Provides an interface to create modal/popup boxes with customisable content within.

To get the lightbox working on your page, you'll need to include this javascript file.

Requirements::javascript('lightbox/javascript/lightbox.js');

We've provided some default styling for the lightbox, you can use that by including this css file.

Requirements::css('lightbox/css/lightbox.css');

If you want to be able to use Lightbox on other DataObjects that are not extended from SiteTree, you can do that by following these steps: Create a LightboxItemExtension, Item could be any DataObject class

class LightboxItemExtension extends DataExtension {
	private static $many_many = array(
		'Items' => 'Item',
	);
}

Extend both that Item class and the Lightbox class, we've done this using a config.yml file

---
Name: mysitelightboxextensions
---
Lightbox:
  extensions:
    - LightboxExtension
Item:
  extensions:
    - DataObjectLightboxExtension

DataObjectLightboxExtension contains a standard onAfterWrite() event that handling creating a link between the DataObject and Lightbox.

Create a new class which extends from the Lightbox class, for example this CustomLightbox class

<?php

class CustomLightbox extends Lightbox {

	public static $singular_name = 'Custom Lightbox';
	public static $plural_name = 'Custom Lightboxes';

	private static $db = array(
		'Content2' => 'HTMLText',
		'Button2Text' => 'Varchar(255)',
		'Button2Link' => 'Varchar(255)',
	);
}
