Hi,
I use the wpdatatables plugin, and have a list of pdf files in one MySQL table as source like this:
Column A with the url of the pdf file (https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.pdf)
Column B with the url of an image as the source for the link (https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.png)
Column C as a virtual (calculated) column like <a href="https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.pdf" target="_blank"> <img src=https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.png"></a> (within the "taget=_blank" option enabled in fancy settings)
Column D as a virtual (calculated) column with shortcode like [fancybox url="https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.pdf"] <<img src=https:mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/file1.png">[/fancybox]

None of these options opens the pdf in a lightbox. The pdf is open but in the browser window. Even with the "Convert PDF links" enabled.
BUT the format ""mysite.com/pypage/#!fancybox/eb682b69" seems to work !
My question is : how to get this generated "eb682b69" like code for the pdf files ? Can it be calculated ? And stored ? I didn't found any table with it...

Thank you.
Andres

Hello,

Is it possible to see final table on a page? We suppose data are loaded dynamically and some extra JS code is needed to attach lightbox.

You can also try to add "ari-fancybox" CSS class to links if use PRO version of "ARI Fancy Lightbox".

Hi,
Ok, now I'm opening the pdfs in a lightbox, but I don't like the "reader" or "renderer". It's my default I think from my browser, but I don't like the buttons, too many, etc. I wish to have a more simplistic one, with only pagination, scale, donload/print options.
I can have such "reader" if I embed the pdf in a page with a plugin, but not in lightbox.
Can this be done by code, or CSS, or any other way ?
The image is showing the more or less desired lightbox.
Thanks.
Regrads,

It is not possible to change UI of default browser's PDF viewer. Some customization is possible if you use PDFJS viewer (it can be selected in plugin settings).
