Hi

is there a way that users can't close an open lightbox with a click on the transparent area of the lightbox and only can use the controls inside of the box?

Hello Peter,

Unfortunately this is not possible.

Thanks for your reply and ouch :-(

Could this maybe be achieved with the Advanced Layer Popup extension?

Yes, this can be achieved using advanced layer popup.

Hi Teodor

I tried to achieve this with the Advanced Layer Popup but it behaves the same like the lightbox - as soon as i click on the overlay area, then the popup closes.

Do I have to tweak it somewhere or did i miss out on something ?

Please provide a link to your page.

Hi Teodor

thanks for your reply but unfortunately its on an intranet so I cant send you a link.

Now the good news, I got it working by tweaking the following scripts a bit:

dmxlig.htbox.js line 45: closeOnOverlayClick:!1,(was 0)

default.js; closeOnOverlayClick:false, (was true)

Maybe it would be nice as a feature for future releases if this settings could be set via the edit options of the lightbox, as it could be quite usefull imho

Thank You Peter!

But it's easier to just reply NO! isn't it.
