terms of service popup

Hey guy's here I am with another question 😀

How can I put a popup link on my form for users to read the terms of service without leaving the form?

Thanks,

Hi samoht,

Just did this

<?php
$doc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addScript(JURI::base().'media'.DS.'system'.DS.'js'.DS.'modal.js');
$doc->addStyleSheet(JURI::base().DS.'media'.DS.'system'.DS.'css'.DS.'modal.css');
$script = "window.addEvent('domready', function() {
	SqueezeBox.initialize({});
	$$('a.modal').each(function(el) {
		el.addEvent('click', function(e) {
			new Event(e).stop();
			SqueezeBox.fromElement(el);
		});
	});
});";
?>
. . .
<div>Please read the <a rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 600, y: 400}}"
  href="http://www.example.com/components/. . path to file . . ./tandc.php"
  class="modal">Terms and Conditions</a> carefully, they tell you what you need
  to do before and during your training.</div>

This uses the Squeezebox that comes with Joomla and is set up to load an external file. See the SqueezeBox (or ThickBox) docs for moe info.

very cool!

Bob can you help me with this path a little more?

http://www.example.com/components/. . path to file . . ./tandc.php

when you say /.. path to file .../
does this mean the whole relative path to the article?

To be more specific,

I have my whole site showing up in my box instead of just the article.

Hey Bob,

Thanks again for the timely and awesome help!

I figured out away by just linking to an external file instead of a article inside the site. -

Thanks again!!

Also, just a note if any newbies read this thread - when you use the SqueezeBox - code found in the Doc's - make sure the code is Kosher! some of the tags may not be formatted exactly correct ( e.g. ? > instead of ?>).

Hi samoht,

Sorry, I missed a bit out. Yes that was a link to an external file. You can use a site page and get the content without the template framework by adding &tmpl=component to the url.

Cool,

however, I tried this and noticed that it will not include any external CSS
So the link to an external page worked better for me.

Still, this is a very elegant solution - Thanks again for the help!
