How to theme Lightbox

I need to theme my lightbox. I can see the HTML generated by the JavaScript code in lightbox.js, but I cannot overwrite that file, or I will lose my changes when I update the module. Is there any better way to override a theme output?

Solution

  • You didn't report for which Drupal version you are interested; the answer I am giving is valid for Drupal 6, but few things would change for Drupal 7.

    Lightbox2 uses a template file for its output. If you create a custom module that implements hook_theme_registry_alter() to use a different template file, then you can use a template file that uses a JavaScript file you wrote.
