I'm pretty stoked to see this working. Just ran into a case where it'd be great if this worked on the acf_the_content filter!

Is this active? i see that it was opened 4 years ago. I would love for it to be possible.

Hi @archetyped ,

Should the following code work with the current lightbox plugin?

          <?php
            $content = the_sub_field('wysiwyg');
            if ( function_exists('slb_activate') ) {
              $content = slb_activate($content);
            }
            echo $content;
          ?>

the_sub_field('wysiwyg'); fetches my ACF content.

Currently, the code block above doesn't add lightbox functionality to any galleries in the $content.

Help appreciated.

@SRD75 it looks like the same question you asked in WordPress' support forum was already answered some time ago.

Please refer to that existing post to keep all future discussion in one place.

Thanks.

Sorry of this is not in the right place, but it matches what I’m looking for.

I’m working with Vimeo files, and they come in with their own metadata, which includes Title and Description. I would like to use WordPress Title and ACF Description, because the info needs to be different for the website context. I’m already using the title=“” attribute in the link to override Vimeo’s title, but being able to add description=“” (or something similar) would be what I’m dreaming of.

I find myself needing to display custom info in Lightboxes below the media files, and I would be totally stoked if this ACF add-on was released. The rest of your plugin is awesome, and it would become the last Lightbox plugin I ever use. Add my vote for this!

And in the meantime, if I was to muck around on my own, in what direction would you point me in order to fetch local ACF info to display in the Description field?

Thanks!

Any timeline for this being implemented? I am creating a site for an artist and I need to be able to display artwork details (year, medium, ect.) from acf fields in the lightbox pop-up. Thank you!

Hey @iamsmae I can send you what i did if you like. I am also using it to display artwork with the same fields including variable feilds like if the work is available or if there are prints. I have some javascript that adds the slb snippet to any WP gallery image. Then the gallery link opens a WP attachment page in a modal window which is super pared down to display only the image + content. It looks really nice and clean. ALso, i don't use attachment pages for anything else (never really have) so this solution made sense to me. I don't know that there's a way to message me or anything but I can share that.

Hello @captaincourageous! That would be really helpful, please! Do you have a Git repository, or what would be the best way to share?
