Add option to display a Project's image gallery as a lightbox/slideshow #90

I've been getting a lot of feedback on this lately, as our Canvas customers start transitioning from the portfolio feature to Projects. Quite a few of them are disappointed that all added images display down the page rather than in the lightbox feature from Portfolio.

Not sure this is something that would be added into Projects or if it would go into Canvas instead, but I think it would be a good idea to add.

A few of the tickets:

Sounds like a potential projects extension to me, potentially given to Canvas customers for free.

I agree, extension for the win!

tarvalian commented 9 years ago

Sounds like a good idea to me. We might also add the 'galleries navigation' feature for the categories from Canvas as well, since I've had a few people ask after that as well.

Could be an idea to pitch at wootrip ;-) I probably wont have time to work on something like this between now and then.

Agreed, I've added a wunderlist todo to chat about this on WooTrip

I was thinking of trying this as a potential first plugin to work on, at least in regards to a Canvas/Projects extension. I'm not sure how far into it I'll get, but I'm willing to give it a shot. I've been scouting for a small, Canvas-related plugin to work on.

I've spent some time looking at lightbox plugins today.

This one is actually pretty good: https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsive-lightbox/ It includes a bunch of different scripts which is kinda weird but the code is clean enough and it works.

With a couple of little tweaks to the Projects gallery templates we can make this plugin work with Projects (and all of our themes) out of the box easily enough. We can then start recommending people use this plugin for all their lightbox needs and begin thinking about removing it from Canvas.
