Grid, Overlay Panel & Lightbox

  • Hi,

    My Gallery page has a grid container with 12 images (every single image is linked with its own media id). I added an Overlay Panel (with 48 images, including those 12 from a page) and a Condition.

    In the recent past, when I clicked on any of those 12 images, Lightbox plugin opened, showing all 48 images from Overlay Panel, one by one.

    I realised now, Lightbox is not showing all 48 images from Overlay Panel anymore, but only those 12 from page. Could you help me sort it out, please?

    thanks,
    Tibor

  • Hi there.

    Correct me if I am wrong but as far as I can see you are using a lightbox plugin to open those images and not an overlay panel in which case you would have to consult with the plugin developer. If you are using a condition, how did you set it up?

  • Hi George,

    Yes, correct, I use lightbox plugin. Not sure how it was set up (with or without a condition), but to my surprise, it was somehow working;) Let me know if it makes more sense to have access to my site so you can see the current setup.
    Anyway, is there a way NOT to use a lightbox plugin at all and use GB overlay panel + carousel only? So let’s say I will have 12 static images on a page, and if any of those images are clicked, then an overlay panel with a carousel will open all 48 images?

    thanks

  • Ok, try and temporarily disable the lightbox plugin and see of the previous functionality has been reverted.

    Let me know how it goes!

  • I disabled the lightbox plugin, cleared cache. Not working at all now.

  • Ok, so there is no connection with any GB overlay panels (you can enable the plugin if you want so that your gallery is functional). What exactly are you after? A popup overlay that loads the images like the current lightbox does with arrows left and right? That would look a bit funny because with each image clicked, the user would expect to see the related image in the overlay, instead the first image of a very long carousel would be visible initially. Are you sure this is what you want?

  • Been playing with it today on my local site. I think I won’t need a lightbox plugin at all.
    I will add 6 static, unclickable images to the grid container and will add a button below the container. Button will open a pop-up overlay, which will look like a lightbox with arrows, a close X button, and all 48 images.
    Does it make sense;) ?

  • Yes, that makes sense and you can totally do that.

    This video (from 8:12) shows how to add a close button for the overlay panel:
