Uncaught TypeError: data[option] is not a function bootstrap.js:1215

Question

I'm getting the following error using the bootstrap lightbox from here:

Uncaught TypeError: data[option] is not a function bootstrap.js:1215

I've copied all files directory and haven't altered any parameters.

This is my code:

JS Linking:

Gallery:

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-12">
      <h1 class="page-header">Portfolio</h1>
    </div><?php
         $images = glob($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/img/gallery/*.{jpg,png,gif}', GLOB_BRACE);
         $imageCount = count($images);
          if($imageCount == 0) {
             echo "There are currently no images in this gallery.";
             }
             else if($imageCount !== 0) {
             $counter = 1;
         foreach($images as $image) {
          echo "<div class='col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-xs-6 thumb'> \n\r";
         echo "<a data-toggle='lightbox' data-title='A random title' data-footer='A custom footer text' href='http://img.example.com/gallery/".basename($image)."' class='thumbnail'><img src='http://img.example.com/gallery/thumb.php?src=" . basename($image) . "&w=400&h=300&a=c' alt='Jolly Roger PCS Gallery Image' title='One Call Does It All' class='img-responsive'></a> \n\r";
         echo "</div> \n\r \n\r \r\n";
         }
       }
    ?>
  </div>
</div>

And the output of the gallery script for an image:

<div class='col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-xs-6 thumb'> 

<a data-toggle='lightbox' data-title='A random title' data-footer='A custom footer text' href='http://img.example.com/gallery/10177464_1495074060751956_373648277891171115_n.jpg' class='thumbnail'><img src='http://img.example.com/gallery/thumb.php?src=10177464_1495074060751956_373648277891171115_n.jpg&w=400&h=300&a=c' alt='Jolly Roger PCS Gallery Image' title='One Call Does It All' class='img-responsive'></a> 

</div> 

And finally the JS at the end of page:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on('click', '[data-toggle="lightbox"]', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).ekkoLightbox();
});
        </script>

The script is working to an extent. When I click a thumbnail image the lightbox fires and the loading image appears, but the full size image of the icon never does.

The data-types all appear to be in the right spot so I don't know what is causing this error. I tried a search and didn't come up with any results.

Answer 1

The reason behind the error is incompatibility between versions of bootstrap and bootstrap lightbox plugin.

Check working demo here:

$(document).on('click', '[data-toggle="lightbox"]', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    $(this).ekkoLightbox();
});

If you are using bootstrap version 3.x.x then include the following assets:

If you are using bootstrap version 4.x.x then include the following assets:
