Enable or disable overlay render for a hypertext link

Set a text hyperlink to open linked media in a full-screen overlay instead of navigating away.

Written by Troy Villasanta

Overlay, lightbox, and modal window allow website creators to add an interaction and additional channel to provide more information about a current render without scrolling or navigating away from the current context. They are context boxes that pop up on top of the source content, hypertext, or page, which are then rendered below a translucent shade to highlight the pop - up content box.

Different media can be rendered as an overlay from your Zoomforth site! A video playback window pops up when you click a video tile. An image expansion is rendered for some image tiles when set up to do so. Other media can be rendered in an overlay from a hypertext-like HTML package, PDF, etc.

To enable/disable media overlay render from a hypertext:

  1. Navigate to and select the target text in the tile or section.

  2. Click the Edit Link button that pops up after you highlight the text.

  3. Select the Expand Media button from the Create Link section in the left editing pane.

  4. Click Select file and choose the target media you wish to render in an overlay.

  5. Click OK and Save.
