Media Grid - Question regarding prettyPhoto behavior
Hello,
I've recently bought the theme and I'm tweaking my old blog posts to adapt them to various featured offered by Be. I'm trying to convert regular picture-after-picture galleries into Media Grid element which allows me to show images in really beautiful 1:1 grid. However, after clicking any image from the grid, only that particular image opens inside prettyPhoto. In order to view other images, one has to click away from prettyPhoto and click another thumbnail in order to view its large version.
Such behavior makes it useless to display large quantities of images inside Media Grid as it will confuse people who won't be able to browse other photos inside the Media Grid after enlarging one image.
I've also tried to overcome this problem with Fancy Box for WordPress plugin but it doesn't work, perhaps because of AJAXified nature of Media Grid.
Is there a way to link all images inside the Media Grid in order to display them as a gallery inside prettyPhoto?

if you mean to have something similar as we have on http://themes.muffingroup.com/betheme/pages/gallery then yes, it is possible of course and we just used default wordpress gallery in this case.
However, I really miss the extra control that Media Grid element gives me. It really is very flexible. If only I could make a working gallery out of it. Do you have any ideas regarding that matter? Or would I have to contact VC developers in this regard?
Btw. I've noticed some extra styling for prettyPhoto inside BeTheme folder. How do I use dark styling or apply my own styles site-wide? What would be the best and most bulletproof way to do it?
Btw. @muffingroup, it would be nice to sync hover styles between various gallery types. Galleries generated by WordPress use Be styling, but those generated with VC look plain on hover. Perhaps a switch in theme options (use Be styling, use VC styling)?
