Hi,

I’ve been trying to make a very simple thing on a slide created in Revolution slider – add an image which opens a video in lightbox (without leaving the page).
So far, after studying almost all tutorials / forum posts I couldn’t find info how exactly to do this in X. Simple image with a link to video works fine, just as a simple video layer – but I’d like to have lightbox effect for my video.

Thanks in advance,
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for posting in.

We already tried this using lightbox shortcode inside a slide but did not work. This is because Revolution slider dynamically create layers/slide’s clone to create loop.

Lightbox shortcode generate extra javascript code to for lightbox instance and these gets duplicated inside the rev. slider. Cloned object does not have lightbox attachment, so it will only work on first slide of same clone. This could be done in custom development but we can’t provide any support.

Even if you succeed, you will still get lightbox duplicates grouped by same element selector ( cloned ).

Thanks.

Hi there,

Regretfully, we cannot really provide support for third party plugin as we simply don’t know how it works and how the script works. You can contact the plugin author for assistant of what you’re trying to accomplish.

Thanks for understanding.

have a great day

Sure, I understand this. But regardless of that plugin – if I was to use a separate image in Revolution Slider to which I’d like to add ‘mouse-hover’ effect (defined as: when I hover a mouse over it, the image changes its look/some effect takes place etc) – is there a way you could advice me to do it?

Thanks.

Hi There,

You can assign a class for specific layer under “Layer Links & Advance Params” and use that class to apply any effect either CSS or javasript for that layer on mouse over,

css

.your-layer-class:hover {

/** EFFECT STYLE **/

}

js

(function($){ 
	$('.your-class-here').on('mouseover', function () {

 	//stuff to style  on mouseover

	});
})(jQuery)

Hope that helps

Thanks very much for your advice!

There was apparently even easier solution – Revolution Slider has ‘Edit style” menu with additional “Idle” and “Hover” settings – it does everything one could possibly want. Could be a good solution for other X users wanting the same functionality.

One more thing – any advice on Mailchimp integration for a Revolution Slider? Any plugins you’d recommend using to style the sign up form without a lot of manual work?

Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for sharing that 🙂

Not sure with slider and mailchimp. But I guess that is still possible with 3rd party plugin. Though raw code may not work if it contains javascript along with it. You may contact a developer that more familiar with mailchip and slider. We only bundled revolution slider with X, and our knowledge is limited to its basic usage.

Thanks for understanding.
