Multiple Lightboxes on Single Page — not working

invisionstudios — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 21:10:38 +0000

I’m trying to set up multiple lightboxes on one page. The first lightbox is a video popup and works great. The second lightbox is an image… when I click on the image, the full size image displays but not in a lightbox. The browser actually navigates to and displays the fullsize image. To get back to the page with the lightboxes, I have to go back.

See the page here: http://www.allergyatlanta.com/about-us/meet-our-staff/rabinowitz/

Each of the lightboxes is assigned a unique class, in this case “video-1” and “folio-1″

[image class=”video-1″ src=”http://www.allergyatlanta.com/image.jpg” link=”true” href=”//www.youtube.com/embed/JA19GBhmT0s?rel=0″ lightbox_video=”true”]
[lightbox selector=”.video-1″]

[image class=”folio-1″ src=”http://www.allergyatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/paul-rabinowitz-good-day-atlanta-cropped-4.jpg” link=”true” lightbox_thumb=”http://www.allergyatlanta.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/paul-rabinowitz-good-day-atlanta-thumb.jpg”%5D
[lightbox thumbnails=”true” selector=”.folio-1″]

So my initial goal is to get the lightbox to pop up correctly for the image.

What I would really like to do is to display a slideshow or gallery in the lightbox from a single image thumbnail click (I don’t really want to have multiple images in the sidebar). I’m perfectly happy building a Revo slider but that seems like overkill.

Wordpress 4.2.3, X-theme 4.0.5 (with a child theme). X-shortcodes is installed but not active, since the page is built with Cornerstone.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! It seems your shortcode is working fine but your image locations are not correct.

That means you have no image on those locations :

Please upload your image and provide correct path to the shortcode. That will solve the issue.

Thanks

If the URLs for the images were wrong, the links wouldn’t work in your post. LOL
And the image wouldn’t display at all — I would get a blank popup with a broken image link.

I’m thinking this is a plugin conflict of some kind — something interfering with the javascript for the gallery popup. I’m going to test on another non-live install.

In the meantime, if you have other insight into this issue, definitely let me know.

Hi There,

Thanks for updating! Maybe you didn’t get it. The image paths are extracted from code but apparently the images does not exist on those paths, it returns 404 page –

This is how I can see it on your page –

This is if we navigate through the image link –

And I am actually getting blank pop-up with broken image link. If you can see those anyhow, there might be some permission issue on your file/directory. Let’s check those images and if you can see those.

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks

I forgot I’m using a CDN for images. I’ll check the page when logged out and see if I get the same error as you.

Hmmm just tested it in a different browser (Safari) vs. Chrome and it seems to be working correctly.

Looks like that part is resolved. On to question #2:
Is there a method to have just a single image in the sidebar click to open a gallery?

I could create a slideshow but I really don’t want to, if there is a simple way to do it. I’m very familiar with WP but I haven’t used the [gallery] shortcode much.

If this is not an appropriate question for this forum, I understand. Just trying to save time 🙂

Just confirmed that everything is working properly in Chrome, but NOT when I’m logged in. No biggie.

Regarding your second question, you may refer to this thread:https://community.theme.co//forums/topic/use-a-single-image-to-open-a-lightbox-gallery-of-multiple-images/
