Mini Gallery in Lightbox question

    Is it possible make a lightbox pop-up contain multiple images?

    What I have in mind is to create a gallery of paintings with one image per painting in the gallery.

    However, when a viewer clicks on a painting I’d like to pop to contain 3 or 4 views of that painting + (possibly) some text. These would be:
    1. Main image (from gallery)
    2. A view of the paining in situ (to give a better sense of scale)
    3. A detail view
    4. Another detail, or possibly the back (to show labels etc)

    Text would be a description of the painting (Title, media, size, etc)

    Just to be clear: only the main image for each painting would be in the gallery. The other images would only appear in the pop up.

    I guess it’s a “gallery within a gallery”!

    Is this possible? If so, how would I do it?

  • Hi @silhouettist,

    One option might be to use the FooGallery All-in-one stack album as shown here:

    https://foo.gallery/demos/all-in-one-stack-album/

    This will allow visitors to click on a single image and open up a gallery of images related to that image which then can then click to view in your lightbox.

    Another option could be to create a gallery where each image in the gallery links to another gallery, opening up the full gallery directly in the lightbox plugin. This would require “deep linking” to open up the gallery in the lightbox immediately which is one of our Pro version features.

    So if I understand your request correctly there is no built in way to do exactly what you want currently but there are some options such as the ones mentioned above.
