Tumblr LightBox

I think it’s as simple as linking to the post instead of to the photo.

So instead of using {LinkURL} or {LinkOpenTag}...{LinkCloseTag} you would just use {Permalink}.

@TheDoc have a quick related question. In my theme, I have div’s on the frontpage that show a preview of each photoset vertically, but they currently link to the post page through a permalink. When I changed it from

{block:Photoset}
block:IndexPage}
{block:Photos}
<a href="{Permalink}">
<img src="{PhotoURL-HighRes}" /></a>
{/block:Photos}
{/block:IndexPage}
{/block:Photoset}

to

{block:Photoset}
block:IndexPage}
{Photoset-250}
{/block:IndexPage}
{/block:Photoset}

It would enlarge the images within the div when I clicked on them. Is there a way for Lightbox to trigger on the Index page the way it does on the Post page? They have the same div structure on both pages. Thanks!

@jang – sorry but it’s been a long time since I’ve been in Tumblr theme land. As long as you are using {Photoset-[val]} it should use the lightbox.

@TheDoc oy, it works just fine – just not in Preview mode, I’m a dummy. Thanks for responding!
