Formatting lightbox link using Bootstrap button

[rgreen001]

I am wanting to play my own mp4 video in wp-Lightbox-ultimate when pressing a button styled in Bootstrap and am having problems. The video plays, but not in a lightbox.

The button is being displayed in a form with an action= attribute.

What I would like is something like in wp-lightbox that uses a rel= attribute. Is there one for wp-lightbox-ultimate?

If not, can you suggest an alternative please rather than using an image?

Thanks

Hi, currently the popup window can only be opened from a text/image. Can you please share the code you are using? Also provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.

Hi. You can see the effect here:

The code is like this…

<form action="http://www.larato.co.uk/sales-academy/wp-content/vid/00-Overview-of-Sales-Academy-2.mp4">

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-sa saas btn-lg">Play ...</button>

</form>

You can see that the video plays but not in a lightbox.

Thanks

MP4 video requires some additional code to open in lightbox. So there is no easier tweak to trigger the lightbox effect other than using a shortcode. Why don’t you make a text link that looks like a button? It’s possible with CSS.
