Hi,
I am working on a new lightbox / gallery extension (plugin). What this plugin will do is automatically add a 'popup' (lightbox) on images on your website (images that have a special css classname).
I am looking to extend the functionality to create a (predefined) gallery: a set of images that should be displayed with thumbnails and when clicked on will open the lightbox / gallery so you can browse to the large images (full screen).
Now there are two option for achieving this that I am looking at:
- Add a tag in the content pointing to a directory with the images, this tag will then be replaced by the plugin with the thumbnails
- develop a module with which you can upload / select / order the images, and insert that module into your content
What would you preference be? What would be more user friendly / logical for you as web agency / end user?
looking forward to your feedback!
