[Stoker]

Adds the Lightbox2 jQuery plugin to phpBB. It will resize posted images down to your defined maximum height/width settings and display them full-screen in an elegant Lightbox overlay effect when clicked on by the user.

Features:

• Resize images posted using the img tag or uploaded as attachments (resizing occurs in the browser)
• Resize images in user signatures option
• Images can be opened in a full-screen Lightbox overlay
• Gallery mode option in the Lightbox overlay
• Adjust settings in ACP->Post settings->Lightbox image resizing
• Lightbox effect and resizing disabled for mobile devices where its not needed

Hello everyone

I really like the lightbox. It's fully integrated into the forum, has clean permissions, is easy to configure, and the results are good for us, with six photo albums with a total of 240 file attachments.

It's a lot of fun, even though I think the lightbox has a flaw.
If a photo album/topic has multiple pages, each page is an album for the lightbox. The images on pages 2 and 3 aren't included when I view the images on page 1. People rarely browse the pages; they use the gallery view.

I dont think its a flaw @flumsi
The script is only able to collect images on the current page, or just the post which I prefer (this is found under post settings in ACP)
I think all images relevant for a gallery display should be in the same post.
Otherwise the post author cant control his own gallery.

Most people think after one page, that's it, which is usually a shame for the pictures on the following pages.
You can see it from the comments, but yes, your explanation does make sense.
