Open link in excisting modal child

And while we're at it, 2) can we open a link in the parent page and close the modal? So we don't get a new tab?

@#2: I tried that and still am trying but it doesnt work in the modal... When im viewing the child in a own tab, the links with the above class don't have the target set. But when i view it in the modal on a parent page the child page links do have the target set. I cleared cache but doesnt seem to do the trick.

//edit: viewing in a own tab always seems to remove the target.

//edit: my custom .js file in which i add the class to the links, is called before the child.js. So it's not that.

child.js @103 if ($(this).hasClass('modalframe-exclude')) just wont validate... I don't get an error nothing.

Ok so when the class is added directly in the html element everything works.

//problem seems to be that the link is processed before i can add modalframe-excluse trough my own .js, any Markus ideas?

Could this have to do with:

/**
 * Attach our own behavior on top of the list of existing behaviors.
 *
 * We need to execute before everything else because the child frame is not
 * visible until we bind the child window to the parent, and this may cause
 * problems with other behaviors that need the document visible in order to
 * do its own job.
 */
Drupal.behaviors = $.extend({modalFrameChild: Drupal.modalFrameChild.attach}, Drupal.behaviors);

?

//edit: Ok this has to do with Drupal.behaviors = $.extend({modalFrameChild: Drupal.modalFrameChild.attach}, Drupal.behaviors);. Guess it places the modalFrameChild above my behavior and there for the processes the link before i can.

hereby my JS file

(function ($) {
Drupal.modals = function(context) {
  $('.facebook_status_edit_delete a', context).not('.modalframe-processed').addClass('modalframe-exclude');

  $('#messaging', context).addClass('modalframe-message-processed').each(function() {
    $(this).parent().prepend('<div class="modalframe-modals-messages" style="display:none;"></div>');
  });


  // Create an element to dynamically render status messages.
  var modalsConfigurationClick = function(action, url, refreshAfterSubmit) {
    // Hide status messages before opening the modal frame.
    $('.modalframe-modals-messages').hide();

    if (refreshAfterSubmit) {
      url += (url.indexOf('?') == -1 ? '?' : '&') +'refresh=1';
    }
	
    var onSubmitCallback = function(args, statusMessages) {
      if (args && args.submitted) {
        // Render new status messages, if any.
		if (statusMessages && statusMessages.length) {
          $('.modalframe-modals-messages').html(statusMessages).show('fast');
          window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        }
        if (refreshAfterSubmit) {
          window.scrollTo(0, 0);
          setTimeout(function() { window.location.reload(); }, 1500);
        }
      }
    };
    var modalFrameOptions = {
      url: url,
      width: 800,
      height: 200,
      draggable: false,
      //customDialogOptions: (modalFrameOptions.height = 100),
      onSubmit: onSubmitCallback
    };

    Drupal.modalFrame.open(modalFrameOptions);
    return false;
  };
  
  //modalize user login
  $('a[href$=user/login]', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '?modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, true);  
  });
  
  //modalize user register
  $('a[href$=user/register]', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '?modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, false);  
  });
  
  //modalize send new message
  $('a[href*=messages/new]', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '?modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, false);  
  });
  
  //modalize relationship request
  $('a.user_relationships_popup_link', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '&modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, true);  
  });
  
  //modalize flag abuse
  $('a.flag', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '&modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, true);  
  });
  
  //modalize facebook status react
  $('.babbel_react a', context).not('.modalframe-processed').attr('href', function() {
	return this.href + '&modal=1'
  }).addClass('use-modal').click(function(){
	var $link = $(this), url = $link.attr('href');
	return modalsConfigurationClick('', url, true);  
  });
  
};

})(jQuery)

I can't figure it out, maybe you can help markus.

Great, got it working by using

Drupal.modalFrameChild = Drupal.modalFrameChild || {};
Drupal.modalFrameChild.behaviors = Drupal.modalFrameChild.behaviors || {};
Drupal.modalFrameChild.behaviors.modals = function(context) {

Got that from the subnodes_by_taxonomy module.

//edit lol, it does work but i had my child an parent settings in one js file and now the parent settings dont work...

//edit got the parent and child settings working now.

hermes_costell i love the simplicity, great find.
