[SOLVED] Edit record in a lightbox

I have read 24 pages of lightbox posts on the forum. I have reviewed the tutorials. But I am still not sure how to open a record in a lightbox for editing!

I am using the latest versions of Chronoforms and Chronoconnectivity. I have a developed a Chronoconnectivty view using the the Custom Code option under frontend listings. From there I have successfully implemented links to edit each record that appears in the listing. I have used

<td style='font-size:12px; text-align: left !important';><a class= href="http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=125&task=cc_edit_data&cid=<?php echo $cfid;?>">Edit Normal</a></td>

and everything works perfectly.

Now, what I really want to do is to have the form I am using for editing appear in a lightbox. So after reading the excellent tutorials, I configured my form to run in a lightbox. I came up with this for linking my form.

<td style='font-size:12px; text-align: left !important';><a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=AirframeCurrentStatus&tmpl=component" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 1000, y: 310}}">Add LB</a></td>

This works perfectly and displays my form in a lightbox.

So the next step is to get the form in the lightbox to load the record for editing just like my non-lightbox form. I have tried the obvious but this just isn't working.

<td style='font-size:12px; text-align: left !important';><a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=AirframeCurrentStatus&tmpl=component&task=cc_edit_data&cid=<?php echo $cfid;?>" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 1000, y: 310}}">Edit LB</a></td>

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for a great product and excellent support!

HI skittle,

I'm not clear where $cfid comes from but there are obvious differences in the URLs that you are using:

http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=125&task=cc_edit_data&cid=<?php echo $cfid;?>

and

index.php?option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=AirframeCurrentStatus&tmpl=component&task=cc_edit_data&cid=<?php echo $cfid;?>

The first is a CC URL, the second is a ChronoForms one. Have you tried:

index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&view=connection&Itemid=125&tmpl=component&task=cc_edit_data&cid=<?php echo $cfid;?>

Thank you very much! Works perfectly.

I'm buying this round. Enjoy your beers!
