I'm hoping c/w come back on soon but in the mean time:

I need some help with lightboxes. I've got the thumbnail images set up but I can't seem to find any working code to actually get the lightboxes working . Any suggestions?

You can download the code from the lightbox web site:
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

If it's not working for you, it's probably not installed correctly. Read over the instructions and try again. If you still can't get it, post back here with some more details (and maybe even a link!)

Hi there. Once you have copied the required files into your folder, you must attach the reuired scripts and css in your header:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/lightbox.css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects,builder"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lightbox.js"></script>

Make sure the href point to where you have saved the lightbox files. To make life easy, just save all the lightbox folders "images", "scripts" and "css" into the folder where you have your gallery.

Then in the thumbnail link just add

rel="lightbox[group-name-of-your-choice]"

A common link would look like this:

<a href="slides/01.jpg" rel="lightbox[courtney]"><img alt="Courtney House" src="thumbnails/01.jpg" width="100" height="74" /><br />Courtney House</a>

I found the lightbox scripts on huddled together, it's possible I didn't install them correctly, but I'll try again.

I'm positive I have that code right though. Hmmmm...

It's probably something stupid that I missed, I'll keep searching.

EDIT

I've got all my scripts loaded to the site, I'm positive. They are all in the public_ftp folder; but I remember this is one of my idiot-issues I had with loading spry. That is where they are supposed to be right?

Anyway I've got my scripts at the top of my page. Then I've got my links all set up properly
<a href=".../images/.../ducks.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img alt="ducks" src=".../images/.../ducks.jpg" width="100" height="74" /><br />The Ducks</a>

- I chose not to do group names for simplicity's sake (at least for now) I'm only going to be placing one gallery on this site.

For right now nothing is happening when I click on the thumbnail.

It's working perfectly in live-view (dw) so theoretically it should be working perfectly on the site... practically it is NOT.

All relevant files have been loaded to the site & are in the correct locations.

I'm an idiot.

I got it working

Thanks for the help guys. It looks amazing!!

[TechGuy]

Glad to hear it! What did it end up being?

I had uploaded the scripts, but my FTP missed 3 of them & I hadn't noticed >. Should have been one of the first thing I checked (and of course it was) but I just didn't put 2 and 2 together.

So pleased it is working

Me too! Thanks for reporting back.
