Lightbox link for Vimeo not working

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Bug Reports › Lightbox link for Vimeo not working

  • Gbrother 3 years, 9 months ago

    I added the lightbox code as below.

    <a href="https://vimeo.com/265324416">video</a>

    If you add the code as above, the text “video” will be output and when you click on it, the video should open in the lightbox. However, the text “video” is not output and a splash image is output. The lightbox also doesn’t work.

    I have added two pieces of code to the link below.

    Above is video
    Below is video

    The one above works the lightbox, but the one below doesn’t.

    There is no problem with the settings. I added the above code to the html widget in Elementor Design Builder. How can I solve this problem?

    Hello Gbrother,

    I can see the issue on your website.

    That simple HTML form of a video lightbox link is only meant to work with MP4 video file link. It won’t work with a Vimeo link.

    But you can add lightbox="true;text" to your shortcode, as seen here: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/using-lightbox#anchor-text-with-lightbox

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Martin.

    I added a shortcode at the end of the test page. But it still doesn’t work.

    [fvplayer src="https://vimeo.com/265324416" lightbox="true;text" caption="click on this link"]

    How can I solve this?

    Hello Gbrother,

    I checked your test page and I can see “click here” and “click on this link” links which seem to work just fine.

    Thanks,
    Martin
