WP Photo Seller – lightbox popup window size

[blackdogz]

WP-Photo Seller: When a gallery photo is clicked and a lightbox opens it is the size of the uploaded photo. A lightbox popup normally constrains itself to the browser window. I want to keep the lightbox to as large a size as possible without having to scroll, so this behavior is important.

You can increase the size of the popup by setting a watermark and then increasing the “Watermarked Max Preview Dimension (px)” field.

If you don’t want to display any watermark then put a “.” in the “Watermark Text” and set the text placement to “centered” and also the font size to something small.

Lightbox normally opens a window relative to the size of the browser window and contained within that window. Photo Seller’s lightbox is static and stays at the size designated either by the uploaded photo size or by using the Watermarked Max Preview Dimension field value as you suggested.

Is there a way to make the size of the lightbox popup dynamic and relative to the size of the current browser window?

I am interested in this issue too, but I don’t know if I am understanding sth wrong:

When I click on a photo in the gallery there is the detail page coming up and not a popup window. I would like to have a lightbox showing the pic in a desired size. How can I do this?

[blackdogz]

It’s easy to have a lightbox popup come up rather than a detail page. On the Create/Edit Gallery settings page, uncheck the “Preview Photo via Page” checkbox (about half way down the page) and it defaults to the popup.

You can then set the popup size by using the technique Peter describes above.

@blackdogz – this is not what I am searching for. I like the detail page and it’s necessary in my shop, but I would suggest the possibility to use a lightbox plugin when someone clicks on the picture in the detailpage. In order the pics of the relevant gallery are shown in this “lightbox”. This would allow a nice presentation of the pics in a large scale.

Hi @pitshop,

I see what you mean. The lightbox feature is not currently available in the photo details page (because you have the option of varying your photo size via the settings plus the zoom).

However, we will note down your suggestion as a candidate for a future addition.

If may I say so, I agree whith the proposal of pitshop to add the lightbox feature when a customer click on the image of Photo Details.
