The Joomla! Forum ™

I am developing a booking extensions with a plugin contain a Book Now Button that will be placed on specific articles with the website. The button plugin is supposed to grab the page tittle, page url in hidden form elements and pass it on to the booking form so that when the email is sent out it is easier to know which page the user was on.

It easier to capture that in my plugin with the following code. The complicated part is to get the actual booking form to show in a modal window showing page title, and page url on the pop window.


$form .='<form action="' . $uri->toString( ) . '" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" name="adminForm" id="adminForm">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="button" id="stf_submitbutton" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="bookingview" />
<input type="hidden" name="layout" value="book_layout" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_xxx" />
<input type="hidden" name="articleId" value="'.$ArticleID.'" />
<input type="hidden" name="articletitle" value="'.$ArticleTitle.'" />
<input type="hidden" name="articleId" value="'.$ArticleID.'" />

</form>';

$stf = '<div id="stf">' . "\n" . $form . "\n" . '</div>';

// REPLACE {sendtofriend} tag with STF
$text = JString::str_ireplace('{booknow}', $stf, $text);


For the pop to show i am using
$link = 'index.php?&option=com_bookingcomponent&amp;view=bookview&amp;layout=book_layout&amp;tmpl=component&amp;id='.$ArticleID;

and passing it here

<a class="modal" onClick href="'.$link.'" rel="{handler: \'iframe\', size:{x: 600, y: 500}}">'.JText::_('Request Info').'</a>

here it get very mess. i can't display the hidden elements in the form. How do i get it working.

Who will come to my rescue??

Finally i figured it out all by myself, i applaud me efoort. So all i need to do was
$url= $uri->toString( );
$link = 'index.php?&option=com_mycomponet&amp;view=myview&amp;layout=mylaoyut&amp;tmpl=component&amp;Variable1='.$vars1.'&amp;Variable1='.$vars2;

$html =' <a class="modal input" href="'.$link.'" rel="{handler: \'iframe\', size:{x: 600, y: 500}}">Click Me</a>' ;

$stf = '<div id="shell">' . "\n" . $html. "\n" . '</div>';
