Title: Adding a lightbox link to a photo description
Post by: ichiro17 on March 27, 2009, 10:17

How do you add a lightbox link/banner to a photo's description?

I've done it once before for a MSG lightbox but I can't remember and I'm not sure where to look for it - I did a search here but didn't find anything

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Thank you all

Joseph

I do it like this:

Code: [Select]

[url= TheURLofTheLightbox ][img] URLofTheThumbnail [/img][/url][url= TheURLofTheLightbox] Lightbox Name [/url]
This put a clickablename of the lightbox next to the thumbnail.

thanks, that really helps

Will be putting them together for my portfolio

Do you think it helps drive traffic to certain images and increase sales if you have a personal images only lightbox?
