Video Lightbox II for ConcreteCMS
Video Lightbox II is a simple, easy-to-use package that allows you to add a text link or image to your website pages.
Clicking the link or image opens a clean, responsive, lightbox-style popup that plays a video.
This plugin is ideal for showcasing video tutorials, promotional content, or any engaging media—without cluttering your page layout.
No coding required: just drop it into the page and configure with a few clicks!
Features
- Flexible Video Sources - Choose to play videos from:
- The ConcreteCMS File Manager (MP4 or supported formats)
- Vimeo
- YouTube
- Preview Options
- View the image/text link in edit mode - no "Disabled in edit mode" text
- Preview the video popup while adding/editing the block (so you can check the URL and sizing without saving first)
Notes
This is a ConcreteCMS package inspired with the good old Video Lightbox by Steev Beech.
Video Lightbox II is a drop-in replacement for the original Video Lightbox, offering the following compatibilities:
- Compatible database names and field definitions
- Compatible package and block type handles
- MP4 video playback support via the Concrete File Manager
- Video embedding support for YouTube and Vimeo
So, in most cases you can simply replace the video_lightbox directory in your packages folder with the code from this new package.
