Art Sexy Lightbox - Picture Display

On the Alexander Furniture Agencies website, I used a Joomla extension call Art Sexy Lightbox to do the photo displays throughout their site as seen below:


Art Sexy Lightbox can be bought for $20 and is one of the first Joomla extensions that I purchased because it was easy to implement and did exactly what it said it would with a decent amount of customization.  There is a great demo site that they have set up to show you what the extension can do.


  • Displaying text below thumbnails.
    • The easiest way to create a series of thumbnails with text below each item is to create a 2 row, multi-column table.
    • On the first row of the table, put the code for Art Sexy Lightbox in each cell
      • ie.  {artsexylightbox singleImage="images/gallery/thumbs/thumb.jpg" path="images/gallery/"}{/artsexylightbox}
    • Then, on the row below, just center the text that you wish to appear under each image.
