Lightbox Gallery

Activities ::: mod_lightboxgallery
Maintained by Andrew Hancox, Adam Olley
Part of set Lightbox Gallery.
This resource allows you to create 'Lightbox' enabled image galleries within your Moodle course. As a course teacher, you are able to create, edit and delete galleries. Smallthumbnails will then be generated, which are used for the thumbnail view of the gallery.
Latest release:
3577 sites
1k downloads
100 fans
Current versions available: 11

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.

    Hello,

    Trying to use Lightbox gallery to upload Infographic posters (A3Size) for students to view or even download. But it has restrictions in uploading the specified size. Any suggestions to work around that? Would really be grateful for any help in this regard. Thanks

    sheetal p: there are several places you need to make sure are set to allow the file size you want.

    Perhaps this could help: https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/File_upload_size

    When the lightbox galery is opened, the course short name appears in the header. It doesn't happen with other activities/resources, there is always the course full name.
    Is it a small bug?

    @Csaba Gloner: I wouldn't call it a bug per se. But it's definitely inconsistent with other activity modules. So I've updated the code for it in github. The next release will have that fix included.

    Can I ask - how does a teacher delete photos from the gallery? I cannot see how this is done, and is an obvious requirement, as what if a student (or staff) uploads images that are inappropriate or break copyright?

    Students don't normally have upload access on a lightboxgallery. That aside - after using the 'turn editing on' button, you can select 'delete' from the edit action under any given picture.

    Thanks Adam - I hadn't worked out that I needed to have editing turned on to be able to delete. All good now.

    This is a great resource. I have been using it with my school for years. Just a query- Is there a way of downloading all the pictures in a gallery at once? At the moment I have to download each picture individually which is really time consuming.

    First of all, I would like to say this. A great app. Congratulations.

    Will there be a show description statement on the course page under the description section in the courses?

    Thanks.

    Hey,
    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

    Hello,
    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!
