Action on Photo Click Suggestion: Open Photo in Popup AND Redirect to a Link

Ask the Community Customization

I’d love all my thumbnails to show as full-size on click, but the Blender ones also include vital links to where people can use these models themselves. So, is there a way we can have both these actions be possible when using the gallery?

Hi @Eddie_Thomson :waving_hand:

You’d like to open the image in a popup first and then redirect to URL after a certain delay, right?

If so, would you like the URL to be opened in the same or new tab?

Hi Max,

Sorry, I forgot to check on this.

Something like that. Like clicking on the popup again redirects. Clicking outside it closes the popup. Does that make sense

And new tab, please

Hi @Eddie_Thomson :waving_hand:

Could you please specify the ID of the widget where you’d like to implement it? I’ll be happy to check what can be done :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi,

I’m in there right now optimizing the images, so as soon as I wrap that up

Thank you!

And I think I optimized everything as best as possible…but could you actually take a look at that, please?

There’s one more thing.

What can I do about these thumbnails making text hard to read?

Hi there, @Eddie_Thomson :waving_hand:

I’ve forwarded your request to the devs and will update you pnce the solution is ready.

As for the text display, you can enable the Title, Description and Categories options in the Popup Settings section. This way the text will be displayed higher:

image325×248 4.88 KB

You can also change the text color in the Popup section on the Style tab:

Hi Max

Thank you. Most are readable, but some aren’t. This might be as close as it gets, and that’s alright

I guess all the text needs a solid background and/or every element needs space around it or something?

11

Yep, you’re absolutely right :wink:

12

Is there anything in the settings/style I can do from here, or is this something the Devs can work on?

13

There is no setting for this, but I’ll check what can be done with the devs. I’ll keep you updated :slightly_smiling_face:

14

Awesome! Thank you!

15

Devs confirmed that the only solution here is to add a solid background. Here is a CSS code:

@external {
  .fslightbox-caption-wrapper {
    background: #121212;
    max-width: 500px;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
  }
}
16

Thank you! It’s almost perfect. I’m trying to tweak the opacity, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

17

You can change the background color to rgba, where 0.7 is opacity: background: rgba(18, 18, 18, 0.7);

Here is the full code:

@external {
  .fslightbox-caption-wrapper {
    background: rgba(18, 18, 18, 0.7);
    max-width: 500px;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
  }
}

Beautiful, thank you! Should I mark this as solution found, or wait for that link part?

19

I’ve just received a response regarding your request (redirect to URL on popup image click) and unfortunately, there is no way to implement this idea since the popup is placed in an iframe. I am really sorry!

If you have any questions left or any assistance is needed, just let us know. We’ll be happy to help :wink:

Not a problem. The top of the portfolio page has a link to my BlendSwap account with all the same info. Thank you!

Great, you’re alwayes welcome :wink:
