    Using MaxiGallery 0.5.2 I can’t get the title, description and/or the picturenumber displayed under the big picture. How can I achieve that?

    I tried to call MaxiGallery like this:
    [!MaxiGallery? &lang=`nl` &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`lightboxv2` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`160` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &pictureTpl=`mgPictureTpl`!]

    The chunk mgPictureTpl contains the commands from the standard template picturetpl.html. I also tried &pictureTpl=`@FILE:/assets/snippets/maxigallery/templates/picturetpl.html`, but with no luck either.

    Can someone help me out please?

      Found it out myself.

      I had to use embedtype slimbox in stead of lightboxv2. Also needed to use &galleryPictureTpl for formatting title and description. The right call now looks like this:
      [!MaxiGallery? &lang=`nl` &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slimbox` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`160` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &galleryPictureTpl=`mgGalleryPictureTpl`!]

      Must say that MaxiGallery is really great and very flexible to use. cool But with all parameters and placeholders, it’s hard to figure out what to use to get the desired effects. rolleyes

        Great that you got it working and thanks for the compliments and comments.. duly noted.. smiley MaxiGallery is a bit of a beast to handle, because it maybe tries to do to much all at once.. I will take all comments and feedback in to consideration when I start to do a new snippet for the next MODx platform..
