Use the new Facebook Photo Viewer (gallery) from iframe app

Question

I have an (iframe) app hosted on a tag on a Facebook Page. The app pulls (based on various conditions) photos from the albums of the page and displays them to the user. Is it possible to create "ajaxify" links on the photos so that when the user clicks on the photo, the photo will open in the new Facebook Photo Viewer (lightbox overlay) without navigating to the actually photo's URL?

Answer 1

Facebook's lightbox isn't part of the facebook api. You will have to implement your own lightbox, or download one from somewhere, to get this effect.
