Can you guys add this as an option to the video element in a future update of Enfold please? Thanks…
I use Smart Slider plugin to give me more options for videos…. it works well:

haha thanks, I must have been reading the release notes before my cappuccino…
(by the way, the release notes are showing up strange on Envato theme forest with html…) Or maybe that’s how it is supposed to be?
fixed: html markup warning in breadcrumb

RobMaybe push 4.7.7 with this quick update? And was the google maps update included in 4.7.6.? I don’t see it in the release notes?
Hi Yigit!
Thank you for the response! That makes sense and I now see the same behavior from other big websites. Looks like it’s another thing that Facebook needs to clean up…. when you have an evil empire there is much to do I guess…. ;)
thanks and hope you are well,
rob
Thanks Nikko and good to see you again. As a long-time Enfold user I thought for sure this functionality already existed but perhaps I was thinking of the full width button… paging Günter! haha
Thanks and hope to see it as a feature in the future.

It’s set to “minimal black” on that page but I don’t see any controls appearing and there is no sound toggle.
For those of us monitoring this thread who are concerned about our own sites… Gunter et al, is this impacting all Enfold installations or only the ones where performance settings are turned on? So far I have not received an email from my hosting provider but want to make sure that does not happen.
Thanks!
Newer pages look much better… feel like i have to add this since that page is so old! ;)

Hi Yigit, do you think 4.7.2. will come out this week? And if I don’t have a Timeline page, am I ok to update now?
Seems to be running fine on my staging site but I haven’t done a lot of editing nor have I visited every page.
Thanks!What does this error do to your site? Does it go down? I am trying to figure out how severe it is as I would like to update to 4.7.1 to solve the social icon issue.
Hey Yigit, I don’t see 4.7.1 coming up under Enfold –> Update or under Dashboard –> Updates… is it in some sort of queue?
Thanks!
RobThank you so much!! Lightbox now works perfectly on desktop and mobile. Thank you!!
Excellent support is the main reason I have been using Enfold for so many years now. You’re all invited to the next premiere party!
OK to close ticket.
Thanks and best,
RobHi 007, my channel is set up this way and rel=0 works fine without lightbox element enabled. I am guessing it’s something with the coding where rel=0 isn’t being handed off to the Youtube API.
Thanks
Thanks 007…. I don’t think my abilities are there yet…. hoping that I can just get the new video element working… so far the new one is great, just hoping I can get the rel=0 to work.
Thanks!
RobYigit! Good to hear from you again!
Thanks much – you are right, I flushed browser and it works! I can’t believe after all these years that still trips me up haha. :)
Any ideas on the rel=0 (related videos only for your own channel)?
Thanks!!
RobBad news… when I push this from staging (no caching) to production (WP Engine server side caching) the video does not play… when you click ‘play’ it does not launch the lightbox.
Here’s a page I created for you where you can see behavior and any console errors if that helps:

Thanks,
RobHi Hi Günte & Ismael,
I was excited to download and install the new Enfold version which allows desktop lightboxes! Thank you!
I learned it is definitely important to use the specific video url format Ismael listed above. I did notice that the rel=0 parameter, which causes Youtube to only show related videos from your own channel when user pauses or ends video, is not working. Is that being passed to Youtube?
format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwKzLYeeOMs?rel=0Thanks,
RobHi Günter,
Perhaps it is… I have iPhone, and the video element launches perfectly in a lightbox.
Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.Best regards,
RobHi Gunter!
Here’s a support thread where we are discussing it:
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/open-youtube-video-in-lightbox-3/#post-1141911Basically, the Video element won’t launch lightbox for youtube on desktop, only on mobile, so you have to do a workaround using the photo element instead of video element, make a photo with a fake play button to tell people it’s a video, then do a custom link.
Seems like either having the video launch in lightbox on desktop as default or providing a check box option on the element would be a lot better?
Thanks much!
RobThat’s a lot of work just to get a lightbox… but thanks, I have taken this approach in the past and had forgotten it.
You have to:
1. Create image with play button
2. Insert via photo element with custom link
3. Code as display on desktop only
then
1. Insert video element
2. Code as mobile onlyGlad to hear from another thread that Gunter has added this to the future workflow…. given how pervasive video is now I would hope we can have an easier solution soon. Thanks for reminding me of this approach! OK to close thread.
Best,
RobIsmael,
That’s interesting – thanks… so we use an image element and then use a Youtube link. That does work – but I’m curious, why doesn’t this work on the video element?This seems like an odd workaround? Is there a way to get the “play” button to appear the entire time vs. just on hover… when people see the image they may not realize it’s a video.
And then on mobile, it just looks like a photo and you can’t tell it’s a video if you click.. what do you recommend? Use photo element with link for desktop and use video element with link for mobile? It would be so wonderful if video element would just do this… ;) Or is there another solution?
Thanks!!!
Rob
