[TYPO3-dam] New extension "damlightbox" - sounds interessting?

[Franz Koch]

Hi Torsten,

> Additionally, the standard clickenlarge was required to open in a 
> lightbox in which further metadata could be supplied (like location, 
> title etc).

> 1) It fetches the metadata records of the selected images into TSFE 
> registers and makes them accessible via TypoScript for display.
> 
> 2) The backend users are provided with a customizable flexform field in 
> the image & text/w image elements that lets them decide over what 
> metadata to show.
> 
> 3) The DAM images and their according metadata open in a templateable 
> lightbox (I used pmkslimbox for this since it allows to open HTML pages 
> within the lightbox).

yes, please publish this one. That's btw. exactly what I need currently 
and was going to code it in the next two weeks. :)
