    hi there!

    Thanks for great plugin and great tutorials….

    I am trying to create a link to another page that opens in a lightbox. I can get the link to open a lightbox but then the linked page just opens in my browser and doesn’t stay contained in the lightbox. I thought it might be a size issue, but if so how can this be fixed?

    Ideally i want the lightbox to contain a few images, with each individual image opening a link in a lightbox. the effect im trying to create is one main webpage that the user navigates to then the relevant extra info to just be overlayed in lightbox….

    hope that makes sense

    thanks!

    Site: http://ft01.dcwh.nt/test (a test page as you might of guessed 🙂 )

    Hi, it seems http://ft01.dcwh.nt/test is not accessible… I tried .net too but same result.

    Hey thanks for reply:

    My fat fingers strike again! The page is actually

    http://ft101.dcwh.net/test

    The image in the lightbox is linked to a test page with the iframe class….

    Trying to test that page with Dragonfly in the Opera browser, I get a blocking error:

    Uncaught exception: TypeError: 'window.requestAnimationFrame' is not a function

    but this is not related, it just makes debugging more difficult for me.

    It looks like the target page has a so called frame-breaker script running somewhere that prevents the page from being embedded in an inline frame. No idea where that snippet lives but you can learn more by disabling all other plugins one by one (test each time) and if that does not work, switching to the default theme.

    By the way, please be aware that you are running a few too many lightbox scripts at the same time. Here are a few I noticed besides FancyBox:
    /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/lightbox/static/lightbox_context.js?ver=4.0
    /wp-content/plugins/out-of-the-box/includes/colorbox/jquery.colorbox-min.js?ver=1412746628
    /wp-content/plugins/photo-gallery/js/jquery.fullscreen-0.4.1.js
    /wp-content/plugins/photo-gallery/js/bwg_gallery_box.js?ver=1.2.3
    /wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/js/colorbox.js?ver=1.3.19
    /wp-content/themes/basic/themify/js/lightbox.js?ver=1.9.9

    You really need to limit the number of lightbox scripts to one to prevent conflicts.

    thanks! the error may be to do with page transitions i have set on the page….

    i’ll do a bit of troubleshooting and disable plugins etc, see if that sorts the problem

    seems every plugin i use has a lightbox feature built in – now to turn them off!

    hopefully that will sort it!

    well, i think it was page transitions that were making the page break out of the iframe.

    thanks for your great help and support…

    great plugin!

    🙂

    well, i think it was page transitions

    Was that part of the theme or a plugin?

    It was a seperate plugin, but I’m pretty sure that’s what was causing the problems…
