@bigdealben – Yes. We provided the Custom option under Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects for basically this reason … so third-party Lightbox libraries et al. could be used with NextGEN Gallery.
Basically just fill in the appropriate details into each field of that Custom option and it should work as expected.
– Cais.
Do you have documentation on those fields. I can’t seem to figure out what goes where.
@bigdealben – We do not have anything specifically documented but essentially you need to fill those fields with the appropriate absolute URL links.
– Cais.
except that doesn’t work. A) Any absolute URL links are changed to relative by your system. B)You don’t allow us to tag the images with the correct markup required to make the gallery work all the code line does is insert something that says data-description and then the code line. This is not resolved it is an open issue
Hi bigdealben,
NextGen should only change your URL to protocol relative; that is it should only change http://example.com/wp-content/.. to //example.com/wp-content/.. so that your CSS/JS work with both HTTP/HTTPS depending on which protocol the site was requested with.
The “code” line is injected into the images anchor element; you could use it to add a class, data- attributes, rel, or anything else you may like. We also provide a filter (‘ngg_effect_code’ with params $effect_code and $displayed_gallery) you can use if you’d like finer control.
