boxplus for Joomla adds a thin layer around boxplus client-side JavaScript code to expose its functionality in the Joomla framework. Since boxplus is written entirely using the Joomla-native MooTools framework, it incurs virtually no extra overhead and you should not expect script conflicts, which are likely to arise with other plug-ins built on top of different JavaScript libraries.
USAGE
Organize the content on the page as you normally would but add a "rel" attribute that starts with "boxplus" to any links you would like to bind a boxplus lightbox pop-up window to. When a visitor clicks any of these links, a boxplus window showing the linked content will be displayed let it be an image, a video or other content. Alternatively, use the activation tag syntax {boxplus}Link text{/boxplus}, which will automatically convert into a pop-up window activating link with the specified text.
REQUIREMENTS
Joomla 2.5 or later
--OR--
Joomla 1.5.19 or later with MooTools Upgrade system plug-in enabled.
Great plugin. Works perfectly and just what I was looking for. I really like the way the gallery feature was integrated, it's very useful for what I needed.
A future feature suggestion:
It would be nice to have the option in the backend to turn on and off whether visitors can see the next and previous navigation before hovering. I added that manually with css by adding the buttons to the element and using opacity pretty easily, but thought I would offer the suggestion for possible improvements. if you wanted to

great extension. best extension so far, pretty much flexible
Great work with great support. I'm positively impressed with the developer quick answers to my questions. The component does exactly what I expect.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
It was so easy to get a external page to show up in this extension.
-Install
-Activate plugin and select prefered settings
-Use {boxplus href=linktoURL}Link text/image{/boxplus} in a article.
-That's it, it just works with so little effort :)

English is not my mother tongue, so excuse my mistakes, please...
This extension is simple and does its job.
Even though it ins't still marked for Joomla! 2.5, I used it with J 2.5.3 and VirtueMart 2.0.2.
It works well!
I used only the single image function by now. In the future I'll try it with videos.
Two little matters:
1. when the image popped up image is larger than the screen, the rounded right corners (for example Light Rounded Theme) hare cut
2. in the popup window the alt="alternate description" of the thumbnail is visible. I think it shouldn't.
Anyway, a very good job.
To speed up my work, I created a text template containing the text code to insert in the articles (in HTML mode), so I have just to set the correct parameters.
Thanks for your effort.

Not only it is easy to install and use but support is fantastic.
I had an issue (NOT caused by the extension) but that affected it and the developer was kind enough to give me a hand with it.
Recommended ++!

This extension has been seriously underrated by voters so far. It is an effective tool for getting a pop-up window integrated with your site, definitely on par with several commercial products in the category while being absolutely free. The documentation is simple, clear and to the point, and comes with several examples. The code is clean, well-structured, and easy customize, should you need to make changes to how the pop-up window works or looks.
Good plug-in no complaints. Didn't see a forum on the developer site so I'll post my question here. How can I have specific galleries for each picture being displayed? Meaning can I have more than one activation tag to display pictures with the gallery feature?
Owner's reply
There is no limit to the number of activation tags you can have in a single article or on a single page. Images and/or activation tags that have the same "rel" attribute are grouped into the same gallery, which implies that you will have as many separate galleries as unique "rel" attribute values. Moreover, not every image that is part of a gallery has to be directly visible on the page: you can have activation tags that are not shown, yet will be picked up and arranged into galleries by boxplus based on their "rel" attribute value.
