Form pop-up window function?

All Topics → → Form pop-up window function?

Hi there.  Quick question.  Does formidable have a built in function to create a form that will generate as a pop-up window (ie. a smaller screen displayed on top of the current page)?  That would be very cool.

This isn't built into our plugin (yet), but it is pretty easy to do with the use of a plugin like this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/prettyphoto-media/

Thanks very much for the tip, Steve.  So I could embed a Formidable form shortcode into a pop-up window in that plugin?  It's not just for images and video?

Yep, that plugin can be used for a lot of different type of content. The easiest way to do this would be to use the iFrame option and simply use the "preview" URL for your form. A full list of the types of content and examples can be found here:http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/

An example of the Link you would use once that plugin is active would be:
<a href="http://www.apple.com?iframe=true&width=500&height=250" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]">Apple.com</a>

You would just replace apple.com with the URL of your preview page so the link would look like:
<a href="/index.php?plugin=formidable&controller=forms&frm_action=preview&form=2wsvmm&iframe=true&width=500&height=250" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]">Open form in a pop-up</a>
