I have a site which has portfolios of pictures displayed in a photogallery. I am using a lightbox (fancybox) so that a user can click on a photo and see an expanded image. But this is not necessarily the full size of the image.

At the moment, they have to right click the expanded image and click 'open in a new tab' to see it full screen (with scroll bars etc.). It would be nice if there was a lightbox that allowed that without having to leave my site. Does anyone know if there is such a thing? Or a way to display the full sized (100% image) within my site?

Thanks for any ideas

There are many different (third party) lightboxes so if fancybox does not work for you then you have many other options you can choose from.

They all seem to do much the same thing (from the demos).

Alan

Then it looks like I have not found a lightbox that does what you want.

I've found the options here https://fancyapps.com/fancybox/api/opti ... le-options and I can set what I want, but then I have to hit the 'back' button to go back to the fancybox gallery.

So, I'm nearly there. Thanks for the pointers.

Alan

Well, it appears that no matter what text I put in the 'options' of a lightbox (and it can be gibberish), I get an image which I can expand to full screen but I need to hit the back button to exit it. Very weird. I need to look at the html produced (if I can). But that's for another day.

Alan

This probably means that you have added invalid code, which breaks the script.

Perhaps the issue lies with the image being 100% (fullscreen) and the close button top right not insight so it can be clicked to close the image and take you back to the gallery.
As you can see from the example below there is a close button on the expanded image which does what it is meant too. Maybe you need to rethink about the image size so that the close button will be visible for use.

Note the fancybox settings
Lightbox-->Fancybox-->Settings Add the size you wish

BF, I want to upload a full size image so that the users can view it at the size it was taken. Yes, I could resize it, but that's not the point. And no, there is no close button anywhere (but that's probably because I broke it)

Pablo, yes, it probably does break it, but I have no real idea of the syntax of the options, so I was just guessing.

Alan

If you need, then I need to see what you have done.

I'll upload a sample (small) wbs file later. Thanks for looking.

Alan

For example, mobiletouchgallery lightbox will open the image filling the screen assuming the image is big enough to begin with to fill the screen. Of course, how it looks depends on the image itself. Is it landscape or portrait? Most lightboxes will scale the image and keep the aspect ratio so it looks good and to avoid scrollbars.

Hi Alan Looking again think your issues could be related to what your trying to use from the url you have gave. The current version used in WWB is 1.3.4 whereas the link is for "Newer" versions see the following for all newer releases Releases · fancyapps/fancybox what this means any "newer" code is not compatible and will break the version in WWB. I am sure Pablo will give you a more better answer when he reviews your demo. For all extras that can be used in 1.3.4 see the url in my reply these shouldn't break anything.

Thanks. You could be right. I will upload something tomorrow. But it is knowing what to put in the options box. Is it just the command? Is it some code? The help doesn't really explain it.

Alan

I;ve uploaded a small wbs program with one image which, when displayed, if you click on the picture displays it in a fancy box. However, in the options, I have put in an invalid command. Now, when you click on it, it shows the image full screen and you can click again to expand it to full size. This is exactly what I want except you have to hit the back button to close the image and go back to the web page. What I want is a small 'X' somewhere to close the image.

Any advice appreciated.

Alan

String values must have quotes.
should be

Pablo,

That was deliberately wrong to induce the error mode you said earlier. Which produces almost what I want.

Is there an option within the fancybox options that DOES do what I want?

Alan

If the script fails, then the browser will fallback to its default behavior.
It's the same behavior as when using no lightbox at all.

I do not think fancybox (or any other lightbox) can do what you want.

OK, thank you.

Alan
