Currently we are exploring integrating the Popups (http://drupal.org/project/popups) module. Initial behavior is working well. Need to iron out minor kinks. Like to see proper page reload and custom css injection.

To be clear, dependency is not needed, but once you see it...you will want it!

Regards,

Marius

I have to rethink the custom css injection. Probably not something friendlist should get involved with, since it would create inconsistencies for end users. If you'd like to style the modal popups, it should happen on a theme level using popups as responsible module, since it is...responsible. Also, it is very easy to disable...you just uninstall the popups module.

The page reload is explained by the popups maintainer like so:

[...] only the content area of the page is updated by the ajax call. Which means that some non-content bits stay.

That means that at this point we have integrated popups as much as is possible right now. If theme or admin features emerge, it will be from the popups module itself.

You can track progress on the ajax call responsible for reloading here: http://drupal.org/node/306921

I guess from this standpoint we can mark this issue fixed, Merc?

Hi,

Well... the issue is not "fixed" because there is still a visible problem with the behaviour of the popups.
I want to leave it open because I want to see if there is a way, for us, to actually force the reload. That would be grand. Let's see what the maintainer says.

Bye!

Merc.

Hi,

Postponed... since it doesn't actually depend on me.
I will mark it as "active" when/if things start happening.

maybe new module from merlinofchaos could be helpful for you...
http://drupal.org/project/ctools


For the moment, it includes the following tools:

Plugins -- tools to make it easy for modules to let other modules implement plugins from .inc files.
Exportables -- tools to make it easier for modules to have objects that live in database or live in code, such as 'default views'.
AJAX responder -- tools to make it easier for the server to handle AJAX requests and tell the client what to do with them.
Form tools -- tools to make it easier for forms to deal with AJAX.
Object caching -- tool to make it easier to edit an object across multiple page requests and cache the editing work.
Contexts -- the notion of wrapping objects in a unified wrapper and providing an API to create and accept these contexts as input.
Modal dialog -- tool to make it simple to put a form in a modal dialog.

Hi,

Hummm

"Currently this module is in HEAVY development and is only ready for use by advanced developers. These APIs may change without warning. There are no releases."

Plus, the simplicity of "popups" is just unbeatable...

Admittedly did not test extensively, but for our module, popups-form-reload is a better variable than popups and it seems to work just fine.
