If I have a forum that is primarily for users to share images, is there a way that I can make it so they can choose to view ALL the images (like in a lightbox) without having to open every post and click on the attachment?
Hi @veramilo,
Please see how the wpForo Advanced Attachments add-on works:

Thank you. I did look into the plugin before but It isn’t clear if it does what I want. I want to be able to click on a forum and be able to scroll thru all the images in that forum (including in replies) without having to open and click the attachment in every post. It can display th3m as a gallery or go straight to a lightbox display.
Yeah the advanced attachment plugin does that
the embed plugin does that as well but without the lightbox
@zeeshan333. Thank you. Lightbox isn’t necessary for me, but it looks like the embed plugin isn’t meant for files that users upload but for displaying “galleries” from content providers (like flickr), is that correct?
The wpForo Embeds addon is designed as a core post content replacer. It checks content provider URLs and replaces to content provider view (video, audio players, social network widgets, etc..).
wpForo Embeds is a 3rd party URL (Youtube, Soundcloud, etc.) embed-er addon.
wpForo Advanced Attachments is a file attachment plugin. It allows attaching multiple files, images, videos, audio and all other file types you’ve allowed in settings.

It may be what I need.
In the demo for Advanced Attachments, it seems to loop thru all the images on the current single page of attachments. Can it be set to go thru the entire forum instead? If so, can it be page-by-page in one forum and the entire forum for another and turned off for another? That is, can it be different settings for each forum -- but perhaps still with a default setting.
Can it be set to go thru the entire forum instead?
I'm sorry but it cannot. The image slider search for loaded images in current topic posts and displays in slider, but it cannot look through all topics of the forum.
