Lightbox Confirmation Message

Hi guys,
A client is worried that the confirmation message might be missed due to the design of the website.
He would prefer if the confirmation message was popped up in a light box.

Is there anything built into Chronoforms to perform this task.

I have taken a look around and cant see anything and also searched on the forums but to no avail.

Any ideas how to go about this?

Cheers

Hi dr.pepper,

You can use a System message easily enough (one of those blue messages that Joomla! creates). I'm not sure about triggering a modal window when a page loads though I guess it must be possible with a little JavaScript.

You can set up your confirmation message so that the page scrolls directly to the relevant div id like this:

<?php
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$js = "
  window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    document.getElementById('thanks-message').scrollIntoView();
  });
";
$document->addScriptDeclaration($js);
?>
<div id="thanks-message">
<h2>Thank you for your interest.</h2>
<p>Your inquiry has been submitted and we will be in contact soon.</p>
</div>

which is probably simpler than a lightbox window.

If you have your heart set on a lightbox, maybe try the "Modals" plug-in from NoNumber. Basic functionality is free.
