flickr images in a lightbox

25th March '08 no comments

last night i spent some time making a plugin for wordpress, basically it uses the jquery lightbox plugin and adds extra functionality to it by detecting flickr images, and making them work in a lightbox automatically. this means i dont need to specify rel=”lightbox” on the actual link, and i also don’t need to specify the image to display in the lightbox, as the javascript works out the image to load (from the thumbnail being displayed).

my plan is to release the plugin, but first im going to make some adjustments so it doesnt need the jquery lightbox plugin (as the code i’ve used has been modified)

expect a release within a few days
