Lightview Plus is a wordpress plug-in which integrates Lightview into your wordpress blog and automatically changes all image links, so the images will open with lightview. Now, it is possible to show videos from YouTube and Vimeo with lightview.

- Download Lightview javascript and decompress it
- Copy the directories „css“, „images“ and „js“ of the decompressed folder to /wp-content/plugins/lightview-plus/
- Activate the plug-in in the plug-in menu
- That’s it!
Update
To backup the lightview javascript on update, it is possible to activate a backup function in the options menu.

FAQ
Nothing is opened with lightview?
In you theme the <?php wp_head(); ?> is missing. Please, add it.
Images are still not opened with lightview!
Maybe an other plug-in uses jQuery or an older version of prototype oder scriptaculous. Deactivate the plug-ins or let me know if you found an alternative.
I added images to my text, but they are not clickable and they are not shown with lightview.
You have to create a link to the image. E. g. create a link from the image to the same image or a bigger one.
Is there a jQuery version of lightview?
I am not the author of lightview. I have done a wrapper for wordpress. Please, ask the author of lightview and let me know about the alternative.
Lightview does not work in browser xy on OS yz. / How do I change the display of lightview?
I have no look into the lightview javascript code. Please, ask the author of lightview.

As I see, you don’t use lightview-plus, but some other plugins like fancybox, which is not compatible with protoype
My Lightview will not work. It work perfectly with video but not with the images. It’s a fresh install of the latest wordpress, lightview and lightview plus. Anyone got an idea why it’s not working?
When you insert an image, you have to press the button „file url“ under the line „link url“ to create a linked image, to the image.
@thorsten. Thanks man. That did the job. Finally after hours of trying. The only thing I Did’nt try. Many Thanks.

No and currently I don’t see any need to implement it.

Puzich — I am unable to get Lightview Plus working with IE8. Lightview Plus doesn’t work on http://Puzich.com, but Lightview works fine with IE8 on http://NickStakenburg.com. I have upgraded all of my files to the latest versions of Lightview, Lightview Plus, Prototype and Scriptaculous.
When can we expect an upgrade? Right now, the results are a blank white screen. Here is the site I am trying to get it working on http://speedshape.com — Danke!
Puzich — I saw another comment to this effect. Here are the details for anyone else needing to resolve IE8 Compatibility: Prototype 1.6.0.3 is not compatible with Internet Explorer 8, Prototype 1.6.1_rc3 is. You can download it here. http://www.prototypejs.org/download/ This release is not available through the Google API since it’s a release candidate so you will have to host it yourself for now, and turn off the option to load the libraries from Google.
Nicht schlecht, was da abläuft
Great job, Thorsen, I really appreciate it. Works perfectly with my config. I am a newbie so maybe my question is elementary: any chance to have the slideshow starting automatically? It seems I cannot find any trick in any faq…
Thx a lot, from Italy.

Have a look in the lightview.js file to make some configurations
