Video Lightbox II

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, to switch from the original Video Lightbox to Video Lightbox II, you can simply replace the video_lightbox directory in your packages folder with the code from this new package.

You can find the source code of this package on GitHub.
