The GLightbox Gallery Module integrates the GLightbox JavaScript library into Joomla as a ready-to-use module. Without any coding, you can display images, embed YouTube and Vimeo videos, show Google Maps, and present any inline HTML content in a polished, animated lightbox. Add items through the familiar Joomla module editor, publish the module, and the gallery is live.

Perfect for photography portfolios, product showcases with video demos, team directories with contact forms, event galleries mixing photos and recordings, or any scenario where content benefits from a clean, full-screen overlay experience. Multiple module instances on the same page can be merged into a single navigable gallery using a shared Gallery Name — combining items from different positions and layouts seamlessly.

Administrators can configure thumbnail dimensions and aspect ratios, open and slide animations, zoom and drag behavior, and optional slide counter display. Each gallery item supports individual overrides for title, description, dimensions, and animation. The module handles dynamic content automatically: galleries embedded inside AJAX-loaded or language-switched content reinitialize without any additional configuration.
