great idea to cycle.

    2. Fitting the screen is a great feature but it loses the detail of the image which requires to view in full size. So can you add an option to view image in full original size: [FIT | ORIGINAL]

    3. I tested it here: http://movieloo.blogspot.com/
    I am using both LightBox and yours - BrightBox, the first image will enable lightbox. BrightBox is only working with blogspot.com images, but not with ggpht.com.

    I also tested with only BrightBox, but the problem is that ggpht.com images generated by blogger.com will not work.

    Woo, I just tested the image at link you provided, it seems to work even with ggpht.com. I don't know why this happens at my side :(

    PS: I am using your script from: BrightBox_v2.0_compressed.zip
