Matt-W-Urst Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, It irritates me, that SqS prevents zooming via gesture on mobile devices for the 'Lightbox' function. Neither the image lightbox nor the gallery lightbox can be used to zoom the images on smartphones etc. 🤔 How can this be enabled, ideally via CSS?

I can give a test URL with Lightbox Studio where you try the zoom feature on the lightboxes. It supports all Image blocks, Gallery blocks and Gallery sections (including Slideshow layouts) Edited May 11 by Beyondspace BeyondSpace - Squarespace Website Developer 🖼️ Lightbox Studio (Enable Pinch/Zoom on lightbox, video lightbox and much more) 🗓️ Delivery Date Picker (Squarespace Date picker form field) 💫 Gallery block 7.1 workaround 🥳 No-code customisations for Squarespace (+100 Spark plugin customisations) 🥳 Freemium Squarespace Widget Templates (+1000 Elfsight Templates) If you find my answer useful, let's leave a like or upvote so others with the same issue can find their solution.

Gigio Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 It doesn't really make sense that Sqs would limit the Lightbox function where it seems it would be most needed however Lightbox Studio by Beyondspace is really excellent. Definitely worth the investment and the support they offer is exceptional! They are great to work with and have great offerings. Highly recommend! Beyondspace 1 Link to comment
Amocha Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Hey ! I just installed Lightbox Studio on my website as well. Works like a charm and got great support via chat directly. You can even preview the results through their page: https://beyondspace-showcase.squarespace.com/lightbox-studio/ Edited July 9 by Amocha miserytakeme and Beyondspace 2 Link to comment
Gigio Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 BeyondSpace has a wide array of offerings and their Lightbox Studio has a lot of options for customizing the lightbox experience. Really great. https://www.beyondspace.studio/lightbox-studio Beyondspace and miserytakeme 2 Link to comment
miserytakeme Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Also here to recommend Beyondspace's Studio Lightbox plugin - it is absolutely incredible! Always baffled me that Squarespace does not natively support these intuitive and basically universal features, I was getting really frustrated with the lack of zoomable lightboxes and the fact that you can't have both video and photos in the same gallery without being a Squarespace Circle member - this fixed both of these issues for me in one go. I'm on a bit of a personal crusade to help out as many people as I can by recommending this plugin because this has been a personal issue for YEARS As a graphic designer / freelance artist it has drastically improved the quality of life for my website, you can see how it's been implemented on this page if you're interested: https://miserytakeme.design/portfolio/cover-art Beyondspace were really helpful in getting it set up, so much so that they actually added video support at my personal request! The plugin is super affordable for how much value it brings, I highly recommend it to any Squarespace user that has a focus on displaying any visual content, you can find it here: https://beyondspace-showcase.squarespace.com I hope you can get your issue sorted!
