    I have a template generating a loop that includes links which open into a lightbox. I switched to this simple-lightbox due to it’s capability of displaying descriptions on the lightbox. This works great on my wordpress gallery, however, I can’t seem to figure out how to trigger the lightbox within a template through the typical, standard, rel=”group” tag. Can you advise? I even purchased your video upgrade thinking it would work and it doesn’t.

    Hi, SLB provides more robust media support (e.g. displaying descriptions from the media library) and thus does not use the rel attribute. If Please post the loop you are using so I can get a better idea of what you’re trying to do.

    Also, if you’re experiencing an issue with the video add-on beta, you can request support from the Video add-on’s beta page for your issue.

    Hi there – I’m essentially just trying to trigger the lightbox from my href, see the link to vimeo below:

    <?php
    $videoID = get_field('video_id');
    $jsonurl = 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/'.$videoID.'.json';
    $json = file_get_contents($jsonurl,0,null,null);
    $json_output = json_decode($json,true);
    echo '<a href="http://vimeo.com/'.$videoID.'" rel=”lightbox-n”><img src="'. $json_output[0]['thumbnail_large'] .'" /></a>';
    ?>

    in the previous lightbox plugin I was using, all I needed is the rel=”group-name” but it doesn’t seem to be that simple with this. Any advice?

    Simple! Just replace your echo statement with the following:

    echo slb_activate('<a href="http://vimeo.com/'.$videoID.'"><img src="'. $json_output[0]['thumbnail_large'] .'" /></a>');

    Yes, enabling grouping in SLB’s settings will add it to the global group.
