Shadowbox in ravennuke

Ello,

I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain to me how to include shadowbox so that I can use the shadowbox anywhere in the site.

I read that it has to be in the header.php but I can't see to make it work.

The shadow box site states that the below code has to be put in the <head> of the document..

Code:

but no matter what I do I can't get it to work. I can get it work by including this in a custom block created via the admin panel but I don't want to always put the above in everytime I want to use the shadow box feature on an image.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards

RavenNuke already has a colorbox included with it. To use the colorbox, you simply need to add

Code:

class="colorbox"

to the link you want to be in a colorbox.

and example would be like so.

ah, that's how to use colorbox Smile

Big thanks for the info

Now I have a second issue where colorbox (lightbox or shadowbox) will not run when I am using jquery for an accordion style menu....what's up with that? I am reading about the change $ to J$ and nonconflict stuff but that seems to be beyond my abilities to resolve.

IMO your best bet would be to create a head-menu.php file in your includes/addons directory and add you js inside there like so.

Code:

<?php
addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.js', 'file');
addJSToHead('includes/jquery/jquery.colorbox-min.js', 'file');
addJSToHead('your accordion js file location', 'file');

?>

That way your javascript files will be added in the proper order to the array.
You can also call css files the same way.

Code:

addCSSToHead('your css file location', 'file');
