Problem with SHADOW BOX and VIDEOS

Post by jcnr »

Hi there jan and to all that helped this project to see the light of day...:D

Jan i have a problem and i hope you can hel me out

This component is great and i would use it as much as possible, but there is a spoil detail, that seems not very important but for me is very important

If i choose the form of ShadowBox (the lightbox look like thing) which is great and works perfectly in images, the problem is that i cant display youtube videos while in shadowbox format, it displays the thumbnail picture i select, if i choose any other display the videos and images works fine, the thing is that i really need to use the shadow box and i need to display videos

So botton line, isnt there a way to make the images with shadowbox and the videos with any other kind of display, or fixing the thing that is not allowing the videos to be displayes with the shadow box

Tks so much for your time, and i hope ou can help me

bestregards

Hi, the shadowbox is an image method, not iframe method, so it is not possible to display videos or any other html/js code there, it is designed only for images (the links to this methods are directly links to thumbnails) :(

Try to see Highslide (not image method), as you cas display the same effect as Shadowbox has:
