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:
. 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 theThe lightboxes add-ons should be installed in the system folder.
Documents\WYSIWYG Web Builder\system\lightbox\<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:...<lightboxname>
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)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
. Neither methods described above and this are working for me. You have talked about WWB and 3rd party extensions in themylightbox
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 theExtensions
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!Extension Manager
*****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!
