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
http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/

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.

Hi George,
I have received your login details and will look into it in a couple of hours and get back to you.

Thank you

Hi Amaris,
Welcome to Buddydev Forums.

Please Visit Dashboard->MediaPress->settings and check Members tab. Is Members tab configured you need to set the view and allowed gallery types/gallery status there.

If it is not saved and these are not visible, click “Save changes” and then revisit that tab. You can enable/disable these. after that, you should be able to create gallery.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. Closing it as resolved now.
