Is it possible to use the text link instead of the thumbnail in video in a lightbox?

Aug 29, 2013

Q: Dear Support,

Is there a way not to display the thumbnail and it just create a link? I can manually do this for now, but was just wondering if I was missing something.

A: It is possible to use the text link instead of the thumbnail.
You can make it manually.

For this purpose you should add the video to your videogallery, publish it usual way to
your page.
After that you should open your .html page in any text editor and find the line of code
which is responsible for the video, for example:

<a class="voverlay"
href="http://www.youtube.com/v/31aWy9lcyJk?autoplay=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer"
title="How to Add Video to Your Website with Video LightBox .com"><img src="index_videolb/thumbnails/0.png" alt="How to Add Video to Your Website with Video LightBox .com" /><span></span></a>


and replace the thumbnail by the text (Click to watch the video):

<a class="voverlay" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/31aWy9lcyJk?autoplay=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer"
title="How to Add Video to Your Website with Video LightBox .com">Click to watch the video here<span></span></a>
