Is it possible to utilize the bootstrap lightbox, zentools, or any other T3 or Base3 code to make the full-article image open in a lightbox?

Basically, a zoom feature for the full-article image.

I saw bootstrap uses data-toggle="lightbox" but I was unable to make it work in a template override.

I see that zentools uses this (SAMPLE FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE):
<a data-width="600" data-thumbtooltip="Jack Smith Velo Rossa Spyder" data-group="gallery-109-image" class="jackbox" data-href="#data265" data-behavior="lightbox"><img data-original="www.ztrix.com//media/mod_zentools/cache/images/velo-rossa_57-1-c6d7629bf076d4f2482ef85f56d68d04.jpg" src="www.ztrix.com//media/mod_zentools/cache/images/velo-rossa_57-1-c6d7629bf076d4f2482ef85f56d68d04.jpg" alt="Jack Smith Velo Rossa Spyder" title="Jack Smith Velo Rossa Spyder"></a>

Is there a way to use that for the full-article image?

I'll need to ask about this as I don't know the answer to this one

Hi Jeff,

You would need to create an html layout override and add your code there. eg html/com-content/article/default.php.

Look for the appropriate code and then add your edit. You can try using class="modal" but that is likely to have mixed results. When Ive done this in the past Ive just added js for a lightbox to the template and added the code manually to trigger the lightbox like this.

At the moment I like the magnific lightbox.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advise.

So I guess that means that the js that is already loaded by zentools to get the lightbox can't be used also for this purpose.

I actually got it to work using JCE media box popup!!!

The article override now looks like this:

Good to know

Glad I don't have to pay that for a part

I am proud of myself for some good old fashion copy/paste coding

LOL. These are racing brakes that can handle stomping on them every couple seconds.

Cool thing is I am trading this website for parts and labor on my 240z! www.facebook.com/240ZeffR

ah my car only goes fast when driving down mountains

Good luck with the parts
