Hey,
I know there are already some posts, but I haven’t found a solution.
I know the lightbox API and the 3 commands:
wixWindow.openLightbox();
wixWindow.lightbox.getContext();
wixWindow.lightbox.close();
I built a custom form, where you can add up to 10 images.
After you click a send button, a lightbox opens that tells you “Please wait, image x/10 is uploading”.
Until now, I sent x with session, but some people didn’t get the session data??
So they had "Please wait, image NaN/NaN is uploading.
I need a way to send data without opening a new Lightbox.
Like you can do with postmessage. You can always send new values to the HTML.
Use the Storage for store the values and get it on LB open.
Hi there,
You can do that with wix-realtime APIs, when opening the lightbox, the default state should be a preloader, and the second state should be a progress bar with text elements.
Before opening the the lightbox, generate a random ID for the upload progress, then pass that ID to the lightbox data, then on the lightbox, get the ID then subscribe to its channel, and when you receive the payload message, update the count of the uploaded files.
You must publish the number of the uploaded files to the channel with the generated ID on the form page.
Hope this helps~!

Hey, thanks for the help.
It’s a good idea, but I don’t want to publish messanges, if the count-number changes.
