Nothing happens when clicking thumbnails

First of all *thank you* for creating this beautiful component. I have seen it in action on a few sites and it is excellent.

Unfortunately it is not working properly for me. I have it installed on a linux server with php 5.05 and Joomla 1.5RC3. When creating a gallery it generates the thumbnails with no problems and when I connect to the gallery through the menu, the photo gallery page looks great.

However when I click on the thumbnails to see the large view I get a Javascript error:
"Json.evaluate is not a function"

This error is generated while executing line 132 from modal.js:
if (this.element && this.element.rel) options = $merge(options || {}, Json.evalu
ate(this.element.rel));

I get this error in both IE and FF while running on my local Windows server as well as my public Linux server.

Thanks for your help. You can count on a donation from me if I can get this into production.

Hi James...

There is a problem, because I didn't create modal.js. It is a part of Joomla framework and Phoca Gallery use this modal class.

You can use Popup Window instead of Modal box, but this is not a solution

Please, try other version of Joomla 1.5 RC3, maybe last SVN or nightly builds ( http://dev.joomla.org/content/view/17/60/ ). Maybe, something is missing in modal.js and let me know if the problem persists. ???

Thanks for the quick reply.

After trying the latest Nightly Build (no change) I had the idea that it might be a Javascript conflict with the template. So I switched to the default template and it all started working!

The template I am using is Equinox from RocketTheme and so there is obviously a conflict with some Javascript that it is loading. I will have to start to debug to see where the problem is.

To further follow this up, I discovered the problem, specifically, was that the Equinox Template (and probably all the newer templates from Rockettheme) use a different version for mootools.js. When I commented out the line that loads the new one, the PhocaGallery started working properly again.

Of course the downside is that Rockettheme's cool Mootools modules won't co-exist with PhocaGallery. Fortunately for me, I didn't need those effects for my site.
