Like the poster below, I have the requirement for showing single images within an article - basically, for now, I just want the expand image functionality you have which I like - galleries can come later.

Wouldn't it be easy to add another parameter to allow a single filename to be specified (or even change the display_mode parameter to accept a filename string in place of 0 or 1) and just display that single image?

I saw your suggestion of using JCEEditor but I'm a complete newbie with Joomla (despite 30+ as a developer, I've found all this more stressful than anything else I've done!) and am reluctant to subscribe for that too when the built-in editor does 99% of what I need.

Hi Simon - can't help with the feature request but perhaps settle your fears over JCE. I was also quite happy with default until I came across the need to insert individual images when moving from a large 1200+ page site I set up years ago in HTML into Joomla. I switched to JCE Pro and never looked back. Its on all my sites now and is a great price. Yes, another module but (as you say) default does 99% but I find JCE Pro does 100% :-)

OK I've taken EGDOTCOM's and your advice and installed the two mentioned components.
I now see the JCE editor but I can't see any buttons to create modals.

I looked at www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/tutorials/jcemediabox/create-an-image-popup too but the information and screenshots there don't match what I am seeing. Very frustrating.

The simplest solution I have found so far is JH Image Popup. I simply install that and all img tags become clickable popups using the built-in Joomla Squeezebox. No need to change any Articles at all.

I think I got it! You have put a link over your image.
(Seems double the work to me but if that's how its done...)

Thanks.

Went again and subscribed to SigPro based on the help in this forum - bound to need a gallery in the next year.
Thanks guys.
