   Is there a way to make the lightbox effect work - even if I have the Shadowbox JS plugin active?
   As it is now, I can make the lightbox work (by use of the Lightbox 2 plugin) but with both plugins active, both effects show up one on the top of another.
   Any ideas for other Nextgen addons that could fulfill our needs? Any tag I could use to
   Grateful for any tips,

   - dolcevita.no (now on WP251, soon on 263)
   PS Needless to say, I need Shadowbox JS for other purposes (videos and QTVRs).
   AND I've had a look at other plugins, but they're either not WP263 compatible or do not support eg Quicktime movs (tried Multibox, another Lightbox plugin and the Slimbox plugin.)

   Basically I need help to find some other way to get the Lightbox effect - some plugin, a lightbox code I can use in the settings or something.

   To make things more clear:
   Shadowbox JS overruns some effects in NGG because it responds to tags like 'shadowbox' but also 'lightbox' - which are both used by the Shadowbox plugin.
   So, I've tried to alter the lightbox settings in NGG to eg
   'rel="lightcase[%GALLERY_NAME%]"'
   (lightcase instead of lightbox in code setting), but as long as the Shadowbox plugin is active I either get no lightbox effect (the image just opens in a new browser window) or a lightbox effect on top of a shadowbox (if a lightbox plugin is also active)
   The source code then reads
   'rel="shadowbox[post-324];player=img; lightcase[acquafredda]"'
   (in this case now lightbox effect)
   I'm on WP251, soon upgrading to 262/263 using NGG v0.99.1 and Shadowbox JS v2021 (not the newest 2032, not WP251 compatible).
   Any tips?
   Thanks

   have you tried setting the Shadowbox image automation to off?
   Settings>Shadowbox>Automation>images - OFF

   Seems to work fine. Shadowbox will still work with images with the rel=shadowbox tag.

   This seems like a pretty basic issue - Nextgen does some cool stuff, but is restrictive.

   And don't expect much help from these forums!
