Hello Mike,
Sorry but I’m not sure I fully understand what you mean,
You want to have a link, let’s say http://myblog.com/mypost#my-image and when someone goes on it, it opens your post with the lightbox opened ?
Best,
Sorry, I wasn’t clear. You have the right idea, send someone a link and the site will open the correct image in the lightbox on load.
For me, this would be a low priority but a nice touch.
No problem 🙂
Even if it’s not obvious from an external point of view, there is a few different ways to run a lightbox, and the one we choose doesn’t really allow us to do this, I guess you can still either give the attachment page link, or add an id to the image tag like :
<img src=”your-img-src” id=”your-img-id”>
And then send the link “http://myblog/mypost#your-img-id”, which is basically an anchor link that will send people directly at the image position in the article, but unfortunately without the lightbox triggered.
The 2 “solutions” are not really great but I think we can’t really do what you want anyway, except if Jordy has a good idea for doing it 🙂
Best,
No worries, this is an edge case really and quite possibly not something I will need. Just throwing it out as a future idea in case you guys are bored 🙂
