I've noticed the phoca displays a large thumbnail image into the lightbox, so it shows not the original image, but its copy from the Thumbs folder! It is possible to show the original image into the lightbox, and so to delete all the large thumbnails?
It also generates a lot of smaller thumbnails that I don't need and that I have to manually delete. I need only medium thumbnails.
And google images will redirect to the thumbs or to the original images?
Thanks a lot

Re: Displaying original image into lightbox
Hi, only Highslide JS method can display original images.
See similar posts in this forum. Thumbnails are commonly used because of saving traffic. E.g. when 4.5MB image is added into the system, mostly displying 4.5MB image on wen is not right way. This is why thumbnails are used. Phoca Gallery uses three:
- small - to display in categories view
- medium - to display in category view
- large to display in detail or image view.

I've tried to use highslide js, and highslide js (image only), and it shows the large thumbnail not the original one.Jan wrote: 08 Sep 2020, 12:24 Hi, only Highslide JS method can display original images.
