I would like to have video lightbox (vimeo or local video) effect instead of the current image lightbox when you click on the Portfolio Thumbnails Items (ie the Feature image on Portfolio post).

I’ve looked up your forum:

Is there a pop-up lightbox in the theme to open video popups?

Not sure how to implement that to replace the Feature Image..
Please help?

To manage this you will have to override the “ish_portolio.php” analogically to this:

Override shortcode template in a child theme

Now find the place where the links are output and update them accordingly. The only “hard thing” is that you will have to find a way from where to get the video link. It needs to be saved in the setting of the Portfolio Item. Maybe use the Custom Fields.

Then I change:
// LOOK FOR TEMPLATE IN THEME
$template = locate_template( $sc_filename );

to

// LOOK FOR TEMPLATE IN THEME
$template = locate_template( $this->theme_locate_path . ‘/’ . $this->SC_TEMPLATES_DIR . $sc_filename );

I’ve got Advanced Custom Fields installed, not sure how to add a field for it to take the video url (eg vimeo or youtube) for the video lightbox effect.

Please help? Cheers

The faetured image should not be replaced as the video cannot be used inside the porrtfolio grid. So there you need to have the image. However you can set the portfolio to open a lightbox containing your video.

Regarding the question where the “ish_portfolio.php” is, please read again our reply:

Override shortcode template in a child theme

The answer is:
\ishyoboy-no8-assets\ishyoboy-shortcodes\assets\backend\vc_extend\shortcodes_templates\ish_portfolio.php

Changing of the $template variable is not necessary anymore as it is part of the latest no8 version.

Cannot really say how to do it with ACF Plugin. Please check the documentation of the plugin. With the standard Custom fields it is something like:

<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'key', true); ?>

The example is based on this article:

Also I cannot find in the portfolio items the custom field. Do I have to add it in the ish_portfolio.php file?

EDIT: I’ve found the answer for my last question:
/plugins/ishyoboy-no8-assets/ishyoboy-cpt/assets/backend/cpt/portfolio-post.php
Modify this:
$supports = apply_filters( ‘ish_cpt_plugin_portfolio_post_type_supports’, array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’ ) );

to this:
$supports = apply_filters( ‘ish_cpt_plugin_portfolio_post_type_supports’, array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘comments’, ‘custom-fields’ ) );

Thanks

Regarding the “Custom Fields” there is a safer “child theme” solution:
