Hi Elements weavers,

I am just creating a new template. The template is working extensively with the Elements CMS. I am pulling out the photos of a product from the CMS and it works (see below)

So far so good. When I am now enabling a Lightbox for the image I am getting an “empty” result in the Lightbox.

When I do the same with a picture from the resources it is working. Any ideas from your side what I am doing wrong? Or is it a bug?

Impossible to say what the issue is without seeing the code or project…

Ah yes, sorry, that is actually a bug and we have a ticket open to get it fixed.

Will get the fix in for the next update!

We didn’t manage to get to this one in time, unfortunately. I’ll try and prioritise this so it makes it in to the next release!
