   I've been on what has turned into a crusade tonight trying to figure out how to make my post thumbnails open in a lightbox as an image and not the actual post(it actually doesn't load the post, but attempts). After many failed attempts I figured I'd try to replace the post url with a custom value from my custom field. I found later that if I want to use a custom field I need to specify both the name and value. However I'm trying to have the lightbox open a unique image via the custom fields.

   I've been trying to work with replacing the "get_permalink($single->ID)" with something that is more controllable and that's an image and not a post.

   public function get_thumbnail($single, $lcp_thumb_class = null){
           if ($this->params['thumbnail']=='yes'){
               $lcp_thumbnail = '';
               if ( has_post_thumbnail($single->ID) ) {
   
                 if ( in_array( $this->params['thumbnail_size'], array('thumbnail', 'medium', 'large', 'full') ) ) :
                   $lcp_thumb_size = $this->params['thumbnail_size'];
                 elseif ($this->params['thumbnail_size']):
                   $lcp_thumb_size = explode(",", $this->params['thumbnail_size']);
                 else :
                   $lcp_thumb_size = 'thumbnail';
                 endif;//thumbnail size
   
                 $lcp_thumbnail = '<a rel="lightbxox" href="' . get_permalink($single->ID).'">'; 
   
                 $lcp_thumbnail .= get_the_post_thumbnail(
                                     $single->ID,
                                     $lcp_thumb_size,
                                     ($lcp_thumb_class != null) ? array('class' => $lcp_thumb_class ) : null
                                   );
                 $lcp_thumbnail .= '</a>';
   
               }
               return $lcp_thumbnail;
           } else {
               return null;
           }
       }

   Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I hope someone else has attempted this and succeeded!! :)
