# Slideshow & lightbox?

* Hi there,
I am using the great slideshow plugin but i was wondering if i could
make this slideshow work with a lightbox feature/plugin. I have found some lightbox
plugins that automatically create a lightbox URL on each image on my website,
but this is not running smoothly with the slideshow plugin:
* – or the lightbox plugin allows me to add an attribute to an ``, so i
can manually add these `` to the slideshow plugin. This enables the lightbox
feature for my slideshows, but when i want to go to the next image (within the
lightbox) it shows images other than the images added to the slideshow. So it
will show more images than ive added to the slideshow.
* – or the lightbox plugin does not provide the feature to manually add an attribute.
The lightbox works on all the images but not on the slideshow images.
* Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks a lot! [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow-jquery-image-gallery/)

* Hi,
* A lightbox will be available in version 2.3.0, but a release date has not been
set for this version yet.
* Best regards,
Stefan

* Yay! That’s good news. Any ballpark idea of when? Like in a month, a year, or???
I’m so excited to use this plugin!

* I’m hoping I’m not about to kill too much of your excitement, but I’m guessing
the lightbox feature will still be a couple of months from now.
* However, you could try to implement a lightbox feature into the slideshow plugin
by following the instructions in [this thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/clickable-images-1).

* Fixed it:
in views/slideshowplugin/slideshow.php
* ```
```
* In /slideshow.php
* ```
if(isset($_SESSION['count'])):
unset($_SESSION['count']);
endif;
```
* and in views/slideshowplugin/slideshowslide/frontend_attachment:
* ```
if(empty($url))
$anchorTagAttributes = 'rel="lightbox[' . $_SESSION['count'] . ']" href="' . $imageSrc . '" ' . (!empty($urlTarget) ? ' target="' . $urlTarget . '" ' : '');
```

* sorry for my late response.
Jup these are additions.
* in views/slideshowplugin/slideshow.php
ADD at the top of the file
* In /slideshow.php
ADD at the bottom of the file
* and in views/slideshowpluginslideshowslide/frontend_attachment:
ADD at line
51.
* This creates a session id per slideshow, that way the slides can be grouped per
slideshow.
* Good luck! Let me know if it worked out!
