Hi

It's not an easy task. The best way is to download template with popup elements and than copy all the php, js and css files according to this. If You want it badly please mail me and we can disscuss the payment for that.

For anyone else searching on this topic..

I found another way to go about it thats a little simpler... perhaps not the perfect way, but it works, and was quicker than anything else I would work out.

1. Use something like 'modules anywhere' or other method of putting a module in content.

2. Create an article ( J!, FlexiCotnet, K2 all seem to work. ) placing only the module in the article.

3. Use a 'code/content in article' module to create links that open a popup window to the articles in a lightbox of your linking ( ie: Rockbox, HighSlide, JCEMedia etc ).

Thats it.. you can then do it just about any way you like.. style things the way you want, use the lightbox you want etc. Its also a good technique for just about anything you want to pout in a popup.

Hope this helps someone / saves some time.. I tried looking at login modules that claimed to do popups, but needed community builder, so they didnt work for me.. I didn find one that was ok.. 'Simple iFrame Lightbox' that worked, but not exactly what I wanted. I tried a few other way I saw around the place and in the end, this was the easiest way.. and it worked.
