Clickable images ?

Post by mrix2000 »

Hello all, my forum is very image intensive and quite often its missed whereby members do not realise they can click a image to get the bigger size.
Is there anything that can be done to promote and make more members aware images are able to be clicked 8-)
Thanks for any feedback

Are those images thumbnails with a link to the original full-size image or are you using a lightbox extension? The solution would vary depending on that.

Anyways, you could just change the cursor when hovering images, like:

Code: Select all

.postimage:hover {
	cursor: zoom-in;
}
Some of my phpBB extensions:

Hello and thanks for the help, these are thumbnails when clicked show the full image.

You need to add it to CSS files, around line 276 of /styles/prosilver/theme/content.css you'll find this:

Code: Select all

.postbody img.postimage {
	max-width: 100%;
	-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
	-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
	box-sizing: border-box;
}
After add:

Code: Select all

.postbody img.postimage:hover {
	cursor: zoom-in;
}
You can add other effects like opacity. Instead:

Code: Select all

.postbody img.postimager:hover {
	cursor: zoom-in;
	opacity: 0.8;
}
After editing and uploading file clear the browser cache.
