Hi Friends,
I have a question about creating a Zentools2 gallery, where the images appear without captions in a grid, as desired by artist, but he wants the title, and other info, like size and year, to be included in the lightbox when you click on the grid image. Is there a way to do this? I was trying to avoid having to create a separate article for each piece, not only for my own sanity but for his if he wants to add works later himself. I didn't see any information under your Lighbox section in your Zentools2 documentation, and if you have documentation on setting what gets displayed in the lightbox, I'd love to see it. Barring that, if you can point me in a direction where I can find my solution, much appreciated! Thanks.
Lightbox in Zentools2 for art gallery
Well, I had hoped to use that little green edit icon in the content section of each image. But that only works with captions on the "gallery" view, not the lighbox view. I had thought that the long way around was to create an article for each and every one of the images, but that is so cumbersome, and I can't get them to display in a lightbox, only in the main content section, which right now is located below my grid5 placement of galleries and not acceptable. I want a lightbox with the content, but would really love to do the same with the lightbox as I can do with the captions option. I created an alternate Recent Works 2 module below the library source module, and have reset it from lightbox to content, and it draws from the category articles. I'm beginning to think there is no getting from here to there. Would love to make it work though. It would be cool.
Hi,
In the module settings > Item Layout > you can drap & drop the text of article you want to show like this: http://prntscr.com/nmo0mq
Is that what you're trying to achieve?
Thanks, I know how to get content to show in the grid or caption settings for what appears in the columns of images, now set to 4 across. What I'd like is for information not to show there, and instead show in the lightbox. I gather the lightbox setting will only grab the image. I now know that it isn't possible, and I appreciate your help in making that determination. The lightbox is limited to the image only, no extras. We will live without it, and perhaps someday the lightbox will be able to do this.
This is what I wanted, but I don't think it's possible - smaller gallery image displays clean without text, but the lightbox has info.
