LAYERSPACE USER GUIDE
Chapter 10 - LightBox
The LayerSpace LightBox is a powerful tool which allows you to give your clients an interactive selection device. They can add images to their LightBox, add comments to the images, then add an overall comment and send the selection to you for further action - for example supplying prints or high resolution files. The interface is extremely simple - thumbnails are dragged and dropped to a box.
SETTING UP A LIGHTBOX
You must have the LightBox option to use a LightBox.
First go to the configuration page for the Space you want to edit.
Click ‘LIGHTBOX/PASSWORDS’ from the top tab bar.
click ‘edit options’.
On the left of the page is a drop down box next to the word ‘LightBox’ -
change it to ‘ENABLED’.
combine with site if set to yes, the Space will begin with the template that is set. There will in addition be a button
at the top of the window saying ‘CLICK HERE TO SELECT IMAGES’.
If set to no, the Space will immediately open at the LightBox interface.
show filename if set to yes the filename of each image will appear under the large image when a thumbnail is clicked in the LightBox.
image size when a thumbnail is clicked, a large image is opened - this can be either large or small.
When you have set the options, click ‘apply lightbox changes’ to save.
LIGHTBOX TYPE
The type can be either ‘SELECTOR’ or ‘SALES’.
If set to SALES the LightBox becomes a shopping cart and images (or their subjects) can be purchased online using your PayPal account. This is ideal for selling prints of your images, but can be used for any number of purposes.
To change a LightBox type to ‘SALES’, click ‘edit options’.
In the middle of the page, under ‘SELLING’, set Selling to be ENABLED.
You will then need to set selling options (see next chapter).
