Could it be that the links_imgpage template is missing (I can?t find it anywhere, even in LDM 2.3.0-alpha1) so the image is not displayed? If not the case: to help debug, the Image Resizer mod can use its Shadowbox to display all images in LDM pages.

This, as you said, is because I forgot to give you the template - see separate post

Will do

Need to think about the best way to do this. The answer is, of course, yes.

Shadowbox integrates fine with your flash-sites extra plugin.

The extra will be fixed to over-ride the open_musicbox_newwindow. (I had intended to do so, but forgot)

However, it appears only when the WMP player is used and only in IE7 ? can you enable those buttons for Firefox and all other players (Quicktime, Real, Flash)? If it?s just a WMP feature, then can you enable it for Firefox also?

I spent hours on this last year. The problem is that only certain players are easy to control with javascript. For WMP, the IE version can be controlled and the Firefox 2 version could not be (or at least there was no documentation to tell me how). I have not checked to see if Firefox 3 has a better WMP plugin which allows j/s resizing

There?s already a link below the thumbnail that links to the same single-entry page, so can you enable the Shadowbox to show the full-size image when the thumbnail is clicked? I know the magnifier link will do this, but it?s more user-friendly to also have the thumbnail link activate Shadowbox.

Yes

Can you provide an option so that Shadowbox just shows the media player without the jukebox template? Also, if full-size images are embedded in a template, can you do the same for images? There?s 2 advantages to this: 1. the presentation looks cleaner (check out the demo movies on Shadowbox webpage for examples), and 2. the viewing is more streamlined because the user can navigate between entries within a category without leaving the Shadowbox (check out the ?Mixed Content Gallery? demo in Demos > Movies on Shadowbox webpage).

I have just tested the gallery feature in Shadowbox and it works perfectly. So the next version of this extra will enable it on all LDM pages.

The extra will also allow you to specify the templates to use, defaulting to a 'naked' player and naked image. It will be straightforward to go back to the normal Jukebox

Exactly the same as the normal Jukebox (but see two of the answers above). This is all done using Shadowbox's "iframe" facility. It's not possible to access Shadowbox's inbuilt handling of movies and images, because Shadowbox works out what to do from the filetype it is processing rather than from the content it receives. LDM streams output via a php script.
