The style you are using, at least for guests, darkfx, is rubbish. It doesn't seem to have any template events included. Therefore, the code from this extension isn't being called where necessary.

You would experience similar problems with most other extensions.

Find a better style.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find many good styles for phpBB. Is there a good repository for them?

DarkFX is pretty bad, I've had to do quite a bit of modifications to get it working. But, it's the only dark theme I've found that would look decent at all. The forums are only part of my site - the forum theme has to match the MediaWiki and WordPress themes. I'd like to have Lightbox, but if it means going with prosilver or something, then I'll have to go without.

Thanks for the help!

Here's a link to my forum (a page with both img tags and image attachments):
http://mythosmc.com/f/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2&p=12

The 1px setting is intentional. I want every image the user clicks (well, every posted image and image attachment) to appear in Lightbox so that they see how it works more quickly. I tried other sizes as well, though, and they don't work.

I tried clearing my cache, tried changing settings, nothing works. The images simply don't resize.

That style you are using is missing everything needed to make this extension (and probably others as well) work.

Yes it does. http://forum.mattfriedman.me/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1587
You have other problems you'll need to investigate and figure out and report what's wrong. Or show a link.

Newest version (1.0.0-RC1) is working perfect here for me using this style ( viewtopic.php?f=476&t=2322466 ) as well as Prosilver.

Im sure this has been asked but any plans to get this to work board wide with images? Say with like Pages extension ( viewtopic.php?f=536&t=2270066 )

It works on any image in the board if it has the "postimage" class.

It already works with the Pages extension just fine too: http://forum.mattfriedman.me/page/lightbox

I wonder does phpbb gallery use postimage class? It does not seem to work with that.

although... I do think that phpbb gallery is completely different in how it operates.

Well would you look at that. It does work. Sweet! Thank you much.

Think the reason it didnt before was I didnt have an image size set in the ACP when I checked it. Had a moment. lol

Does this work for attachments?

Yes.

I've got Create thumbnail turned on. I'm having a feeling that that is why attachments are not showing up in a lightbox?

Thumbnailed attachments work just fine, but only if they are bigger than the lightbox setting. If they're smaller they will be ignored.

And of course since thumbnails are made at the time of posting, so old posts with thumbs created at a setting even smaller than the current thumbnail or lightbox size will be ignored too.

I always say for best results, set the Lightbox and attachment thumbnail sizes to the same value.

I made a test here:

it works.
Do you have an idea why it does not in my forum?
Only with this picture there is a problem!

Thanks for the answer Matt but i don't have the knowledge to find out what is happening.
I delete 1.0.0-RC1 and installed again 1.0.0-b4 version...and is working like a charm.
I don't know what I could say
