Changes: NoImageLightbox

Revision as of 23:25, 20 April 2013

This script/stylesheet is for PERSONAL use only!

You are free to install this script/stylesheet for yourself, but it is not allowed to be used wiki-wide (e.g., in MediaWiki:ImportJS, MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Common.css, MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.js or MediaWiki:Fandomdesktop.css), as it would violate Fandom's Terms of Use.
(See the customization policy)

The NoImageLightbox script disables Wikia's Lightbox loader in the Oasis skin so that clicking on an image takes you to its File: page, as is the default functionality of the Monobook skin.

Videos use the same lightbox loader, but default expected behavior for this script is that videos should not be affected and should continue to play normally on content pages.

To go to the File: page of a video, right-click on the video and choose the Open link in new tab option instead.

Installation

See also: Help:JavaScript and CSS Cheatsheet

To install this script, place the following code in your global.js on Community Central, or in another user JavaScript file of your choice.

// http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/NoImageLightbox
importScriptPage('NoImageLightbox/code.js', 'dev');

Configuration

As of 20 April 2013, this script includes an option to completely disable the lightbox for videos as well as images. To enable this option, set window.NoImageLightbox.novideo to the value true during installation, like so:

window.NoImageLightbox = { novideo: true };

importScriptPage('NoImageLightbox/code.js', 'dev');

Note: Config options must go above the import statement.

-Admins: this is a user script for personal use only, do not install it wiki-wide for all users. The Image Lightbox is something that Wikia considers a critical part of the user interface. ''Any'' attempt to disable it wiki-wide is considered a [[w:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]] violation.
