I’ve just developed a photo gallery that uses lightbox for the presentation layer and the weblog module for uploading.
it’s so simple once you get your head around it.
Step one
>> Take your static HTML (page with lightbox code) and paste into a EE template
Step two
>> Create a custom weblog, with x amount of custom fields ( images you want )then publish.
Step three
>> Edit the EE template to call your weblog, and where the HTML is calling the lightbox rendered image, replace with your custom field name e.g
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="lightBox"}
<a href="http://{customFieldName}" title="LightBox Images">"]</a>
{/exp:weblog:entries weblog="lightBox"}Step four
>> edit your published weblog and upload a file. Once uploaded click the “Use URL” checkbox and close the pop up. Save and preview.
voilà!
You now have a simple manageable slide show that works with EE core and uses lightbox for the presentation layer.
Enjoy
