• Show image gallery in a box

  If you choose to display article within a box you should edit default.tpl file located in VIVVO_ROOT/templates/VIVVO_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/article and add the following line on desired place (for example right below <div id="box_right_holder">):

  <vte:include file="{VIVVO_TEMPLATE_DIR}box/plugin_image_gallery_lightbox.tpl" />

  Image thumbnails will be displayed in a box and they will enlarge using Lightbox gallery on a click.

To accomplish this you should select image_gallery.tpl as Article custom layout (Administration - Categories) for the category this article belongs to.
