A few questions on Slimbox or Lightbox.

So... I've seen this on some site.
You see one single image on the page... when you click it you open the picture in Slimbox, but then you may click next to several other images.

I know you can set up image sets so that they are linked together in kind of a slide show. But I only find how to do that when putting all the images on the page. I only want image visible and the other should only be accessible through the Slimbox popup.

That way I can save space and make it look really good. Just one picture and a header that says "Photo Album".

Another thing I'm wondering is if there is any efficient way to have a dynamic slimbox gallery. It would be great to have a script that just shows all images in a folder through Slimbox. So that the client could just upload new images to the folder with having to hardcode the page to get the to show.

Thank you for your time.

I've done this before, not sure it's the best way, but I have just the first image in the series where I need it, then I have all the rest inside a div that I have set to display:none with CSS.

It works.

Regarding the dynamic thing - should be able to do it with some PHP, I'm thinking SCANDIR and some sort of loop.

Great idea with the CSS solution!
I will have to learn how to do that other thing though.

Thank you! I love those simple and sneaky solutions!
