Modals

Introduction

Modals - make links open in modal popups.

Modals is a powerful plugin that allows you to easily create cool modal popups on your site.

Modal popup windows are fancy popups also known as Lightboxes.

You can make modals / lightboxes for whatever you want: text, articles, other internal pages, external pages, images, videos, and even full-blown Modal Image Galleries & Slideshows with thumbnail creation.

Modals is packed with options to control the modal popups.
★ Full control over styling (via styling options and CSS)
★ Define dimensions
★ Create image popups quickly and easily
★ Make modal image galleries and slideshows automatically Pro only
★ Make popups open on pageload, or with a delay Pro only
★ Open Menu Items in modals
★ And much more...

There are several ways Modals can covert links:
★ Via the special Modal tags {modal ...}...{/modal}
★ By class names (all links with defined class names)
★ All external links
★ By target="_blank" (all links with a target. Internal and/or external)
★ By filetypes (all links to given filetypes)
★ By url matches (also supports regular expressions)

The Modal tags are simple:

{modal url="link/to/the/page"}Click here!{/modal}

Modals also comes with a handy editor button to help you insert the code you need.

I was looking for a way to provide trial downloads on my sales page without navigating away to a new page and this plugin provided me with the solution.

This plugin is simply awesome. Too good to be free :)

Many thanks..

Regards,

Carty..

Took a while to understand that tags go straight into WYSIWYG editor ie link

but Peter explained it to on his forum and walked me through the steps. Works great! Thankyou Peter for a cool extension and generous support! Kudos.

Great stuff

Is there an alternative product with the same possibilities and the same quality. I could not find it in the past. This one is the solutions of my problems.

Awesome plugin with tricky Javascript behind the scene

First of all, Thanks Peter for this awesome plugin! Very helpful and elegant solution for modals/lightbox/overlay

BUT if you are planning to use this plugin have in mind these tips:

- Internally, it uses MooTools and jQuery components, so maybe you can face conflicts with existing modules in your page. It took me a while to understand what was happening behind the scene (Firefox/Firebug can help you a lot with this)

- You need to be really focused in not missing any

classname for modals links

- Support is great! got feedback within hours!

- If you want to put a modal directly from a menu, this plugin works great with CustoMenu

- IMO, this plugin is not for newbies with a next-next-finish approach, you will need to read/dig the developers' forum to search a head away.

Owner's reply: All extensions that use javascript (libraries) are prone to conflicts with other scripts.

You say "You need to be really focused in not missing any classname for modals links"
Yes, if you choose the option to modalize links based on the classname... it is logical to have to make sure the links have that.
But you can also use the {modal} syntax or modalize all links with a target="_blank".

Great tool - worked on the first try!

I spent hours today trying to find a way to handle popups in Joomla and finally came across this plugin. I was up and running within MINUTES of installing it. Thanks so much for a great tool!

Modalizer

Best Module EVER!!!! sed it with several gadgets using the modal tags. EXCELLENT! No Bugs, No Conflicts. Works inside any module position.

Owner's reply: "No conflicts"? Well, that may be true for you. But Modalizer uses a mootools script for most of the Modal types. And that can cause conflicts with other extensions that use their own mootools script.

You can turn the Modalizer mootools scripts off. That usually helps.

Great Plug-In / Great Support

I love this plug-in! It works great right out of the box, has all the options (and more) that you want and need. With a little imagination you can use this for anything.

Let's not forget about the dev support. I had a small issue that he helped out with quite quickly.

I have used other mods/plugs from this developer as well, and have always had a good result.
