You are not right... with v3 you can use for non-commercial sites without any licence fee.
With v4 you cannot even use this way. This is a little bit tricky, and we had same issue with MyBB FancyBox plugin which I maintain.
Fancybox v5 (Lightbox and Galleries)
- Edited
Eldenroot You misunderstood me, that's already stated in the license section both in the README and in the post here, what I meant is that in previous versions the user was also responsible for purchasing a license when their site went from being non-commercial to commercial, it's not something that I as the maintainer of the extension can take responsibility for, nor can I control beyond indicating it.
For that very reason the official packages are released without any restrictions and the users have the ethical responsibility to follow the license guidelines.
As also specified the Fancybox UI components (v4) can be used for free during the development or staging of your project, after that you must purchase a license, I don't think there is anything tricky about it, it's quite clear.
Hari Excluding reactions was very simple just a CSS selector related to fof/reactions, but for GIFs it is much more complex as you have to detect the file extension (.gif) and the truth is that even that would not be enough... I mean what do we do with gifs in .webp format? that format is mainly used for images, so it is impossible to differentiate gifs from images with that format, after considering it and trying it once without success, I think it is something that is currently out of my reach if it is even possible especially for the webp part.

Is this extension ready to use? And how to install it?
Thank you
artificialflow yes readi first post to see instalation command
https://discuss.flarum.org/d/29102-fancybox
You need to install by running SSH commands
Hari I don't understand the part with Cross-compatibility and Fancyapps(what license do I need?)
- Edited
artificialflow Cross compatibility means that it is compatible with the mentioned extensions enabled at the same time without causing problems or combining their features, regarding the license there are two, the one for the extension which is the implementation of the software (MIT, nothing to worry about) and another one for Fancybox, the software itself, managed by fancyapps.
You can install the extension to test it and see if it fits your requirements as mentioned here (https://fancyapps.com/pricing/), after that you should buy a fancybox license and keep it personally (there is no special installation or place to put the license, it just gives you the right to use it if you are claimed at some point).
Darkle Got it. thank you so much.

Dear Sir,
I am currently using:
https://github.com/malago86/flarum-ext-fancybox
The only reason is that it uses thumbnails when the article page loads
I think this is very helpful for the readability of the article, especially on mobile phones, it is very concise.
Imgur
I've tried several versions of your Fancybox and it seems to be showing the original photo size on the article.
I don't quite understand what is the difference between these codes
In your version, is there any way to make the original article show thumbnails by default?
This would be perfect for me.
ps, sorry for my bad english ^^

This extension picks up all the images from the given post and uses the fancy box to display a slider gallery with small thumbs at the bottom.
I don't understand why it behaves like this. It's a fancybox extension, not a slider gallery extension.
There's another extension that works correctly: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/19535-fancybox-extension-beta
It isn't updated in a really long time. I hope this extension gets updated to only display the clicked image, instead of showing a gallery of all the images.
heyitsritesh It's not something particular to this extension, modern versions of fancybox work like this by default, but if you don't want the slider to appear it's something you can hide, the extension you're pointing to uses an older version of fancybox so I guess that's why it doesn't appear.
