Clicking on any of the thumbnails brings that image into focus, and allows you to scroll through the gallery at your leisure. Using the Lightbox scripts creates nice transition effects when loading and scrolling through the images.

This plugin was designed to be compatible from Moodle version 1.8 upwards, and as such may not behave the same in older versions. Please contact me if you experience any problems!
It is also of note that you can modify permissions on a site- or course-wide level to allow students to directly contribute to the gallery. If a site administrator first modifies the role to enable students to contribute, instructors may then "switch" this capability on or off in their courses.


Version 1.1 (14th November 07) - this version introduced options to paginate galleries, and allows users to comment on galleries (see this post).
Please read the installation instructions in the download!


Version 1.2 (17th December 07) - this version included a new image editor for editing images contained within galleries, as well as code improvements and extended image information options. You can also now add user-defined captions to individual images...

The Lightbox Gallery allows you to create image galleries within your Moodle course. The Lightbox system is a set of scripts than can be used to apply various effects to image galleries.

Options

As a course teacher, you are able to create, edit and delete galleries. The main configuration option involves telling Moodle which directory contains the images you want to include in the gallery. Small thumbnails will then be generated, which are used for the thumbnail view of the gallery.

Clicking on any of the thumbnails brings that image into focus, and allows you to scroll through the gallery at your leisure. Using the Lightbox scripts creates nice transition effects when loading and scrolling through the images.

It is also of note that you can modify permissions on a site- or course-wide level to allow students to directly contribute to the gallery. If a site administrator first modifies the role to enable students to contribute, instructors may then "switch" this capability on or off in their courses.

Please read the installation instructions in the download!
