Video Lightbox

How can I add lightbox for video on Wordpress site?

Apr 20, 2012

Q: I am very interesting in purchasing your product.
I have downloaded the free trial and could use some help in figuring out how to place the videos on my websites. I need to place videos in WordPress.org
I am not a programmer/developer. I simply own the company. I need to be able to insert, modify and manage these videos on my own without the support of my development team in order to minimize overhead.
I need direction/instruction on how I actually get the videos into the website pages. I have successfully published to my ftp server but I am stuck from there. Do you have additional instructions and or videos on how I can move forward? My immediate need is in WordPress.org. Hopefully that is easier to provide instruction on.
Thank you so much! If I can figure out how to get these videos on the actual website pages, I guarantee I will purchase your software.

A: Video LightBox wasn't developed as Wordpress or any other CMS extension, BUT you can try to use it as standard Javascript files. To install the Video LightBox into your page:

1) Open the page in your program
2) Open html source code of the page
3) Copy code for the HEAD and BODY sections of VideoLightBox.
4) In Wordpress go to "HTML" tab and paste it in the place where you want to have a
video gallery, 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) Copy generated folder with VideoLightBox files into the same folder with your own webpage.

That's all.
