Lastly, you can add lightbox style popups to your content descriptions using the Word-style WYSIWYG editor, located in your Content Manager. Simply click on the 'Popup' button and add a video URL or local video file, choose the dimensions and save.
PetchCMS uses a lightbox popup system that allows you to embed nearly anything inside a cool-looking inline (non-annoying) popup, simply by adding a URL (website address). This means Youtube videos, Google maps, Flash Games, or just your favourite website (other than your own!).
To add popups, maybe an MSN map, you should start by clicking the 'popup' button in your WYSIWYG editor, shown when adding or editing your content in your Content Manager.
After clicking the 'popup' button (which looks like a TV) you should enter the URL of the webpage or map (or whatever) that you want to show. Enter the dimensions, click 'Submit', and save your content.
