   Want to alter the wp-includes -->media.php code to auto generate rel="lightbox[PostID]" when creating a gallery in a post so each image opens in a lightbox.

   Don't know ANY php, but think the line of code I need to alter is line 854:
   $link = isset($attr['link']) && 'file' == $attr['link'] ? wp_get_attachment_link($id, $size, false, false) : wp_get_attachment_link($id, $size, true, false);

   I can get the rel="lightbox[PostID]" added to the img src but not the preceding a href where it must be.

   Any help from a WP php guru would be greatly appreciated and would teach me something about php!

   I always add every image on my blog individually so they open in a lightbox. I would LOVE to use the WP gallery but it does not add the rel=lightbox to the gallery code. :(

   Oh... and here's the link that shows the non lightbox gallery example:

   Do not edit core WordPress files. I'm pretty sure there are lightbox plugins out there that hook straight into the default WP gallery.

   Thanks for the reality check!

   And I found one I'm happy with.
