Images and Galleries

Printer-friendly version

So you have an image gallery on your site and you think it would be cool to show the images in a lightbox slideshow. What do you need?

Install Lightbox2
Configure permissions
go to
Site Configuration >> Lightbox2 >> Automatic Image handling: /admin/settings/lightbox2/automatic
Under "Image node settings" activate the handler you want to use
- Lightbox just shows the one image in an overlay
- Lightbox group gives << previous - next >> options (manual)
- Slideshow shows the group of images in a slideshow (of course) no need to hit "next" for the next picture. Settings under Slideshow (/admin/settings/lightbox2/slideshow)
Select image display and Image trigger size
