Modal windows are interesting way to include extran information on a page. adaptive-modal.js makes it beautiful. You can use this little plugin which uses the same jQuery plugin to creae modal windows easily in any page or post or even on a widget uisng shortcode.
I have also added another functionality into this plugin, which will let you to embed your modal content into your post a page directly.
Usage
Upon activation, the plugin will create a custom post type called ‘Modals’. Where you can add your content, which later you can use it on a modal or embed directly into your page or post.
- [modal]
- [block]
modal
the ‘modal’ shortcode is to create modal windows.
For now the [modal] shortcode comes with four attributes.
id
Your modal id. eg: [modal id=2]Click here[/modal]
data
If your modal only going to have just text, you can directly add the content in the shortcode. eg: [modal data=”This is my modal content”]Click here[/modal]. This shortcode is much useful when you want to add a modal window to a word in a paragrap without braking the paragrap.
note: you cannot use both id and data in the same shortcode
background
This is to style the link and the modal window background. Have to specify a valid color. eg: [modal id=2 background=”#DDDDDD”]Click here[/modal]
color
This attribute is to change the color of the link. eg: [modal id=2 background=”#DDDDDD” color=”#000000″]Click here[/modal]
block
The ‘block’ shortcode is to embed your modal content into any page or post. It only has one attribute.
id
id of the modal post type post.
note: both block and modal shortcodes uses the same Modals custom post type.
