Shadowbox is an online media vieiwing application similar to Lightbox and Thickbox but with more functionality. Supports all types of media.
shadowbox-js folder from the /wp-content/plugins/ directoryshadowbox-js folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directorySettings -> Shadowbox JS and install the required dependencies if needed1. 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):
<a href="http://domain.tld/directory/to/image.jpg" rel="shadowbox[album]">Image</a>
2. Be sure to include rel="shadowbox" as this activates the plugin.
3. If rel="shadowbox[album]" is included the portion listed here as [album] will group multiple pictures into an album called album. Do not use [gallery] to define an album as WordPress has a shortcode that will interfere.
4. If you are using this as a lightbox replacement you do not need to change rel="lightbox" to rel="shadowbox". Shadowbox.js supports rel="lightbox" natively.
5. If you want to make a gallery/album and only want one link to display you can use class="hidden" to hide the additional links.
6. See http://shadowbox-js.com/doc/usage.html#markup for detailed markup instructions.
7. If you are using using Shadowbox globally for all images but have an image you do not wish to use Shadowbox on use rel="nobox" in your image link.
