The workaround for using CMS collections with the native lightbox in Webflow can be extremely daunting for users who don't know code. Plus the setup is really long for something that can essentially be done very easily with the right tools.

Well in this project we are looking at Magnific Popup. A JQuery plugin to make using lightbox extremely easy. It requires hardly any custom code to get what you want. And the best part about it is you don't have to sacrifice any design features in Webflow. 

AWESOME! Check out the walk-through at the bottom if the page to get started using Magnific Popup with Dynamic Collections in your Webflow Project.

With the help of javascript, you can manipulate the lightbox to be editable from the CMS

This demo shows how to use the Fancybox 3 plugin. It's slightly different to the lightbox - and I've set it up to show captions for CMS galleries which the Webflow lightbox doesn't do yet.

CMS Lightbox + Captions

Janne Parri

Here is a custom Webflow CMS powered lightbox system. Hopefully you like it. This project is built using Finsweets slider component and a bit of custom code.

Custom CMS Lightbox

Media Studio Hong Kong

The native Webflow lightbox component can be quite convenient to use, but it doesn't always play nice with the Webflow CMS.
We wrote a tiny and easily-implementable script that combines both components.

Instructions:
Create your nested collection with lightboxes, check "link with other lightboxes" and put "$" as the group name. Then, replace "collection-item" in the script with the class name you decided to give your collection item.

Webflow Lightbox CMS with Image Gallery

Philipp Roth

As we all know Webflow offers a Lightbox solution for CMS collections supporting multi-image fields as well as video-link fields. But the video-link field has a major API bug: Webflow won't show the video in the lightbox if you add the video-link via the API (e.g. from Airtable). This can be frustrating!

Well here ist a simple solution using the Webflow native lightbox without any external script to control the video.

Note: This solution is based on the sandbox project from samliew and the discussion in the Webflow Forum on this topic
