WordPress test plugins: Lightbox
This post is a test for a new plugin that I am testing for a client over at Phillipwray Racing. This experiment is due to the discussion outlined hear in Phillipwray Racing website dissected.
What I am trying to do is simplify the process of adding images for a product listing so all the customers need to do is add the images and then scripting on the server side will handle the way they are shown and clicked on.
I tried several gallery plugins but nothing was simply enough as it all had to be done on WordPress admin and not ftp etc like currently. After a while I got into the lightbox options which there are several different scripts etc, some are:
- 4mj.net Lightbox 2 WordPress plugin
- stimuli.ca Lightbox 2.3 plugin
- huddletogether Lightbox 2 plugin
- thumbnail viewer plugin - lightweight version
- Add Lightbox rel attribute automatically
I could not get the add the rel attribute working for the lightbox plugins however I change the code to put rel=”thumbnail” instead and it worked, see examples below:
UPDATE: managed to get it working in Phillipwray Racing. The problem was that I had a plugin called iGallery also active which some how caused a conflict. Getting rid of that and it works fine…

This is not working on the Phillipwray Racing website, so I have had to manually add the rel=”thumbnail” (instead of lightbox seeing I am using thumbnail instead of lightbox).
