Joomla 1.7 popup extension to load module inside

Question

Please let me know, if there any extensions available to display module inside the popup, and popup should load after user login.

Scernario :

• I have opinion poll module, which should popup once after user login into the website.
• I need to specify the module from the backend, either by id or module position.
• The user will vote for the poll after login into the website and close the popup after voting.
• It will be great if it is Non-commercial extensions.

Please suggest me on this.

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to create an override for your module (see http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_2.5) and wrap it inside a modal, then set it to registered only. If your site uses Twitter Bootstrap (which most commercial Joomla templates do these days) you can use the markup here: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#modals

You'll need some basic knowledge of HTML & PHP to achieve this though.

Try this,

You can load any module inside popup or any other page(in ajax page too).By using the following codes

 $document = &JFactory::getDocument();
 $renderer = $document->loadRenderer('module');

 $Module = &JModuleHelper::getModule('mod_fmDataGrid');

 $Params = "param1=bruno\n\rparam2=chris";//This will only required when you pass module params through code
 $Module->params = $Params;
 echo $renderer->render($Module);

You can create the popup ,The section generating popup content try the above code too.

Hope this may help you..
