Feeling bad any how and started to write a blog if that makes me smile

….Hei ‘time‘ I am too emotional … I can kill you if u make me sad again and again !

Any one regular reader of my blog can remember I developed a joomla module Simple tabslider for joomla1.5 (joomla extension link, my blog post Home made tab and slider module for joomla1.5). I developed it using the joomla native tab slider html helper that is known is JPane. Joomla has a great library for html …. check joomla dir libraries\joomla\html (windows style dir …. I like to use windows all time).

Ok if you are familiar with joomla then if you are in admin panel and in just article manager then you should see a button in right side named “Parameter”. Click that parameter… what do u see ? a popup box right. it’s a modal window, joomla native modal or popup window. Did u think which javascript is used to make this … let me tell you if you don’t …. go to media\system\js and see there is js file named “modal.js”

So let’s try to use that modal window in front end ?

Open index.php file of your joomla template and put these two line

<?php JHTML::_('behavior.mootools'); JHTML::_('behavior.modal'); ?>

before

Now the syntax is like bellow … in any content link any thing like bellow

<a rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 700, y: 400}}" class="modal" href="http://google.com">click me</a><br /><br />

so what u have to put is a class name “modal“, in a rel tag handler and window size

handler iframe, images etc .. and size is window size (width and height) in the anchor tag url put what u want to load url(link), iframe or image etc.

This is just a simple example how we are can load external site in a modal window … using joomla native modal , using joomla html helper.

this is how we can load image in iframe

<a rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 540, y: 400}}" class="modal" href="images/joomla_logo_black.jpg">click me</a><br /><br />

Ok now let’s change the handler to image and put this code, see the modal window is now as the image size

<br /><br />
<a rel="{handler: 'image', size: {x: 540, y: 400}}" class="modal" href="images/joomla_logo_black.jpg">click me</a><br /><br />

try more and let me us know.

Let’s come to my blog post title “How to add extra fields in joomla registration and profile”. I was searching for solution about this but most common solution was put extra fields as joomla user meta tag. Don’t know about this ? Go to edit any user from admin panel then check right side… there are some option to choose language, timezone etc…. they are called ‘user meta’ in joomla. I tried how to hack core how to do that… don’t you like to change joomla core files ? what to do when you need to do that as a client’s requirement and if client doesn’t care about changing core files …. heh heh. So let me show you how you can add extra fields in joomla registration and profile changing core files. Hei I have tried to change less as much as possible, really! …continue reading How to add extra fields in joomla registration
