***SOLVED***Lightbox Extensions not Manifesting

Post by scribeman01 »

Gentlemen, I'm restarting this discussion as I am more knowledgeable than I was a month ago.
I cannot make my lightbox extensions "Filmstrip," "lc_Lightbox," "Lightbox," "Lightslider," "wwb_lightcase," show as drop-down options for "Page" (Miscellaneous) or if I drag a "Photo Gallery" or "Slide Show Gallery" layout from the Toolbox and "Light Box Gallery is selected. The ones that appear are: "fancybox," "galleria," "magnificpopup," "prettyPhoto," & "Slimbox." (Note: I installed these successfully in a previous project but it was so riddled with my mistakes & learning curve - so started over.) Pablo, in our previous discussion, you directed me to https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/lightboxes.html which I have gone thru multiple times. Here are my concerns: 1) This instruction is a little vague:
The lightboxes add-ons should be installed in the system folder.
Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\<lightboxname>
. 1) This is a little vague. Not in all cases is the "lightbox" folder itself installed in the system folder. That was done. What's confusing is what you mean with the
...<lightboxname>
Do I have to create another folder for EACH add-on type OR is the FOLDER that is manifested from the Zip extraction is what you're referring to? Either way, I'm not getting it to show - after closing, re-opening the program & project file. Or perhaps, you referring to this further down in your discussion about "Adding other third party lightboxes (for advanced users)." The instructions say:
WYSIWYG Web Buider already has support for the many popular third party lightbox scripts, but if you have found one that is not supported yet, then you can add it yourself.

lightbox add-ons are stored in Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox
To add a new lightbox, create a new folder, for example Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\mylightbox
Now I'm realizing that "Filmstrip," "lc_Lightbox," "Lightbox," "Lightslider," "wwb_lightcase," are all 3rd party scripts and perhaps they should all be stored under an additional lightbox folder (perhaps called)
mylightbox
. Neither methods described above and this are working for me. You have talked about WWB and 3rd party extensions in the
Extensions
menu item on your web page, but still a person has to work very hard to connect the dots as to what is 3rd party and what isn't, let alone when to add an additional folder (or not) to facilitate this additional installation. In my case, I am NOT creating my own extensions - just how to get this done and the housekeeping. These clarifications would be helpful. In our previous discussion, you mentioned that you've made the installation of these "Carousel / Sliders" simple. I presume you're referring to the
Extension Manager
which is a excellent tool EXCEPT as you pointed out to me, the above Lightbox types are NOT extensions, yet the naive user (as I was) sees it as an extension download/install and not 100% how it's supposed to manifest - so I would suggest providing a link or reference to the instructions how to extract and install these particular 3rd party extensions. I can't find any other way to directly install these as you indicated in the set-up you simplified. Don't get me wrong - I think your instructions overall are most impressive and that you put a considerable amount of time into writing, illustrating & providing examples. What I'm referring to are scenarios as just shared where I'm having difficulty "connecting the dots." I uploaded the project page & a jpeg screenshot of folder regiment for the lightbox type extension files. Thanks!

*****Note, there has been some customization assistance from Mr. "Onlye" on "read more/read less" which I am working on and will share results - much appreciated to him! Not sure if there's any direct correlation to the "Lightbox" object issues. THANKS!

By light box name it means the folder name of the lightbox that you have downloaded from the free_extras page. WWB already as some built in lightboxes which do not need to be installed meaning it is already installed and ready to use. For 3rd party lightboxes if you are installing for example super_box then after downloading it needs to be installed and then in wwb's lightbox folder you will see a folder dedicated to it from which wwb will load automatically that lightbox modularly on the builder so you can use it. That is how 3rd party installable one's work. But the ones in free extras as pablo has instructed you unzip and put them on the lightbox folder. previously it had some kind of installer which extracted it to a specific folder but now as I have seen you have to do it a bit manually but still very easy to do.
Adding other third party lightboxes (for advanced users)
WYSIWYG Web Buider already has support for the many popular third party lightbox scripts, but if you have found one that is not supported yet, then you can add it yourself.

lightbox add-ons are stored in Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox
To add a new lightbox, create a new folder, for example Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\mylightbox

Place all script files in this folder.

Next, you will need to tell the software how to add the script to the page:
Create a configuration file lightbox.ini in the same folder. The content of the file should look something like this:

[copyrights]
// copyrights of the script
company=WYSIWYG Web Builder
// url of the website
url=http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com

[init]
// script to be place inside $(document).ready function
script=$('#$ID$').lightbox({ $SETTINGS$ });

// default settings of the script
settings=fx:'shuffle'

The following variables are available in the 'script' section:
$ID$, this will be replaced by the ID of the object
$WIDTH$, this will be replaced by the width of the object
$HEIGHT$, this will be replaced by the height of the object
$SETTINGS$, this will be replaced by the settings (either the default settings or the one configured by the user).

Please study lightbox.ini of the other lightboxes for more inspiration...
Note that different lightboxes have different way of configuring. So, it is not an easy task unless you have advanced knowledge on how to do it.

Which 3rd party lightbox are you trying to install?

Good morning Wwonderfull,

I'm just after these scripts: "Filmstrip," "lc_Lightbox," "Lightbox," "Lightslider," "wwb_lightcase," - not involved with any customizing but wasn't sure if these being 3rd party scripts if I had to make a separate folder for them. If I'm understanding correctly, then I had it correct the first time (but did not manifest). I download the Zip Files. After I created the "lightbox" directory in the system folder, that I unzip the downloaded files of the above lightbox types into that specific lightcase folder. When they're extracted there, they have their own folders with their files contained in each of them. When I was not able to get these to work, then I actually made an additional folder with their name that I attached to the lightcase folder which in itself sounds ridiculous, but I only did it only because something was keeping me from getting these item dropdowns to work in Page Properties, Picture Gallery or Slideshow. Onlye has generously been working with me on some code tweaking for the "Read More/Read Less" that you're also aware of and shared a sample, but can't think that any of that is causing a problem as he successfully made a beautiful pop-up modification I want to use that he said he utilized lightbox / lightcase for.the card layout in my card container. I will put this back let you know if this works again. I look forward to sharing the work on this when everything is done. Thank you again!

Not sure about Filmstrip or Lightslider as I have not tested yet which I soon will but I already tested lc_Lightbox and lightcase those are working 100%

just go to https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/free_extras.html

download lc_lightbox and lightcase and then go to my Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox
and not Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\lightbox

So, on that system lightbox folder you must create the folder called lc_lightbox and for lightcase. Inside the folders you must put the files which are found on the downloaded zip for those lightboxes and its done.

Thank you Wonderful!,

If you go to my link on Google Drive from my initial post, you will see both the WWB file and the jpeg file that has screenshots from the system/lightbox folders how they're installed and I believe adhere to what I'm supposed to do. Here it is . . .

First note that lightboxes are not extensions. They are third party scripts that can be used by Web Builder.

I think you are making this more difficult than it needs to be. All you will need to do it extract the files to a folder.

Step 1
Download the lightbox you want to use here:
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/free_extras.html

For example: wwb_lc_lightbox.zip

Step 2
Exact the zip file to the folder: Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\

You will end up with a folder
Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\lc_lightbox

This folder contains scripts and other files.

If this does not work then you have extracted the files to the wrong folder.

Also, note that Page Properties displays only a subset of the installed lightbox scripts, as some scripts are designed exclusively for images and cannot be used for links.

Thank you Pablo,

It appears that I'm missing the Documents Folder and that I may have mis-installed the program location. I have the screenshots of the way the files were extracted on the jpeg file on my Google Drive . . .

@Pablo

Step 2 does not work like this for me in Windows 11. The files are extracted to the root of the lightbox folder, not to a new folder within it. I have to create a folder for the files to be extracted to. Pretty sure that Windows used to behave differently, but this is what seems to be happening now. Just FYI.

Very interesting AliGW!

I actually use this program on 2 computers and work on the project file on my network. The laptop I'm typing this on is WIN11 and my PC downstairs in my work area is WIN10.

Thank you for your observations!

The Google drive link does not to work for me.

If you did not change the default settings of WYSIWYG Web Builder, then your document folder is here:

C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\

where <USERNAME> is your username

IMPORTANT:
If you did change the default settings, then please read this:

Thank You Pablo, I will peruse this information as certainly there has been some deviation. If there's any significance whether this done on a WIN 10 or 11 computer and/or if editing can be used on the common workproject folder in either computer - one with 10 and the other with 11.

It should not be this difficult.

Make sure to extract the files to the correct folder. This is the only reason it might not work.

The Documents folder is the one that Windows creates automatically (not any other Documents folder, such as the one in OneDrive).

Open the root of the C drive in Explorer amd then open the Users folder - one of the accounts you have will be your Windows installation account and will contain C:\Users\windows_account_user_name\Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox.

Within the lightbox folder, create a folder for each of the lightboxes you want to install.

Now go to Downloads and extract each of the ZIP folders in turn to the two folders you created in the step above.

Thank You Alex, I realize part of the problem is that I had multiple project locations on two separate hard drives. I have consolidated everything to be on the "C" Drive to exactly follow the instructed parameters from you & Pablo. Can I share screenshots here? Or, do I have to save them in a jpeg or PDF and load them to my Google Drive for you to see?

Re: Lightbox Extensions not Manifesting

This has nothing to do with the location of your projects.

There is only system folder which you define in Tools -> Options -> Files & Folders

The system folder is common to all project. It contains user data for the software , like extensions, templates, blocks, lightboxes etc.

For security reasons, you cannot upload files to this forum. But you can include links to another location.
If you need my help then I need to see the configuration of your system folder and the actual location.

So yes, I had multiple file locations and cleaned everything up to consolidate to the C: drive, as well as my project, system folder, etc. Still can't get the 3rd party Lightbox scripts to manifest and I am following your instructions (or so I think).

So here's what I uploaded regarding link above:

1) Sample project page which should also include Onlye's script modification assistance on the "Read More/Read Less" code adjustments.
2) PDF File - screenshots of the file installations in the System folder - including "lightbox" and the 3rd party scripts. I did a screenshot of the Default window also to confirm that these are correct with you also.
3) If there is an easier way for me to share screenshot images with you from my desktop??

There has to be some fundamental I am missing and it should not be difficult at all. But I did have to eliminate duplicate WWB installations on two different hard drives that was not a good idea. I think I was trying to save file space on my C drive and had put it on my 2 TB "D" drive. But really, WWB does not take up a lot of memory or resources to begin with. :-) THANK YOU so MUCH GENTLEMEN.

Thank you Ali and I apologize! I had some housecleaning to do here and should have everything according to you, wonderful & Pablo's suggestions but still not seeing the 3rd party scripts. I uploaded a PDF file with screenshots of the settings, as well as a sample page. If you can see my last post, I am more specific. Here is the link (which I hope works this time!) THANKS!

****Update****

1)I got lightcase to appear in my lightbox gallery drop-down for my laptop upstairs.
2) I installed 2 other add-ons - wwb_jqfancytransitions & lc_lightbox and they do not appear - both also in the lightbox system folder.
3) I may erroneously been installing certain ones from the Extension Manager and the Extension drop down at the top of the menu. Now, I'm understanding why Pablo has indicated I'm confusing Extensions from the "Free Download Lightbox addons" for the "Photo Gallery and Slide Show."

Once I installed wwb.lc-lightbox & wwb_lightcase to the lightbox folder in the Program Folder, now they BOTH APPEAR! I added a second PDF file to my Google Drive link for you to see those screenshots. I see them if I'm dragging a Photo Gallery object on to the canvas, but in my sample workbook file, they are not visible in the sample uploaded file. I can change the choice to "Open in Lightbox" but cannot select either of the 2 add-ons via the Page Properties as it asks me to do . . .

@wwonderfull that is the correct name if you download the file (.zip) you will see this (unless you hiding filename/extensions in Windows) So I think the issue lies due to the (files) on scribeman01 PC are set to hide the filename/extension from displaying which just shows as it is in the pdf.. This could explain all the confusion.

See the screenshot taken from my cell/mobile!

Re: Lightbox Extensions not Manifesting

Thank you Wonderful & BF. The extra "wwb_" was my mistake. When I wasn't sure if I had to make an extra directory attached to "lightbox", I inadvertently put that extra folder in when I was confused and everyone here got me on the path. Since then, I've reloaded it correctly without the dash and the folder w/jqfancytransitions no longer has that, yet I can't get it to show as a drop-down with photo-gallery or slideshow. Since I'm using this with Cards, it directs me to make the Gallery add-on type in Page Properties and that's not happening either. This is my Windows 11 computer. Downstairs in my Windows 10 computer(still in WWB19) there is a lightbox folder in the Windows Program folder that includes "Fancybox," "Galleria," etc. which are WWB lightbox add-ons and installed with the program. When I install Lightcase in the Windows Program File Lightbox folder, Lightcase did appear, but I was directed to install Lightcase in its page properties which it was not present to select. (FYI - there is no "lightbox" directory associated with the Program folder - just the "system folder" in Documents. In WWB19, there is a lightbox directory in both the Windows program folder and Documents System folder associated with WWB. Is any of this making any sense? I'm having trouble trying to keep this all straight!

As AliGW was mentioning early, she is correct with what I was experiencing in WIN 11 in vers. 19. I had to create the "lightbox" folder in the systems directory. On Windows 10, I believe this was also the case and that there is a "lightbox" folder also in the Windows Program folder in the 19 version, not the 20.

Pablo, I'm not understanding why my link is not working for you on my Google Drive. You will find a sample project page along with 2 PDF files that contain highliighted screenshots of the file configurations. I'm also been trying to detail here as much as possible what is shown in those files. BF got in and has some of it displayed in an earlier post for Wonderful.

I think there may be some confusing about the version you are using. My instructions are for version 20.
In version 19 you will need to place the lightbox scripts in the program files folder.

Note for this issue I do not need your project, because this is unrelated to the problem.

Re: Lightbox Extensions not Manifesting

Post by scribeman01 »

Problem is solved Pablo. Please refer to BF discussion about how the Lightcase not showing up in my drop downs. He nailed it. Yesterday, on my laptop (Windows 11), I re-added Lightcase in the documents/system/lightbox folder and its directory was "lightbox," NOT "wwb_lightcase" as the directory manifested on my Windows 10 PC. As soon as I eliminated the "wwb-" from the beginning of that file, now I see it exactly as I see it on my Win11 laptop. @AliGW alerted us in her 1/19/2025 post about having to to extract files to the root, and she had to create the lightbox folder for the files to be extracted to. I had to do the same. Then I was confused as to whether or not I had to create an additional lightbox I had to install. hen @BaconFries caught the problem with the "_wwb" problem. Now allow me to blow off a little steam. As I purchased this in late November, I was not privy to Ver. 20 launching soon after that. When you say that it can be confusing about the "Adding A Lightbox Gallery to your Website" was written for version 20 users (and I was still in 19), no WONDER I was having so much trouble!! It was not until I took a chance & added the add-ons in the Windows Program Files where "Fancy Box," "Galleria" etc. were installed. Once I moved the additional adds here (including "lightcase,") I was 90% and then re-reviewing @AliGW & @BaconFries about the "wwb-" directory issue. But the notion that "Adding a Lightbox" was written for Vers. 20 and that all Lightbox gallery add-ons are now installed exclusively in the systems/documents/lightbox folder (no more Program file installations) are now history from Vers. 19. On earlier occasions, you mentioned how I was confusing extensions and add-ons, yet why would "lightbox" add-ons be included in "Extension Manager" updates or in the Extensions "drop-down" in the web menu to install as extensions? In the Extension Manager, they were installing as extensions which I learned was incorrect vs. the proper way now? There are number of "lightbox" and "lightcase" variations between these Extension locations & the Download section for add-ons. Some are in Extension Manager, the Extension Drop-down on your webpage, and the downloads. Then I had to connect the dots to associate the descriptors of the add-ons in the downloads with the example ones you covered in "Adding A Lightbox Gallery to your Website." I can't tell you how much time (losing a week) that I was hyper-focused on getting these problems solved, yet I'm very grateful that you have a solid support system & I want to do my part to contribute as the journey continues here. There was PLENTY OF SLOP on my side with my learning curve - the buck stops here for that! Pablo, you have an excellent product, very REASONABLY PRICED and you & your staff have put a considerable amount of time continuously improving the product. I want to also express a special thanks to @onlye for his help in helping me customize cards for the "read more/read less" script. There's very good stuff here I think to enhance "Cards" which I like very much. For photo placement in the cards, I would recommend that a photo "proportion" code that when you increase/reduce a vertical or horizontal size image being place into the card, would eliminating having to get proportion variations in another program (ie Gimp, Photoshop). Onward and THANKS.
