Does the Plugin Still Exist?

Demo site makes reference to a Shadow Box plugin, but I can't find it anywhere on the non-demo part of the site. Presumably I'd prefer that because I'd like to be able to use the Shadow box features from within the regular text of an article rather than a module.

Hi kecker,

We dropped the Ninja Shadowbox plugin because it wasn't as good as the Ninja Shadowbox module. It does everything the plugin does, but with one extra feature... modules can be configured to run on specific pages.

I am guessing that you assume Ninja Shadowbox module works like normal Joomla modules. This is not so. All the module does is output some javascript in the <head> of pages on which it is published.

You can use it on any link anywhere on your site, whether that be a module, an article, or a 3rd party component.

Cheers,
Mark

You mean you dropped the plugin because it wasn't as good as the module?

But otherwise thank you for the information.

Is there user documentation on how exactly to make use of Shadow Box's capabilities for example a chunk of text in an article??

Ahh sorry, yes, that's what I meant. I've edited the post.

Yes, you can find out more about Ninja Shadowbox on its page here:
