Really interesting gallery module setup. Was wondering if there was a way to go directly to a lightbox gallery image group from the cover image in a gallery list. Right now a cover image link goes to the relevant 'Gallery' node that displays all images of that particular gallery. You then can click on any image in the group to get to the lightbox view if set up in the settings etc. However there are many times when one just wants to get the lightbox group upon clicking the a cover image in the gallery list display. Maybe you could point me in the right direction to modify to get this to happen. Thanks.

This is possible in NG3 via views and Lightbox2.

Can you explain how to achieve this? If I update the "View cover image" display and set the "Content: Gallery" field to "Lightbox2 slideshow: node-gallery-thumbnail->node-gallery-display", then the images will open in a lightbox, but the Lightbox only contains the cover images from the 2 galleries that appear currently in the view. In other words, they don't open up to a lightbox of images from that gallery.

You can't do what you're asking with a cover image view. It's just the way that lightbox works -- it has to know about what imagefields it's going to display in advance. You may want to check out node_gallery_jcarousel -- it's not exactly like lightbox, but it gives users a quick way to page through the gallery without page (re)loading every click.

Has anyone found a solution?
I have the same problem with a custom content type that has a number of images attached to it: Lightbox only flips through the ones that are already shown in the view of the content type.
