# Cover image link for lightbox functionality

 * Hi,
 * I want to be able to have the cover image on book pages be clickable to open 
   into a larger version via lightbox effect. I’ve successfully edited the single-
   book.php file to automatically add a link around the cover images to the original,
   full-size cover image (also adding a rel attribute to allow wp-video-lightbox
   to work) and it works beautifully. Unfortunately, since the PHP files get overwritten
   with plugin updates, my fix isn’t permanent.
 * Would it be possible to have a feature added where we can choose to have a link
   to the original cover file included on the cover image for the book pages, so
   we can then activate a lightbox effect?
 * Thanks, love the plugin by the way! 🙂

 * Hello,
 * Glad the plugin is helpful for you!
 * Showing the cover in a lightbox is a feature that is included in the Additional
   Images extension: [http://www.bookmanager.mooberrydreams.com/downloads/additional-images/](http://www.bookmanager.mooberrydreams.com/downloads/additional-images/)

 * Oh, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Looks like it might suit
   my needs.
 * A couple questions:
 * • Do you also offer a lifetime license option?
 * • If I only have one cover image per book, will that still work, and will it 
   display thumbnails below the cover even if there’s only one image? (I suppose
   I can hide the thumbnails via CSS).
 * Thanks again for the info and the prompt reply. 🙂

 * No, there is no lifetime license option at this time.
 * If there is only one cover image, no thumbnails will be displayed.
