how to add images dynamically in lightbox

Question

I have already searched and went through the answer which was provided here lightbox 2: how to add dynamically images via javascript but it is not working for me. Can anyone give me an example of a piece of code which is working fine when adding images in lightbox. I am using lokesh lightbox.

Answer 1

I use this simple solution for your ask.

Requeriments:

• Basic Html
• Basic CSS
• Basic Js
• Bootstrap
• jQuery

Sample Html code:

<div class="container"> <!-- image area container -->
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"> <!-- Duplicate this div and change , or generate from each/loop with dynamic content  -->
<a href="#" class="thumbnail" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#lightbox"> 
<img src="http://myexample.org/uploads/images/test.jpg" alt="..."> <!-- change just image url and alt attribute -->
</a>
</div>
</div>
<!-- lightbox div -->
<div id="lightbox" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<button type="button" class="close hidden" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-body">
<img src="" alt="" /> <!-- this IMG tag receives dynamic image data/info -->
</div>
</div>
</div>

CSS Sample:

body {
padding: 30px 0px;
}
#lightbox .modal-content {
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;   
}
#lightbox .close {
opacity: 1;
color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
background-color: rgb(25, 25, 25);
padding: 5px 8px;
border-radius: 30px;
border: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 255);
position: absolute;
top: -15px;
right: -55px;
z-index:1032;
}

** JS Sample ***

$(document).ready(function() {

// Change image in lightbox based on click event
var $lightbox = $('#lightbox');
$('[data-target="#lightbox"]').on('click', function(event) {
var $img = $(this).find('img'), 
src = $img.attr('src'),
alt = $img.attr('alt'),
css = {
'maxWidth': $(window).width() - 100,
'maxHeight': $(window).height() - 100
};

// find and change attributes
$lightbox.find('.close').addClass('hidden');
$lightbox.find('img').attr('src', src);
$lightbox.find('img').attr('alt', alt);
$lightbox.find('img').css(css);
});

// show modal as lightbox with clicked image
$lightbox.on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
var $img = $lightbox.find('img');
$lightbox.find('.modal-dialog').css({'width': $img.width()});
$lightbox.find('.close').removeClass('hidden');
});
});

I hope that helps for you needs.

Best regards.
