Create a simple gallery for every product

I have a special content section for my products. It displays the single picture selected as “article image” on the page.

However, I would like to have a simple gallery with more images of that product (in a lightbox, if possible) pop up when I click on that image.

I am sure there is a plugin that allows for things like this? What is the best way to do this if not?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

you dont need a plugin for that purpose.

put the images in the article_image field directly with comme separator, txp:article_image show you only the first image for showing all the images use this code in an txp:article tag or txp:article_custom tag:

<txp:images break="">
<txp:thumbnail link="1" class="yourclass" />
</txp:images>

That gives you a linked thumbnail and it s up to you to use a javascript lightbox code.

Cheers

Thank you, Sir! :)

That helps a lot.

About the lightbox: how would I add the lightbox code? I don’t need help with the code, but just a general idea how I can build that into (?) the tag…

Find a lightbox js implementation you like, build your html output in Textpattern to what it requires. Follow the lightbox’s instructions for the rest.
