Firstly, you should include 3 javascript files to your page. You can change the path, if you upload it to somewhere else. You can paste the code below in your head tag.
And you must include the css file(for the styles).
And, here is the thing:
< a href=“- YouTube” rel=“vidbox” title=“caption”>our video
I did add three folders in my web hosting that work with this script. The first category of script, I did place it in Page/Markup.
However, I am not sure where should I add for second and third category. Can you help me?
All of the javascript calls need to added before head. Using Page/Html Markup for this is the correct thing to do. The css style is also added the same way but after head instead of before.
The link example shows how to call the videobox script for a link. Any link you make to a video file has to has
rel="vidbox" title="caption"
added to it. The trick will be to make sure that you have the path correctly set to the “video” folder in the call to the css or it will not work.
I have little difficult to execute the last category. I did try using item/markup, but it doesn’t look right. I tried graphic box and hyperlink using javascript. It still doesn’t look right. Any suggestion?
Kevin, I tested this and it did not work right for me either at first. There are two issues.
The javascript libraries were not loading correctly because the folder they were in was in a different subdirectory. Moving the JS folder to the same directory as the page they are used on fixed that. Also, add the contents of the css folder for the videobox effect to your main css folder that Freeway creates for the page. It’s the same name so videobox knows what it’s for.
Adding the extra rel=“vidbox” title=“caption” portion of the url is trickier than it should be. Basically you cannot cut and paste that extra code into the url field of the external link dialog box, you MUST use the Extended button to add them. To do that:
A. Once you paste or type in your url into the external address box, click on extended. In the name box type “rel” (without quotes), and in the value box type “vidbox” (without the quotes). Click OK.
B. Do the same again for the title/caption.
Freeway automatically adds the equal sign and quotes, then closes the url link for you. Nifty.
Oh, one more thing… this videobox effect does not like your linked item if it’s on a layer. What you get in this situation is your effect window opens BEHIND your hyperlinked item. Lame, but there you are.
