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.
Installation

- 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.

- All the rest is done from lightview-plus automatically

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.

The actual version is v2.5.3.2. Now, it supports YouTube, blip.tv and Vimeo videos.

I do not know what you mean by „In you theme the is missing. Please, add it.“ I have the Arras Theme and do not know how to check this.
Hi Josh,
I can’t remember your problem, but I think you have to add the wp_head in the header.php file in your theme.

Hi there
I was wondering if there’s a way to get this to work for galleries using
ID.‘ link=„file“]‘); ?>
instead of in
I appreciate your taking the time to read and reply to this.
Will gladly make a donation if you are able to help me find a workaround. Thanks
Sorry it cut of my message. Would like it to use for the shortcode:
echo do_shortcode([gallery]) instead of the_content.
Sorry, but I don’t understand, what you want.
