Hi there,

I’ve got an issue with trying to get a flash graphic/application to open in a lightbox effect, and wonder if someone could help me please.

The issue is that I can’t get the EE page to open when loading it in a lightbox. I’m getting an “Invalid URI” error message.

First of all, this is the product page URL (products weblog, and plant-pot is the weblog entry) that loads fine:

.../index.php?/products/plant-pot/

And this is the code the I’m using to try and call the lightbox - to open an iframe with a seperate page in a thickbox - the ‘segment 2’ code is meant to call up the product weblog entry:

<a href="http://index.php/products/large_view/{segment_2}?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=400&width=600" title="Flash Graphic" class="thickbox">Open Flash Graphic</a>

And this is the URL for the plant-pot product when used with the code below:

.../index.php?/products/large_view/plant-pot?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=400&width=600

Obviously, I’m not calling it up properly, but wonder how I can achieve this?

Thanks for any help,

Ste

I’d try something like this:

<a href=”{path=products/large_view/{segment_2}}”> - etc.

{path=products/large_view} will give you the right path.

Thanks Sue - your code above got me back on the right track and this is now working fine! 😊

Thanks,
