Open lightbox gallery from single image?

@hwressnigg – Please give the following shortcode a try:

[ngg_images gallery_ids=1 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 use_imagebrowser_effect=0]

Thanks!

That works thank you!

I would like to make the single image larger than a thumbnail and left-aligned so that text can be next to it. Are there additions I can make to the shortcode to accomplish this?

@hwressnigg – You can add the following parameters to adjust the thumbnail size specifically within the shortcode:

override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=75 thumbnail_height=75

The above just uses 75 as an example, set those to something more appropriate for the look and feel you are wanting.

As to left-aligning the image, that would require some additional “code” such as wrapping the shortcode in a <div> element and setting the appropriate float property although in some cases this may not be compatible with some themes, generally it will work just fine.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help!

I wrapped the code in a <div> and inspected the element to find the appropriate code to float left. I can’t seem to find the right element. Can you point me in the right direction?

<div>[ngg_images gallery_ids=47 display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 use_imagebrowser_effect=0 override_thumbnail_settings=1 thumbnail_width=300 thumbnail_height=200]</div>

@hwressnigg – Try adding a unique/relevant id or class to the <div> tag. That will make it much easier to identify and work with.

Thanks!
