sigplus does not have official Facebook support. Facebook is a heavily commercial site whereas sigplus is completely free, and sigplus has no intention to promote a for-profit company. In addition, the Facebook API is difficult to integrate in a natural way with applications that go beyond the simple scenario of "liking" a specific page, as would be the case with images shown in a lightbox pop-up window. Nonetheless, upon specific user request (accompanied by a donation), some Facebook support was added to sigplus, which is available via the in-line parameter lightbox (or as a Custom setting in the administration back-end):

Code: Select all

{gallery lightbox="boxplus.facebook"}fruit{/gallery}
Other than what is discussed in the sigplus documentation, there is absolutely no (free) support associated with the Facebook variant of the boxplus pop-up window.
