Description
I'm creating this as a feature request
This allows integration with the popups module, I have not done the necessary changes, to make it a dependency, plus I haven't included a proper patch, so I won't mark this as fixed, until those are taken care of.
Anyways, this WILL WORK, if you have the popups module installed.
find:
function _nodereferrer_create_nodeapi_view_referrer(&$node, $teaser, $page) {
now replace:
$menu_items = array();
foreach($node->referrers as $i => $ref) {
$items = array();
foreach ($ref['referrence'] as $type => $nf) {
$type_info = content_types($type);
if (count($nf) == 1) {
$text = t(variable_get('nodereferrer_create_label', 'Create new @type'),
array('@type' => $type_info['name']));
$url = 'node/'.$node->nid.'/create_referrer/'.$i.'/'.$type.'/0';
$items[] = l($text, $url);
if ($nf[0]['multiple'] == 1) {
$text = t(variable_get('nodereferrer_create_add_label', 'Add to existing @type'),
array('@type' => $type_info['name']));
$url = 'node/'.$node->nid.'/add_referrer/'.$i.'/'.$type.'/0';
$items[] = l($text, $url);
}With:
$menu_items = array();
foreach($node->referrers as $i => $ref) {
$items = array();
popups_add_popups();
foreach ($ref['referrence'] as $type => $nf) {
$type_info = content_types($type);
if (count($nf) == 1) {
$text = t(variable_get('nodereferrer_create_label', 'Create new @type'),
array('@type' => $type_info['name']));
$url = 'node/'.$node->nid.'/create_referrer/'.$i.'/'.$type.'/0';
$options = array (
'attributes'=>array('class'=>'popups'),
);
$items[] = l($text, $url, $options);
if ($nf[0]['multiple'] == 1) {
$text = t(variable_get('nodereferrer_create_add_label', 'Add to existing @type'),
array('@type' => $type_info['name']));
$url = 'node/'.$node->nid.'/add_referrer/'.$i.'/'.$type.'/0';
$items[] = l($text, $url, $options);
}Now when you click create or add existing it will load in a modal window, and you can add related content without leaving the original node.
let me know if this works for ya.

Sorry, just so you know this is in the .module file of nodereferrer

Hi, does this degrade nicely?

Hello, yes if javascript is not available then it functions as per normal.
Couple things I've noticed with pop-up intergration.
Image Upload doesn't work well (yet), when uploading a cck imagefield it will break out of the modal window after upload. The user can still complete the form, but it can be a little confusing.
It would be nice if this could be made an option in the admin. I'll look into exactly how that's done as I'm not a programmer. But it would be nice.
Another conflict to note is popups does not allow popup chaining (modals launched from modals). This can be a hinderance if you are trying to create a content type that uses popups: Add and reference.
What I've done to get around this is load "Create new content referrer" as per normal but with a query destination to return to original node. I then load the "add existing" to a pop-up.
This keeps the workflow smooth, and avoids any conflicts I've run into.
