    Tagged.com used some custom code on their own to include this light-box functionality for the videos on their landing page.

As we are just about to launch our TKB implementation (with a strong support focus) we are integrating a lot of image and video content as well. I feel that it suits well within the normal text flow to have the images and videos inline. Only downside are bigger images like full screenshots - the only occasion I miss something lightboxesque. Videos never occured as a space-waster to me, because when inserting them I can easily pick the desired preview / thumbnail size already in Lithium.

What's the reason, why the customer wants to explicitly have Lightbox support? The additional attention by putting media exclusively up front?

      Thanks P-Dub! This is exactly what I was looking for using the exact same prettyphoto code.

      I did a test on the stage and the code works for videos and photos posted in a TKB article.

      It does add a formal level of polish to the presentation of official TKB content.

        Hi JustinF : did you mean here that you are able to get all pictures into a RichText area and 'send' them into a lightbox to display all of them like if they were part of a gallery ???? Any still alive example of this ??
