Hi everybody,

I'm just working on a new site with Joomla 3.4.8, the Purity III template and K2 2.6.9.
I created a menu link in the user menu named "add new item". It works, but unfortunately a new tab or a new window opens - not a modal window, like at "edit item". In the code I can't find any modal-classes. Is it a bug or are my settings wrong? What can I do to make it work? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
Matthew.

Hello,

The menu items are by default loaded in a new window.
You can bypass this behaviour, by manually creating a modal window.

Add this to the menu item's css class->
modal” rel=”{handler: ‘iframe’, size: {x: 780, y: 500}, onClose:function(){$(‘sbox-content’).empty();}}

Hi,
thanks for your help. The problem is: now the itemform opens in a modal popup AND as a new tab! I decided the modal-function is not necessary for me.

But there is another problem: when opening the form as new tab none of the buttons work as expected. For example: the buttons beyond the content window (except "readmore") open as "_self"-target instead of a modal popup. The buttons with the calendar-function for setting up the item-date don't work, too. Searching the server for content in the "image"-tab and the "attachment"-tab opens only an empty modal-popup.

Can you help me again, please?

Are you getting any JS errors in your browser developer tools?
Are you using overrides for the itemform?

I am having the same issue. The rel= fix mentioned above doesn't work for me.

The reason I am doing this is because the items are remaining checked out even after a save and a close. instead of the window closing it remains open and redirects back to home page.

I tried to change the menu items target to Parent but after I save it reverts back to new window with navigation every single time.

Please advise.

Hello Nate,

Are you using K2's latest version?
Also can you send me a link to your site?
