Help needed with gallery and lightbox customizations

mbridge87 · July 21, 2014

Hello all,

I can't believe after all this time I'm still working on my site...:dunno...nearly there

There's a couple of customizations I need to do and was hoping someone may be able to help. I've searched the forums but can't seem to get this to work for me. Solutions on other threads don't seem to work / I can't modify them for my purposes.

I want to:

1) Move the title to underneath the photo in the lightbox
2) Remove the arrow in lightbox that expands the title part.
3) already solved this one which was for the gallery but can't change the title of the thread

I have found a few things that I thought would work but for some reason they don't. I've created a test event so you guys can have a look as these galleries are different to my public portfolio ones, they're client galleries.

Can't be of any help with your customisations, but just wanted to say I love the layout and look of your site. Very polished and professional looking!

Hi Peter,

Thank you so much for saying that. As I'm sure you know it takes a long time to set this stuff up, especially if you want to add lots of extra bits, so it means a lot to hear someone say they like the look. I would never of been able to do it without the help of the people on here.

I really like the look of your site too and I love your images! They really make me want to pick up my camera and jump on a plane. So much so I actually looked up how much flights to Iceland are, ha ha.

Hey everyone,

If this is harder than I thought then I'd settle for simply removing the arrow in the lightbox that expands the title part. There's just no use for that arrow if I'm not having keywords and captions in lightbox.

Really hope this can be done and thanks in advance for any help.

I don't see an arrow in lightbox on your site (to expand the title).

I do see the full screen triangle but no arrow.

Hey Denise,

Thanks for looking,

Strangest thing. I had to go away from my computer for a while to do some other work. When I got back this piece of code was in the CSS box on that page:

/* remove arrow in lightbox */

/* Show caption all the time */
.sm-user-ui .sm-lightbox-basic .yui3-widget-ft {
position: static;
}

I have no idea how this got there but am very thankful to whomever did it!
