To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>

To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.

If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>


There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>

To add a lightbox slideshow to your images, add rel="lightshow[slideshowname][slide caption]" attribute to any link tag to activate the slideshow. For example:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightshow[show1]">image #3</a>


The title attribute in the link tag is optional. The addition of this attribute enables the display of a caption with the image displayed in the lightbox.

There are no limits to the number of slideshow image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each slideshow.

If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

<a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightshow[show1][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]'>image #1</a>

It's possible to show video content in the lightbox. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to lightvideo. It's possible to group videos and to control the size of the lightbox by setting the "width" and "height" properties. The properties can be configured like lightvideo[group|width:300px; height: 200px;][caption]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.

Basic example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo">Google video example - default size</a>

Controlling lightbox size example:
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo[group|width:400px; height:300px;][caption]">Google video example - custom size</a>

Supported video formats include asx, wmv, mov and swf. A number of online video providers are also supported, including YouTube and Google Video. For a full list of the current supported video providers please see the documentation on drupal.org.
