How can I create modal dialog containing an iframe with dynamically changeable popup content for the source?

This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Description

This recipe creates a modal popup dialog tied to a special link where the link content is what gets displayed in the iframe popup.

Installation

Download popupiframe.phpΔ, copy to in cookbook directory and install by adding to local customisation file:

include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/popupiframe.php");

This recipe requires javascript.

You will also need to add the content of popupiframe.cssΔ to your skins css or preferabley, your pub/css/local.css file.

This adds two markups. A parameterless required markup called (:popiframe:) and a modified link using the markup %popiframe <parameters>%[[<link>]].

Usage:

 (:popiframe:)
 %popiframe name=mytarget%[[https://www.youtube.com/embed/omha5zJkAGM|Tux Racer]]
 %popiframe name=mytarget2%[[PmWiki.PmWiki?skin=null]]

The name=mytarget creats a target of #mytarget for the href. Without that parm all links will simply use # as the target which means if you click on one, they will all show up as followed.

Notes

 (:popiframe:)
 %popiframe name=mytarget%[[https://www.youtube.com/embed/omha5zJkAGM|Tux Racer]]
 %popiframe name=mytarget2%[[PmWiki.PmWiki?skin=null]]

For display wiki interior pages, I recommend to install a null skin null.zipΔ and installing and enabling the SkinChange recipe and make interior links use the null skin.

 (:popiframe:)
 %popiframe%[[PmWiki.PmWiki?skin=null]]
