Re: Adding text to lightbox image

1. Create a 'larger' image with text (so it is legible) as a PDF to link to for best visitor experience. Recent versions of MS Publisher allow you to SAVE your project as a single or multi-page PDF, and if yours does not already have this ability, go to the Microsoft Update site to download the PDF converter module for Office.

2. Do a Google Search for a "slideshow" (not a "LightBox"), or find one from any other source (DynamicDrive.com, Hotscripts.com, etc.) that allows images included in the Slideshow to have hyperlinking capability ... usually also has a "pause" on mouseover as well.

3. Upload your finished (cropped, re-sized, etc.) PDF to your Root Directory (public_html/), and enter that specific URL in the Slideshow link configuration: i.e. www.YourDomain.com/your-image.pdf and set the "Target" to "_blank" to open in a new browser window/tab.

Thus, when visitors click on the image in your Slideshow, a larger, more easily legible image will open in a new browser Tab for a "Preview" as you intended ....

Re: Adding text to lightbox image

Hi Vasili, I have my PDF file ready to go using "Flipping Book Publisher 2.2" but I am not sure what I should do in reference to item 3.
Could you explain in more detail for me on how to insert it into my webpage regarding Root directory etc.
Regards, Silvatop.

Re: Adding text to lightbox image

You are not understanding the basic BlueVoda concepts regarding Publishing, Linking, etc.

Maybe if you review this Tip (and re-review the Tutorials) you will grasp the concepts easier ...
