form in modal box

[prophoto]

I found this old thread which talks about adding a form in a modal box but its not working, it opens the link in the same window without the modal box. Once the form is submitted I'd like the box to close or show a close box button if auto close after a few seconds is not possible.

Check my lwns site. Module #123 shows on the homepage only when logged into the frontend.

The documentation for this was out of date for 3.1, I've updated the wiki page:

Please note the PHP code near the beginning which needs to be added to load up the correct js files:

<?php
FabrikHelperHTML::script(FabrikHelperHTML::framework());
FabrikHelperHTML::iniRequireJS();
FabrikHelperHTML::windows('a.myFabWin');
?>

Still not working. Its now module id #126.

There's something wrong with the way you added the php into the template as it appears to have been added in as text? As in I can see it in the page source code, where as it should be run as php on the server side, and thus nothing shown in the page source.

I had tried to use it in a module so it only loads on the pages its needed. I tried adding your code to the template's index.php but it gives me wsod.

you can't write PHP in a module - it coverts it to text. You might be able to use a plugin like directphp to enable you to add the php in the module.
I tried doing what i suggested - putting it in the Joomla template and for me t works - here's a video of what I did :

I'm glad it works well in the default joomla template but its still not working in my template. Please take a look.

BTW it was a module that is supposed to allow php code called 'blank module'.

Are you sure that's a Fabrik 3.1 site?

Looks like 3.0 to me. Which would explain why iniRequireJS() doesn't exist, as that wasn't added till 3.1.

oups its a Joomla 2.5 site with Fabrik 3.0.9. I'll move this thread to the correct board once I've replied.

So as per the wiki page (http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/javascript-window-class/) you should use the Fabrik 3.0 code:

<?php FabrikHelperHTML::framework();
FabrikHelperHTML::windows('a.myFabWin'); ?>

I did exactly the same as in my previous video but on a Joomla 2.5 site with Fabrik 3.0.x, just replacing the php code with the 3.0 version and it works for me.

Yeah big oops on my side... That would explain it! I've upgraded the site to the latest git and added the correct php code to the template. The popup is showing at the bottom of the browser window and the hidden fields are showing in the box (ip, id, date, etc). Ideas?

 

[prophoto]

Any way to darken the background?

 

[prophoto]

I think its missing CSS too. What do I need to load into the print template to fix?

 

[prophoto]

How do I make the box close after the form has been submitted?
