Hi there

I saw a nice way of displaying photos using rails, it is like the one  
in the following link

anyone knows the name of the plugin or the way to do it

Well, having no idea how they did that, it seems that (assuming you have  
a gallery that contains multiple photos), show the thumbnail of the  
previous picture, and the actual (or a scaled version of the) current  
picture, and the thumbnail for the next picture… fairly trivial stuff  
if you have an ordered join table between galleries and pictures.

Shuaib,

There are a lot of options, try thickbox, as in Lovd:
