Lightbox not supported by CMS?

Hi there,

Question, is the native lightbox component not compatible with CMS ?
I successfully pulled the thumbnail images of my lightbox from a CMS collection but can’t pull it’s media picture from the same CMS ??

Help appreciate, as alwas

Hi Anthony,

At this time, the Lightbox element isn’t yet compatible with the CMS - however you can take a look at this topic:

Dynamic Lightbox with CMS Workaround - Works Perfectly

So, I just wanted to publicise this cos I know I struggled with it for a while and only just found out how to do it yesterday. There’s a way to get the lightbox working perfectly with dynamic images in the CMS (until Webflow release it - I suspect it’s just around the corner as part of the new asset manager???). This comes courtesy of @Kristian_Widjaja - this is the original post where I picked it up - List items in a Dynamic Collection? Lightbox with CMS? Embedded code? SEO? - #36 by jbleroux…

Additionally, feel free to cast your vote on the Webflow Wishlist for this feature request: Dynamic Lightbox with CMS Workaround - Works Perfectly

Hope this helps!
