Lightbox Modal Effect

-in your scripts.js goes:

SqueezeBox.initialize({});

$$('a.lightbox').each(function(el) {

el.addEvent('click', function(e) {

new Event(e).stop();

SqueezeBox.fromElement(el);

});

});

OR if no domready

window.addEvent('domready', function() {

SqueezeBox.initialize({});

$$('a.lightbox').each(function(el) {

el.addEvent('click', function(e) {

new Event(e).stop();

SqueezeBox.fromElement(el);

});

});

});

-in template your index.php, to call Joomla's Mootool engine...before html goes:

JHTML::_('behavior.modal');

-In article ADD class="lightbox" example:

NOTE Replace [ ] with <>

[a class="lightbox" href="images/stories/image.jpg"][img class="noborder" src="images/stories/small_image.jpg" border="0" alt="Image" /][/a]

How to add and validate extra field in contact form (com_contact)

- component/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php

- component/com_contact/views/contact/controller.php

TO MAKE A FIELD VALIDATE ADD class="inputbox required" to input field thats reads as:

Repalce [] with <> below

[input type="text" name="name" id="contact_name" class="inputbox required" value=""]

===============================================

Example: to catch Form post PHONE FIELD

add

$phone = JRequest::getVar( 'phone', '', 'post' );

to line 116 in controller.php

add

.$phone.

to line 178 which reads

$body = $prefix."\n"."Name: ".$name."\n"."Phone: ".$phone.' <'.$email.'>'."\r\n\r\n".stripslashes($body);

To ADD into the default_form.php ADD (remember to replace [] with <> tags below)

[label for="contact_phone"] [?php echo JText::_( 'Phone' );?]:[/label]

[input type="text" name="phone" id="contact_phone" size="30" class="inputbox" value="" /]

Auto Expand Sections/Categories in Extended Menu Module for Joomla 1.5

The solution for this is altering some files from the module:

modules/mod_exmenu-j15/exmenu/loader/autoexpandedmenu.menuloader.class.php

Change lines 177 to 192 from:

Code:

switch($menuNode->type) {
case 'content_category':
case 'content_blog_category':
case 'content_archive_category':
if ($contentItemVisible) {
$this->categoryMenuNodeList[] =& $menuNode;
}
break;
case 'content_section':
case 'content_blog_section':
case 'content_archive_section':
if (($categoryVisible) || ($contentItemVisible)) {
$this->sectionMenuNodeList[] =& $menuNode;
}
break;
}

to:

Code:

$tipoMenu = $this->getRawUrlParameter($menuNode->link, 'view');
switch($tipoMenu) {
case 'category':
if ($contentItemVisible) {
$this->categoryMenuNodeList[] =& $menuNode;
}
break;
case 'section':
if (($categoryVisible) || ($contentItemVisible)) {
$this->sectionMenuNodeList[] =& $menuNode;
}
break;
}

This will do the work to generate the links, but Extended Menu won't give then the proper classes when they are active, so it's needed to change one more file:

modules/mod_exmenu-j15/exmenu/loader/menuloader.class.php

Change lines 297 to 303 from:

Code:

switch($task) {
case 'view':
case 'edit':
case 'cancel':
$result = $id;
break;
}

to:

Code:

$result = $id;
