Mobile-friendly Lightbox Slideshow In jQuery

A fully responsive, mobile-friendly, touch-enabled lightbox slideshow (gallery lightbox) written in jQuery.

It uses js-cookies plugin to remember the user's choice so that the lightbox slideshow will no longer be triggered the next time the user visits or refreshes the page when all the content is browsed.

In addition, the lightbox slideshow uses mattbryson's jQuery touchSwipe plugin to provide basic touch support for mobile users.

How to use it:

1. Load the latest jQuery library and other resources in the document.

<!-- jQuery -->
<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<!-- Bundled JS & CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" />
<!-- With Cookies -->
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
<!-- Without Cookies -->
<script src="js/main-no-cookie.js"></script>

2. Add your content to the lightbox slideshow and make it hidden until the plugin is initialized.

<div class="ph-slideshow-container" style="display:none;">
  <div class="ph-slideshow">
    <div class="ph-slide visible" id="ph-slide-1">
      <div class="ph-slide-image" style="background-image: url(1.jpg);"></div>
      <div class="ph-slide-content">
        <div class="ph-slide-content-inner">
          <h6>Slide 1</h6>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="slide-number">1 of X</div>
    </div>
    <div class="ph-slide" id="ph-slide-2">
      <div class="ph-slide-image" style="background-image: url(2.jpg);"></div>
      <div class="ph-slide-content">
        <div class="ph-slide-content-inner">
          <h6>Slide 2</h6>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="slide-number">2 of X</div>
    </div>
    <div class="ph-slide" id="ph-slide-3">
      <div class="ph-slide-image" style="background-image: url(3.jpg);"></div>
      <div class="ph-slide-content">
        <div class="ph-slide-content-inner">
          <h6>Slide 3</h6>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="slide-number">3 of X</div>
    </div>

    <a class="prev">&laquo;</a>
    <a class="next">&raquo;</a>
    <a class="close">X</a>
  </div>
</div>

3. Create a trigger link to toggle the lightbox slideshow manually.

<a href="#" class="newwebsitemodal2021">
  Re-open
</a>
