Q: I have downloaded a demo of VideoLightBox and created a simple videogallery as a test which plays OK locally.
I then made a simple page in iWeb. But I cannot seem to be able to add my videogallery into this page, no matter what I try.
Can this be done or am I wasting my time on the impossible. Looking forward to your reply.
A: You can use VideoLightBox as standard javascript files.
Please see how should you insert a videogalley on your own page:
1) Create your slideshow using VideoLightBox.
2) Publish it on a local drive in any test folder:
- open Gallery->Properties->Publish or click 'Publish' button on the main menu panel;
- 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 HEAD and BODY sections of VideoLightBox and paste it inside html
snippet in the place where you want to have a videogallery, for example:
...
<!-- Start VideoLightBox.com HEAD section -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="index_videolb/videolightbox.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index_videolb/overlay-minimal.css"/>
<script src="index_videolb/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="index_videolb/swfobject.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- End VideoLightBox.com HEAD section -->
<!-- Start VideoLightBox.com BODY section -->
...
<!-- End VideoLightBox.com BODY section -->
...
5) Notice. you should copy generated folder with images, videos, .css and .js files into the same folder with your own webpage.
6) Preview your website in the browser.
I'd like to buy the video thumbnail html Video LightBox but firstly want to make it work. What's that about? Any tips?
Hello! However, IE8 is having issues. Everything works great, but how do I get the youtube lightbox video to pop up window to center on the insert video html iPhone?
Can I make the youtube video popup video play without click on it? When the video opens up and plays, it is centered, but having the original thumbnails all off-center looks strange. The video pop up videos work but you can't view the thumbnail for the videos.
Hi, Can you tell me the difference between EasyHTML5Video and VideoLightBox? Once I've created the slideshow, how do I get the "code" for inserting the slideshow on my new home page? Here is the procedure I followed: 1) I added videos from an folder in my website as instructed 2) I published to a folder called Gallery1 in the root directory of my local site 3) I saved the Gallery in a Documents folder on my computer 4) I published the overlay video gallery to an .html file in the root directory of of my site 5) I previewed the results in my jquery video overlay browser. Thank you.
We are having an embed youtube video issue of when the lightbox video jquery video is played, the background of the viewing monitor is not darkening. I have tried with and without "www." and "http://". Thanks!
Thats fine, thank you it was a typo, i fixed it. Is there any way to edit the video path of my current project (all pointing to YouTube) to point to files on disk - otherwise I'll have to start the embed video project from scratch again? If so how long is the popup video html period?
