Video Lightbox

How to add the video on html to my site

Q: I have downloaded and installed your program. It appears to be everything that I am
looking for. However, I can't seem to figure out what to do on the last tab "Publish".
Once I hit publish I don't get any html coding to paste in my website.
There is limited help on how to add the video to my site.
If you could please explain this process it would be greatly appreciated

A: You can install Video Gallery on your own web page in 2 ways:

I. Manually:

See how should you install Video LightBox on your own web page:

1) Create your slideshow using Video LightBox.
2) Publish it on a local drive in any test folder:

- open 'Publish' tab;
- select 'Publish to folder', click 'Browse' button and select any local folder
- click 'Publish' button

3) Open index.html file from the saved folder in any text editor (Notepad for example)
or you can:

- open index.html page in any browser
- right click on the page
- select view source of the page.

You'll find 'engine' and 'data' folders in this saved folder also.

4) Copy code for the HEAD section and paste it inside the HEAD/BODY section of you own
webpage:

<head>
...
<!-- Start VideoLightBox.com HEAD section -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="engine/css/videolightbox.css" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">#videogallery a#videolb{display:none}</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="engine/css/overlay-minimal.css"/>
<script src="engine/js/jquery.tools.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="engine/js/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- make all links with the 'rel' attribute open overlays -->
<script src="engine/js/videolightbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- End VideoLightBox.com HEAD section -->
...
</head>



If your CMS doesn't allow you to edit head section, you can add Video LightBox head
section into body section of your page before Video LightBox body section.

5) Copy code for the BODY section and paste it inside the Body section of you own web page
in the place where you want to have a gallery, for example:

<body>
...
<!-- Start VideoLightBox.com BODY section -->

...
<!-- End VideoLightBox.com BODY section -->
...
</body>



6) Notice, you should copy 'data' folder with images and thumbnails and
'engine' folder with .css and .js files into the same folder with your own webpage
using ftp manager you always use.

7) Preview your website in the browser.

II. Using 'Insert to page' option

- create your gallery;
- open 'Publish' tab;
- select 'Insert to Page';
- click 'open HTML page' and select the page, where you want to install
the gallery;
- click inside the page to select where you want the gallery to appear
and press "Insert Before";
- click 'Publish'.

Try this.
