Wrestling with Prettyphoto/Fancybox, and the slider

resolved (11 posts) (2 voices)

  1. Problem,
    Prettyphoto doesnt automatically pick up any picture link so when users utilize inherent WP gallery function, pictures do not present with the fancybox/prettyphoto effect.

    My first solution was to install lightbox or fancybox, both of which caused both pretty photo and lightbox/fancybox to pop up when used.

    Next I disabled Prettyphoto by remarking out lines 75-77 on custom.js in the theme. This in turn broke the slider and the featured picture presentations for all posts.

    The funny part is since doing this, I lost my slider again...I tried the fix Elliot gave me a few weeks ago and it isn't working now by placing this in the html editor.

    <script type = 'text/javascript' src = 'http://wallerwranglerettes.com/wp-content/themes/echelon/lib/scripts/tabs.min.js'></script>

    Essentially I am down to this.
    1. Need to get the slider running again. The code Elliot used to fix earlier doesn't seem to be working now. (I've already placed the original custom.js back in the scripts folder with the correct permissions)
    2. The client wants to be able to use the WP gallery functions with the lightbox/prettyphoto effect. Essentially they want to be able to upload an array of photos, fill out the information, and use the gallery options already present as opposed to pasting links and using the shortcodes.

    Did you recently update to Wordpress 3.3? You'll need to update Echelon then paste this inside your custom homepage text field and save,

    <script type = 'text/javascript' src = 'http://wallerwranglerettes.com/wp-content/themes/echelon/lib/scripts/tabs.min.js'></script>

  5. Okay we're golden on the slider.

    Now is there a method to disable prettyphoto on post' featured pics so that I can let fancybox handle all the rest? or a method to get prettyphoto to allow for automatic usage on regular wp galleries?

  9. Hey Elliot,

    Not long ago you gave me an adjustment made in custom.js for echelon to allow prettyphoto to pick up the standard wp gallery function by using link="file" in the wp gallery.

    I can't seem to find that change in my notes or on the forum, can you repost or link for me?
