Hey all.

I’m integrating EE into a new project.

I’ve got a 6 page website that’s fairly straight forward in terms of content that needs to be managed ( text areas, headlines ect..)

here’s the tricky part, I’m using lightbox on each page so i assume each page/weblog will have to use its own lightbox template/include file ??

Or can i have a global template/include that, respective of which page/weblog is calling it shows a lightbox slideshow ?

And on a side note to be able to manage images does one just create a custom weblog field that allows users to upload imagery>?

That’s all

You probably won’t need 6 separate templates, no, but it’ll depend on your setup. Post a few lines of a typical template here, so we can see how you’re making use of it.

still in the planning stage at the moment, thought i’d ask before diving into the code. 😊

Right. The question is, how do you pass the appropriate images to Lightbox? An XML file? Anyway, you should be able to get away with a single template, the rest changing as needed. But, as I’ve said, would need to see some code first.

I have worked with Lightbox before, I seem to remember it was basically a question of including lightbox.js and giving the correct class name to the <img> tag. Not exactly rocket science, at any rate.

awesome Ingmar - thanks for the help!
