  Does MaxiGallerySolo not support two calls on one page?

  The user inputs are filtered through htmlentities function, so it’s not possible. But just remove the htmlentities calls from the snippet and it will be. I guess it would be good to add a configurable parameter whether inputs are wanted to be converted to html entities or not..
  

  Great, that worked fine doze -- just left the calls on the places where description information was being put into title attributes and removed it from the other locations and all seems well, at least when using lightboxv2.

  I just added a note to the first post that conserns the issues that are discussed here.

  You have to call the snippet on an uncached page using "cached" snippet call i.e [[MaxiGallery]], because the automated javascript/css registration in MODx requires this for now. If you don’t call it this way, sometimes when you view the lightbox enabled galleries, the pictures may just open in a new window instead of the lightbox.

  Or alternatively you can add the css and javascript files to a template and just comment that part of the snippet out.

  Yes, true. But different display modes use different css/js-scripts.. it’s better to use the snippet as is, because it includes only files that are needed for the set display mode. BTW, this is a known little issue with the regClient stuff. The "fix" is coming from OpenGeek and the problem might get fixed in 0.9.5.

  Yep that’s true. But in my case I was using a modified snippet that randomized the order of the images and popped them up as a slideshow. Dynamic snippets like this won’t work as desired when cached, so it’s good to know that there’s an alternative method.

  I didn’t meant that the snippet would be need to run cached, just the opposite, prevent it from running cached at any situation. I wrote that you have to call the snippet on an uncached page using "cached" snippet call. When the document is uncached, the snippets will also run uncached even if they are called like [[this]].
  
  But still, you can just as easily comment out the css/js registering code from the snippet and put them in your template if you need, as long as you know what you’re doing

  It’s very easy to implement with the awesome Replix snippet (look for demo here). Here’s the steps to get it done:
  
  

  
  
  • 1. Create/Modify Replix form template and remove the action from the form tag
  • 2. Create a snippet called "GetPictureID" and use this at the snippet code:
    [list]
    [li]return $_GET[’pic’];

  [/li]
  [li]3. Create new chunk called "GalleryReplix" and add this to the chunk:
  

  
  
  • [!Replix? &tagid=[[GetPictureID]] &tplForm=`name_of_replix_form_chunk`!]

  [/li]
  [li]4. Create a document what is used to show gallery pictures. [/li]
  [li]5. Add the MaxiGallery and chunk calls to the target document:
  

  
  
  • [[MaxiGallery? &is_target=`1`]] {{GalleryReplix}}

  [/li]
  [li]6. Create a Gallery what uses the document above for target to display the pics:
  

  
  
  • [[MaxiGallery? &picture_target=`insert_target_document_id_here`]]

  [/li]
  [li]7. View results (add some pics to the gallery first )[/li][/list]
  
  PS. This will be a bit easier and even more flexible when the templating of MaxiGallery is done.. (and that should be soon).
