Switch On Slideshow

[Seeker-Smith]

As discussed in this thread I suggest that the slideshow be added to the lightbox in the the media gallery.

Continuity Between Lightboxes

My suggestion is to use the same lightbox in Nodes as the Media Gallery.

Continuing on from that discussion, and I repeat that it may have been disabled for a specific reason, you may be able to re-enable the lightbox functionality with a small template edit.

In template xfmg_media_list_macros find:

data-lb-slide-show="0"

And replace with:

data-lb-slide-show="1"

I'm in testing mode with MG so this will be great to test. I'll report any problems if I find any.

Thank you!

To expand on this, it may be related to the mixed media types in the gallery. The slideshow only works and only makes sense if the gallery is exclusively made up of images. As soon as the slideshow encounters a video, audio or embed, the slideshow will stop.

We also dynamically load in subsequent pages worth of media items. The slideshow doesn't handle this correctly either.

Yes makes sense with mixed media but how is that handled in the nodes? Just stopping makes sense to me.

Quick tests seem to be what I expected. In the main view the slide show stops at the end and in s specific category it loops.

Mixed media doesn't appear in the lightbox in threads.

If I upload 5 images and a mp4 to a thread. Is that not mixed media?

We don’t show videos in the lightbox in threads.

Do you show media in lightbox in MG? Sorry I'm confused. For my purpose this seems like it'll be peachy.
