Frequently Asked Questions
Lightbox Content Popup 6.0 supports Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6 with PHP 8.0 or newer.
Joomla 3 is not supported. Joomla 3 sites must continue using the legacy 5.x package.
No. Version 6.0 is built with vanilla JavaScript and modern CSS.
The package contains no jQuery, FancyBox, animate.css, legacy sprites, or related compatibility code.
Joomla Articles automatically creates cards from selected categories and opens prepared article content.
Manual Cards lets you build each card with its own image, caption, content type, and popup content.
Manual Cards can display formatted HTML, YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, Google Maps, or an iframe URL.
Use formatted HTML for product details, staff profiles, service descriptions, portfolios, and promotional content.
Yes. The popup uses the Full Article Image when available and falls back to the Intro Image.
It renders the prepared intro text and full text, including supported Joomla content-plugin output.
Choose Responsive Grid, Horizontal Row, or Vertical Stack.
The grid adapts from multiple desktop columns to two tablet columns and one phone column. The row auto-fits cards without a scrollbar, then wraps on tablets and stacks on phones.
Card themes are Light, Dark, Glass, and Brand. Lightbox themes are Light, Dark, and Brand.
Opening effects are Zoom, Fade, and Slide up. Browser reduced-motion preferences are respected automatically.
Yes. Set the desktop width from 320 to 1200 pixels and maximum height from 240 to 900 pixels.
The popup automatically shrinks to remain inside smaller viewports. Long content scrolls inside the popup instead of overflowing the screen.
Yes. Choose Popup top-right or Window top-right under the Lightbox tab.
The window option uses a larger 48-pixel control placed inside the browser safe area.
Yes. Enable Shareable URL hash to create an address such as #lightbox-189-2.
Opening that URL automatically opens the matching item. Closing the popup restores the original URL without changing the page scroll position.
The remote website may block iframe embedding using X-Frame-Options or Content-Security-Policy headers.
This is a security policy controlled by the remote site and cannot be bypassed by the module.
Use a complete public video page URL. The module converts supported URLs into responsive embeds.
Private, age-restricted, region-restricted, removed, or embedding-disabled videos may not play inside an iframe.
No. Version 6.0 locks the page at its current position and compensates for the missing browser scrollbar to prevent layout movement.
Closing restores the exact horizontal and vertical position and returns keyboard focus to the card that opened the popup.
When Keyboard navigation is enabled, Left Arrow and Right Arrow move between items and Escape closes the popup.
All icon-only controls include accessible labels and visible keyboard focus.
Yes. Configure card background, border, text colour, text size, weight, font family, and content padding.
The padding control supports linked or individual Top, Right, Bottom, and Left values with px, rem, em, or percent units.
Install version 6.0 over the existing module using Joomla's extension installer, then open and save each module instance after reviewing the new tabs.
Clear Joomla, template optimisation, CDN, and browser caches so old FancyBox files are no longer served.
Confirm that the selected media file exists and is a valid, readable image. Select it again in Media Manager after replacing a damaged upload.
Also clear Joomla image caches and any CDN or image-optimisation cache.
Yes. Every module instance has its own gallery options, navigation set, and generated URL hash.
Use different hash prefixes if another lightbox system on the same page uses a similar URL format.
