    I have a simple snippet call, with only one paramater; &display`normal`;

    What I would like to have is when a picture is clicked, a popup window opens with the photo and the previous /next links. Closing the popup would take you back to the index. Is there any way I can do this without seriously hacking the snippet?

        I followed the instructions, and it halfway worked.On the index page, Each photo has the description with it.

        I just want the photos, no text on the index page.

        Also, the HTML is displaying on the popup window above the photos. I would also like to replace the ’index’ link with a ’Close Popup’ Link. (as mentioned in the Wiki article). How do I do this?

          OK, I got the text off the gallery page. And I got the HTML to disappear. Now I just need the close link.

          To get the text out I just edited the chunk: mgGalleryPicture and removed these lines:

          <p style="width: [+maxigallery.picture_width_thumb+]px;">
          		[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]
          	</p>

            do a custom pictureTpl for the snippet call that is in the popup document and remove the index link in that

              Is there an example pictureTpl I can refer to?

                I found the pictureTPL, and I found this line:
                <a href="[+maxigallery.index_url+]">[+maxigallery.strings.index+]</a>


                How do I alter it to close the popup?

                  <a href="javascript:self.close()">Close this Window</a>
