Disabling of lightbox ought to be an option

    I was about to download this plugin, until I read the statement “Javascript is also in place to attempt to remove any lightbox functionality on the custom link and allow it to function as a regular link.”

    Judging by the screenshot, I assume there is no option to toggle this function?

    It defeats the purpose of what I have intended to do, which is to create a video gallery from image thumbnails, where the thumbs link to separate videos that will be loaded directly into a lightbox.

    Just want to add that I’ve had a look at your plugin now, and I’m pleased to have found that my desired “toggle” was as simple as removing the javascript file. ??

    Now I just need the perfect lightbox, which has the same appearance as WP jQuery Lightbox, but also supports a wider range of media content, so that I can view videos directly from the video gallery on my website.

    So close; so close…

    This has kind of been in the back of my mind as something to add in the future, I just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet. Glad you figured out a workaround (sort of) in the meantime!

    I added this as an option in the new version 1.4.0, let me know if you have any questions/problems. Thanks!

    I really like this plugin and it’s solved a bunch of problems for me but I’m struggling with the integration / usage with a lightbox plugin. It would be great if there was a way that the Gallery Link On Click Effect could be set to Keep as a default rather than Remove – I’m applying a new theme to my website which has many many images and I’m looking at having to set this format for every single image ….

    Is there a way I could do this?

    Thanks

    Try using the “preserve_click_events” attribute on your gallery shortcode:

    [gallery preserve_click_events="true"]

    It should override the setting for each individual image and keep Lightbox effects on each item in the gallery.

    The plugin has my link opening a lightbox in WP 3.5.1 and then redirecting. If I click “back” it won’t go back to my site, it redirects back to the custom link.

    If I “open in new window” my site in the original window gives me an error inside a lightbox.

    Don’t think the new functionality is working.

    Can you post a link to your gallery?

    It looks like your prettyphoto javascript may be running after the wp gallery custom links javascript. This may cause the lightbox effect to be applied after the wp gallery custom links script attempts to remove it.

    Try moving your prettyphoto script above the wp gallery custom links script (you may need to add prettyphoto as a dependency to make sure wp gallery custom links runs after it).

    That makes sense. I’ll see if that works.
