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)

found it
in the google map page you can use the share button which returns a working frame

<iframe src=" www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!...2sde!4v1441005330122 " width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen>

Great! I guess I should have figured that out myself...

Thank you very much for your support.
