How to use

Syntax

Use the following syntax to enable mfGreybox on your images:
{mfgreybox [nr_of_images]|[gallery_name]|[img_name]|[img_title]}

The base image path is always: images/stories/mfgreybox/[gallery_name], where you can set the [gallery_name] in the mambot.

The thumbnails should always have the same name as the original and placed in the following folder: images/stories/mfgreybox/[gallery_name]/thumbs

For example, I would have an image called "marcofolio.jpg" with the size of 400 x 300 pixels in the gallery called "my_gallery". The thumbnail, also called "marcofolio.jpg" but now with the size of 100 x 75 pixels is placed in the "/thumbs/" folder.

Create the folders mfgreybox/my_gallery and mfgreybox/my_gallery/thumbs in your images/stories folder, or else the scipt will not work.

Directory architecture:
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/marcofolio.jpg (Original image)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/thumbs/marcofolio.jpg (Thumbnail image)

Your syntax will be: {mfgreybox 1|my_gallery|marcofolio.jpg|Visit Marcofolio.net!}

Adding more images

If you want more images added to your gallery, change the first number and add more images and their decription. Here's an example showing three images called "img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", "img3.jpg". All of them have a discription.

Directory architecture:
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/img1.jpg (Original image #1)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/img2.jpg (Original image #2)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/img3.jpg (Original image #3)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/thumbs/img1.jpg (Thumbnail image #1)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/thumbs/img2.jpg (Thumbnail image #2)
images/stories/mfgreybox/my_gallery/thumbs/img3.jpg (Thumbnail image #3)

Your syntax will be:
{mfgreybox 3|my_gallery|img1.jpg|Visit Marcofolio!|img2.jpg|Greybox is cool|img3.jpg|Another description}

All parameters must be filled.
