Hi Jason,

Thank you, this works great!

But I have a question on Slimbox this time, so I opened a new thread.
[Activate right click --> "Save as" on Slimbox]
showthread.php?p=137105#post137105


Here is what I did -----------

Firstly I added necessary file links (for css and javascripts) within the header.

I had this code just to show thumbnails for my gallery/catalogue page;
<img src="images/Thumbs/<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" />

To activate slimbox to this, I have to make a link to open a detail(large) image, and also must add rel="lightbox" to this link. The link should look like this (for example);

<a href="images/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="my caption">image #1</a>

So after I apply my code to above format, it would look like;

<a href="images/detail/<?php echo $row_race2012['FileName']; ?>" rel="lightbox-detail" title="<?php echo $row_race2012['Title']; ?>" ><img src="images/Thumbs/<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $row_race2012['Thumbs']; ?>" /></a>


"FileName" is where I store detail(large) image file name in database.

rel="lightbox-detail" activates slimbox, and "-detail" is added so I can group the entire photos on this page.
You have to have "-" between "lightbox" and whatever name you come up with.
