boxplus

Introduction

boxplus is an ultimate lightweight pop-up window implementation (commonly known as lightbox) that can show images, video and other multimedia content including web albums, YouTube and Vimeo videos, Flash, QuickTime, PDF as well as custom HTML content. boxplus exhibits a high degree of personalization with features like thumbnail bar of images inside the lightbox for fast navigation between items, image captions supporting HTML, auto-fit content and auto-center as well as several themes mimicking various popular lightbox implementations.

boxplus for Joomla adds a thin layer around boxplusx client-side JavaScript code to expose its functionality in the Joomla framework. Since boxplusx is written directly in native JavaScript, 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, which will automatically convert into a pop-up window activating link with the specified text.

Functionality

Works out of the box with no setup issues

Ease of use

What a doddle to use, install, enable and add to an image. Works just like that.

Support

None needed, just read the documentation

Can't get images to load but lightbox shows loading. I have a jquery-heavy site and there are no script options in this plugin.

Ease of use

Easy install, and tagging with 'rel' as it should be.

conflicting with phoca and other image galleries

First of all, the simplicity and flexibility of this plugin is outstanding, so I recommend this plugin. But I encounter conflicting problems with other image gallery plugins:

On the same page as my boxplus-plugin, I have an sbox-module, which is a phoca image gallery.

The problem now is, that when clicking on a thumbnail of the phoca module, I get an overlay with the actual size of the image, but TWICE. Because on one way or another, the boxplus plugin is also activated, which doesn't make sense because I only can trigger the boxplus plugin when I add "rel=boxplus" in my HTML code. And of course, phoca doesn't have that trigger in its code...

When I disable the boxplus-plugin, my phoca gallery works fine... But the problem is, that I need the boxplus plugin in my html code :(

I also tried RIE (random image extender) instead of phoca, but encounter the same problem. So there's a conflict in boxplus that I don't know how to solve...

Not for Youtube

Just want to let people know this is not a good plugin for Youtube videos. It might work fine for the videos in their demo (quicktime videos), but not Youtube. I'm rating them poorly for not mentioning this important fact about their plugin.

Great plugin, works great in Joomla 3.0

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 support

I installed it but had some problems configuring it as it conflicted with another extension. I got great support within a day fixing the problem and even explaining why it happened. Nothing better than great support
