Images uploaded via X threads

[leefish]

Hi, I have a fairly image intensive site (I make 3d models to use in the Sims2 and Sims3 PC games and offer them for free download on my site) and so I like to have a lot of pictures in my threads so my users can see what they are getting.

As sims is a real girls game I have mostly female members on my forum - and so the site needs to look pretty and no taking them off the site for new windows as they appear to get lost and confused when that happens...

I use the lightbox plug in at the moment and that works great on MYBB attachments, but I cant work out how to get the number/name out of the x threads attachments.

I had a look at how the lightbox plug in works and it does a preg_replace to find the aid number.

Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

function lightbox2($page) { global $mybb,$db; if(THIS_SCRIPT=="showthread.php") { $result=$db->simple_select("threads","fid","tid='".intval($mybb->input["tid"])."'",array("limit"=>1)); $thread=$db->fetch_array($result); $permissions=forum_permissions($thread["fid"]); if(!empty($thread)&&$permissions["candlattachments"]==1) { $page=str_replace("</head>",'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.$mybb->settings["bburl"].'/themes/lightbox.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="'.$mybb->settings["bburl"].'/jscripts/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="'.$mybb->settings["bburl"].'/jscripts/lightbox/lightbox.js"></script> </head>',$page); $page=preg_replace('/\<a href="attachment.php\?aid=([0-9]+)" target="_blank"\>\<img/Usi','<a href="attachment.php?aid=$1" rel="lightbox[tid'.intval($mybb->input["tid"]).']"><img',$page); return $page; } } }

So I thought, hmm, maybe I can swap the code from x-threads images into that preg_replace bit (Im a noob ). So I had a look at the image names on my xthreads images and I'm stumped. I'm using RateU's excellent Product Review set up. I have a link like below for the url:

Code:

and a link like below for the thumb

Code:

So I guess I need to get the thumb and replace it with the number in the url, but I dont see how the images are identified like in that light box code. The numbers are consistent - they begin at 1 and go up to 30 (so far), I'm not sure what all the gobbledegook numbers after the first two digits are. I saw in the x threads that there is a magic number field but I don't really get what that is for either. I have tried all kinds of javascript andjQuery scripts, but I either can't get them to work or they look ugly (see above requirement to look pretty).

So, at the end of a very long rambling thread, can anyone help me to get a lightbox effect using x threads attachments?
