Allow Right-Click > Save As?

Hi Ed,

On the actual gallery, or the images that appear in the lightbox? You should be able to right click on the ones in the lightbox and save the images.

The ones in the thumbnail gallery cannot be easily saved via a right click because they require an anchor tag to be wrapped around the image so the lightbox can launch.

Hi Andrew! I’m referring to the images that appear in the lightbox. I don’t get a “Save image as” option when I click on them. You can see, if you go to this page and scroll down to the “Gallery” section:

When you click on an a thumbnail and the image pops up, you can’t right click and save as.

That’s because they are links to click on the previous/next image. This is added via the PrettyPhoto light box script. If you don’t want to click the image and have it go to the next/previous image, you can turn if off via JS. I would start here:

The easiest/quickest solution would be to use CSS and hide the anchor links. Something like:

a.pp_next, a.pp_previous { display: none; }

Thanks Andrew! Gee, I’d hate to disable the next/previous image function. There’s a Lightbox clone called Floatbox that allows users to save images and also has the next/previous functionality. (Floatbox is not a WP Plugin, however.) As an example, you can click the Gallery button here: https://pressstart2.neonharbor.com/

Unfortunately I don’t know how it manages it…

You’re more than welcome to integrate your own lightbox if you’re a developer. All the hooks are there.

Thanks! Sadly I’m not a developer. BUT! I discovered that if I switch to using fancyBox rather than prettyPhoto, I get the functionality I need!

Glad to hear!
