Chronoconnectivity edit form into a lightbox ?

From chronoconnectivity, where you can choose to enable front end editing (thankyou Max, and Bob :wink: )...

<em>Last Updated: {last_updated} {edit_record}</em>

Is it possible to get the ensuing front end 'form' to appear in a lightbox?

Previously, to get the jcepopup 'method' to operate correctly in my dog document (just pick one to see - or adopt :wink: ) http://www.lurcher.org.uk/dogs-to-adopt, I had to do the following stuff:

(The reason was/is that allowing plugins to operate on my chronoform just doesn't want to work correctly - there is some incompatibility with Virtuemart that I have not been able to get to the bottom of - so I just worked around it 😶 )

$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStylesheet('/plugins/system/jceutilities/css/jceutilities-217.css');
$doc->addStylesheet('/plugins/system/jceutilities/themes/standard/css/style.css');
$doc->addScript('/plugins/system/jceutilities/js/mediaobject.js');
$doc->addScript('/plugins/system/jceutilities/js/jquery-126.js');
$doc->addScript('/plugins/system/jceutilities/js/jceutilities-217.js');
$doc->addScript('/media/system/js/mootools.js');
$doc->addScript('/media/system/js/caption.js');

That allowed me to make use of the jcepopup class stuff within the form itself.

So I think that I need to add class attributes to the {edit_record} clause at the 'view / table' level, not at the 'document' level.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

I have posted at the Chronoforms forums few days ago about how to show a form in a lightbox, I think that you need to use this technique and combine it with another one to generate the edit links with your code instead of using the {edit_record} text
