I have an isotope gallery which shows the hero image of each post on my Wordpress 6.0.2 landing page. On clicking on one of the images I show the complete post content in a lighbox through adding
" $('.isotope-item-link').fancybox({type: 'iframe'}); "
in the custom-js section in the backend, which works great.


The problem is that, although its checked, the deep linking doesnt work and my url bar does not update.
I rightclicked and copied the link of the gallery item and its completely fine, so fancybox should know what to display, shouldnt it?

Any ideas what I could have done wrong? Can I give more detailed information?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,

Could you send a link to a page with the gallery by email?

I had sent you an e-mail directly, but never got a reply, so I'm trying again.
I will delete the url when we are done, but for now you can visit: XXX.XXXXX.XX
(On the main page, click on the upper left image in the gallery, the one with the curtains, the contents of a wordpress page pop up, but no deep linking occurs.)

Since my last post, I tried a few things and have started to implement the fancybox trigger directly into the code, rather than pasting it into the advanced custom javascript field in the backend. I believe that if I call the posts as iframes the deeplinking doesnt work.
If I call them as html, though, the content gets replaced by the URL.

This is what I came up with on my local XAMPP installation. Still works, but doesnt deep link...
<a class="isotope-item-link" data-fancybox data-type="iframe" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"></a>

Hello,

Remove your custom code please. After this open "ARI Fancy Lightbox -> Settings -> Advanced" and populate "Custom JS code" parameter with the following code:

It works! Now I understand where I went totally wrong and made it more complicated than it was.
Thank you very much!

Might I ask if it could be possible to somehow get a descriptive URL, rather than a random code?
So something like
localhost/fokuspunkt_wp/#!popup/visualisierungen-von-tapeten
(so in this case the title of the linked post)
rather than
localhost/fokuspunkt_wp/#!popup/3ec9fe3a

Sorry, but currently it is not possible to define custom link name.
