I created a gallery from a dataset.I am trying to create code that will open up a lightbox whenever an item in that gallery is selected. Also I would like to know how to send text from the same dataset into the lightbox to be displayed.

Hey Kamoi

Sending text to a lightbox is done by adding it as an object to the call

Some basic code:

//Site Code
 let dataObj = {
"text1": "Some Text",
"text2": variable

}
 wixWindow.openLightbox("LightboxName", dataObj);

On the lightbox you would then read that with getContext()

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

$w.onReady(function () {
 let context = wixWindow.lightbox.getContext();
 $w('Element').text = context.text1
 $w('Element').text = context.text2
})

Thank you very much.

How do I send information from the item selected from the gallery into the lightbox. Would the getCurrentItem function work

I believe it should work
