  1. I want to do exactly this, but from a collection…is it possible? Some things are so simple, until you want the data to come from a collection. I've actually already built it, but haven't been able to attach my cms yet. Here's what i'm trying to do… say you have 30 pictures which you want to break up into 3 groups of 10. In other words, you'd display 3 photos (called A. B. & C), upon clicking A you want only the ten from group A (A.1, A.2, A.3….A.10) to show. Clicking B while show B.1, B.2 B.3. In the CMS i added a group label A, B, C and then I have a featured switch for the image i want to be the "main" (the 3 images that will be shown on screen/represent the group of 10)

  2. Seems very convoluted, lots of manual work, to set up the lightbox. Couldn't we simply multiselect a group of images and Webflow would create thumbnails and linked lightbox links automatically?

  3. I got my lightbox working w lots of images, but (sorry for a basic question) how do i add a small snippet of descriptive text, once the lightbox is actually opened? Right now i have the lightbox carousel working, like in the video, but it currently just has the images with no text or caption. Any help would absolutely be appreciated!

  4. Thanks for the vid ! I have a problem tho 🙁

    I'm using a grid with 20 pictures with numbers from 1 to 20 in it. I put 20 lightbox, one in each box. I linked them all but there is a problem. I can click on any of the image, doesn't matter if it's the first or the 15th, it will always open the linked lightbox with the preestablished order. (Not like in your video)

    (Sorry for my english) Is there a way to just link all the pictures to one lightbox but if i click on the picture number 13, it will open the lightbox on the number 13 picture and not the first one ?

  5. Is it possible to have a gallery of sorts within a lightbox image? For example, say I have a photo of a ring as my thumbnail, and I want the user to be able to click on it and have lightbox pop up with multiple views of that ring. Is this possible?
