Shadowbox Updates

The shadow box tool has been updated and added to the LINK and IMAGE dialog boxes.

To activate the Shadowbox 

You need to add in the Shadowbox Initialization to the Global Settings or the Page Settings.
(Check with your admin, this might already be done for you)

<script type="text/javascript">
   Shadowbox.init({
      handleOversize: "drag",
      modal: true,
      overlayColor: "#000000",
      overlayOpacity: ".90"
   });
</script>

Setting up a Link

You'll want to use a standard HTML link, there are two places where you can add the Relationship.

What you need to do is tell iControl WebStudio that the Link has a Relationship with the Shadowbox code.

In the RELATIONSHIP field, you need to enter shadowbox;

If you want to specify a window size, add: shadowbox;height=450;width=600;


Advanced Initialization Settings

animate
Set this false to disable all fancy animations (except fades). This can improve the overall effect on computers with poor performance. Defaults to true.

animateFade
Set this false to disable all fading animations. Defaults to true.

animSequence
The animation sequence to use when resizing Shadowbox. May be either "wh" (width first, then height), "hw" (height first, then width), or "sync" (both simultaneously). Defaults to "sync".

autoplayMovies
Set this false to disable automatically playing movies when they are loaded. Defaults to true.

continuous
Set this true to enable "continuous" galleries. By default, the galleries will not let a user go before the first image or after the last. Enabling this feature will let the user go directly to the first image in a gallery from the last one by selecting "Next". Defaults to false.

counterLimit
Limits the number of counter links that will be displayed in a "skip" style counter. If the actual number of gallery elements is greater than this value, the counter will be restrained to the elements immediately preceding and following the current element. Defaults to 10.

counterType
The mode to use for the gallery counter. May be either "default" or "skip". The default counter is a simple "1 of 5" message. The skip counter displays a separate link to each piece in the gallery, enabling quick navigation in large galleries. Defaults to "default".

displayCounter
Set this false to hide the gallery counter. Counters are never displayed on elements that are not part of a gallery. Defaults to true.

displayNav
Set this false to hide the gallery navigation controls. Defaults to true.

enableKeys
Set this false to disable keyboard navigation of galleries. Defaults to true.

fadeDuration
The duration (in seconds) of the fade animations. Defaults to 0.35.

flashParams
A list of parameters (in a JavaScript object) that will be passed to a flash <object>. For a partial list of available parameters, see this page. Only one parameter is specified by default: bgcolor. Defaults to {bgcolor:"#000000"}.

flashVars
A list of variables (in a JavaScript object) that will be passed to a flash movie as FlashVars. Defaults to {}.

flashVersion
The minimum Flash version required to play a flash movie (as a string). Defaults to "9.0.0".

handleOversize
The mode to use for handling content that is too large for the viewport. May be one of "none", "resize", or "drag" (for images). The "none" setting will not alter the image dimensions, though clipping may occur. Setting this to "resize" enables on-the-fly resizing of large content. In this mode, the height and width of large, resizable content will be adjusted so that it may still be viewed in its entirety while maintaining its original aspect ratio. The "drag" mode will display an oversized image at its original resolution, but will allow the user to drag it within the view to see portions that may be clipped. See the demo for a demonstration of all three modes of operation. Defaults to "resize".

handleUnsupported
The mode to use for handling unsupported media. May be either "link" or "remove". Media are unsupported when the browser plugin required to display the media properly is not installed. The link option will display a user-friendly error message with a link to a page where the needed plugin can be downloaded. The remove option will simply remove any unsupported gallery elements from the gallery before displaying it. With this option, if the element is not part of a gallery, the link will simply be followed. Defaults to "link".

initialHeight
The height of Shadowbox (in pixels) when it first appears on the screen. Defaults to 160.

initialWidth
The width of Shadowbox (in pixels) when it first appears on the screen. Defaults to 320.

modal
Set this true to prevent mouse clicks on the overlay from closing Shadowbox. Defaults to false.

onChange
A hook function that will be fired when Shadowbox changes from one gallery element to another. The single argument of this function will be the gallery element that is about to be displayed.

onClose
A hook function that will be fired when Shadowbox closes. The single argument of this function will be the gallery element that was last displayed.

onFinish
A hook function that will fire when Shadowbox finishes loading the current gallery piece (after all animations are complete). The single argument of this function will be the current gallery element.

onOpen
A hook function that will be fired when Shadowbox opens. The single argument of this function will be the current gallery element. Returning boolean false from this callback will prevent Shadowbox from opening.

overlayColor
The color to use for the modal overlay (in hex). Defaults to "#000".

overlayOpacity
The opacity to use for the modal overlay. Defaults to 0.5.

resizeDuration
The duration (in seconds) of the resizing animations. Defaults to 0.35.

showOverlay
Determines whether the overlay will be shown at all. Defaults to true.

showMovieControls
Set this false to disable displaying QuickTime and Windows Media player movie control bars. Defaults to true.

skipSetup
Set this true to skip automatically calling Shadowbox.setup when Shadowbox initializes. Defaults to true.

slideshowDelay
A delay (in seconds) to use for slideshows. If set to anything other than 0, this value determines an interval at which Shadowbox will automatically proceed to the next piece in the gallery. Defaults to 0.

troubleElements
An array of tag names of elements that should be hidden when a modal overlay is used. This option exists because some browsers are not able to display a semi-transparent overlay on top of these elements. These elements will have their visibility restored when Shadowbox closes. Defaults to ["select", "object", "embed", "canvas"].

viewportPadding
The amount of padding (in pixels) to maintain around the edge of the browser window. Defaults to 20.
