[feature request] Lightbox2 as Detail View

[bulgarion]

Phoca Gallery has a built-in system to collect image captions, which is GREAT. Why not using it in a full-screen effect which is nice to see as the the Shadowbox and is able to display them (like Lightbox2)?
I know it can't be done within a day... but Jan is such an amazing codewriter...

Hi, please let me know what is a full screen effect...


btw: I wanted to implement other light window effects, but window effect which are using prototype.js (from ajax library) cause a lot of errors on the site

Yeah, with "full screen effect" I was actually meaning the pop-up effect that in Phoca is referenced as "Detail View".
The Lightbox is quite nice, and has a built-in support for the image caption AND description - too bad it uses prototype.js... if you'll find a way to make it work, I bet that Phoca would become the #1 extension for those who need to display images in joomla!

I don't know why but including prototype.js will damage the panes below the images (commenting, rating, ...) and othere items on the site .. so I decided, I will hide them for view which uses prototype.js... but there is the next problem... modal cannot be loaded at the same time ... and this is needed, becase e.g. of displaying download view or geotagging (icons below the images )
