    Is there an easy to do the following task automatically?

    I have a page of text with a single image that I would like to display in a small size with text flowing around it, but in such a way that if the viewer clicks on it, then they see the full-size image (maybe using lightbox style) and then return to where they were on clicking "close" or "back" or something..

    I can see that I can create a new page with the full image on, make the thumbnail a link, and put a back button/link on the new page back to the original page.

    OR, I can add a MaxiGallery snippet and make a single-image gallery (except that I can’t easily figure out how to make the text flow around it, but probably that can be fixed when I move to 0.5 and style it properly).

    But both of these are a bit tedious.. is there a simpler way?

    Thanks

    Gordon

    Edit: Here is sample of the MaxiGallery approach: http://www.csse.uwa.edu.au/~gordon/modx-0.9.2.1/index.php?id=49 (please ignore rest of site, just experimenting at the mo.)
