Problem:
How to have images open in a lightbox when clicked?
Solution:
Toolset doesn't include a lightbox itself, but it should be possible to make it work with the lightbox library of your choice.
Normally it is just a question of ensuring the markup for the image matches the requirements of the lightbox library.
It will normally need the image tag to be wrapped in a link where the href is the image URL, something like
<a href="[types field='asset' output='raw'][/types]">[types field='asset' title='%%TITLE%%' alt='%%ALT%%' size='thumbnail' resize='proportional'][/types]</a>
You will probably need to add some custom classes to trigger the lightbox functionality.

Hello,
I have a post type that has additional assets fields (they are images).
I have created a view: Research, Additional assets ordered by post date, descending
And I have created a content template that includes [wpv-view name="additional-research-assets"]
It is showing the images on the related posts as expected.
My question is: how do I create a link to each asset (image) that opens up in a lightbox or something similar?
Some history: this is a migration and thousands of these images are already set up this way. You can see in the screenshots that the images are showing up correctly. I just need a link wrapped around each one that pops the original image up in a lightbox.
