Poor documentation and title setting doesn't work as expected
-
Not stated in the documentation is that the image tag is required to be enclosed by a link; and that the link must point to the actual image file (png, jpg, etc.), before the lightbox is operable on that image, in the context of a page.
With multiple images on the same page, each one should be linked, in the same way. , their URLs should all be set to the same type (e.g., the “Media File” – jpg, png, etc.). Since this can be done in multiple ways—via the HTML editor’s “link” icon; via the HTML editor’s “text” view; or via the mini image editor activated when clicking the image in the visual HTML editor; I believe each method should be illustrated.
Additionally, when the “Show Title” setting was checked, the title did not show up in the lightbox. Of course it shows up on hover over the image, before the lightbox is ever activated with a click; because that is the normal effect of title attributes on hover. But it does NOT show up in the lightbox, for style options 1-5.
I tested the free version for a friend. As a developer, I’d say the documentation, at least, should be very clear for the end user and not assume any expertise with image editing or linking the image.
