I know how to create a button in HTML/javascript to display an article. However, I couldn't get the button to display the article in a modalizer window. I was assuming that I just had to add the class="modal" attribute, but it didn't work.

Is there a trick to get this to work?

Thanks,

Modalizer only works on the <a> tags. So if you add that class to the <a> tag, and set up the Modalizer system plugin correctly, it should work.

Hi Peter,

I tried the following without success:



Did I misunderstand your answer?

Thanks,

Yeah that won't work. The link needs to be on the <a> tag with a href. An onclick won't work. Now you just have an empty <a> tag. So Modalizer cannot see what page to open.

So best is to just make a normal link like:


Or use the tag syntax like:

Thanks Peter!

I don't really have a strong HTML/Java background and so I can easily go off in the wrong direction...

The second option works great for everything except the Community Builder registration form. I am guessing that there is something in the form that makes it incompatible with shadowbox. Basically, it only works with fancybox for that specific module... When I switch it to shadowbox it opens two new browser windows instead.

I might check in the CB forum if someone has an idea why it wouldn't work.

Best regards,

If it works with fancybox, it probably works with HighSlide too.
Those use jquery, the others use mootools.

Mootools is pretty fragile. When multiple extensions use their own mootools scripts, then you will probably get conflicts.
