error in working properly with another plugin

    I’ve been using the plugin for a while now, and I even fixed a problem with the AJAX integration, which I’m grateful for.

    Now I have another integration problem. I’m using a plugin called “Photonic“, which is a plugin that integrates with some image services.

    This plugin has several lightboxes included, but since I use “Firelight”, I disabled their internal integration to use it.

    However, when I use the integration with Flickr within this app, Firelight doesn’t work properly. I’ve made countless configurations within their app, but Firelight isn’t activated, especially on mobile devices.

    I was only able to activate it on the mobile device when I lowered the image quality in “Main image size” to “Large, 1024px longest side” within “Photonic”. The integration doesn’t work on any resolution above that on the smartphone, and sometimes it doesn’t work on the computer either, forcing me to use the integrated lightboxes within it.

    Even though it’s another plugin, I don’t know if this type of problem could be fixed. If you need more details, just let me know, or if you need prints I can also send them if necessary.

    Anyway, thank you. Thank you

    Hi! I’m happy to look at this and see what might be involved in getting it looking. Any chance you can share a link to a live page (if you’d like to keep it private, you can reach out at https://firelightwp.com/contact)?

    In the meantime, I can try to install Photonic and see how it works and, depending on the complexity/setup, see if I can duplicate your issue.

    No problem, the post is already online, I’ll send it here because it’s public.

    Note, at the beginning of the post the images are using nextgen as I always do, and right at the end of the post the photos are using photonic with lightbox disabled.
    It’s possible to make it work, but when I do it on mobile it doesn’t work.
    I left the post at this exact moment the configuration that I can make it work on the desktop, but on the smartphone it loads endlessly and the photonic images pulling from flickr don’t even appear.

    The images I’m attaching here show a little of the configuration that I leave in photonic to stay the way it is now, but to work with their internal lightbox, I need to change the “php mode” to “javascript mode” and enable their internal lightbox, then both on the desktop and smartphone they work with their lightbox.

    Update:

    @sonicgyn – Sorry for the delay. I just checked this today. A few notes:

    • The photonic galleries at the bottom of your page (‘campus party’, etc’) seem to be working for me on both web and mobile. Did you resolve this? Or are you just making sure to use settings that work (not php generated, lower resolution than “Large, 1024px longest side”)?
    • I installed Photonic locally. I tested only against native WP Galleries as I don’t currently have a Flickr account. The lightbox seems to be working well.
    • I did test the php vs javascript “Loading Mode”. For me – and with default WP galleries, the php loading loading mode works fine on desktop and also on mobile (ie, our lightbox opens fine on mobile). So I wonder if that setting is problematic only for Flickr galleries, or is interacting with some other setting.
    • I could not (yet) test the image size setting for Flickr galleries. It looks like I’d need to set up a Flickr gallery to test. I’ll probably do that, but there’s some extra work involved, so it’ll take me a bit.
      • You said that if you use a larger size, on mobile, and try to click on the image, the lightbox tries to open the image, but it just keeps spinning. I want to confirm that if you let that spinner go for a while, the image doesn’t eventually open. If you are trying to load the full size original images, and the images are large, and you are on a mobile connections, it’s possible that it just takes a while for the lightbox to load the full size image.
      • That being said, it sounds like the 1600px option isn’t working either, and that should certainly work. The only other things I can think of here is (a) the larger images don’t exists – I’m not sure where Photonic is pulling those image sizes from, WordPress or Flickr or (b) the markup of the gallery would need to change for large image sizes on mobile – our plugin depends on certain image markup being there to work. In any case, the would all need more testing.

    If you have further thoughts, let me know. Otherwise, it’ll just be in me to get set up with Flickr soon.

    So I eventually managed to get it to work at least in the first part, but when you click on “Carregar Mais…” it will load I think via ajax, and all the photos loaded from there your plugin doesn’t work, all the links of the images loaded from there don’t work, they open the image by themselves via the flickr link.
    That problem I had with cell phone vs computer (one works, the other doesn’t…) didn’t work anymore, now it’s both the problem

    PS: flickr photo size is no longer an issue.

    @sonicgyn – Here’s what’s going on now with this page:

    1) The initial page loads with some images.
    2) Our lightbox JS runs, and adds some classes to images to make them open in the lightbox.
    3) You click to load more, and the some more images are dynamically loaded to the page.
    4) Because #3 happens after #2, the new images that are loaded don’t have the proper classes in place. We’d need to re-run our lightbox JS from #2 each time images are added/changed/.

    I should not that the Firelight Pro lightbox has this ability. It detects changes to image containers, and reloads lightbox JS when needed. But this just is not something we’ve added to the free lightbox yet. I can explore what would be involved to add it, but I’m not sure when I’ll get to that.
