   On my Modular home page I include a video portfolio section using the Additional Homepage Text feature to show a page that uses this shortcode: [portfolio_grid column="3" showposts="3" cat="featured-videos" disable="more,visit"]
   Most people would want it to work in the default way, where you click a thumbnail and the video opens in the lightbox.
   I want these 3 videos to play in place. Can the lightbox be disabled in this case?

   Hello innov8iv,

   If you place the URL in this field when editing your portfolio post, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Using_the_Portfolio#Lightbox_Image, the video will display instead of the image on your homepage.

   Thanks for you quick reply. I think I know what you mean. I may have discovered it accidentally when I was first setting it up . . . before I had created feature images for the portfolio posts.
   So, does this mean the choice is between: default Vimeo thumbnail shows and video plays in place OR desired feature image shows as thumbnail and video plays in LightBox?

   Yes, you can either have the video play on the page or open it up in prettyPhoto.

   Well, I thought I was following you, but i just changed the portfolio page and the video still plays in the lightbox. Here is the homepage:
