I've installed the Views Gallery with Lightbox2 version 6.x-1.11. It added the "Start Slideshow" link above the gallery images, but it doesn't work. I've looked through all the issues and can't seem to find anyone else with this issue.

Any suggestions?

I think the issue here is that you can either have a lightbox or a lightshow but not both.

In the Views UI the view image field can formatted with the likes of
Lightbox2 thumb->original
or
Lightbox2 slideshow: thumb->original

Choosing the former sets the rel attribute to lightbox such that 

Lightbox.triggerLightbox(\'lightbox\', \'field_gallery_image\')

works as expected.

Calling

Lightbox.triggerLightbox(\'lightshow\', \'field_gallery_image\')

won't work because the images are tagged with the lightbox rel attribute and the trigger is looking for lightshow attributes.

Choosing the second formatting option does give a functioning slideshow, but you loose the lightbox effect.

Note that lightbox2 needs to be installed before views gallery as when the module is installed it checks for the existence of lightbox2 and configures the imported view object accordingly. You can patch the view up in the UI by browsing through views_gallery.views_default.inc for lightbox2 instances.

I'm pretty sure I installed Lightbox2 after Views Gallery, which may have been one of the problems as muggin suggests. Messed around quite a bit with lightbox2 trying to get it to work and finally decided to restore the defaults. That seemed to fix the problem and the slideshow link now works.

Try moving to the 6.2 version. Lots more work has been done there. Plus the module works right if you have Lightbox installed first. If you still see a problem if you install lightbox second on the latest code, post an issue against the 6.2 version. No more work will be done on 6.1.
