Lightbox Ultimate – How to display an iframe or external webpage

[Curt Donohue]

Here’s what I’m trying to do. I create screen capture videos using Camtasia Studio Version 7. Camtasia has the ability to create a menu with the video that uses an SWF controller.

Unfortunately, it’s all a bit technical for me. I can’t seem to figure out how to get this SWF controller to work in a lightbox.

When I couldn’t figure out how to do that, I was assuming I could use an iframe in the lightbox, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that either.

Does anyone know how to get the WP Lightbox Ultimate to accept an iframe?

Or, is there a better way to get a Camtasia video with a menu into the lightbox?

Thank you.

Hi, we have a shortcode to display external page in overlay(using iframe). Please try using the shortcode to see if it works for you (HTML Overlay Display Settings section)-

Thanks. I had that sheet but didn’t understand how to use it. You gave me that last little bit of info I needed and it works the way I wanted it to now.

I do have one question, though. I would like the lightbox to be a little taller than I currently have it. I was experimenting with the heights I can use without it changing into a smaller lightbox with scroll bars and it appears that the tallest size I can accommodate is 502 pixels tall. Anything taller and it switches back to a smaller lightbox with scroll bars.

I would like it to be taller because not all of the browser window is used up. So, it would appear I’m wasting space.

Also, is there a way to make the lightbox larger than the browser window? Or, must it be contained in that space? In other words, is there such a thing as a full screen lightbox?

Thank you.

Can you please post a link to the page where you are using that shortcode?

The scrollbar only shows up if it cannot load the whole page/content within the width and height you’ve specified.

The fullscreen option is only available for the video because it comes with the player. For normal external page or image display there is no fullscreen option. But you should be able to make the overlay window as big as the screen by specifying bigger width and height.
