In these series we will cover what a lightbox is along with the Lightbox2 and Colorbox modules. We will cover the configuration pages of each module and then go over some techniques for using a lightbox on your site. Some of the techniques we will cover is how to use each of these modules in certain ways. Such as an image gallery, image slideshow, html content, and even placing a node in a lightbox.
A Lightbox brings content to the user's attention.
To decide which Lightbox module you should use for your Drupal project, think about what you will use it for. Do you need to handle images and video? HTML? Integration with other modules? Various browsers?
Once you choose one to meet your needs, we’ll show you how to go about using it.
