Views - Gallery + Lightbox (Images)

This view is used to create a gallery of images displayed as full single image. Once any one of these images is clicked, all images in the gallery open in a lightbox. The parameters available for this view are as follows:

Input data = Gallery

Use Gallery

Select the gallery (created previously) from which you would like to use to define the slider's content.

Link

Custom - This means that the link on the image will be that link set in the "Gallery Image Settings", accessible via the edit gallery page. (edit image icon on each gallery thumbnail).
Attachment - This will overwrite any link set via the "Gallery Image Settings" page and instead the image will automatically receive a link to the original version of itself, prior to resizing. This way you may display large versions of images in a lightbox.

Input data = Posts

Max

Set the maximum amount of posts to be shown. Leave this field empty for unlimited posts.

Selection

Use this control to manually pick posts to be included in the view.

Categories

Includes items in the view only from the selected categories.

Tags

Includes items in the view only featuring the selected tags.

Format

Includes items in the view which correspond to the selected format.

Gallery Image Settings

Lightbox Gallery Transition

Set the image transition. Slide - The images slide left to right while fading out. Shutter - The images transition using a black and white to color effect plus a zooming effect.

Scale Mode

Set the way image scaling is handled. Fit - No matter the size of the image it will be shown in full on screen and surrounded by black space. No cropping will occur. Fill - The Image will be resized so that it fills the screen. Depending on the image aspect ration and that of the screen, the image may be cropped. Max - There is a max version of both Fit and Fill, which basically means that if the image is small, upscaling is permitted if required. So basically the image will be shown at its largest possible size, even if it is needed to be scaled up. Should the image have a small resolution and the user have a large screen, some pixelation of the image may result.
