Hi Luyolo,

Maybe you could get some inspiration from my code. I don´t have the for-each loop becase I only print images from the folder selected on the current page.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
  <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet
 version="1.0"
 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
 xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library"
 exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library">

  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    
    <xsl:variable name="images" select="$currentPage/pictureGallery"/>

      <xsl:variable name="mediaItems" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($images, true())"/>
      <div class="galleryPage">
          <h2>
              <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/heading"/>
          </h2>
          <xsl:for-each select="$mediaItems/Image">
        <xsl:variable name="picFile" select="umbracoFile"/>
          
          <div class="thumb">

          <!-- this can be used to link to the image -->

          <xsl:element name="a">
              <xsl:attribute name="href">
              <xsl:value-of select="./umbracoFile" />
            </xsl:attribute>
               <xsl:attribute name="title">
              <xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName" />
            </xsl:attribute>

            <!-- the rel and id attribute can be used to fire fancybox -->

            <xsl:attribute name="id">
              <xsl:text>gallery</xsl:text>
            </xsl:attribute>

            <xsl:attribute name="rel">
                <xsl:text>lightbox[galleryImages]</xsl:text>
            </xsl:attribute>

            <img>
              <xsl:attribute name="src">
                <xsl:text>/ImageGen.ashx?image=</xsl:text>
                <xsl:value-of select="$picFile"/>
                <xsl:text>&amp;width=146&amp;height=98%&amp;constrain=true</xsl:text>
              </xsl:attribute>
            </img>
             

          </xsl:element>
        </div>
   
      </xsl:for-each>
      </div>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

But I hope this post can inspire you to find the right solution.
