Lightbox slides as navigation menus
Jul 24, 2015
I have created custom buttons that will allow a learner to view a section menu in a lightbox slide.
Variables and states are used to show which sections have been completed. I also want to allow users to click on a section title and jump to the scene/slide selected.
My intent is for the lightbox slide to close and the user to access the selected screen on the main page.
However when you click on the menu item within the lightbox, the jump screen loads within the lightbox.
How do I fix it?
thanks-
Claudine

Hi Claudine, you have to add an extra trigger to each of your sections titles. The trigger should be to close the lightbox when the user clicks on the section title. Note, the trigger in each case must come before the trigger that jumps to the selected slide.
The missing piece! Thank you!
Glad that Nancy was able to assist you here Claudine :)
Hi, I am having the same problem. I would like the lightbox slide to function as a navigation that can be opened from anywhere. However, I tried moving the order of the triggers up and down, and the lightbox still won't do what I want. Would greatly appreciate any help with this!
(This is a snippet so left/right nav buttons probably won't work all that well.)
On all of your buttons on the menu slide, once it encounters the jump trigger, it jumps to that slide, and stops executing the triggers in that list. The jump has to be last.
Hello Lindsay and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Looks like Walt has popped in to assist you here and trigger order is certainly important. You can read more about that here.

Hi Walt and Leslie, Thanks for your help. I got it work after I removed the trigger for adjusting the variable. Not quite sure why.
Glad to hear it Lindsay - thanks for popping in with an update.
I followed these instructions, but before between closing the lightbox and jumping to the selected slide, the original slide flashes quickly. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried reversing the trigger order, but to no avail.

Hi Ren,
Here is a screen recording of what the glitch looks like. I am also uploading a screenshot of the trigger panel. Thanks!

Thanks for that recording and screenshot, Kristin!
I can see the first 'Header 1: 40 pt. Fieldwork Geo Bold' slide flashing in between – sorry that's happening! I'm scratching my head, as your triggers look good!
Would you mind sharing a few slides with me for a closer look? You can send it privately by using this link. I'll delete it after troubleshooting!
