Modal compose form

Hi

New user with CB and UddeIM.

I'd like UddeIM compose to appear in a modal (popup / lightbox) window

It doesnt seem to be an option out of the box, and I've searched but I cant find anything that seems to work.

Have I missed something obvious, or if it doesnt exist has any body done this?

Any tips or pointers gratefully accepted.

thnx

c.

I am sorry but this feature is not available.

Hi

thx for reply

Ok yea I figured out afterwards it wasnt there.
So how to make it work? Well this is what I think...
I already have the makings of the modal box
And I had a look at the code, and it seems that if I do this in uddeim.php:
1) add a new $task case
2) copy uddeIMnewMessage to uddeIMnewModalMessage
and strip out some stuff, mainly just comment out the top menu:
//uddeIMprintMenu($myself, 'new', $item_id, $config);
and fiddle about with css

3) then create link for my modalbox like this
with those hacks I'm almost there
well it does work - it just doesnt submit via an ajax call so the whole page refreshes rather than the modal win closing and return to the existing page

So I'll have a look at the form submit.

does that make any sense - or will the uddeIM world explode around me?!

tnx

Hi
can you please provide the full code for the uddim.php in order to have the modal popup to send messages? Or maybe even step by step instructions wher to ad your code?
much appreciated, thanks!

Hi

yea I did get it to work OK - altho from memory it was a bit of a hack.

And I think that is pretty much step by step how I did it.
Except the form submit bit - which I cant remember(!) or get to just now. I'll see if I can dig it out and post it up here, but it might be a day or two.

Anyway it wasnt that difficult --- and it ought really to be an option in the package.
