I don't know where you are getting stuck, but I put together this demo to help get you started
http://jsfiddle.net/ycUB6/8912/
If you share some of the code you are using, I can better help troubleshoot the problem.
Hello,
As some of you may know the Squarespace platform doesn't provide a lightbox for their Slider Gallery (it does for the standard gallery) and I came across 'AnythingSlider' as it seems the AnythingSlider with a lightbox will be the solution for me.
I did look at the demo page under AnythingSlider FX Demo 1 - Thumbnails & a Lightbox. And although I don't necessarily need the thumbnails I have been trying to get it all to work but have failed now in trying for days. I have looked at all the demo info and code and tried to also look at and understand the source code for both Anything Slider and for the Colorbox plugin and even tried it all in JSFiddle, but I am no where close to getting it to work.
I'm not a coder at all and so I guess it's outside my skillset and so have not been able to implement it even following the instructions and guidance. I've searched for other people's pages on how to implement it as sometimes you do find some great simple step by step explanations but I am hoping someone here can help me as it's been months now trying to get help from Squarespace who don't and won't provide any development support and will not even simply implement the lightbox on the existing slider gallery. I've spent a lot of time speaking to a whole range of developers (including Squarespaces recommended) who have thought they could do it but then have realised that they don't know how to do it. I'm convinced it can't be that difficult. I wish I had more time to learn. I know it may involve pointing at the DIV classes etc and know how to get all that info using element inspect etc.
Just need to find someone who knows their stuff, is available to work this out and can actually communicate it all in simple terms. I will implement up to 10 of these sliders with a lightbox on around 4/5 pages so need to know how to do it so I can then apply it across all pages.
Can anyone help/advise? or recommend someone who can?
Thanks in advance :)
