How to have ARI Fancy Lightbox link slider images in lightbox?

Hi,

I’ve disabled the theme lightbox and enabled ARI Fancy Lightbox on a child virtue theme.

I’m trying to use other third party lightboxes with the virtue theme because I need a lightbox that supports zooming and the built-in theme lightbox does not. I’ve got the ARI Fancy Lightbox working with the theme but it isn’t linking slider/carousel images together (with prev-next arrows) in the lightbox. Clicking on an image in a slider is opening that image in the lightbox but it’s not linking the other slides. So to view another slide I need to dismiss the lightbox, go to another slide in the slider and then click that image to load it into the lightbox.

Is there an easier way to allow the ARI Fancy Lightbox (or any other lightbox that supports zooming) to just work everywhere that the built-in lightbox works, linking all slider/carousel images into the same lightbox?

Here’s a link to one page where you can see what I’m talking about. You can click an image in the feature slider and it loads in the lightbox but there’s no prev-next arrow to flip through the rest. Same thing if you click on one of the carousel images.
