Use Customizr's Lightbox for Gallery?

  • Hi,

    Thanks very much for this awesome theme! I’m brand new to this, but I’m having a fun time creating my site with your theme!

    Quick question with regard to my website (www.alvaree.com)

    I love the lightbox for viewing images incorporated in this theme. It works really well with my images on certain pages (for example on the “store” page). You click on the image and it pops out into a “lightbox” with arrows that allow you to navigate to the next image on the page. It also displays pretty well on mobile phones. It’s perfect.

    However, on the Gallery page, it’s not working for some reason. I’m not sure what could be the problem. I click on the image and it opens in a new window, but I wish that clicking on it would open it in Customizr’s “lightbox” like it does on my other pages. Any idea how to fix this?

    Thanks for the help and let me know if you have any suggestions for the website! ??

    Hi,
    This is gonna be included in the next release (in a couple of days) of the theme. You will be prompted for update in your WordPress admin.
    Thanks for using the Customizr and regards!

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for the update! I see with the new version of Customizr this was updated! However I’m still having a problem getting it to work correctly on my website (see earlier post for my website’s URL).

    First, I made sure I have the box checked “enable lightbox effect on images” in the Customizr control panel. Now when I edit the gallery, two different things happen depending on the option I select in the gallery options:

    1. If I choose “Link to: Attachment Page”

    • Clicking on the thumbnail opens a different page with the image on it and a description.
    • Clicking on the image now will open the popout fancygallery
    • Now the fancygallery has arrows so I can navigate to the next image — this, I believe, is the new feature / what was updated.

    2. If I choose “Link to: Media File” however (currently selected, see for yourself what happens)

    • It continues to open the image in a new window
    • No fancybox pops up with navigation arrows (this is what I was hoping for, however it still seems to be broken here)

    Basically I want to go with the second option, skipping the attachment page altogether, and instead just opening the lightbox immediately from the original page by clicking on the thumbnails of the gallery, like what happens on other pages on the website if you click on an image. Any way to adjust this?

    Thanks again!

    As of now, the lightbox navigation works only with the firs option (link to attachment page).
    For the second option, this needs to be included.
    The next release will include that.
    Best regards (and many thanks for your great review ?? )

    OK.
    The update should come next week.
    Nice website by the way : would you accept that I include your site in a show case for Customizr best designs?

    Cool, look forward to it!

    And wow – that would be an honor! Now to get everything working (including a functional store)… Thanks for considering us for that! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

    Thanks,
