I'm using Lightbox2 to display multiple uploaded images. However, when I view my node, only one image is displayed. When I click it, I can navigate to the others using the arrows on the left and right. It seems like Lightbox is only showing the first uploaded image and hides all the others.

Is there a way to have all the images displayed in my node instead of just the first one? It occurs as well as with Lightbox (default) as the Slideshow option.

Apparently the "Compact" setting in the field display (admin/content/node-type/[fieldname]/display) triggered this behaviour.

I thought this setting was to limit the size of the originally uploaded image, but in fact it does what many people requested: limit the display of multiple image to one (cover) image.

thanks for this helpful comment.

should this be added to lightbox2 documentation? if so, please add, or advise where I can myself, so others can easily find this.

Maybe these settings could be briefly documented in one line each. That should do it I think?

where would that text get added, README.txt?

Yes, I think that's where the most people would look for it.

Perhaps changing the name from "compact" in the display drop-down to "1 thumbnail" is more easily understood by people... I for one didn't get what "compact" meant, and was messing with tpl.php's in stead of just selecting "compact", after finding this thread.

Suggestion:
OLD NAME
lightbox2: event->original compact

NEW NAME
lightbox2: event->original, 1 thumbnail
