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
- Copy the lightview-plus directory to the wordpress plug-in directory under /wp-content/
- 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.

- Create a link with this image to a bigger version of this image
- 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.
Current Version
The actual version is v2.5.3.2. Now, it supports YouTube, blip.tv and Vimeo videos.

No problem, managed to find a solution. Thanks anyway.
Great plugin!
This pluging works fine in firefox, but, in IE doesn’t show anything.
I added class, edited post, etc, but no.
Please, ask the author of the javascript. I can’t support it.
I want to include a slideshow (pps or flash file) on the site and was hoping lightview could help. How do I embed a slide show? 720−897−8254
I want to make a video gallery that embeds the videos just as they go, just another issue is the title shows up weird too. Check out the site link, it goes to the page that we’re trying to work on to add thumbnail galleries of videos and then have them open in a flash player.
Hey Dave, the box, which pops up is not lightview. I think, you’re using an other plugin with the same function, too.
your plugin doesn’t work and you need to add better install because I have tried everything and it doesn’t work.
Hey Ric, I think that the problem is not the plugin, because it works. I think, my crystal ball doesn’t work. I can’t see, what are you doing.
Hello,

In which file in the thems shell i add it

@Thomas
sorry, but I don’t understand you
Thorsten, I am having a problem with upgrading to 2.4.1 from 2.3.6, so I filed this detailed ticket here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/366749
Will appreciate you having a look.
Thanks,
Artem
Hey Artem, please test the prototype which comes with lightview. You can switch to it in the options menu. Give me a feedback, if it works.
Thorsten, I tried all 4 combinations of the „yes“ and „no“ in the first 2 options and all of them resulted in a failure.
Also, I am not sure if you got this tweak to your regex that I sent earlier via email. Here it is:
My main problem was with this regex:
In my case, for example, this was too restrictive – my folders legitimately contained commas (,). In another case, the image link was actually generated by some script, so it looked like this: blabla/gen.php?file=foo%20bar.jpg.
I added a few of these characters into each of the regexes (in green below) but I still think it’s too restrictive. Perhaps there’s a better way to write this regex?..
And this regex (‚|\“) is better written as ([‘”]). But that’s a minor thing, it’s just easier to introduce new characters into a [] than into (|).
Artem,
please, change in the options to load prototype and scriptacolous from your server and not from google. After that, let me have a look on your site.
There is something getting wrong on your site. All CSS-Style are loaded at once. And the javascripts loads diffrent, than I expect.
Thorsten,
sent you an email about connecting over IM to get this done.
The CSS styles are loaded at once via the WP-Minify plugin — it shouldn’t be part of the issue. Not sure about JS loading differently, we should check it out. Hopefully we’ll get to the bottom of this.
Btw, is there a way to disable lightview on a per-link basis? For example, I want a direct link to the image to actually load that image in the browser rather than lightview. Can I specify something in one of the „a“ tag parameters?
