Extension:GeeQuBox

Description
GeeQuBox incorporates Leandro Vieira Pinho's lightbox plugin for jquery into MediaWiki's thumbnails and image galleries.

When a user clicks on an image in a gallery, the page darkens and the image is displayed full-size "on top of" the page. Clicking anywhere off the image returns everything to normal.

Images in galleries are treated as being part of a slideshow, and have "previous" and "next" images.

This extension is derived from and can be considered an upgrade from the SlimboxThumbs extension.
