You are welcome.
The problem with above solution is that this is light trigger system and not wireless (Radio) so you may find some difficulties in day use, when light is already too intense.
An alternative (Very cheap) is to have a look at a radio wave wireless system such as this one:

That is comprised of one Trigger unit to go with camera flash hot shoe and the other base units to be added to each additional flashes.
You simply can't beat the price at under $27 for all units (At times even @ about $25).
It runs on unusual batteries though.
It is fully manual so No TTL.
This system is universal for all cameras that have usual type of flash base (Almost all, except older Sony DSLR and some Minolta's).

Then you have the option to go with what many professional photographers have used and have become a loyal fan, that gives you TTL etc in addition to longer range connectivity and excellent result with manual override etc:

The link above is for Canon (You see the letter "C" in item title) and Nikon versions have "N" in their name.
These come in to versions, older one and MK II or new version that additionally gives you USB connection port so that you can change firmware as needed and more versatile. Both almost at the same price so make sure to try to get Mk II version, if you go this route.
This system is Camera brand Dependant and you can't use the Nikon version for Canon or vise versa, additionally the build for N or C are very different with different controls (As the flash system is basically very different between these two brands) and other camera brand owners at this time are without luck.
