Some features requests for LayTheme

[arminunruh]

i just released a lightbox addon update. it covers all your requests except zooming by pinching on phone.

Images from projects appear/populate instantly from a project when you click on a Tag Bubble.

i think i wont code this feature sorry

Hi Armin, thanks for working on these, much appreciated!

Is this one possible as well:

Search bar:

The 'Search bar' finds images based on their caption and opens in a lightbox.

With the pinch/zoom on mobiles, could this be an option where people could check a box as to whether to activate it or not? This is really important for a website I am working on due to the details in some of their horizontal images.

also is there something you need to activate to get the media library captions to show on the lightbox? I uploaded a new image into media > library > typed in title into caption box > save but no caption appears?

thanks again for your hard work, sorry if I'm being difficult! it's just this website is so close to being perfect, just need these few more options.

Hi @arminunruh any feedback if you have a moment?

I understand the pinch/zoom is probably just not going to happen with lightboxes on mobiles so I'll disable this for mobiles to allow for zooming.

Be great if the Search function could be enhanced to display single images rather than just projects.

Also, I'll retry the media library captions fix, perhaps I need to disable a plugin.

not sure if this is a feature that many people would use, i think for now there are many other more important features i should work on

Oh really?
I thought this works.

Make sure you've updated your lightbox addon/plugin and lay theme.
In the gridder, double click the image to edit it and make sure it really has a caption.
also make sure to disable any caching plugins.

lmk if that worked

@arminunruh Cheers yeah working now.

Also, I've decided to rework the way I am displaying images so I won't keep asking about the pinch/zoom on mobile! I am now going to give each image it's own project page this will solve lots of issues. The filter works the way I need it to now, I can utilise the Search function now too (I am having an issue with this but I will open a new topic for it) and by disabling the lightbox on mobile and change some of the header code it lets the user zoom into the images so they can see more details. Thanks again for helping me out Armin, Laytheme is so great and keeps getting better and better!

im glad it is working out for you!
