You can do this in two simple steps:

1. Go to your Download Anywhere configuration settings. (This link can be found in the email you received when you first set the Download Anywhere).
2. Under Advanced Configuration Settings, add a link to an image of your choice. This image will be set up as the background of the Download Anywhere modal.

Display your widget in a lightbox over any URL on the web

Once you've created your Download Anywhere Confirmation URL, you can append a simple variable to it to create a whole new tool for your promotional widgets. Paste &fb=1 to the end of your Confirmation URL like so:

This will open a lightbox on top of your Confirmation URL (as usual), but will display your actual widget, rather than a download link. Click here to visit a working example.

Use Download Anywhere to display any widget on any page

You can use Download Anywhere to launch any widget you can think of in a light box on any page on the web. Just follow this two step process:

1.) Find Advanced Widget Link Settings in your Download Anywhere configuration page, and enter an embed code for any widget you'd like, including:

Streaming players

Customized Email for Media widgets

Vimeo players

Mini modals with multiple elements

Anything that can displayed in an <iframe>

Make sure to alter your widget width and height parameters so that your widget fits perfectly inside the lightbox!

2.) Once you've saved your Advanced Widget Link Settings, take your Confirmation URL and append &fb=3 to the end of it, like so:

The new link (including &fb=3) will display your embedded code in a light box on any page on the web! Click to see this in action!

More Optional Settings

Title of Page

This field will adjust the title of the confirm page that fans see in their browser tab.

What page does Twitter link to?

This should be a URL that has the widget on it. The URL we set by default shows the widget in a lightbox on top of the page you have chosen for fans to download from. If you want to change this URL make sure the widget is on the page you choose.

What page does Facebook link to?

This should be a URL that has the widget on it. The page must also have proper Facebook share vars installed on the page so that Facebook sharing works properly. We handle this all for you with the default URL we set. If you want to change this URL, the Facebook share vars that you will need to install on your page are below for you to copy and paste. If you are uncomfortable with this, you should not change this from the default URL.

What page do you want fans to download from?

This is the URL that fans will land on after they close the lightbox.

Popup background color?

This changes the color of the overlay in the background when the lightbox is present.

Download button initial color

This changes the color of the download button

Download button hover color

This changes the color of the hover of the download button

Share tweet

This is the text that will be autopopulated when a fan shares to twitter. You cannot use quotation marks. Single quotes (apostrophes) are OK.

Via @

Add your twitter handle here and it will be included in the autopopulated tweet as well.

Add related info +

If you add twitter users here, after the fan tweets, Twitter will suggest the fan follow the users selected here.

Related Info User:

the twitter handle of the user to be suggested

The field that appears below the Related Info User:

Identifier for who this user is (Ex - boomcat: Bass Player)

Facebook Headline

This is the headline of the post fans will share to Facebook.

Facebook Call to Action

This should be a few words and explain what action you want fans to take after clicking the link

Sharing file type

This is set to the e4m widget you selected by default. You can choose from the other options though and then when fans click "share on facebook" they will share that instead (i.e. a streaming player, or an image).

Widget ID

This is the widget ID of the e4m widget that will be shared on Facebook. Chances are, there is no need for this, but perhaps you want to share a widget with slightly different headline text than your original widget, still offering up the same piece of media. If so, just enter the other widget's ID here.

Artist ID

This is your Topspin artist ID.

Highlight Color

This is the highlightcolor of your widget when shared to Facebook.

Theme Color

This chooses the theme color of your widget when shared to Facebook.

Display initial screen

When checked, the widget will display the initial screen when shared to Facebook.

Facebook image thumbnail

This is the URL to the thumbnail you see when the widget is share to Facebook. This is a Topspin logo by default. You can change it to whatever you'd like: typically, the cover art for the song you are giving away.

Sharing file width & height

This is the width and height of the widget shared to Facebook. The default settings display on Facebook perfectly.

Facebook Share Vars

If you want, you can put these share vars inside the <head> tag of any page you control. If you do so, when you share that page's URL on Facebook, it will display the widget (or player, or image) as determined in the Facebook share vars above (save first and then copy/paste this code).

Your unique awe.sm API Key

Do not change this unless you have your own awe.sm account.

Campaign promoted

Do not change this unless you have your own awe.sm account.

Customer support link

This is the customer support link that shows in the confirm/download light box. It should not be changed.

Advanced Confirm Settings - For Facebook Links

When a fan clicks "Share on Facebook" or "Share on Twitter" from the Confirmation light box, the link that they post to Facebook or Twitter is your widget in a lightbox. Here, you can control the height and width of the widget. We apply the following flashvars automatically: imageVAlign=top, displayInitialScreen=false

Widget width

Change the width of your widget so when fans click on a shared link from Facebook (or Twitter by default) it looks how you want it to.

Widget height

Change the height of your widget so when fans click on a shared link from Facebook (or Twitter by default) it looks how you want it to.

Advanced Confirm Settings - Without Download

When your e4m does not give away media, instead of displaying the generic "thanks" light box, you can show an image.

Please enter the link to the image

This is the URL to where your image is hosted.

Image width

This is the width at which you want your image to display.

Image height

This is the height at which you want your image to display.

Modal Close Text

Set the text next to the [x] button of the lightbox.

Advanced Confirm Settings - With Download

When your e4m does give away media, instead of displaying the generic "downloaad" light box, you can show an image instead. The download button will then appear below your image.
