Pluskit & Resources & Blocks & Lightbox

Bear

Hello all,

I have a large jpeg flowchart with image text blocks over each flowchart task linked to resource files. I can link to jpegs and pdfs in the resource folder which open in a new window but I have no 'return' path to the flowchart. How can I get back?

Ideally I'd like to open the resources in a "lightbox - like" space over the shaded flowchart page and click on the background to return to the flowchart.

Can this be done with extra content or some other way? Im using the Photogenic theme with a mixture of Stacks and Blocks pages and pluskit.


Thanks

The FAQ at Loghound gives a way of using an image embedded and linked in a Blocks Text box to create a lightbox effect on one page.

A better way for my needs is to create a base layer Blocks page for my flowchart jpg and then create a second Blocks page and link the first page to this as a Master Page. On this second page create one link as per the above with a Blocks Text box and then use empty Blocks Image Text boxes to make multiple lightbox links to your resources by just sizing them around each flowchart task with a lightbox rel.

I suggest you make a screen-shot of the content of the first task, save as jpg, place it over the original location and link as described in the url above. You can then use empty Blocks Image Text boxes for the rest of the resource/lightbox links.

Note: You must set up and test the Blocks Text link first.
