Rokbox is a MooTools application similar to Lightbox2. It has lots of nifty little features that Lightbox2 does not have such as loading an entire browser window in a Lightbox2 lookin window, you could even browse from that window as well. Ya it's a weird feature, I have no idea what it could be used for, but its a cool little feature. You can see all the features of Rokbox here: http://www.rocketwerx.com/products/rokbox/overview

This is a very tiny module, it was built as a quickie proof of concept for the jQuery Compatibility Mode module. I figured if I was going to make a proof of concept module, why not make it something worth while. So I figured that since Lightbox2 seems to be so popular, why not bring Mootools own Lightbox2 like app to the ring and show off Rokbox ;) Its quite useable in it's current state, below is an example usage:

<?php
$rokbox
['src_width'] = '450';
$rokbox['src_height'] = '278';
$rokbox['thumb_width'] = '50';
$rokbox['thumb_height'] = '';
$rokbox['title'] = 'tester';
$rokbox['alt'] = 'test alt tag';
$rokbox['src'] = 'http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/vxr8_newhi012_450-op.jpg';
$rokbox['thumb'] = '/d6/sites/all/modules/rokbox/examples/images/vxr8_thumb.jpg';
echo
get_rokbox($rokbox);
?>

You can find the proof of concept site here: http://crystaldawn.net/d6 This is site shows MooTools working right along side Lightbox2 and Collapsible fields! All without touching any core files. Just drop the modules in and away you go. The biggest problem is getting PECL/Apd installed for your PHP installation. Once you get over that hump, your drupal can then use a whole new world of applications from no just Mootools, but any other JS library as well. You will no longer be locked downto just jQuery apps!!

If anyone has any interest in taking this module further, please let me know and I'll give you CVS access to it and you can modify it all you like. Just dont break it ;)
