Automatic Activation

SLB automatically activates links in recognized content areas.

The following content areas are supported by default:

• Posts/Pages (including custom post types)
• Widgets
• Menus

Support for additional content areas can be enabled via extensions:

• WooCommerce Extension - Adds support for WooCommerce product content areas (product gallery, short description, etc.).
• Request support for a content area - Support for content areas is driven my your suggestions.

Manual Activation

Other content areas can be activated using SLB's slb_activate() template tag.

Simply pass the content to slb_activate() and it will process and return the activated content:

$content = 'content with links and stuff to activate';
if ( function_exists('slb_activate') ) {
	$content = slb_activate($content);
}
echo $content;

Parameters

These are the parameters that can be passed to slb_activate()

• $content (string) Content containing links to be activated
• $group (string) Name of group to add activate links to in lightbox (e.g. for slideshows)
  • Note: Grouping must be enabled in SLB's admin settings for this parameter to have any effect.

Examples

Display post thumbnail in lightbox

📒 Note: Code should be added to a theme's post loop.

// Link post thumbnail to full-size image.
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
	$thumbnail = [
		// URI of full-size post thumbnail image.
		'uri' => get_the_post_thumbnail_url( null, 'full' ),
		// HTML to display post thumbnail.
		'img' => get_the_post_thumbnail(),
	];
	// Build thumbnail link.
	$thumbnail['link'] = sprintf( '<a href="%s">%s</a>', esc_attr( $thumbnail['uri'] ), $thumbnail['img'] );

	// Display full-size image in lightbox when clicked.
	if ( function_exists( 'slb_activate' ) ) {
		$thumbnail['link'] = slb_activate( $thumbnail['link'] );
	}

	// Display post thumbnail.
	echo $thumbnail['link'];
}
