Lightbox2 Mango Plugin

3 plugins released in 3 days?! Is this guy nuts?

Apparently? Yes.

Today I bring to you a Lightbox2 plugin for Mango. This was really fun to build and is super simple to use. I'll let the project page do the talking:

My new friend Mark Aplet asked me to take over development of the Lightbox2 plugin that he started, and I happily abliged. This plugin will add the necessary JavaScript and CSS to every page Mango outputs (aside from admin), and enables advanced linking in TinyMCE.

In order to use Lightbox, you then simply create a link (its contents can be anything: image, text, etc) and in the link dialogue, on the advanced tab, choose "Lightbox" from the "Relationship page to target" drop-down. That's it!

• matt 09 Dec 2008 1:42 AM Hi Adam, thanks for the plug in but I can't seem to make it work. It activated successfully in settings but I don't see any advanced tab when making links. What am I missing?
• Adam 09 Dec 2008 12:38 PM Hi Matt, I'll contact you via email to see if we can get it working.
