Facebox is a jQuery-based, Facebook-style lightbox which can display images, divs, or entire remote pages. And now, you can use it with your DNN module to make your DNN module more interactive. Today I would like to show you how to apply lightbox effect for some big image within dnn blog post. Note that we just demonstrated the process in Window Live Writer. Actually we also recommend that you should manage your posts with WLW, which will make your post management simply and easily. Now you just follow the simple steps below:

1) Open up your WLW and get started to write your post.

2) Just copy your big graphs or images into the content section of WLW and it will be scaled in to a little one. Also you can apply some options for some customized effects, like size, text wrapping, borders.



3) Set the option [Link to] as Source Picture and click the Options below. Then it should pop up the Source Picture Options window and there you can set it as follows and click "OK":



4) Switch the source tab at the left-bottom of content panel, find out the image tag section and insert the rel property for facebox detected. The following code should look like:



Okey, that’s all. Now the built-in facebox plugin will automatically attach the Facebook-style lightbox for your picture.
