Hi all
I already have my site set up with the option of opening links in a modal window using class="modal" on the link. When I apply this to a link to a Joomla article the article opens in a lightbox window and loads in component view using the link index.php?tmpl=component&view=article&id=2 for example.
What I am trying to do is open K2 items in a modal window in component view. I have edited joomla/components/com_k2/templates/new_template/category_item.php so that the title link reads:
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>" class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe',size:{x:990,y:550}}">
However, this doesn't open the item in component view so instead of just displaying the item in the lightbox I have the full page. I don't want the whole page to feature in the modal window, I just want the article.
If anyone knows how to do this or has a suggestion for a better way of solving this problem then please let me know. The problem lies with:
<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>
I don't know how to change this so that it refers to the component view instead.
Thank you
