[TYPO3-dam] New extension "damlightbox" - sounds interessting?

Tue Mar 25 13:48:42 CET 2008

Hi Torsten,

thank you for your reply.

Your reply already solved my first problem:
I uninstalled most other extensions and the problem of the missing 
header data is solved. So possibly some other extension causes the problem.

Regarding the second problem, that in place where the image should be 
there is only a white field I could not find a solution now. The html of 
the lightbox is empty between the <body>-tag.

So the error must be somewhere before the image is processed?

greetings

Ron
