Social Sharing in Lightbox

Robo Gallery allows you to enable social sharing buttons directly inside the lightbox view. This lets visitors share individual images to social media platforms without leaving your website.

Social sharing works in both:

• Classic Gallery (Version 3)
• Fusion Gallery (Version 5)

Classic Version (V3) – Social Buttons#

In the Classic gallery, social sharing is configured inside the Lightbox → Social Buttons tab.

Available Social Platforms#

You can individually enable or disable:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Google+
• Pinterest

Simply toggle the switch to Show or Hide for each platform.

How It Works#

When enabled:

• Social icons appear inside the lightbox
• Users can share the currently opened image
• Each image is shared individually
• Deep linking (if enabled) allows linking directly to specific images

Fusion Version (V5) – Social Sharing#

In Fusion Grid, social sharing is configured inside:

Lightbox → Social Buttons

Features in Fusion Version#

Fusion provides:

• Modern lightbox UI
• Integrated share buttons
• Improved mobile behavior
• Better animation and interaction support

Social buttons appear directly inside the lightbox interface and adapt automatically to screen size.

Best Practices#

✅ When to Enable Social Sharing#

Enable social sharing if:

• You run a photography portfolio
• You publish visual content (design, art, products)
• You want users to promote your images
• You use Pinterest for traffic generation

❌ When You May Disable It#

Disable social sharing if:

• The gallery is private
• Images are client-only
• You want minimal UI inside the lightbox

Important Notes#

• Social sharing works per image
• Each image can still have its own link or video
• Lightbox remains active even when social sharing is disabled
• Deep linking improves share accuracy

You can freely mix:

• Lightbox images
• Linked images
• YouTube/Vimeo video links
• Social sharing enabled items

All inside one gallery.

Summary#

Robo Gallery makes it easy to:

• Enable social sharing per gallery
• Control individual social networks
• Keep full control over lightbox UI
• Maintain responsive behavior in both Classic and Fusion versions

Whether you’re showcasing a portfolio or building visual marketing pages — social sharing inside lightbox adds an extra engagement layer without affecting performance.
