I would like to start using shadowbox for other videos on my site. Rather than installing shadowbox, I thought maybe I could use tubepress' installation. Althoughh shadowbox works well for my tubepress gallery, I can't get it to work for other videos.

 

My attempts include adding the below to my header. The shadowbox background shows, but no video appears. The videos work fine w/o trying to use shadowbox.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://domain.net/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/src/main/web/players/shadowbox/lib/shadowbox.css">
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://domain.net/wp-content/plugins/tubepress/src/main/web/players/shadowbox/lib/shadowbox.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        Shadowbox.init();
        </script>

Any sugesstions? Do I need to install the base shadowbox files, and alter code to remove conflicts?

Thanks!

Pardon...I am assuming a separate Shadowbox install would conflict with Tubepress...would that be within the scope of support?

Hi Scott,

 

The problem is that Shadowbox.js is both complex and (as of version 3 anyway) closed source, so troubleshooting and modifying can be tough. Loading the .css and .js files in the HTML head as you have done should not affect TubePress's functionality at all. TubePress call's Shadowbox.init() already, so you could likely omit that and TubePress would still work. Have you tried that?

 

Getting Shadowbox to play nice with other elements on your site is, as Brandon mentioned, out of the scope of what can we provide to our free users.

 

Hope that helps?

I decided to go with prettyPhoto for other shadowbox/lightbox effects. BTW, I had been a Pro subscriber for awhile, though the video gallery really hasn't been much of an attraction for this site, so didn't feel it would be worth paying additional years for it.
