I am using the Portfolio Grid and have it set to display the featured image in the Lightbox. When it opens in the Lightbox, it shows the Post Title. Is it possible to also show the Post Excerpt?
The single page (Portfolio Item) has the sharing buttons at the bottom. But since I am only linking to the Lightbox and the user will never go to the single page, I would like to have sharing buttons in each grid entry. Is this possible?
Hey draig,
Could you please give us a link to your website, we need more context to be able to help you.
Best regards,
VictoriaI was asking the question in general… but I mocked up a page to show what I would like to do:
Page example #1When you click on an image, it opens the image in the lightbox. Along with the image, it also shows the Post Title. My question is, would it be possible to also show Post Excerpt.
For the second question, use this page:
Page example #2This example is using The Grid plugin. When you hover over the image, sharing icons become visible. I want to know if it is possible to have the Enfold sharing icons be on each grid item like in this example but using the Enfold Portfolio Grid (always on or hover is fine). I would prefer to just use Enfold elements as it makes the site simpler for the client.
Hi draig,
The second item will require extensive customization and if the solution is available via plugin, I would suggest you use that.
As for the first, if you want to show the content below image in a lightbox as well you can do that via JavaScript.Best regards,
VictoriaThanks for the reply…
I’ll use the plugin then… I was trying to keep the site simple and just stick to Enfold.
Hi,
Like I said :)

VictoriaOkay, here is some information in case anyone searching something similar finds this thread.
I am now using Content Views Pro plugin. With it I am able to have a grid with infinite scroll/load more (see closed thread Victoria linked to) and put sharing buttons on each grid entry. It is customizable enough to cover most needs yet still seems simple and not intimidating. It can handle custom fields in grid entries so I made a custom field using ACF and put the shortcode for the enfold sharing icons into that field and it displays nicely on each grid entry and is then consistent with all other Enfold pages.
And very importantly… It also easily allows one to create views which replace archive, author, single post etc pages. Most of the plugins and Enfold’s own grid elements, require one to edit php templates to make all those pages a consistent design. So for example, it is easy to make the category archive pages the same grid layout as the main blog grid.
This is the first website I have built using the Content Views Pro plugin, so I cannot comment on stability and long term viability, but I am pleased to have found it and so far it is working very well. Seems about ideal for a competent non-coder like myself.
