What might be the Best

JWebStuff · 03-28-2011

Paul - yours is the first gallery I've seen with a large number of photos.
Is it fairly easy to add new photos to an existing gallery like this? I have
a large gallery and need to add 1 or 2 pictures to it each month. I've stuck
with the NOF gallery as adding photos is an easy process but would love to
use something like VLB.
Thanks,
Janice

Easiest way to track them down (there are several) is to do a forum search for 'lightbox' and/or search for posts by Thomas Frei-Herrmann

I guess the easiest way would be to use VLB to create the gallery page and call that into NOF as an iFrame. That way you could just add your new images, run VLB to generate the new page and then manually upload the 2 new thumbs, 2 new images and the new VLB index page.

Have a look at his help site.
Take a pic, lots of choice there for all sorts of mutlimedia /galleries/ overlib .....
You have to use the translation button at the bottom of the pages ....

Thanks Mia...I knew someone would know where it was!

And the best of all, his tuts are very good, but if you have problems with the "funny" english translation, Tommy is very smart and helpfull.
You may ask for further explanations, I know, if he can spare some time, he will help, ne doubt about it....

Just to be sure I am assuming there is a difference between light box and visual lightbox???

**mia** · 03-28-2011

There are all sorts of different lightboxes..
Lightbox, lytebox, fancy zoom, visual lightbox....
Just have a look at Tommy's list.
