Using modal on external images and CPT pages

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I am using plenty of custom made templates for CPTs and I would like to hook on the theme’s modal window for images. Currently I have it enables for all post images and they work fine, however all image links at CPT templates open at new browser window.

Additionally, any external images in posts still open in new browser windows.

Is there a way to fix these 2 issues?

thanks

Hi,

The modal image use javascript code, for example the general modal image feature was added from version 6 to help user with old posts to force the light box for images. Here you can find the code – http://screencast.com/t/4XLw0IQI It adds td-modal-image for all images(on the image link more accurate) – http://screencast.com/t/mioTxc5sirb
Regarding external image, I have tested this on my side, added an image to a post – http://screencast.com/t/pqIzytWbokR enable the modal – http://screencast.com/t/XPKLr2Ik3 and the image is open in lightbox – http://screencast.com/t/ghd1cgKGg

Thanks!

Hi Alin,
thanks for the help. For external images at posts I actually meant those that exist already in older posts, which do not work.

As for posts in other post types, I tried to manually add class=”td-modal-image” to the a before the image but it doesn’t pop up :/

any ideas how to solve this? Or do you know of any 3rd party plugins that will be compatible?

thanks

Hi,

The global option works for this structure – http://screencast.com/t/qfge5yXk
On your CPT you may have a different one and because of this the js doesn’t set the class on the images included in the CPT.
To make it work for CPT’s you have to modify the js, add another line which applies the class on the images contained by your CPT.
If you have custom html you manually added like this – http://screencast.com/t/Opc2yXpDGQ and it should work.

Thank you!
