Dear Sir or Madam,

 

Good afternoon,

On my website, I have designed several “station signs” that include small logo images. These signs are styled using custom CSS in the user.css file of my Cassiopeia copy-template.

I’m also using JCE Mediabox on my site. However, I’ve noticed that a magnifying glass icon (lightbox effect) appears on these small logo images, which is not desirable in this specific use case.

For the rest of the photos on my website – such as those in photo galleries – I do want to keep the lightbox functionality.

 

My question is:

How can I disable the magnifying glass/lightbox effect for only certain images, for example by assigning a CSS class like .no-lightbox?

To test this, I temporarily disabled the Mediabox plugin and noticed something interesting:

A CK photo gallery on my site (CK slideshow) started playing automatically as expected.

When the JCE Mediabox is enabled, this automatic slideshow no longer works.

Could you explain why this happens, and whether there’s a way to allow both to function correctly side by side?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards,

When inserting the bls-Logo or a station-sign, then deactivate the JCEMediaboxPopup-Option in the Popups-Tab. 

So it will be a standard image. No magnifying glass and no lightbox link.

You may have JCE MediaBox set as the default Popups type in the Image Manager Extended parameters, so all images you are inserting are being inserted as popup images.

As @UteS has highlighted, you will need to disable the option in the Popups tab when inserting an image that you do not want to be processed as a popup.

Also, you appear to have more than one "lightbox" script active on the page - JCE MediaBox and MediaBox CS - so this may cause a conflict in some situations.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your help.

After further testing, it turns out the magnifying glass effect was caused by another plugin (CK Mediabox), not JCE MediaBox.

So the issue was not related to JCE.

You can consider this case resolved.

Best regards,

Willem J. Steen
