<p>Shadowbox is an online media viewing application that supports all of the web’s most popular media publishing formats. Shadowbox is written entirely in JavaScript and CSS and is highly customizable. Using Shadowbox, website authors can display a wide assortment of media in all major browsers without navigating users away from the linking page.</p>
<p>This plugin uses <a href="http://www.shadowbox-js.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Shadowbox</a> written by <a href="http://mjijackson.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Michael J. I. Jackson</a>.</p>
<p>Javascript libraries supported are: None, YUI, Prototype, jQuery and MooTools. Prototype and jQuery are used from the Javascript libraries included with WordPress, YUI is loaded from Yahoo APIs and Mootools is loaded from Google APIs.</p>
<p>This plugin can also be used as a drop in lightbox replacement, without requiring you to edit posts already using lightbox.</p>
<p>By default this plugin will use Shadowbox for all image links, movie links, audio links and YouTube/Google Video links including those generated by the [gallery] shortcode.</p>

<p>This plugin also makes use of the <a href="http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/" rel="nofollow ugc">JW FLV Player</a>.

<h3>Upgrade</h3>
<ol>
<li>Use the plugin updater in WordPress or…</li>
<li>Deactivate the Shadowbox JS plugin</li>
<li>Delete the previous <code>shadowbox-js</code> folder from the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Upload the new <code>shadowbox-js</code> folder to the <code>/wp-content/plugins/</code> directory</li>
<li>Activate the Shadowbox JS plugin</li>
<li>Visit the settings page in the WordPress admin at <code>Settings -> Shadowbox JS</code> and install the required dependencies if needed</li>
</ol>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<ol>
<li>By default this plugin will add the activator attribute to all image links, movie links, audio links and YouTube/Google Video links that do not already have the activator attribute. Meaning basically, by default all images in the posts on your site will automatically be displayed using Shadowbox. </li>
</ol>
<h4>If you want more fine grain control over the links continue with the next steps. If not then stop here.</h4>
<p>1. Create a link in your post in the following format (This link can be to pretty much anything including websites, video files, YouTube, Google Video and inline content):</p>
<pre><code>&lt;a href="http://domain.tld/directory/to/image.jpg" rel="shadowbox[album]"&gt;Image&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>2. Be sure to include <code>rel="shadowbox"</code> as this activates the plugin.<br />
3. If <code>rel="shadowbox[album]"</code> is included the portion listed here as <code>[album]</code> will group multiple pictures into an album called album. Do not use <code>[gallery]</code> to define an album as WordPress has a shortcode that will interfere.<br />
4. If you are using this as a lightbox replacement you do not need to change <code>rel="lightbox"</code> to <code>rel="shadowbox"</code>. Shadowbox.js supports <code>rel="lightbox"</code> natively.<br />
5. If you want to make a gallery/album and only want one link to display you can use <code>class="hidden"</code> to hide the additional links.<br />
6. See <a href="http://shadowbox-js.com/doc/usage.html#markup" rel="nofollow ugc">http://shadowbox-js.com/doc/usage.html#markup</a> for detailed markup instructions.<br />
7. If you are using using Shadowbox globally for all images but have an image you do not wish to use Shadowbox on use <code>rel="nobox"</code> in your image link.</p>
