Is there a way to do this in salient.I want to be able to make a link from an image or button to trigger a lightbox image gallery.
Click on "show pictures" button to see the effect.

Ticksy apparently is not letting me enter an anchor even in a pre tag so the only way you can see that is to inspect the source - check this instead: http://pastebin.com/5Uxqttx5
Ok I tested it out and it works for 1 image and 1 video. How do I get the gallery going? With more than one image? Do I need another app plugin like next gen?
Or If there was a way or an option to use text or image instead of just having the gallery pop up would be great. When using "edit image gallery"
The image gallery is what I want but there is no visible clue to the visitor that you can click on the image to see full screen. You just have the arrows.
Maybe have a descriptive text option that can go underneath the gallery saying "view fullscreen" or give us an option to put what ever we want.
You could also wrap any text you want in the link that will open the gallery up - if you want to provide me a URL to the page you're doing this on and a login I'd be glad to set that up for as an example :)
If you would perfer to have all this functionality in an interface, using a plugin like nextGen would probably be the best bet though.
I've tried to make this work and ran into two small problems.
1) I cannot get the accent-color to work. I changed your code that said "extra-color-3" to "accent-color" and it did not show the color I chose for the accent color. It shows the green / turquoise color that was the original accent color.
You can see at the top I have a button with an icon that works great. However, it just links directly to the Video. I'm trying to make it open the video in a light box.
You can see my attempts at the bottom. I can open in a light box but I can't use the correct Accent Color. If I use one of the extra colors it will work but it will not work if I specify the accent color.
I also tried to specify an icon. That seems to break the button all together.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to build a button with an icon from the Nectar shortcodes that will open a YouTube video in a lightbox.
Hey Trey!
Add this into the text tab on your editor :)

Any idea how I could fix those two small issues?
Thanks in advance.

Hey Tracy!
1: Please provide url so we can take a look at the css. Also details to what you added in there .
2: The new theme version has a new button with icons so you can do it simply via the shortcode generator.
Thanks

Hey Tracy! The correct HTML to add a button with an icon that links to a video would be:

Thank you very much. That works perfectly!
