Article Shadowbox gallery that doesn't autostart

New to Phoca (first day), so apologies for being a newb. I have been through the docs and this forum for answers and didn't come up any, so thought I'd just post about it.

Couple of things regarding Phoca Gallery Plugin:

1) Should global configuration settings be reflected on article-level galleries? I'm not seeing any (that I noticed). But if I don't specify key stuff in the article gallery tag (like border color, etc.) then values get used that come from somewhere. They aren't coming from the global configuration. Any idea what the deal is there?

2) I am wanting an article to have a Shadowbox gallery that doesn't automatically transition from one slide to the next. Seems like I could do this by specifying a delay of 0, or something similar, and in the global configuration settings, there is a setting called Shadow Box Slideshow Delay. But there is no documented article-level analog for this. Since this global setting isn't inherited by the article's gallery, what are my options?

3) I have Joomla 1.59, Phoca Gallery 2.23, and Phoca Gallery Plugin 2.10 using the rhuk_milkyway template. When I attempt to give an article a gallery with detail=3, it displays a full-page Shadowbox but it autostarts the slideshow. Also, no description is showing up, despite one being entered for the photos in question. Photo does show up above the box, along with a count (1 of 2, etc.) and pause, next, close icons.

I'm galling the gallery with:

phocagallery view=category|categoryid=1|detail=3|displayname=0|displaydescription=1|bordercolorhover=#cccccc|fontcolor=#666666|bordercolor=#ffffff|displaydetail=0|displaydownload=0

In global configuration, Display Description is set to "Show (Lightbox)", and Display Title In Description is set to "Yes."

What are my options?

Thanks,
Brad =)

Hi,

I don't use and tested the shadowbox, so I can't help you with that one.

The defaults for the gallery plugin are set in [root]/plugins/content/phocagallery.php
