Use colorbox link in theme/template

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › How to … › Use colorbox link in theme/template

  • Gerald 7 years, 9 months ago

    Hello!

    Is there a way to use the colorbox lightbox inside a template file directly?
    I habe a custom page template with a custom WP_Query and output the video url like this:
    … some html …
    “>show video
    … some html …
    The Variable is filled correctly but the the lightbox is not showing.
    The Video just opens directly (File in Browser).

    Do I have to add some extra code to make this work?

    Thanks,
    Robert

    can you give us a working example, where the problem is visible?

    Hello Gerald,

    the HTML markup which you used works with FV Player lightbox: https://foliovision.com/player/basic-setup/using-lightbox#lightbox-without-fvplayer-shortcodes

    However – for it to work it must be part of the post content – the WordPress the_content filter must be running on it. I explained that in the above documentation.

    Thanks,
    Martin
