It adds rel=”lightbox” when the page is rendered, so it should be one of the last things to happen.
Do you have an example page or some code that I could see so I understand what you’re attempting? (email [email protected] if you’d rather it be private)
[ Moderator note: please wrap code in backticks or use the code button. ]
<?php if (
(function_exists('has_post_thumbnail')) && (has_post_thumbnail()) ) { /* if post has a thumbnail */ ?>
<?php
the_post_thumbnail('post-thumb', array('class' => 'post-thumb')); ?>
<?php } ?>
-this code is at single post php of my theme
the 1st php code: is a checker for thumbnail existing on the post
the 2nd php code: calls the thumbnail in the specified post
(this is where I want to insert the rel =”lightbox”)
Hoping it can work on the thumbnail(featured image on the post)
however I tried dozens of times but still it doesn’t make slimbox the recognize the images to animate -any ideas?
The usual reasons for lightbox failing are :
1. Malformed html on the page. Lightbox will need a link wrapped image with an image target (add-rel-lightbox checks for the file suffix) to work as expected.
2. The lightbox attribute is not correctly applied.
3. Lightbox is not loaded on the page.
From a quick look at the_post_thumbnail page you could add the lightbox attribute in post.php (and add-rel-lightbox will ignore this link when it parses):
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail()) {
$large_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'large');
echo '<a href="' . $large_image_url[0] . '" title="' . the_title_attribute('echo=0') . '" rel="lightbox" >';
the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail');
echo '</a>';
}
?>
Does that help?
