Cannot open Google Maps links in lightbox
Hi,
I am having problems to open links to Google Maps in a lightbox using Mediabox CK. I am using a link like:
<a href=" goo.gl/maps/jsWJZ " rel="lightbox">...
If the link is clicked in Firefox or Chrome, the lightbox is all black. In Internet Explorer a message is displayed that "this content cannot be displayed in a frame". Any workarounds?
Best regards
cme

I have just tested in a iframe, into the body of a page. It does not work
The problem is not coming from the Mediabox, but from google
You must try to find how to include a google map into an iframe (seems to need an API key)
