104 Adding Web Objects
To restrict the display size of this linked "lightboxed" picture, WebPlus scales
down outsized pictures to a maximum width and height (default 800 x 660
pixels) always preserving their aspect ratios. Images with native dimensions less
than these maximum dimensions are left unchanged. The maximum width and
height can be modified. (See Setting site properties on p. 32).
To create a lightbox to a local picture:
• As above but choose the File option instead of Picture.
You'll have the option to embed or link the picture; either way, the picture
always displays using its native image dimensions.
Lightbox slideshows
Simple lightbox slideshows can be created which are based on the pictures
already placed on the same web page. The lightbox itself will display controls to
navigate through your slideshow.
To create a lightbox slideshow:
1. Create a lightbox for a picture on your web page (as above).
2. From the Hyperlinks dialog, click Lightbox Options....
3. From the Lightbox Options dialog, enter a slideshow name in the
Slideshow drop-down list. This will be used for other pictures to be
added to this slideshow. Click OK.
4. Repeat for the next picture on the same page. The previously created
slideshow name will show for other pictures. Select the slideshow
name to include.
5. (Optional) Enter caption text.
6. Click OK.
Lightbox slideshows only apply to images on the same page. If
images are added to a slideshow from different pages, then a new
slideshow will be created for each page.
