I was using the free SIG without any problems (imagesa popped up and the forward, back and close buttons all worked), until I wanted to add captions to my thumbnails.  After installing SIG Pro now all of my pop ups open in a new window.  I am using Rocket Theme's Dark Elemental template.  Where do I go to fix the javascript conflict?

Link www.scsworks.com/sak - click on the galleries or new items menu link.

I have Tabs and Slides. Slideshow Pro and RokZoom extensions installed.

Thanks...Ken

I had exactly the same issue. 

Our new site (still under development) uses the Dark Matter template & SIG Pro.

For me, I simply changed the SIG Pro popup engine to Lytebox to remove conflicts with the theme.

example page shawfocus.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=27

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply Tajmahal...

But your solution still opens the images in a separate window and the lightbox effect is not present.

I resolved the issue by changing templates to RT's Vortex, and commented out some code in the index.php -

<!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/js/slimbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/js/reflection.js"></script> -->

I tried to hack RT's Elemental, but could not quite get the code modified without creating more problems.

Now all is good with the SIG Pro and FrontPage slide show.

I have a ton of images to add but you can see the work in progress at
www.scsworks.com/saktest/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=55&Itemid=67

Fotis, now that I got everything working, I have a request regarding the captions,  Can you create a two caption system?  In other words I would like to display a short caption for the thumbnails and a longer caption for the pop ups.

Unfortunately, the Elemental template by RT is reallllly buggy when it comes to all these mootools goodies.  :D

and what did you replace this code with?
I have RT's Extremities 2 and am having some issues.
I wanted to go with lytebox but am not sure how to "simply change my popup engine"...
I woudl like to do a slide show with lytebox...see here:
