Settings:
Basic-Options :
- Auto-Activation : Automatically adds Slimboxes/Lightboxes to links which point to images.

Usage:
Recomended Setting :
Activate "Auto-Activation". With "Auto-Activation" on, you only have to point a link directly to an image, and the result will be a link that opens the respective image in a lightbox.
Advanced Lightbox-Linkage : Create individual lightbox-slideshows by grouping.
By default, you can slide through all images linked to lightboxes on a page from right within an open lightbox.
But if you wish to group images to seperated slideshows there is a way to do this, by modifying the "rel" attribute of the pointing link like this :
from (standard):
<a href="/link/to/image.jpg" rel="lightbox">Linktext</a>
to something like this:
<a href="/link/to/image.jpg" rel="lightbox[groupname]">Linktext</a>
where "groupname" is optional and all lightbox-links with the same "groupname" will be connected in one lightbox-slideshow.
You can alter the rel-attribute right in the link-editor (see here).
Installation:
After installing, remembter to activate the plugin from within the Extension-Manager -> Plugins.
Here you can also set all the various options and activate the special funtionalities mentioned above.
