Use This:

Code: Select all

<?php JHTML::_('behavior.modal'); ?>
<a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_user&view=login&tmpl=component">login</a>

Cheers,

Awesome, this is such a simple solution to a problem that I have often tried to solve.

Hi guys,

I'm also interested in getting this to work but I don't understand how/where to use the php code mentioned.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction please?

Another option would be to use JCE editor and mediabox

Create a link in a 'Hidden menu'

Use JCE advanced link to create a link with a lightbox popup

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... editors/88

Thanks Webdongle,

your solutions sounds great but I'm having difficulties following your instructions.

how do I link to the plugin via the menu item?

I added the two extensions to joomla, switched my editor and enabled the media box. However, I think I need a more expanded explanation of what to do next, as my attempts at hacking (a technical term for stumbling around in the dark) seem not to have gotten anywhere. I would greatly appreciate instructions that presume I am a dummy. Thanks!

[Webdongle]

When you downloaded mediabox there is a link there called 'Documentation'

Clicking it leads to http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/supp ... cemediabox

I suggest #5 on the list there

I think the term to use is called RTFM (Read The Fine Manual)

[gilles007]

Webdongle...
I may be missing something here. checking the documentation, number5... appears to be:

"Select some text or an image to apply the link to (you can use the Image Manager to insert the image)."

this post is about linking from a menu item, not from an article. how does what you suggest come into play?

sorry for appearing ignorant but 2 of us can't follow what you're recommending.

any chance you could be clearer as to how to link the menu item directly to call the login component in a lightbox?

Thanks for trying to help us out.

@gilles007

any chance you could be clearer as to how to link the menu item directly to call the login component in a lightbox?

download the following module
Flexi Custom code
or
PHP By Fwd
Open that module and write this code:-

Code: Select all

<?php JHTML::_('behavior.modal'); ?>
<a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_user&view=login&tmpl=component">login</a>

but now a days people create such module also for you so can use there module also
Qlogin popup
YJpopup Login

make Sense

[gilles007]

Thanks kurchania, I'd love to use the modules/plugins you listed.

I know how to use these from an image withing an article, However, how do I trigger the popup (module or plugin) from a menu link?

[kurchania]

open any menu and change its type to external menu
write this line:-

Code: Select all

http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login&tmpl=component" class="modal

[gilles007]

ahhhh.... perfect!!!

Thanks kurchania! Now it makes sense!

If I want to use one of:
Qlogin popup
YJpopup Login

Do I still need to use an ext url??? if so, how would I determine the link?

I appreciate your help.

[kurchania]

hi gilles007,
nope they are module and you don't need to specify any external link for them.they will process automatically.just publish them like a normal module.
but remember if you have community builder ,K2 or any other component which can alter login than don't use them.

[gilles007]

Thanks, Luckily, I don't have K2 or CB.

Sorry but I still don't know how to link to a module from a menu link. When creating a menu link, there are options for articles, components, ext url, etc. but no option to link to a module.

how is this done?

[kurchania]

just enable the module.
read the document
no need for linking module to menu

[gilles007]

kurchania,

but this is what I need... to use a menu link to trigger the login in the lightbox. My template is very clean and I don't want to have a module position dedicated to the login. If I did, this would be very easy, just publish the module in a mod position and done.

but I want to do this via a menu link.

I hope this makes sense.

PS. I can't find documentation for YJpopup Login on YouJoomla's site. I got the plugin but no doc. I must be losing my mind.

[kurchania]

http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=co ... =component" class="modal
use this

[gilles007]

will this not trigger the standard joomla login component instead of to the stylish YJpopup Login that I want to use?

[gilles007]

FYI

I tried the code in a menu item, externa url type link:

http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=co ... =component" class="modal

didnt' work. It put the login component in an new page, not a lightbox.

[Webdongle]

class="modal

looks like a copy of the original typo to me

Try

class="modal"

[kurchania]

@gilles007
write this thing in your template manager.lets see if that work for you.
<?php JHTML::_('behavior.modal'); ?>

[gilles007]

kurchania

I just got it to work by using JCEpopup.
I may still try what you suggested as it would prevent me from loading another extension.
Thanks kindly for all your help.

Would be useful to know how you used JCE popup to work of a menu item please.

[kurchania]

hi gilles007,
Webdongle solution is perfect for you.he told u that thing very earlier
no more experiment from my side now.live life in a peace.

[gilles007]

Hi Webdongle,

I put this in as an external URL link:

Code: Select all

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=login&tmpl=component" rel="width[400];height[500];" class="jcepopup 

I hope that makes sense.
