Boxplus is an ultimate lightweight pop-up window plugin like lightbox both work on Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 that can show images, video and other multimedia content including Picasa web albums, , YouTube and Vimeo videos, Flash, QuickTime, PDF as well as custom HTML content.
boxplus for Joomla adds a thin layer around boxplus client-side javascript code to expose its functionality in the Joomla framework. Since boxplus is written entirely using the Joomla-native MooTools framework, it incurs virtually no extra overhead and you should not expect script conflicts, which are likely to arise with other plug-ins built on top of different javascript libraries.
boxplus exhibits a high degree of personalization with features like thumbnail bar of images inside the lightbox for fast navigation between items, image captions supporting HTML, auto-fit content and auto-center as well as several themes mimicking various popular lightbox implementations.
Features:
* Supports all modern browsers, including Firefox (≥ 2), Internet Explorer (≥ 7), Chrome and Opera.
* Displays a wide range of content types. Supports images, video, Flash animations, inline and external HTML (iframe), PDF documents, etc.
* Supports captions. Each image or content item can be assigned a title and a caption, which can make use of HTML tags.
* Pop-up window centers vertically and horizontally. Vertical centering takes into account any caption text. The pop-up window is re-centered when the user scrolls down or across the page, or resizes the browser window.
* Various navigation controls. You can navigate to the next or previous image with the mouse or the keyboard (left arrow and right arrow), or use the thumbnail bar at the bottom to jump to any specific item, press HOME to jump to the first and END to the last content item.
* Fit to browser window. Large images are automatically reduced to fit available browser window space. The pop-up window can be expanded with the enlarge control in the upper right corner to view the image in its original size.
* Configurable layout. Panel containing captions and navigation icons can be aligned to bottom, right or left of content being displayed.
* Asynchronous operation with no dead time delay. The script launches as soon as the document structure is available, even if some images are still being downloaded. Only those content items are retrieved that are shown to the visitor.
* Easily customizable appearance using valid CSS. All styling is done using cascading style sheet rules, which allows for simple theming.
* Small network footprint. Even while boxplus has many extra features, its compressed size is comparable to Slimbox 2, which claims to be the smallest lightbox script available for the MooTools framework (with a footprint of 4 KB).
* 100% CSS and javascript. The implementation uses MooTools Core (≥ 1.2, automatically included in the document head by Joomla) and needs no additional dependencies to work.
