Popup window and lightbox

Starting with version 1.2, displaying media in a popup window or a lightbox has now been made really easy. Displaying media in this way is a two-part process:

  1. Adding popup="true" and assigning a unique ID for the player by using divid="identifier"
  2. Providing a link which references the player by it's ID given in step 1 and specifying the popup type (window or lightbox)

Step one results in an "invisible" embedding code. Actually the code is pre-rendered into a database table. This database record is then retrieved on demand by invoking the link, generated by step two. Here is an example:

{flv popup="true" divid="mypopup"}video{/flv}

This defines a player named mypopup, playing video.flv which will be initially invisibe.

{avrpopup type="window" id="mypopup"}Klick here to show video in a popup window{/avrpopup}

This will create link which opens a popup window containing the player upon activation.

{avrpopup type="lightbox" id="mypopup"}Klick here to show video in a lightbox{/avrpopup}

This will create link which opens a lightbox containing the player upon activation.
