@pablo I did as you said in the thread but the problem arised tat there no arrows to navigate
The purpose of FAQ article is how to replace fancybox1 with fancybox3. It will use the default configuration. WWB does not change the way fancybox works.
If you want to change the properties then please consult the documentation for more information: https://fancyapps.com/fancybox/3/docs/
Maybe a crazy question but - I have a page that was completely written (but not published) prior to following all instructions and copying files with ini file for fancybox3. I am using WB15. Now that I've added the folder with the 2 min files and the ini , when I preview the (unpublished) page, it seems nothing has changed and I am still using the original version of fancybox. Is there something different I need to do to have the new version take effect on an existing page (before publishing the site?)
Also, there was a comment in this thread that there was an "existing" fancybox folder that was installed originally (prior version). The only place I find an existing fancybox folder is in the published files, not in the system folder. Is that right?
Have you placed the fancybox3 files in
Documents > WYSIWYG Web Builder > system > lightbox > fancybox >
If the fancybox folder is not present then you need to create it.
There is a more recent thread on this subject as well see https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forum ... 15#p437903
There may be something relevant there for you.
Roger, thanks for that reply. Placement of the folders and files are correct and I did take a look at the newer thread. I checked Pablo's example and at the moment, the only difference I find is this:
<script src="jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script> on my page html as opposed to Pablo's <script src="jquery-3.4.1.min.js"></script>
I'll look around a bit more and see what I can find. Then perhaps another question out of ignorance...
Once I publish the files to my desktop and upload them to my server (after ensuring everything is working as intended) should I retain the "published file" folder, or delete it before publishing on the next upload event?
It appears to me that I have the correct files in the correct places with the ini file as described (triple checked) in the proper place. I have tried with both JQuery versions. With all of the changes, the lightbox/fancybox no longer works as it did prior to updating and set up under the WB distributed (older) version. All of my settings were working (except I could not disable the nav arrows which is why I wanted to the newer version)
In fact, all lightboxes now work but seem to be "boilerplate" - ie; open full screen with overlay and close button top right of screen with no "title or caption" displayed.
NOTHING I do in "settings" makes any difference at all, arrows true / false, height/width, titleShow true/false etc.
Somewhere I am missing something yet I do not yet know what it is or where it is that I'm missing it.
Can you give us a link to your actual project file so we can have a look. I decided not to use Pablo's fix for fancybox3 as I had multiple slideshows using different versions of fancybox so now have fancybox3 on some pages set up independent of web builder per the Fancyapps specs. However Pablo's fix definitely works and I may yet convert to it as I am weaning off the older versions.
Well sir, not yet I can't. I'm afraid to publish to my site for fear I might mess up what's already working. I may be able to get it to a test server but I won't be able to do that until Tuesday ... I'm going to keep messing around to see if I can determine the issue myself. I'll post after Tuesday to give show you the project if I haven't figured it out. Thanks, very much, for the offer to look.
