One of the best add-ons. I've been using it since the beginning

Thank you for such a great extension. Everything that I wanted to do with this extension worked flawlessly. Sure I had to make some thumbnail images and convert my video files to FLV but that was minor.

Thank you!

this is a nice tool for photos but a nightmare for video ! i've tried every syntax and copied code to get it to work like the example... don't know how they did that .. :(

As everything else that comes from this publisher (I'm a very happy member), this is a great extension. Easy to install, easy to use, although I had to get used to the different style of coding... but works like a charm. I only have one problem - I want to be able to add a link from within the Rokbox pop up. This way I can show an image of a website I've designed, add a header title and description, and then a link to the live site. But nothing I do will allow me to add the live link from the description area of the popup. Been going nuts looking for a solution. Other than that one problem this is perfect for me. Thank you!!

Hi there, I love the demo of this, but I cannot seem to get it to work - it just opens a new full browser window for anything I put in. I use joomla 1.5.14 and version 2.1 of the rokbox plugin both system and content are enabled. Does this only work with rockettheme templates I have a gavick and joomlart template and does not seem to create the nice popup effect? I could not use the support forum as its paid for only and obviously this plugin is free so have to post here for any help. Looks great but wish I could get it to work.

Great, and DOES work with external youtube videos. It just does not work in a module. It has to be in a content articles. Search there forum for a work around.

There is no way to make it work with extenal video, like youtube. It works fine with images, but not with external video. Im not the only one with this problem.

This plugin is juste exactly what I've been looking for for maybe weeks. Thanks a lot!!
But I have a pbm wich I dont know how to fix:

When playing Youtube files, the player opens 2 times. I have two players at the same time. One wich is the light one from Rok Box itself and another unknown one!!! I know I am using another plugin in my site but not in that specific article.

How can I fix that? I couldn't go to the forum, it takes years to open and fails after a few minutes.

Thanks in advance.

The main reason why I did not give a excellent review, because this does not support FLV format. Otherwise it does exactly what I want it do.

I put it in short for performance treaking:
the plugin attempts to load js, css and images on other pages not using rokbox effect, including in the backend!
Even worst, in the backend, the plugin includes paths of js, css and images which are '404 not found', which makes my site triggers looping all the time!

I tried many other plugins to display a html page or a video in a popup and everytime I had some conflicts with other plugins... not with this one ! A lot of options, really easy to install and use... just great !

I think could be the best plugin for multimedia display, if it had just a little more support. I sincerely appreciate your great work, but you have to agree witht me that it needs some update.
I would really like to use it on my future sites, if there wasn't this "disturbing" bug with positioning of the pop-up frame in Opera 9.6.x
Hope this will be fixed!

after searching around for an extension that would allow me to play videos on my site without much effort and after unsuccessfully trying out some of the other ones, RokBox is the one I chose. works great and configuration is a breeze. plus good support on the forums, which is always a plus!

First of all, thanks for great plugin! It is unique with all of tiny details which we all need.

For all of you looking for media showing plugins:
This is the most complete and efficient solution for Joomla!.

Support for this plugins are working great. I had some minor problems which are resolved in 15 minutes!

Although I really don't like plugins, this is the best media solution you can get for Joomla.
Up in few minutes, works great in my site, nicely explained.
Another great work from Rocketwerx

This extension does exactly what I wanted, which was to play the music I have available for download via a simple text link in my record store. Installed and working in less than 5 minutes!

Took me only 5 minutes to install it etc, good documentation, active forums, nice effect and simple code, also, automatic thumbnail creation or manual one, perfect for me. Love it, use it, vote for it.

It installed very easy, no hassle at all. Then I used it and it worked perfect. Thumbnails are created automatically and there are a lot of settings.

It also works great in FF3 en IE7, so here below you did something wrong.

Thanks rocketwerx!

This has the capability to be a great module, but I can't get it to work in IE7. I would happily come back to it if this problem could be fixed. I just can't wait for it at the moment.

Shows a given number of thumnails. Clicking opens a lightbox with navigation.

Was verry easy to install. There is a extra content-plugin that lets you easely configure a folder that shows all the images in the folder. Kind of like the outdated smoothgallery. It look a little like {rokbox}images/*{/rokbox}

I had some problems with not showing the next en back button. That was because you cannot have any other files then jpg,png,gif files in your folder. Also the extentions has to be lower case. I had a .rar file in my directory. Deleting that made it work perfect!

Maybe a idea to make it more fail-proof in the future? Or only reading out legit extentions.
