Shadowbox Gremlins....
Hi all
I am tearing my hair out over shadowbox, it wont initialise and thus work. The really annoying thing is that lightbox works just fine and does exactly what I want it to! I have two links pointing to an image, one with rel = "lightbox" and one with rel = "shadowbox", lightbox opens up the images but shadowbox just opens the images on a new page.
I have tried switching of the modules and back on again, I have tried changing the input type, I have re-installed the module, I have been on the shadowbox website to make sure that everything is loading in the right place.... as far as I can tell it should be working.
I know about the svf problem, and have rectified that with the patch. It has not fixed my issue (not that I was expecting it too!).
I have copied and pasted the head content from the source file of the pgae thats giving me gremlins, in the hopes that someone with greater knowledge and understanding can help me understand why this is not working:

Hi MM167!
Thanks for getting back so fast! Im using shadowbox 2. I did not build anything, just downloaded the drupal shadowbox module, plugged it in to sites/all/ and switched them on. Identical to what I did for lightbox, which works.
Not sure if this is any use to you (as I think jquery comes as standard in drupal now) but I have switched of the jquery plugin, the jquery UI and the jquery eye candy. Also the input type is NOT full HTML.
Thanks alot!

Hiya
I installed it by downloading the module, then unzipped the file, and dragged the unzipped folder in to my modules folder: /sites/all/modules/shadowbox.
I went in to the module settings and played with the settings (basically removing everything i did not want, like the movie player etc), and then changed the rel="lightbox" to rel="shadowbox" on one of my image links, and it did not work. Tried to fix the error myself for a few days and then tried here....!
Thank you for your help.
did you enable it?
you have to enable it in Home › Administer › Site building › Modules. You haven't stated anywhere here that you have enabled it, so just wondering.
