Hi Paul,
I have tried using your TupUp which seems to work very well. However, I have tried using it with a CMS system where the images are being stored in an underlying database and exposed through a handler with the file extension of .ashx. For instance, suppose that I upload two files to my CMS system, Img1.jpg and Img1_thumb.jpg into a library called Lightbox, then to access these files from the root I would use the following:
Libraries/Lightbox/Img1.ashx
Libraries/Lightbox/Img1_thumb.ashx
Now this works as the images render nicely in the browser. However, when I use your plug-in library with the following:
<a href="Libraries/Lightbox/Img1.ashx"></a>
Instead of rendering the larger image (Img1.jpg) in the lightbox display area, it renders the raw bytes, i.e. non-printable characters. I have checked that the underlying MIME types (e.g. image/jpeg) are correct, and they are, the browser rending the images kind of backs this up too.
As attractive as the output is, it’s not really what I was expecting. Is it possible that the library is working with the file extension rather than the MIME types?
Cheers,
Kaine
P.S. – Below is an example of some of the data being rendered (I hope it comes out OK):
