Psssst: Chinese (Traditional) is technically “zh-Hant”, but most browsers (ie Safari) report it as “zh-tw” (“Chinese as spoken in Taiwan”). If you are doing matching in the string, you’ll find it with just tw or ‘-tw’. Slightly off-standard anyway.

Hi, I love your GM script but somehow it does not work properly with Flickr. When I click on a picture Greased Lightbox opens correctly but I cannot close it anymore by clicking somewhere.

Firstly, thanks for creating Greased Lightbox. Lots of us users out here are appreciative of your script. Now a feature request: it appears as though Wikipedia disallows hotlinking of their images without a proper wikipedia referrer. This prevents greased lightbox from displaying wiki images unless they are linked from a wiki page. Could greased lightbox check the url before loading wiki images, so GL only appears when wiki images are linked from wiki pages.
As an example, here’s a wiki image. Also try clicking on the image at the top of the wiki page.

I found out that it has something to do with NoScript. I have to allow the site to close Greased Lightbox.

@Nightwolf: Great detective work. It’s good to know that the NoScript Firefox extension doesn’t get along very well with Greased Lightbox.
@Spartas: Thanks for pointing that out. I will look into fixing this.

Any possibility this could be made compatible with the image toolbar extension?
This is a great script but I’ve gone back to using Lightboxer, eventhough I don’t think its as good, as image toolbar is key for me. I’m sure there are others out there who would like to use image toolbar with this script!

@IRBaboon: Thanks for the suggestion. I’m currently not familiar with the image toolbar extension, but I will certainly look into it.

I love this script, but I have a question. I seem to remember seeing something about how you could use a key-combo to avoid opening an image via Greased Lightbox (for example, you know you need to get right to the image), but I can’t find any reference to it now. Am I imagining things, or was there a key combo that bypassed the Greased Lightbox at times?

@Marty: On a PC, you can hold down Ctrl+Shift and click to bypass Greased Lightbox. I think you can also do that on a Mac, but I don’t know what the key combination would be off the top of my head (it should be something+shift, so just play around if you are on a Mac). I hope that helps!

Thanks – that helps a ton. I love this script, but there are times when I really need to NOT have it work normally.

First of all, thank you for this great Greasemonkey script. It’s realy awsome!
I’ve made a Swedish translation for the next version of Greased Lightbox:
// swedish
sv : [
{
loading : 'Laddar bild',
loadingSub : 'Klicka för att avbryta',
context : 'Visa originalbild',
error : 'Bild inte tillgänglig',
next : 'Nästa bild (höger piltangent)',
previous : 'Föregående bild (vänster piltangent)',
magnify : 'Förstora bild (+-tangent)',
shrink : 'Förminska bild (--tangent)',
update : 'Ny uppdatering tillgänglig',
slideshow : 'Starta/stoppa bildspel'
}
], // end swedish

I too am having issues using this with Facebook, it works great in Firefox with Facebook, but I just switched to Opera and I’m trying to get it work with the FB and nothing seems to work, it works fine pretty much everywhere else, but no FB

Greased Lightbox’s download page reports that it works with GreaseKit. I haven’t been able to get it to work with Safari at all. If you have any pointers I’d appreciate it.

// wikipedia (needs to come before 'show')
{
name : 'wikipedia',
includeRegExp : /^http(s)?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wikipedia.org/i,
linkRegExp : /(.*?)\/(Ima(t?)ge(m|n?)|Immagine|Bild(e?)|Grafika|Afbeelding|Figura|Kuva|Magod|Billede):(.*)\.(jp(e?)g|gif|png|svg)$/i,
findImageRegExp : /(.*?)\/thumb\/(.*?)\.(jp(e?)g|gif|png)$/i,
replaceString : '$1/$2.$3',
showFunction : function(event) { greasedLightbox.showFrom(event, 'wikipedia'); return false; }
}, // end wikipedia
This works with non english wikipedia pages since in some localized wikis the word Image is translated.
eg:
EN – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:xxxxxxxx.xxx
IT – http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immagine:xxxxxxxx.xxx
DE – http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:xxxxxxxx.xxx

For some strange reason, Lightbox doesn’t work on deviantArt’s gallery pages.

I was able to fix the compatibility problem with NoScript (as mentioned by Nightwolf) by removing the timer that hides the lightbox.
old code:
halt : function() {
greasedLightbox.slideShow('stop');
setTimeout(greasedLightbox.hide, 700);
},
new code becomes:
halt : function() {
greasedLightbox.slideShow('stop');
greasedLightbox.hide();
},
