SimpleBox Stack has now been updated. Whilst it was functioning in Stacks 2 pages, there was a small defect that stopped the correct background ‘fade’ color from showing up.
We have just pushed out a small update to the FlowBox Stack for RapidWeaver now at Version 3.0.2
- Added iframe support . Just add class ‘symflowboxiframe’ to your external webpage you want to open in the Lightbox
- Fixed an odd occurrence where a YouTube ID with underscores would get rejected , there was a workaround for this but now we handle this automatically.

FlowBox our popular Lightbox plugin Stack has now received a major update compatible with Stacks 1 and 2.
Almost 3 years old … yes it has been around that long :D , we have now given it a Stacks 2 refresh . In addition to new functionality this still makes Flowbox a powerful addition to your Rapidweaver Stacks Toolbox.
The previous Flowbox was great and was the first to bring automatic lightbox video playback as a Stack but as we have seen with web design methods as well as ‘fashion’ we have now integrated native HTML5 (Video ) playback in a lightbox with Flowplayer still being used as last resort.
Not happy with the old flowbox way of handling YouTube and Vimeo? This has also changed for the better with automatic link support for
http://vimeo.com/34025760http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ychmsJR6RkkYes, YouTube and Vimeo will use the latest HTML5 player formats
Last of all a lightbox would not be complete without supporting images and this is also built into Flowbox as well as the gallery mode via a rel-tag. Note RapidWeaver pages already have rel tags internally so you will find this gallery mode is active , but you can change the rel tags to say just have Video specific ones or YouTube specifc via the RapidWeaver add link custom options.
There is no complicated link code to add to your page , or add/buy another html5 , youtube or vimeo stack or an iframe module of this stack into FlowBox . If you have a movie, audio file or a youtube or an image link once Flowbox is added to your Stacks page the rest is automatic to help speed up your workflow.

FlowBox 3 is a brand new Stack and will require that you remove any previous copy of Flowbox Light or Dark stacks in your Rapidweaver page. Only then can you use the all new FlowBox 3rd generation stack.
