A lightbox alternative - Bumpbox
Lightbox is a common way of showing images nowadays. I searched high and low for a script that was able to produce not only images this way, but even more content. And I think I've found one. It's called Bumpbox, and how it works calls for a quote from their website:
"Bumpbox is another lightbox clone with a few advantages over other lightboxes - it supports not only all common media types but also PDF's.
Yet, the integration and implementation on your own site is pretty simple. Just add the scripts to your head section, add classes to your links that should use bumpbox, define a rel tag with the size that the bumpbox should have and you're ready to roll.
Bumpbox automatically detects what kind of filetype you wish to show in the box, so you do not need to specify the type, easing the process of integration."
In order to demonstrate what can be achieved by this I have prepared a few links here:
This bumpbox uses the flowplayer© media player to show flv files. So if you intend showing flv files, you need download this and upload it to your server. Then change the path (and add reference in head tag) and update the flow player.min.js and flowplayer.swf to current version.
