Demo for extension "RTE Lightbox"

Since TYPO3 Version 4.2 you have the possibility to “click-enlarge” the images you insert in the WYSIWYG editor (rtehtmlarea aka RTE) in TYPO3 Backend. The problem is, that these images aren't opened in a lightbox (even if you have an extension installed), they are opened in a popup.

First of all, that's slow and second there's no fallback if your visitor hasn't javascript enabled. This extension enables lightboxes for images, inserted in RTE. Of course, you can choose your preferred lightbox: It supports all known lightbox-extensions like wsclicklightbox, pmkslimbox, jq_fancybox, jquery_thickbox, jq_lightbox, perfectlightbox, kj_imagelightbox2, ju_multibox, pmkshadowbox, perfectlightboxjquery, slimbox, jquerylightbox, ...

Support for “unknown” lightbox extensions can be easily implemented by one line of TypoScript.

Demo

These images are inserted via the RTE / WYSIWYG-editor of TYPO3. Click on it and they will open in a lightbox. This lightbox seems like the standard lightbox you know from other images, but if you have a look into the source-code, you will see the difference.

  ... and one more... ... ...

The last image hasn't "click-enlarge" enabled, so there's no lightbox.
