The third party templates need to be updated to using the new lightbox

How exactly can this be accomplished?

Does this mean that when creating a custom template, one needs to copy "initialize.php" as well (what other files/folders?) to his/her new template folder?xillibit wrote: You need to replace this, in /components/com_kunena/template/yourtemplate/initialize.php :
Code:CKunenaTools::addScript( KUNENA_DIRECTURL . 'js/slimbox/slimbox-min.js' );
by this :
Code:// We load mediaxboxadvanced library CKunenaTools::addStyleSheet ( KUNENA_DIRECTURL . 'js/mediaboxadvanced/css/mediaboxAdv.css'); CKunenaTools::addScript( KUNENA_DIRECTURL . 'js/mediaboxadvanced/js/mediaboxAdv.js' );

Yes, each template needs its own initialize.php file. This is explained in How to create a template for Kunenaetkritikonspoudon wrote: Does this mean that when creating a custom template, one needs to copy "initialize.php" as well (what other files/folders?) to his/her new template folder?

Thank you very much for your answer...
I need to point out, though, that there is no single document explaining fully what files and folders one needs to copy from the default template in order to build a customized one based on it...and the ones that do are not exactly correct it seems
I have asked this question on a specific thread , but I have got no answer...please somebody reply what exactly files and folders need to be copied from the default template folder in order to build a custom one...(would rather you did it on the thread linked to here, if possible)
One article suggested copying the contents of the "example" template, but that is not enough, plus, the new default template has more options than the example one...I got errors on my host's Error Log, pointing to the "/media" folder, so I copied it too
Right now I have the following copied from Blue Eagle (default) template's folder :
Folders:
/css
/images
/language
/media
Files:
index.html
params.ini
template.xml
and it seems I also need to copy the "initialize.php" file as well...but after taking a look at its contents, it seems like I need to copy the "/js" folder as well?
Is the answer the easy one, that is, I must copy ALL files and folders from the default template folder to the the custom's one??
Thank you very much for your support...

I wish I could say more than "I agree" but that's all that I can really say.
The information about how to create a custom Kunena template is a little disjointed and not as nicely organised as I would like to see it. I estimate that it would take me about two whole days of my time to reorganise this information but it's really a matter of spending two whole days working on writing, grabbing pictures, and (as we would probably agree) it's not really very enjoyable.
The fact is that is that designing and building a template for Kunena is not all that difficult but it takes time to learn how to do it properly. There are quite a few people who have figured out what they need to do (and some of them are even making money from selling their own designs) so it's not impossible. I suppose what would be good would be if those who have solved this would contribute their ideas to the Wiki and then we'd all reap the benefits.
I think we're a little way off-topic from a subject that started with "I'm having issues with Lightbox displaying images in the forum" to "How do I build my own template". Wouldn't you agree?

Yes, I agree that we are a little bit off topic, that's why I suggest again that answers on this be made to this threadsozzled wrote:

I must point out though I am not at all looking for an all-in-one article on template customization...
What interests me urgently, for the well functioning of my forum, is what files folders I need to copy from the default template folder...that is all...
If issues come about, we could discuss them little by little...
So my question is do I need to copy any more folders and files to my new template apart from the following ones which are already there?
Folders:
/css
/images
/language
/media
Files:
index.html
initialize.php
params.ini
template.xml
The "/js", the "/plugin" folders, maybe?
The "login.php", the "forumjump.php" files?
Once more, thanks a lot for your continued support
