No Really -- I need a step-by-step for importing pictures into blocks and using the lightbox feature?
User Jamie K sent me this nice walk through that you might find useful:
Dummies Guide to using the PlusKit lightbox in Blocks
In edit mode, go to the PlusKit page and click on enabled fancy
zoom. Set
the trigger to "scale is less than or equal to" 0.70. And type zero
dot
seven zero. Do not enable the page nor show in menu.
Go to the page where you want the scaled photos to show. Say you
want to
scale a 640 x 480 photo down so that on the page it looks like it
is 266 x
196 on the page but zooms out to full size 640 x 480.
In edit mode, put a text block onto the page. Resize the text
block with
the blocks inspector to 640 x 480. Click inside the block so that
the cursor
starts to blink and the block turns white. Grab your 640 x 480
photo from
iPhoto or wherever, and place it into the blinking text block. Now
open the
Media Inspector. If the Media Inspector remains empty, move your
cursor to
the very edge of the photo and click so that the Media Inspector
becomes
active. Fill in the filename but most importantly, the alt tag,
because the
alt. tag is what will identify the photo when it is zoomed. Give it
a nice
descriptive. Then in the Media Inspector, use the scale toggle
button to
scale down to 40%. You will see that the photo scales but the text
block
doesn't. So re-scale the text block so that it encases the scaled
photo. Now
position the photo to where you want it on the page and preview.
If
satisfied, save and move onto the next photo.
