It should help you get your images in the right place and right size. Once they are in the right place and right size, lightbox should work with no problem.

Motti,
Shalom!

Lightbox works really well for me in unison with IH2.
I maintain only one size of images (LARGE), and keep them in the main /images folder. The folder that _LRG and _MED are in, but NOT _LRG or _MED.

Lightbox finds them just fine and they display at whatever size they happen to be. It really works great.

To have additional images for Photo.jpg for example:
Photo_01.jpg
Photo_02.jpg
etc...

Simply create the images, and move them into the /images folder.
Then when you define the product in admin>categories>products
click the browse button, point to the photo in the /image folder that you want to be the main image, and lightbox will do the rest.
I assume it does so based on the part of the name to the left of the underscore.

I can't imagine this being any clearer.

IH2 can come with its fair share of problems. I would really look into learning how to use your own optimized images. I know lots of people love IH2 and thats cool, but its good to learn to do it yourself. I use IH2 now but in my current builds, I am going to do without in the future I think.

Just a word of caution to look into it for yourself, many people love IH2, so don't get me wrong.

[FONT=Times New Roman]Me again[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]While posting it I I delete one picture I thought was not needed after carefully and test it in many ways the only way I am able to have it work is having total of 3 pictures to show 2 on my site and this is the order[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]In image folder UglyGlove.jpg via admin [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]In Image folder UglyGlove_00.jpg via FTF[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]In large folder under image UglyGlove_00_LRG.jpg via FTF[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]If I want to show 3 pictures for 200 items, that mean 600 pictures [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]It could be something wrong with my installation or setting, never mind abut me I will figure it out I am on the right direction now thanks to all of you[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Thank You [/FONT]

I have installed the mod according to your instructions, but I am not getting any lightbox images in my product info screen. I am using version 1.3.6. Here's a link to my site
http://www.your-digital-dream.com/ZenCart/

Any ideas on what I might need to check?

It started to work as I was looking at it.
Nice job!!
