Fanceebox

Fanceebox is a very basic accessory though, very useful. What it does is add fancybox to the control panel so you can call it from your custom fields' labels.

Read this article for a bit more context on adding HTML to your field labels.

You can add popups links to images, galleries and websites directly within your publish/edit page. These can be external or internal.

To Do Thoughts

• Would be nice to setup this up in such a way to allow the editing of the fancybox options. Currently any adjustments have to be made manually in the fanceebox.js file. This would probably have to turn into an extension.
