    • So, I'm just wondering how I can do this in Joomla (1.0.15)

      www.bustedthumbs.com/game/detail.do?productBundleId=17814

      If you go to that link, click on "Free Download" - you get a pop - up and the background fades - I guess I just need a code example of how to set this up in Joomla. Also, when you click anywhere off of the popup, it closes and the window becomes un-faded - kinda nifty...

      You guys are a bright bunch, so I was wondering if there was a general way to do this, or could at least point me to a place to get started. I'm using template Replicant.

      Thanks :)

    • Reuben - check out RokZoom. That's what you're looking for.

    • Cool, I will check it out - never thought of using it for anything other than images - however, how can I fade the background? Also, what if I wanted to remove "Close" and just simply have the user click off of the pop-up to go back to the page? I know there is code to do that somewhere, just gotta look...

      Anyway, I was looking in my replicant index.php file for the ability to enable rokzoom, but I couldn't find it in there - In reference to another post that said to look for:
      ode:

      $enable_rokzoom = "true"; // true | false

      My index.php does not have this :/

      Thanks for your help,

    • Perhaps I should better clarify what I'm needing..

      Aside from adding my own DIV and functions for links, I want to be able to have someone click a link, and a new window pops up with another web page (which will be a customer check out page). Now, with rokzoom, you can specify an image, but what about opening just a web link?

      I guess my hold up is how to do this easily within a module, component, etc.. or am I going to have to code it in myself to get what I want? If it looks like Rokzoom will provide the functionality for what I'm asking, then I will continue to focus on that.

      Thanks,

      Reuben

    • Wow, that seems perfect.
      i know you don't support this, and I won't blame you if you can't help but, I will at least throw it out there in the hopes it will may be a quick answer.

      Yea, I'm a noob. But when I install the Module and then published it. It gives the option to select the "mootools" library, which is there by default. Just to test, I created a New Article, so I was going to use an "href" and then make sure the shadowbox was loaded for the link - is there a specific call I need to make sure it uses Shadowbox when I click on the link?

      I found this code on the Ninjoomla forum, but that's about it - it reference an image:
      <a href="/images/myimage.jpg" rel="shadowbox">My Image</a>

      sooo, I created an <a href=" www.subsixzero.com " rel="shadowbox">Home</a>

      in the HTML of the GUI when creating the article. I set it up on a menu item, published it - but then the link just simply opened the web site without the popup. When I went back to the article, my "rel=shadowbox" was gone.

      So, if I'm referencing a link, the module is installed and published - where can I ensure that shadowbox is enabled?

      This is really the last piece of the puzzle..
      Thanks :)

    • Hi Reuben,
      I do support the extension... just not here :)

      It sounds like the WYSIWYG editor is stripping out the rel="shadowbox".
      See www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?t=24314&rb_v=viewtopic

      Hope that helps. If after you sort that and are able to publish the article without the rel=shadowbox being stripped out and STILL have issues, post on the Ninjoomla forums so Richie(the developer) can have a look at it.


      Cheers
