Image plugin suggestion ?

  • Image plugin suggestion ?

    • Hi all

      I'm trying to find a plugin/module that can generate a lightbox from a thumbnail image loaded in a module position ?

      I've tried using Simple Image Gallery which worked great if used in an article, but wouldn't work if placed in a module position ?

      I have a few modules with text and a thumbnail, I'd like for the user to be able to click the thumbnail and then see a larger image. Ideally in a lightbox format, rather than generating a new page.

      Any suggestions ?

      Cheers

    • Thanks for your reply however I understand it's not possible to get plugins to work in modules. Which is kinda-crazy given that Joomla is based around modules, but there we go !

      www.rocketwerx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1898 - explains more.

      This would infer that any other lightbox "application" would suffer from the same issue. Has anyone been able to load any form of gallery into a module position ?

      Cheers

      BTW - needs to be for Joomla 1.5.6

    • Ok found the fix real quick .. use the JCE image editor and set "Relationship page to target" to Lightbox in the Adv Settings tab.

      Having one of those days !
