    Hey man, you're a genius..

    How did you get the small youtube working? Is there a way to change the hyperlink that connects to the greybox into an image of the video?

    Hi, you place just the YouTube link (Embedded) on a BV page on it own & publish. Then using the grey box, use one of the link codes to call for this page. Just made the background of the YouTube page dark grey.

    Hi,

    I can't get this installed. I have followed the installation guide - where do you put the step 2 scripts? In the header section?

    Hi jon, i take it you have uploaded the 10/11 files to your site from the download at grey box? Just the ones in the folder greybox.

    Then entered both these into the head of your page.

    Then using one of these links to how you might want the greybox to appear. These get entered in a page html box that goes on the front of your BV page.

    Nice one. Its quite a flexible little tool. Maybe worth keeping an eye on the google threads about it. There are a couple of glitches some have had.

    Good luck.
