You can use the same method in EasyWeb.

Thanks! But that would require shelling out more cash for a commercial copy. I know it can be done manually too, but I think it would be a great fit for EasyWeb. The Photo Gallery they have now is just about the same thing, just not very customizable. The Templates/Options in "VisualLightbox" are way more flexible. My problem is... If I buy EW, to actually get the functionality I need, I will then need to turn around and purchase "Wow Slider" or another gallery plug-in for a Slideshows with the option for thumbnails as well as "VisualLightbox" for the effect I am going for. Like I said, it sound like a perfect fit for EW.

As an Art Teacher, the Galleries are by far the most important feature in my sites. I really need a product that will make it somewhat painless and time effective. Paul if you give me your word EW will add these to features, I will purchase EasyWeb and the Hosting plan ASAP! And... probably end up a life long customer.

Thanks for your consideration!

There are lots of jQuery based sliders that are free to use...

Shadowbox is a really good lightbox style...

These are all great options, but they have restrictions. Some only allow for 15 -50 images. Most will also apply some type of copyright stamping with their logo or link. I need a gallery that would support hundreds of images. The school district I'm in also frowns upon outside commercial branding on any school related sites as well. Do you think it really would be a great undertaking to add this functionality to EW? If so, I will probably just bite the bullet and purchase a commercial copy of both WOW Slider and Visual LightBox. They are both easy to use and are the exact look I am going for. Thanks for you help!

It is a very big undertaking to add these features to EasyWeb. I do recommend you purchase the add-ons you need. We do plan on including some of these features and improving the existing ones but I don't want to promise anything right now because we have a lot on our plate.

I wan't aware that any of the above examples had restrictions to the number of images but anything above this number is going to effect the page load time quite noticeably. Most slideshows use an unordered list for the HTML so you can add as many images as you feel is wise. Using a revolving carousel for the thumbs allows unlimited images.

All of these are free to use. Galleria, for example, is completely without restriction and you only need to pay for custom themes.
