When trying to apply lightboxV2 to images uploaded with this module, they're not showing. With my others images works OK

Can you provide more information? I'm not that familiar with the "multiple image upload" (imagex) module. I presume you're uploading the image through Create content >> Image and that you are viewing the images in an image gallery? I've tried it on my test site and it seems to be working correctly. I really need more details on where you are viewing the images when you attempt to click on them in order to open them in lightbox.

It would also help if you could provide information on your lightbox2 settings, e.g. are you using lightbox2 lite? are you using the alternative layout? Is automatic image handling enabled? etc What browser on what platform are you using?

Finally, how is it not working? What happens when you click on the image, e.g. nothing? image is opened in the browser on a white page? lightbox is loading but image never appears? etc

If this is a public site, perhaps you could send me its URL, or failing that, could you send me the page source code?

Cheers,
Stella

The problem seems to be much easier than I thought. Uploading via imagex changes the name of the image, an ligthbox can not find a valid URL to show it. It's a pity, as Imagex could have been really useful to me.

Changing to won't fix as if lightbox2 can't find the URL to use, it can't open the image in the lightbox. Perhaps raise it as an issue in the imagex issue queue?

Cheers,

Imagex (Multiple Image Upload) does work together with Lightbox2 (Drupal 5). Put up a new and clean testsite, enabling one by one cleanURLs, image and imagex, then Lightbox. Speaking in general, a lot of problems with modules are created by conflicting settings between modules. This can make things so complex that a support request from such a situation is simply to time consuming to solve. So, if you try something new in a site already stuffed with other modules, if it doesn't work , try it in a simple test site. If it works there, you can decide to strip down the original site or set it up from scratch and see where it goes wrong. It's clear a test environment offline, set up with e.g. XAMPP, is a must.

Finding a good combination between modules for image upload (imagex), presenting it in a gallery and presenting the images individually (e.g. Lightbox2) is essential for a nice website, so the effort is well spent. Especially if the functionality offered by the module is unique (in case of imagex). Remember though that on the way of trying different modules, they create tables, new or modified content types etc. This can cause problems for the next module you try if you don't clean it up, especcially when they handle similar content (e.g. galleries).
