This tutorial explains how you display an image gallery in FireBoard with a Shadowbox js popup.

There are many ways to do this. But I will explain the simplest way to do it.

Requirements
Access to FireBoards core files in the components/fireboard/sources directory
Ninja Shadowbox - A free Joomla extension for easy shadowbox integration.

Step 1
Download the Shadowbox module. Mambots only manipulate content. Therefore you need to download the module in order to make it work in FireBoard. Make sure you download the right module for you're version of Joomla.

Step 2
Replace the file interpreter.fireboard.inc.php in the yoursite.com/components/com_fireboard/sources/ directory with the attached file.



Step 3
Configure the Shadowbox module to display on the FB menu link.
The most important setting is which js library you want to use.

If you have a working Mootools friendly FB on you're site then set the module to include the Mootools library.

If you have a Mootools stripped template running on the FB menu link to solve the never-ending jQuery vs Mootools conflict then choose to include the jQuery library.

Then publish and watch shadowbox do it's magic

If you need help on how to make FB work on a Mootools heavy template on you're site then I would be happy to help

Sidenote: The file included adds a image class to you're FB images. Add the class fb_img in you're FB templates forum.css to control the width on you're images
