Hi Nauti,
Thank you.
I will look at the Nextgen integration.

My email is brajesh@buddydev.com . Please do drop me a mail there is you find anything.

I was looking for foobox javascript API. If we can see that, It will be super easy to do it. Lighbox2 support is easier to add as their JS API is available.

Hi Nauti,
Thank you for your mails and all your efforts to help so far.

the problem lies with lack of an open API for foobox. The documents you pointed were for the events that get triggered after a lightbox is attached to the element.

I haven’t seen any example on how do we attach the foobox lightbox to custom elements.

Here is how I do it for Ligbox/colorbox plugin for Single gallery page

//this is the javascript code that I put in my theme’s document ready

	if( jq.fn.colorbox != undefined ) {
		jq( ".mpp-single-gallery-media-list .mpp-item-thumbnail").colorbox({ rel:'gallery', href: function () {
				var url = jq(this).data('mpp-large-src');
				
				return url;
		}}) ;
	}
 

and this is the php I put in my bp-custom.php

add_filter( 'mpp_media_html_attributes_pre', 'mpp_inject_colorbox' );
function mpp_inject_colorbox( $atts ) {
	
	$media = $atts['media'];
	
	if( ! $media ) {
		return $atts;
	}
	
	
	$atts['data-mpp-large-src'] = mpp_get_media_src('', $media );
	
	return $atts;
}

And this makes it work for this plugin

On single gallery pages.

So, to enable it for foobox, I need some access to their API. Like colorbox has great documentation here

Now to answer why it does not work out of the box for all lightbox? The problem is MediaPress gallery contains media where each media have their own page. They don’t directly link to the media file. If they linked directly to the media file, most of the lightbox plugin will work out of the box. But in that case, we loose the commenting/view counting/rating etc many functionalities that are important for single media.

Can you please ask the developers of FooBox if they have some guide on how to integrate it with 3rd party plugin where the anchor does not link to actual media file. We can use data attributes though.
