Which third-party lightbox works best with Qcubed?
Tue, 03/02/2010 - 03:03
I am looking at putting a basic lightbox that works with iframes, some use jquery and some other flavors of javascript.
What works for folks? not sure if the old 1.2.6 jquery used can work with some of these frameeworks, so debating whether to add a different framework in addition to jquery since I don't think I can update the jquery.
Thanks.
I would use one of jquery lightbox plugins.
Why are you stuck with the old 1.2.6 jquery?
Can you recommend one?
The reason I'm stuck is because the notes in the core say to stay on 1.2.6 -- and actually when I changed to 1.4.+ it did break things....
Anyway, I'd like to be able to just use iframes and then use the existing QForm structure.
Right now we have this whole todo to use lightboxes creating a separate controller and that doesn't seem to be the way to go.
Examples and sample code would be appreciated, as well as a specific lightbox.
Thanks.
Hi, still wondering if someone has actually used a lightbox based on jquery and able to display regular qforms via the ? I would prefer to do that, right now, creating separate controllers and that's not been a good approach.
I have used http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/ with QCubed 1.1.1
See the "how to use" section on how to integrate it. make sure you output html in the form that is supported, call lightbox and you are set.
The lightbox isn't for an image, it's to contain an entire qform rendered as page.php, will it work?
My apologies, I must have misunderstood your question.
