Forms and result messages in modal box was created by mperezayala

Hello again.
Only a little enhacement. If you want to open the form in a modal windows, you can add the modal class to a link to the forms page and then add &tmpl=component too for show nothing but the form.
The problem is that when submiting the form, the messages url that inform us that the form was successfully/unsuccessfully send is hardcoded on controller.php and does not honour the existence of the &tmpl=component url param.

Here you have a diff from the original controller.php file and a modified one that respects this url param.

Code:

--- controller.original.php	2015-03-31 09:53:18.197815731 +0200
+++ controller.php	2015-03-31 10:32:10.242415655 +0200

         else if ((isset($visform->redirecturl) == false || $visform->redirecturl == "")
 			&& ((isset($visform->textresult) == true && $visform->textresult != ""))) 
         {
+            $input = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
+            if ( $tmpl = $input->get('tmpl','') ) {
+                $tmpl = "&tmpl=" . $tmpl;
+            }
             $message = JHTMLVisforms::replacePlaceholder($visform, $visform->textresult);
             $app->setUserState('com_visforms.form' . $visform->id . '.message', $message);
-            $this->setRedirect( "index.php?option=com_visforms&view=visforms&layout=message&id=".$visform->id);
+            $this->setRedirect( "index.php?option=com_visforms&view=visforms&layout=message&id=".$visform->id . $tmpl);
         }
         else
         {

You need too to include an override template of visforms form to include the url param &tmpl=component or a hidden input field named tmpl and with "component" as value for this to work when sending form.

Hi,

sadly I have not had the time to test this yet so the changes are not part of Visforms 3.4.3 which I released today as a bugfix.
One reason is, that I think, I have to implement this for the data view as well and I have to test thoroughly (for example that this works properly, too, if the form fail during php validation and is displayed again), which takes some time.

But It's on my list an will come

Regards,
Aicha

Hi,

finally I was able to add some new features to Visforms and released Visforms 3.5.0 as a beta.
I implemented the tmpl=component feature and using the form in a modal window will now work even if the php form validation fails and the form is displayed again (including the php error messages). Result texts are displayed in the modal window properly as well.

It's of course necessary to have the proper CSS for modals in the template.

As this is a beta, you will not be informed via backend update manager but if you are interested you can download the release our downloads section.

Kind regards and good evening,
Aicha
