Hi

I am using lightbox on my first rails project. I have got lightbox  
working via the plugin. It show ups individual pictures with the  
background effect.

The problem I am having is creating a albumn of pictures so it  
displays them as a image set where you can go back and forward.

Any help on how I acheive this would be great!

Regards

Si

Add a parameter to the lightbox rel:

rel=‘lightbox[group]’

Check their site, [Lightbox2](http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/#how)

Just make sure you html code is rendered like that and you should be  
fine.
