Hi, I have just bought the PRO version 1.6.3 of your excellent lightbox and have a few questions:
1. How do I find the Facebook app ID to enter in the Share tab?
2. In the Style tab, the Overlay Opacity parameter appears to have no effect; the overlay appears dark gray (which is actually OK) whether the parameter is set to 0.1 or 0.9.
3. I can get the image title to display with a combination of "Convert file name to title" and "Smart title", but it would be better if "Title" could be different to the file name and taken from the Title field in the Media Library. Also the ability to display the Caption field from Media Library would be useful, together with the option to centre these below the image, as well as left justified as at present.
Thanks again for a great product.
Regards,
Alan

Hello,

Thank you for your choice of our plugin. Regarding your questions:

1. You can read here how to create/find Facebook app ID. This manual for "ARI Stream Quiz" plugin, but section about Facebook app ID is the same for "ARI Fancy Lightbox".

2. It is a bug, we will fix it in the next version of the plugin. Currently you can add the following CSS rule to "Custom CSS" parameter on "Style" tab to change opacity:

BODY .fancybox-is-open .fancybox-bg {opacity: 0.1}

3. The plugin uses data from titles from Media Library when the lightbox is integrated with WordPress native galleries (JetPack galleries). These galleries add data from Media Library to HTML code and then it can be used by the lightbox. The lightbox can also retrieve titles from EXIF data (if it is defined in image file).

Thanks, I have now created a Facebook App ID. It would be helpful to others if this information from the ARI Stream Quiz documentation could be copied into the next version of the Fancy Lightbox documentation.

An idea for improvement/ enhancement of Fancy Lightbox in the future:

Photographers would appreciate the ability to display selected shooting information from the EXIF data below each photo, eg Camera Model, Lens, Focal Length, Exposure (Shutter Speed, Aperture), ISO Speed Rating.

Thanks again for all your great work,

Alan.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will update the documentation soon and add section about Facebook app ID.

About more information from EXIF data, probably you can specify how to better show these data? Is it suitable if add an info/more icon which will show a new panel with details from EXIF?

ARI Soft

Hi, regarding display of the EXIF data, I was thinking it could be displayed on a separate line below the photo where the image title and caption appear (if there is space). Alternatively, your suggestion of a new panel activated by an info icon would also be good. Perhaps there could be a choice of options in the settings page ie 1. Do not display EXIF data
2. Display EXIF data below the image
3. Display EXIF data in a new panel via an info icon

Best wishes,

Alan

We add this feature to our TODO list and implement it in a future version of the plugin. Thank you for your suggestion.
