I’ve used Advanced Custom Fields to add additional fields to images in the media folder. and then have lightbox pop up display that info.

For instance:
a custom URL that is displayed below the ‘description’ of the image.

In ACF, I’ve added the field. It shows up on the simple image page when clicking on the image so I know that works.

I saved layout.html as layout.php. I changed line 67 in class.themes.php to reference layout.php and tested it. it loads the correct template file. (I’ll go through the custom theming later…)

I added <?php the_field(‘my_field’); ?> in the spot I’d like it, but nothing shows up and, it seems, it tends to break the other info there. Where or how would I add this so that it displays with the image?

Thank you!

FWIW I’m using a fresh install of WordPress, Happy Files Media Folders, Advanced Custom Fields, and Simple Lightbox. There are no other plugins.

BTW I did look at this:
https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/issues/527

And this:
https://github.com/archetyped/simple-lightbox/wiki/Activation#manual-activation

But didn’t really understand how it pertained to this situation.

Hi, lightbox theme layouts are primarily processed by JavaScript, not PHP like the rest of WordPress. As such, lightbox themes have their own template tags.

The proposed ACF extension could also support template tags to display ACF-specific data in the lightbox. I would recommend adding feedback on functionality you would like to see to the extension proposal’s page to help ensure that it is not missed during development of the extension.

As a workaround, you can add the desired ACF data to the link’s attributes to be displayed in the lightbox. See SLB’s Metadata documentation for details on which attribute is the best fit for your needs.

Is there something in the Add-On github page that I should be able to use? I don’t see anything. I did see that someone commented that it was working but… I don’t really know where to go from there.

Hi, as noted in my previous reply, it is a proposal for an ACF extension. Extensions are prioritized based on demand, so voting on the proposal and adding any feedback/feature requests to the existing proposal is highly recommended.

Cool thank you.

I did something different for galleries but will probably use this anyways as a lightbox for other images.

Thank you!
