Overlib and <IMAGE_NOTE_CLEAN>

[marcel1974]

Hey guys,

I an using the overlib javascript library. I read some posts about this subject, but I can't solve the problem I have.

This is the code I am using in the template:

<a onmouseover="return overlib('<IMAGE_TITLE>','<IMAGE_NOTES_CLEAN>');" onmouseout="return nd();" href="index.php?showimage=<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID>"><img id="photo" src="images/<IMAGE_NAME>"/></a>

The adress of the page is: www.amvanleeuwen.nl

The image notes however do not appear on a mouseover.

Can somebody tell me what I am doning wrong?

Thx,
marcel

Error: unterminated string literal

GeoS, could you please explain what this error means en what I have to do to solve this?

I appreciate your support.

Marcel,
In plain English the "unterminated string literal," error means that you have a pair of quotes that don't match.

Looking at the documentation I found this:

onmouseover="return overlib('Clicking here does nothing!', CAPTION, 'Insert witty caption here...');" onmouseout="return nd();"


So please change your mouse over statement to:

onmouseover="return overlib('<IMAGE_TITLE>', CAPTION, '<IMAGE_NOTES_CLEAN>');"


Hope this helps.

Found a solution: I replaced the code:

$image_notes = markdown(pullout($row['body']));

in the index.php file
by:

$image_notes = pullout($row['body']));

Now the overlib javascript functions correctly.

Allthough I don't understand the differency, I am happy that it functions.

See you next time!

It is in general not a good idea to change something in the core code of Pixelpost. This will haunt you when you update the code and you have to figure out why things are going wrong.

Markdown is a text-to-HTML filter; it translates an easy-to-read /
easy-to-write structured text format into HTML.

Have you tried my solution or didn't that work?

Markdown was a small mistake and oryginaly has got some bug with additional <p> tag at the beginning of text :/

I did try your solution, but it didn't work. Maybe there's a better solution but for the time being it works for me.

I had the same problems like marcel1974 and I changed the index.php, too. I erase the line 248 in index.php $image_notes = markdown($image_notes);
and now the overlib js works.

[GeoS]

Probably starting from next version this (markdown) can be a option (if it still would be there).

[Marek]

My alternative is not using overlib anymore I´m using boxover (http://boxover.swazz.org/) now.

And there are more such solutions like:
