Re: [VuFind-Tech] Lightbox other content

[Demian K. <dem...@vi...>]

Are you having any specific problems, or are you just trying to get advice before you begin?

I haven't personally done much work with the lightbox stuff yet, but I took a quick look, and it appears that the existing lightbox logic should be able to do what you want.

As a test of concept, I added this near the top (after the "global" declaration) of the launch method in web/services/Record/Details.php:

        if ($_GET['lightbox']) {
            $interface->assign('staffDetails', $this->recordDriver->getStaffView());
            return $interface->fetch('Record/view-details.tpl');
        }

I then made this Javascript call on the record page:

	getLightbox('Record', 'Details', 28231);

(where "28231" is the ID of the record I was testing).

The MARC view successfully popped up in a lightbox.

Admittedly, refinement is needed -- for example, it would probably be a good idea to wrap the MARC content in a fixed-size <div> with "overflow:auto" to get a more reasonably sized pop-up with scrollbars.  But hopefully this will get you started!
