How to launch a lightbox Gallery from a button without thumbnails?

To launch a gallery on a separate page from a button, without displaying thumbnails on the page,, you can follow these steps using the Lightboxify URLs feature:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create a Source Gallery

   • Insert a Gallery block or section on a blank page and upload the images you want to display in the lightbox.
   • Name the page and note its URL (e.g., /source-gallery).

2. Create the Lightboxify URL

   • Your Lightboxify URL should look like this:
     /source-gallery?lightboxify=true&lightboxify-mode=gallery#gallery-id
   • Replace gallery-id with the actual ID of your gallery, which you can find using the Squarespace ID Finder.

3. Set Up the Button

   • Create a Button block on your page.
   • Link the button to the Lightboxify URL you created.

4. Save and Preview
