Lightbox Not Working

  • Hello!

    I love the Foogallery plugin–when it works! It usually works well on desktop, but then fails (not always, but mostly) on mobile and tablet.

    Here are the most vexing issues:

    On desktop, mobile and tablet, the lightbox usually works, but many times when I click on an image, instead of launching the lightbox, it just clicks into the image. Here’s an example.

    Sometimes, the lightbox does work, but one of the images will not load. I hit refresh a bunch of times unsuccessfully, then finally, it might appear again. Here’s another foogallery example:

    I’ve attached a screengrab in case that’s helpful.

    Please help! Love the gallery, but need something that works more consistently.

    Thanks,
    Jinhi

    Sorry, I thought I could attach a screengrab, but am not finding that option. Basically, the error message states: “Could Not Load The Item”

    hi there

    We had a look at your page and found the issue.

    You are using a “minifier” plugin to remove whitespace from the javascript in your pages. But the minifier doesn’t remove comments before stripping whitespace, so you end up with this:

    FooBox.ready(function() { //preload the foobox font jQuery("body").append(

    The comment basically cuts the script and everything else that could potentially follow it out of the page, so you get a javascript error which stops foobox from working.

    I am going to remove the comments from the javascript in the next release which should sort out your issue. I will let you know when that is available

    Thank you so much for figuring out the problem!

    Is there anything I can do in the short term to fix the problem–that is, until your next release is available?

    Thanks again,
    Jinhi
