Utilizing a gallery field from ACF in WordPress, I aim to showcase all images as thumbnails with a Masonry layout. When an image is clicked, it should open a carousel within a modal and navigate directly to the corresponding slide.
The code below effectively displays the image thumbs:
<?php $galleryImages = get_field('image_gallery');
if ($galleryImages): ?>
<div id="image-gallery" style="margin: auto" class="grid" data-masonry='{ "itemSelector": ".grid-item", "columnWidth": ".grid-sizer", "gutter": 10, "fitWidth": "true" }'>
<div class="grid-sizer"></div>
<?php $slideNumber = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ( $galleryImages as $image ): ?>
<div class="grid-item">
<a href="#carousel-modal" data-toggle="modal" data-slide-to="<?php echo $slideNumber; ?>">
<img class="gallery" src="<?php echo $image['sizes']['medium']; ?>">
</a>
</div>
<?php
$slideNumber++;
endforeach; ?>
</div>
The modal carousel is successfully generated using this code:
<div class="modal fade" id="carousel-modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-lg" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner">
<?php $class = 'carousel-item active'; ?>
<?php foreach ( $galleryImages as $carouselSlide ): ?>
<div class="<?php echo $class; ?>">
<img class="d-block w-100" src="<?php echo $carouselSlide['sizes']['large']; ?>">
</div>
<?php $class = 'carousel-item';
endforeach; ?>
</div>
<a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carousel" role="button" data-slide="prev">
<span class="carousel-control-prev-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Previous</span>
</a>
<a class="carousel-control-next" href="#carousel" role="button" data-slide="next">
<span class="carousel-control-next-icon" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="sr-only">Next</span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
When clicking on an image, the carousel opens but doesn't start at the selected image, instead proceeding through its sequence. How can I ensure it opens at the right image?
I attempted adding data-target="#carousel" to the a surrounding the img, yet this didn't work as expected - it just darkened the screen upon click.
UPDATE: The same code functioned perfectly on another website. It seems like a Javascript issue, though my expertise in that area is limited. Any guidance on where to begin troubleshooting would be appreciated.
