Indexhibit Support

Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to create a link that launch a popup with a video within. While the popup is launched, the rest of the browser windows would turn dark, shady.

Like this web site http://www.danielarsham.com/index.php?/project/on-paper/

but with video and dark shade insted of white shade.

Thanks a lot !

I'm not sure of the name of the javascript utility that can do this - sadly most of these thickbox things can't. We're working on something though (for the future).

try this, http://www.wobbleweb.net/

hey vaska is there an update for this? or any video gallery solution that is being created?

I have been looking all throughout here sorry in advance if this is a bad comment

Yes, a video solution is currently being created. But I doubt it will have shadows...

Hey Vaska, is that solution going to be a plugin that works with the built in backend structure of the indexhibit options? I am sure people could live without the shadows. look forward to it.

do other people have video gallery solutions?

Hey micah, did you listen to beam and visit http://www.wobbleweb.net/? there you can download the wobblebox files, it´s essentially the same as the thickbox plugin (used on http://www.danielarsham.com) but supports video.

If you want to change the "shade" from white to black or any other colour, it´s a simple css edit. That´s the same for all lightbox scripts.

Hi Blameme,

I think I did see that post way back in the forum. I dismissed it because I didn't see an example with video. I will have to try it out knowing that it supports it.

Hey Blameme or anyone else, would you mind helping me with step 4.

1. --where do I enter...
2. $go[media_class]
3. $go[media_headline]
4. $go[media_description]
5. $go[media_toggle1] -> value is 0 or 1
6. $go[media_toggle2] -> value is 0 or 1
7. --common sense tells me I should put it right below 
8. $exhibit['lib_css'] = 'jquery.thickbox.css';
9. $exhibit['lib_js'] = array('jquery.thickbox.js');
10. $exhibit['dyn_js'] = "var loadingAnim = '" . BASEURL . "/';";
11. $exhibit['dyn_css'] = dynamicCSS();
12. $exhibit['exhibit'] = createExhibit();

1. --what is an example of something to enter into *do something* I am sorry I dont know php.  
2. foreach ($pages as $go)
3. { 
4.     if ($go['media_toggle1'] == 1) { /* do something */ }
5. Also I have no idea how to  finish the code here...

$i++;
}

--I am getting errors that obviously are occurring because of the div tags but I dont know the solution.

sorry for my lack of knowledge I will try to figure it out though!

thanks - Micah

Hi, what are you trying to do? you can just replace the content of the thickbox plugin files with the wobblebox files and it should work.

I am trying to follow the steps, but I can preform the last one.

Hey I think you got a bit confused? I´m not sure what you´re trying to do but you don´t need to edit that code for normal use.

do like this:
1. Make sure you have the thickbox plugin installed.

2. Via FTP open the 3 files related to thickbox in your text editor, they are:
www.danielarsham.com/ndxz-studio/site/js/jquery.thickbox.js
www.danielarsham.com/ndxz-studio/site/js/jquery.js
www.danielarsham.com/ndxz-studio/site/css/jquery.thickbox.css

3. Go to http://wobbleweb.net/wobblebox/jquery.thickbox.js copy the code, and use it to replace your own jquery.thickbox.js

4.Go to http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js copy the code, and use it to replace your own jquery.js

5.Go to http://wobbleweb.net/wobblebox/jquery.thickbox.css copy the code, and use it to replace your own jquery.thickbox.css

6. Save all files back to the server

7. Good to go.

ok I see, I was following the wrong directions, thank you. now I need to figure how to get the video to work with it...
