Lightbox and Jquery conflict . . .

I can add a Menu Builder menu to my RSD project. I can add a Wow Slider to my RSD project. All works fine on export, etc. So I know how to do this type of thing in RSD with no problem.

I used the same steps to add a Lightbox in RSD. This is how it is supposed to look (this page was done in RLM) . . .

http://www.brosepianoservice.com/sparky.html

The 3 photos in the gray box are a Lightbox. You click on one of the photos and it pops up full size and has a nice white frame and navigation controls, and it automatically goes to the next photo. Working as it should.

When I add that same code to an RSD project, when I export and open that page in a browser and click on a photo, the photo pops up, but it does NOT have the nice nice white frame and navigation controls, and it does not go the next photo. NOT working as it should.

After fiddling for quite awhile, and not getting it to work, I started suspecting that there might be a Jquery conflict or something. So . . . . on a hunch, I deleted this file: jquery-1.11.0.min in the js folder in the RSD project files. And guess what?!? The Lightbox worked perfectly. It would seem to confirm there's a conflict with the RSD jquery file and the Lightbox jquery files.

I'm really hoping there's a work around somehow or that this problem can be addressed in one of the next builds for RSD soon. I REALLY need lightbox functionality for my site.

And in the interest of helping make RSD be the best it can be, I have presented my findings here. Hope it helps!

Can you share a link?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Hey Eric . . . just signed up for Drop Box. I think I have it set up. Here's the link . . .

That's a quick test RSD file using the same Visual Lightbox files.

Let me know if that doesn't work for some reason.

Try placing your lightbox scripts in the footer box on the Settings tab.

I just created a quick sample website using Menu Builder and Lightbox and had no problems getting them to work together. All you need to do is paste in the Menu Builder markup into the Settings > Head area and the Lightbox markup into the Settings > Footer area and you are all set. This will remove any jQuery conflicts.
