pop-up lightbox form

Postby mekon on Fri Jul 18, 2008 3:43 pm

hi there, i was wondering if its possible to have a form load in a pop-up window using lightbox. I have yootools effects installed which includes lightbox, you just give a link a <rel=""> tag and it does the job for you. I want to be able to get a user to click on a link on a normal page, which then loads the form in a lightbox window..rather than the default template page.

Using 1.5

Hi mekon,

You could try using the ChronoForms plugin to put the form inside the lightbox. Or perhaps more easily you could use Joomla's built-in modal html code - there's an example in {root}/libraries/joomla/html/toolbar/button/popup.php

Hi mekon,

normall a lightbox will need a link with class="lightbox" and a parameter link inlineID for the div id to have the content to be shown inside the box!

so all you need is the lightbox mambot or the JS files and a link and the form inside the div and this is done!

Cheers
