Colorbox replaces Thickbox February 01st, 2010
Zenphoto used the jQuery Thickbox script as default “box” script for quite some time. Since Thickbox has been abandoned by its developer and the coming Zenphoto 1.2.9 will feature the brand new jQuery 1.4 Thickbox will be replaced by the Colorbox script.
So if you use a customized standard theme and included the Thickbox script as often told by us from zp-core/js you should now update your theme to either use the Thickbox from elsewhere or the new Colorbox. The standard themes — especially the Zenpage theme — have already been updated for tonight’s nightly build.
