Lightbox Gallery
Clicking on any of the thumbnails brings that image into focus, and allows you to scroll through the
gallery at your leisure. Using the Lightbox scripts creates nice transition effects when loading and
scrolling through the images.

Will there be a show description statement on the course page under the description section in the courses?
Thanks.
First let me congratulate you for the wonderful plugin. I really appreciate all the hard work that went into this.
Thank you very much for making it.
I was just wondering if I would be possible for the thumbnail page be visible on the course page. Like, instead of it being a link where you click and then you go into the gallery, have the gallery thumbnail appear like a image in a Label would.
This way the user could view all the thumbnails from the course page and click on the desired image from the page.
I'm not sure I made myself clear...
Thank you once again,
Joao
I was wondering if there's any way to add links to images in the gallery? What we're looking for is a plugin we can use to create a thumbnail gallery with each thumbnail linking to an external gallery in Google Photos – is there any way to achieve this with the lightbox plugin?
Thanks very much!
1. Ordering does not work correctly for images with numeric names. Instead of 1,2,3... it turns out 1,10,11,...2,20,21... you have to rename the images each time, adding 0 or 00 to numbers 1-9.
2. Mannual ordering (by dragging images to desired places) could be a good idea.
3. It would be nice to add a "Fullscreen view" button to view images in full screen (of course with the ability to scroll through the images).
4. A "download all images" button and the ability to forbid downloading would also be useful.
5. It is not clear what the "Make public" option provides. I turned it on and off, but the students still see the gallery as it is.
6. Automatically hide file type in caption text. Let it be only file name, without type. Otherwise you still have to rename each image to erraze thoese ".jpg" in caption, which is a very timeconsuming job if you have many images
7. Expand the plugin's system settings at the administrator level. For example, disable comments on system lvl
it would be very great, if desctiption hided while additing or adding images. In the interface for adding or editing images, the content from the "description" is completely unnecessary and even interfering. Because of it, the necessary interface goes somewhere far to the bottom of the page. You have to scroll until you get to where you need to. If the description is voluminous, it really becomes inconvenient and spoils user experience.
The latest version of the plugin (v4.5.0) works on Moodle 4.5 in my testing. Versions before that will *not* work. Have they updated the plugin?
