This is beyond fantastic. I used Shadowbox before I ever started developing CMS sites and now this makes it so easy to carry over the effect for the client’s sake. I have one question though…

I have the plugin set to work on all WP–uploaded images but is there any way to have the “handleOversize” value set to “drag” for one specific page template? I wasn’t sure if there was a conditional statement I could put in the header to make this work. I currently have “handleOversize” set to “resize” for all the other pages’ images.

Is it possible to make this plugin work for ALL links, or with a class instead of rel=”shadowbox”? I am working with a very un-tech-savvy client but want to use this plugin for links without them having to go into the HTML.

wow, man, great plugin! THANKS

Quick question: is there a way to prevent a .swf from looping with the shadowbox plugin? I need a player for that right?

@Greg: There is no way for javascript to determine the size of a video, and unreliable ways to do it with PHP. Because of this you must manually specify the height and width of a movie. From the shadowbox.js authors website:

You must explicitly tell Shadowbox the dimensions to use to display content other than images. This is done by adding a few parameters to the end of the rel attribute, separated by semi-colons. To specify a movie’s height and width (in pixels), use the height and width parameters.

Here as an example of such code:

This is a great light box but I have a problem.
I have a question about video integration how do I have shadowbox just rely on the size of the video (quicktime or FLV) instead of using the default size. I’ve have it used on an image on my main page but it wont size it to the size of the video or the default size. Is this because it’s not in a post, and I had to use rel=”shadowbox” or because of something else. I’ve messed with the settings but no luck. It also does this in the post but I got it to take the default settings.

Thanks

Do you have any plans for an image description to be displayed?
