Hi there,

I believe it´s best if I start a new thread regarding this issue?

I have made a little video that pop up in a lightbox when clicking the image on the frontpage. I have used this: http://videolightbox.com/ - to create the needes script.

The problem is that it disables the search from on the frontpage.

Here is the code that I have inserted into the index.tpl:











html video by VideoLightBox.com v3.0






It works fine, but it disables the search form button in the menu as I said.

Let me know if I change something in the code to make both things work..?

Thanks :)

Torben

Ooops the code generates "html video by VideoLightBox.com v3.0"

If you go to my site http://find-et-band.dk/ - and open the source code you will be able to see the code under "Welcome Video".

Hope you can figure it out :)

Thanks :)

As you can see at the very bottom of this page: http://videolightbox.com/ - the code for the video light box has to go into the HEAD section an the BODY section like this:


...

.....

...

...

.....

...

I´m not sure where the HEAD section is in the .tpl files on the ACP?

The code that´s going into the bodysection doesn´t make any issues, but the one that is going into the header section does.

Let me knkow what I´m doing wrong here..?

Thanks! :)

Hmm... Look at the bottom of http://videolightbox.com/ - I can´t seem to enter any code here, sorry.

Thanks again :)

You need to place code tags - i.e.

[ code ]
... your code here ...
[ /code ]

without the spaces before and after the ]'s.

So videolightbox is not something we use in Jamroom. Make sure you are using Firebug or your Javascript console to check for Javascript errors in your page.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Thank you for info :)

I found the HEAD Section in meta.tpl - When I put the code in there right after 
<head>
it seems to work like it should :)

I don´t hope it´s messing around with other things it shouln´t...

Thanks :)

Hi again,

I have just seen that you are using a lightbox on your frontpage here on www.jamroom.net - Is that a module - or?

I don´t want to use the videolightbox that I use now if it´s not a good idea?

Let me know :)

Thanks!

We use prettyPhoto:

http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/

that's not part of Jamroom, but something we added into our custom skin for the site here.

Hope this helps!
