Forum:New lightbox for photos and videos

Hi, Recently, as part of improving the viewing experience of both photos and videos, we a developed new lightbox for wikia. It is now live on a handful of wikis, and we would like to start rolling out the new version of the lightbox to more wikis, including Yugioh. You might be wondering, what is new in this version? Improvements include:
 * View all types of media (photos and videos) the same lightbox across your wiki (please note that videos that are embedded at width of 320px or larger will play in place on your article and will not launch the lightbox)
 * Continuous viewing - when viewing an item in the lightbox, you can advance through all other photos and videos from the article page
 * Share - you can now easily share out to multiple social media sites and by email right from the lightbox In the new share, the share URLs will share context by sending your friend to the original article page from which you shared with the lightbox loaded with the shared photo or video and all other photos available on the article page loaded into the carousel.
 * Better viewing experience - the lightbox is now larger and displays the maximum possible size of the photos so you can see your media in its best form.

You can see the lightbox in action on Diablo wiki and the Assassin's creed wiki.

Please let me know if this wiki is ok with being in the next group to receive the new lightbox, as well as any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks, --Sarah (help forum | blog) 21:07, June 12, 2012 (UTC)

I dunno. It sounds interesting (with the exception of the video bit since we don't use those). Could you give a more detailed example of what was done on the two mentioned wikis? I don't visit those wiki so I'm ignorant to the changes that were made.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 01:24, June 13, 2012 (UTC)

Uh..You mean this Assassin Creed Wiki? The one you linked to has no "lightbox". - White Flash - (Talk) - 04:27, June 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't like the new lightbox imo. The current one here is fine as it's simple and not full of stuff that's not needed. --Speysider Talk Page 11:59, June 13, 2012 (UTC)
