6,185 PointsLightbox plugin for FlexSlider?
Hi. Does anyone know how I can add lightbox functionality to a FlexSlider slide on my site?
So if I click on the image within a FlexSlider, it will open up a fullscreen lightbox slideshow.
Thanks.

6,185 PointsHi Jason. I have FlexSlider setup on my site and all working nicely. Now I want to be able to click on the slider and it will open up lightbox slider. So basically the image will be go fullscreen, the background black and I can scroll through the slideshow.

Or even a plugin that does both things you need, in one?

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Jon,
Can you give some more information on what you're trying to do?
Do you want your flexSlider slideshow to appear in a lightbox or are you saying that the image in one of your slides is itself a link to another slideshow and you want that slideshow to appear in a lightbox. Effectively a slideshow within a slideshow?
