Lightbox is a small JavaScript library that is used to display large images on top of the current page. It is easy to install and works in all modern browsers.

The script allows you to display images both single and with switching inside the pop-up window.

Instructions for use.

PART I: Connecting the library.

1. Download and unpack the archive with the script from here

2. In the JS folder, find the files jquery-1.10.2.min.js and lightbox-2.6.min.js and copy them to the folder with your scripts on your site.

3. Connect these scripts to your page by writing between the tags the following lines:

4. In the css folder, find the lightbox.css file and copy it to the folder with your style files.

5. Connect this file to your page by writing between the tags the following lines:

6. From the img folder, copy to your server into the folder with the images of your site's design following files: and next.png. These files are used in the style file lightbox.css. By default, the style file refers to images that are located in the img folder, which has the same parent as the css folder. If your images folder and styles folder are in completely different different folders, then you should change the paths to the pictures in the lightbox.css file to the appropriate ones.

PART II: Inserting pictures on the page.

This script is triggered by clicking on a link. The link can be either text or an image. In order to tell the script which link it should process, you need to add the link attribute data-lightbox and give it any value.

Single pictures.

Link text 1 Link text 2 Link text 3

* The title attribute can be filled in as desired. If it is full, then its contents will be displayed under the pop-up image.

Group of pictures.

Let's say you have a group of images and when you click on one of the links, you want a pop-up window to scroll through all the images in this group without having to close the pop-up window.

Link text 1 Link text 2 Link text 3

*You used to use the rel="lightbox" attribute for the LiteBox script. You can still use it now and it will work, but using the new attributes is preferable as it gives you more options.

Everything seems to be done, everything should work, but:

If we form a group of pictures from images, then when viewing in a pop-up window, under the pictures it is indicated image 1 of 8? I would like to see something like this "image 1 of 8".

To do this, in the lightbox-2.6.min.js file, on line 13, you need to replace this:

return "Image" + b + "of" + c

return "Image " +b +" of " +c

return "Image " + b + " of " + c

return "Image " +b +" from " +c

The last time I used this script, I needed to use it in conjunction with a carousel script, so I noticed one glitch.

Below is a description of the glitch and how to fix it.

If we have 2 different groups of images on the page, and for example, in the first group, the pictures have captions (the title attribute is filled in), and in the second group, the title attribute has empty values ​​​​or is not registered at all, then when viewing pictures without a description (previously we viewed at least one picture with a description), we will still display the description of the last viewed picture. That is, the script refuses to clear the title for the pop-up window, it replaces it with a new one, if any. How to fix it?

To fix the error of not clearing the Title attribute, replace the text in the lightbox-2.6.min.js file on line 219:

if (typeof this.album.title !== "undefined" amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; this.album.title !== "") ( this.$lightbox.find(".lb-caption ").html(this.album.title).fadeIn("fast") )

if (typeof this . album [ this . currentImageIndex ] . title ! =="undefined" & amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; & amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; amp ; this . album [ this . currentImageIndex ] . title ! =="" ) ( this . $ lightbox . find (".lb-caption" ) . html (this .album [ this .currentImageIndex ] .title ) .fadeIn("fast" ) )

In this article, I reviewed 14 WordPress Lightbox effect plugins tested for the Lightbox effect on a WordPress site. Lightbox is an effect for a photo, in which the display of a photo on a web page is carried out in a modal window when you click on the photo.

In the modal window, the photo is enlarged to the size of the original. At the same time, another part of the page (the background) fades out, "the screen turns off". This gives site visitors the opportunity to take a closer look at the image without leaving the page. For the Lightbox effect on the WordPress site, JavaScript libraries are used: jQuery, MooTools.
