   What do I need to do to make Shadowbox work with Big feature? I've tried other plugins like lightbox 2 and fancybox, and none of them also works.

   Thanks.

   depends how you want them to work. with nextgen you have to set the parameters in the plugin options. For all images to popup you have to configure shadowbox to do that. I use shadowbox for nextgen gallery, default images and video popups without any problem. You can manually add a rel="lightbox" to image links you want to popup though.

   Lightbox stopped working with WP3.0, use shadowbox or slimbox instead. Don't know about fancybox though.

   Thanks. Aren't these plug ins supposed to work automatically without any modifications?

   BTW, I just added rel="lightbox" and it still didn't work.

   some add the rel for image links automatically (even shadowbox js can be configured to do that), but in my opinion that's not a good solution, because some maybe should use another lightbox clone like fancybox, that are using another identification method.

   did you add it like this?

   <a href="http://mydomain.com/image-big.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="image.jpg" /></a>

   Yes, I added the rel="lightbox" just like that. On the images where I added the rel="lightbox", when I click on it, the screen will darken and the lightbox loading logo will show up. But after much waiting, no image comes up.

   Interestingly, I'm also using Flickrpress to display images from my Flickr Photostream, and the Lightbox works automatically on the Flickrpress column.

   the link must be to an image and not the attachment page, that's a common mistake. this is not related to the theme though. it works the same for all themes.

   I landed here because I am working out the same issues with NextGen and Shadowbox.
   What I am wanting to do is ALMOST working and maybe you guys know the answer off the top of your heads.

   So I have a page that displays a single album with three galleries.
   I want the galleries to open in a custom template INSIDE a shadowbox. I don't want to click on a gallery and go to a new page.

   So this custom template now accesses Wordpress via wp-blog-header.php and wp_head() function. It seems to be loading the NextGen plugin (I can even pass the album and gallery id numbers in the URL) but NextGen is missing something to fetch the images and display them.

   What do I need to include in a custom template to make NextGen grab the gallery?

   Ideas?

   you can hide the gallery inside a div and open it with shadowbox...something like this:

   <a rel="shadowbox;width=900px;height=700px" href="#mygallery"><img src="gallerythumb.jpg" /></a>
   <div style="display: none;" id="mygallery">[nextgen gid="1"]</div>

   Is this BigFeature related? I really can't spend any time on non customers...
