The colorbox plugin uses ColorBox to provide a jQuery lightbox. ColorBox supports photos, grouping, slideshow, ajax, inline, and iframed content.

External requirements: This plugin requires the following additional components that must be installed separately:

• ColorBox - from the download you need only the following two files
  1. jquery.colorbox-min from the main download file
  2. colorbox.css from any one of the example folders

1. Install ColorBox. The action plugin looks for the following ColorBox files
   • lib/scripts/colorbox/colorbox.css
