Is it possible to add option that would disable modal functionality. When i have youtube video playing and open pic in lightbox , video disappears and restarts on lightbox close. I would like to continue watching video while looking at pics.
Thx.

That's nothing to do with "modal" functionality. It's necessary to disable videos while viewing anything in a lightbox as in some browsers the embedded video will always appear above the lightbox display regardless of the settings. The same thing can also happen with form selects.

So I'm afraid, I'm marking this as by design.

Cheers,
Stella

OK, I understand... so u do that with Lightbox.toggleSelectsFlash('hide'); ...
now what would be best approach to disable this only for some pages (actually need this just for front page)?
I wouldnt like to change anything in lightbox.js...
thx.

You would need to modify lightbox.js, or create your own copy of the file which you load on those specific pages instead.

Take a look at lightbox2_init() and lightbox2_add_files().

well in lightbox2_add_files() i checked if its front with
if (strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) < 3) {
if there is some better way to check that, let me know.
Thx.

That's the wrong way to do it and may not necessarily work on all browsers, try this instead:

if (drupal_match_path($_GET['q'], "<front>")) {

See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_match_path for more info.

Ah, yes of course - well then look at lightbox2_exclude_these_paths() to see if you can reuse any of the code there.

It is not such an important feature so i will not complicate more and will stick with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. It works for now. Thx for fast responses!
