I read the tutorial on multibox, and managed to get it working on comaxium. The way I did it in comaxium is this: I had an html module, and used the plugin ?rticles anywhere` which puts an ?nsert article button in the module that u click and add whatever article. This article had this coding to have a video from my laptop pop up: <div style="height: 76px; overflow: hidden;"><a id="mb1" class="s5mb" href="images/videos/HappyCamper.flv" title="Sample Video" rel="width:400,height:410"> <img class="boxed" src="images/thorTrudy.jpg" alt="thor" border="0" /> [/url]</div> <hr id="system-readmore" /> It worked, I could click on the pic and a video popped up. I do the exact same thing for the traction template and I just end up with the code displaying on the frontend in the article, no pic and no video popup. I have the ``articlesanywhere` plugin installed and enabled in traction just like in comaxium too. Does anyone have an idea where I went wrong? Thank you.

Sorry Mike I don't have an url it is not live, it is just on local host for development for now. But I cut and pasted this off the frontpage html module 'Test Drive' <a href="/thorin/images/videos/ThorCPRIrock.mp4" id="mb1" class="s5mb" title="Image Example #1:"> <img src="/thorin/images/thorTrudy.jpg" class="boxed" alt="" /> [/url] <div class="s5_multibox mb2">Multiple Image #1. It can support <strong>html</strong></div>

Hello,
That code looks fine. If it's not working I would need to be able to see it live, or I have no way to debug it for you.

Okay thanks. I will uninstall and reinstall Traction and try again. It also may be that the 'articles anywhere' plugin that gives a button in a module. to click and insert an article (an article contains that multibox code) does not work in Traction? Is there anything like that in a plugin, made by shape5? I can't figure out why it works so well in Comaxium but not in Traction, weird. I tried again with a different video, when I put the code in it is href="/images/videos.. etc, but when it shows up on the front page, it appears thus: <div style="height: 76px; overflow: hidden;"><a id="mb1" class="s5mb" href="/thorin/images/videos/HappyCamper.flv" title="Sample Video" rel="width:400,height:410"> <img class="boxed" src="/thorin/images/thorTrudy.jpg" alt="thor" border="0" /> [/url]</div> So somewhere somehow the 'thorin' got put in (which is what I named the main site folder,. which the traction instillation is named. Maybe that is the problem somehow, the path.

I don't think it's an issue with the articles anywhere plugin as I tried it another way. I made a newsflash module, it takes articles from newsflash category and puts on frontpage in that module. I put that code in a newsflash article, but the code just shows up again on the frontpage and does not show an image or popup a vidieo. this is so frustrating

Hello,
As I stated above, I have no way to debug this for you if the site is not live. I need to see it live in order to debug this for you. I am not familiar with the articles anywhere plugin, perhaps that plugin is stripping the multibox tags.

The only way you could see it 'live' right now I guess would be to do some kind of remote.

Hello,
You would need to publish your site to a live test site and then I can view it from there.

I wouldn't mind the remote at all, thanks. There's no way to get it live right now unfortuneately.

Hello,
I'm sorry we do not provide remote assistance. I would need to be able to see if on a live test service in order to debug this. I would suggest installing the site shaper on your localhost, make sure it works in the new install, and then copy over the exact code to your site and just modify the image calls.
