Changing Ventrian Property Agent LightBox Buttons
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009 by Oracle9. Filed under DotNetNuke.A lot of Ventrian’s users missed the old look of the lightbox button where it used to be images and not the ugly text links like this:
The reason of the above ugliness is a result of localization enhancement. Well, compare to the lightbox used in other platforms like wordpress and joomla, majority of the people are adapted to the image version and the look above certainly will give a bad impression to your visitors….”it is site still under construction or something???”
The fix is actually simple. 
All you need to do is to change the language resource file. For you convenience, I’ve packed the buttons and the resx file. All you need to do download the file from the link below, unzip it and put the file accordingly:
Upload the 3 images to
/DesktopModules/PropertyAgent/Images/Lightbox/
and replace the “ViewProperty.ascx.resx” in
/DesktopModules/PropertyAgent/App_LocalResources

Note: If you have previously localized your property agent from DNN, be warned that directly replace the file from FTP will override your other previous changes. You may open the new .resx file using a notepad, scroll to bottom to look for the changes and copy it to the DNN Language editor.
Have fun!

MOst the day fooling around with lightbox and it doesnt seem there’s any consistency in the names of the image files and the filenames themselves. New to DNN framework and looking forward to resolving this. Im assuming there’s no fix to revert to the original look and feel.. And yes, clients assumed we hadnt finished.
It’s true. Especially when each modules comes with their own lightbox plugin.
It’s waste of resources and loading time. I’m looking forward to see DotNetNuke to have a standard lightbox plugin for module developers to adapt in future. Seeing the built in Jquery support in DNN5 is a good start.
Hi
I would like to download the files for changing the lightBox Buttons, but I don’t think the link is working?

Thank you for pointing this out. I accidentally removed the folders during last upgrade. You should be able to download it now.
