Hello,

Newbie here, I want to be able to click a text link to show a fancybox gallery of pictures, I try to do it via events but the slideshow wont pop up,

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

In order to help you need to post a link to your site or to your project file so others can see what you have done.

There is no option Fancybox to trigger via a text link.
But it can be triggered via an image if you use the slideshow.

1. If you want an image to appear on a lighbox "ONE IMAGE" in a light box when text is clicked that's possible.

2. If you want pictures of many to do slideshow on click of a text then that is also possible using a special technique but it will never be mobile responsive.

1st one:
Pick a text go to select the text you want to hyperlink then Link to External Web Address. Then on url paste the url of the image you want to see. Then just below there is something called Targer window or frame go to targets select open in a light box.

Wallah! An image appears when text is clicked!

2nd one:
Pick a text go to select the text you want to hyperlink then go to events then on event give onclick show layer1 (in the layer there is a Carousel and on the corner there is a crisscross X shape the cross shape has event on click hide layer one). The layer setting sticky layer orientation middle center and Delay is "0". This will be responsive in Desktop but not in mobile devices you may have to hide it using break points.

Wallah! A non responsive layer containing a carousel appears when text is clicked!

Here is what it looks like non responsive on mobile but looks fine in desktop no matter the size, but works like a dream:
