Hey team,
I am using the content area modal as a sort of lightbox for some videos on my site. I am using the content area modal because the video is held within a shortcode that displays the content on a schedule.
You can see it all function here:
If you choose a Play Video button you will see the lightbox open and a video will display, but only if it meets the scheduler’s criteria.
So, the question I have is about how the c.a.m. functions. Since it is button activated, I am using an anchor. But, when it closes the url remains …org/#
This is a problem because a user may want to re-open the c.a.m. after closing it. Since the url is already pointing to the anchor, the c.a.m. won’t re-open until another button is pressed or the screen is refreshed.
Can I
- have a way that closing the c.a.m. changes the url without refreshing the page
- have shortcode for a classic player lightbox or similar solution? I don’t want to use embed so that we can keep people on our site instead of youtube.
Thanks for your help
I just needed to replace the modal toggle with text. Glad I recognized that before you had to tell me.
