 * I need a gallery that can be launched from a text link such as ‘Click here to
   view the gallery’ – it should then open as a lightbox style gallery with the 
   thumbnails also showing in the popup as well as the main image.
 * Is this possible with Nextgen? If so which version do I need?

 * [@webfactoryuk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webfactoryuk/) – We do not
   have a specific method to provide a text link that will open the Lightbox Effect
   per se.
 * You may be able to leverage a shortcode like this: `[ngg_images gallery_ids=1
   display_type=photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails disable_pagination=1 images_per_page
   =1 show_all_in_lightbox=1]`
 * … or if you are using our NextGEN Pro Lightbox you could use a deep-link URL 
   for a text link. For more details about that, please use our contact form here:

 * Thanks!
