I have no option to have the image or video to display in the shadowbox. The dropdown option under display does not reference shadowbox like it does for lightbox2.

Any help please?

The options do appear for me. Can you try clearing cache? Any further info on this?

I can confirm that this problem exists with 2.1 and 6-x.dev versions. I dont see any field formatters under views, or content type display settings. The module works, if I create a link with my video/image and place rel="shadowbox" in the tags, however there arent any settings to automatically do this like Lightbox or Thickbox.

Iv even upgraded to the Dev Version of CCK to see if that would help... and nothing. Also cleared the caches.

Any ideas? Other information you need...?

Attached, is a short SWF (6sec) to illustrate the problem. Couldnt capture an image Im afraid.

Are these just normal imagefields you're using? I notice you have called your types video*.

One is an Image field: Vidoe2
One is a File field: greg_video

They are both named for videos, but that shouldnt change the field formatters. The main reason in using this module is its simplicity in viewing videos, leveraging CCK without added hassle. (thank you btw) But, not without the automatic handling of these uploads...

It's hard to say what could be wrong in your installation as it's working fine for me. Have you cleared cache using devel module? This sometimes needs to be done.

Caches cleared.

Found the problem, via a chat on IRC: ImageCache. Make sure IC UI is installed, and create a Namespace (preset), remember to provide permissions to these, and the Shadowbox works.

Im having difficulty with Videos (or anything else other than Images) uploaded using filefield. They display as per links manually created... but no support with Shadowbox: Generic File -> Shadowbox or something to that effect to automatically pop the video up in a Shadowbox.

I have created a content type "video" with two custom CCK filefield fields: video_file (file), video_thumbnail (image).

I need the node view to display the thumbnail, which is linked to the flv video for playback in shadowbox.

The shadowbox module is configured correctly (as per the status page.) Can someone describe the steps to configure this? Does this require a custom node template or does the shadowbox module already provide this behavior?

Thanks!

Bacteria Man,

Shadowbox does not provide the correct plugin when it comes to fields that aren't Image Fields, the best way right now would be to create a custom node-type.tpl.php with your fields, and use: Video, I think. That should be right, check the syntax but that should work.

Otherwise, Lightbox does provide this functionality if I am not mistaken.

Closed to clear queue. Integration with other modules is still desired. Patches more than welcome!
