We are using the FlashVideo module and I would like to play the video in a LightBox.

We have set up a content type called a Video and that is how we load our videos via the FlashVideo module and then embed them in other nodes with [video].

Any help would be a appreciated. LightBox is a great module!

Do you have a site where I can see the uploaded video content? I can't get the flashvideo module to work on my test site.

Cheers,

Here is a page with a video:

http://bluevolt.com/solutions/distributors

This is using the embeded [video] command from FlashVideo.

The original node with the video is here:
http://bluevolt.com/node/30

To do what you want would require changes to the FlashVideo module. The [video] command would need to be changed so you could specify that the video should be opened in a lightbox rather than embedded.

Ideally the modified [video] command would create a thumbnail which when clicked on would open the video in a lightbox. It would need to create a link something like:

<a href="/node/123/flashvideo" rel="lightframe"><img src="myvideothumbnail.jpg" /></a>

The rel="lightframe" bit will trigger the lightbox. The url /node/123 would be the video node in question, whereas /node/123/flashvideo would be the node with just the video (i.e. no sidebar menus, etc).

I'll try to answer any questions you may have, but I can't make any changes to the lightbox2 module that would support this.

Cheers,
Stella
