  Right now the portfolio carousel forces the user to click straight through to the portfolio item page. We would like to at least give the visitors the option of viewing the portfolio item in a larger format in a lightbox. This is a fairly standard option in nearly every theme out there. We blindly assumed this was possible when buying the theme.

  Could someone please let us know how to add this functionality?

  Hi

  In the thumbnail options on the portfolio item have you set the type to ‘Open thumbnail in lightbox’ ?

  Thanks for the quick reply Kyle. The issue isn’t that the functionality for the lightbox doesn’t exist it’s that I can’t have both options available on the thumbnail. Every other theme out there (at least 99%) have the ability to link to the lightbox image And to the portfolio item page. Yours seems to be locked down on either having one or the other. there is a big issue with that. If you want to showcase a larger version of the thumbnail through that link on the portfolio page or wherever you sacrifice the ability to link the user to the item page. You see the issue? Everyone else has gotten around this issue by allowing the template to have links to both a larger image AND the portfolio item’s page.

  My question is how do I accomplish this with your theme?

  Also, the lightbox functionality in your theme does not work.

  Yes I have seen other themes that have a zoom and link icon on the image hover, we didn’t want to do that with our theme as we didn’t like the look.

  Would you mind having it so the image links to Lightbox but the title links to the item page? If so I’ll try that for you

  Asking what the code is for the link? You mean for the lightbox?
