doesn't work with live.com

i prefer live.com image search engine and would love to see it supported.

Same problem as georgie here: showing image unavailable on top of the image, but I can navigate to the next and previous images with the arrow keys without problems (they're just partly hidden under the error popup). This happens on a Flickr set page.

Feature request (for Google Images): Clicking "View image in its original context" should send you to the original page but without the top Google frame.

Edit: Also this script sometimes doesnt work. It says image unavailable but if I click "View image in its original context" then I can find the image.

Go get Greased Lightbox 0.17! http://shiftingpixel.com/lightbox/

If you want to view images in a slideshow, try the Firefox extension PicLens: http://www.piclens.com.

A great script thats only limitation is that the slideshow only works on images currently on the same page.

In Facebook, is it possible to incorporate the ability to view all images in an album or group and slideshow through all of them?

Scripts do exist to show all images in an album but it appears this script is incompatible when used in conjunction. In Facebook the lightbox does not display when viewing the page with all images on one page. My guess is the 'view all' script alters elements on the page that this script needs to work.

Any chance of a adding this feature to an already great script?

I'm also getting "Image Unavailable" on top of some images on Firefox 3 beta 5. It doesn't happen all the time though.
As a workaround until this is fixed, you can make the error message unobtrusive by commenting out this line: greasedLightbox.center(objError); and giving greasedLightboxError an opacity of 0.1 .

The following occurs using Windows XP SP2, Firefox 3.0 Beta 3, Greasemonkey 0.7.20080121.0 & Greased Lightbox 0.16:

After clicking an image to view it in a lightbox, clicking GL's next button loads the next image on the page but shows the "Image Unavailable" dialog on top of it.

 
chorer User

ok thank you

@ ndall (again!)

I can't seem to reproduce your problem. If I click 'view image in its original context' it takes me to the google page with an iframe at the tom (showing a scaled down version of the image)

Did you copy / paste the whole address I entered in my last message (inc. the last =*)

It should be.. (if this works)
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=*

Is there any possibility that when I ctrl+click on a pic it do not use grasebox, to go directly to the original link?

 
stojshic Scriptwright

As much as I saw, this isn't working for DeviantArt, at least not on the browse images window:( but except that, it's great script...

 
Jinjo Scriptwright

Amazing script, thanks!

 
ndall User

Thanks Patrick for deciphering my sleepy message! Your solution half works - except now if you view image search results with greased lightbox, and then click "view image in orginal context", you are taken to http://images.google.com/imghp the google.com image search home page.

 
Patrick Robe... User

@ ndall

I think I know what you're talking about, try adding:
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=*

to the 'excluded pages' (right click the greasemonkey icon > manage user scripts > highlight 'greased lightbox' and click add in the excluded box.

 
ndall User

How do I disable on the top google frame you when you click through on an image on image search?

 
NotStyle User

nice one =]

 
Yochanan User

Go get Greased Lightbox 0.15!

Neither this one nor RSS Panel have ever even come close to doing anything with creammonkey on Safari (by comparison, the Flickr Link original works great with creammonkey).

Am I missing something? I only know what greased lightbox does from using firefox. I agree it's a great script. has anyone really gotten it working on Safari?

I'm not blocking pop-ups, if that helps.

 
Saibot Scriptwright

I installed googleimageautopager and now Greased Lightbox only works 50% of the time (at best). Anyone else experienced this? Anyone hacked a fix?

 
netster007x User

Excellent script. Works perfectly. Keyboard shortcuts. Looks great. Universal -works on most every site (yet to find one where it doesn't).

 
Yosaif User

sweet...thx

 
Luke Terheyden User

I added a little hack to disable image resizing:

Adeline Ström User

and oh, is it possible to insert something in the script so that it's at least possible to view the images normally? Like Ctrl-klicking on the image or something, then it opens as it should be opened? Because it's kinda annoying when an image is unavailable to this script.
