(Chalong) Lightbox button –to open contact form inside lightbox WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi There,
I have the Chalong theme installed on my WP website.
I have an ‘Enquire’ button on my services page. I would like the contact form to open in a lightbox when you click on the ‘Enquire’ button.
I have asked theme support and was told it needs a custom modification and they recommended this website.
Is anyone able to make the required custom modifications needed, so the contact form opens in a lightbox, when you click on the 'enquire' button.
If you are able to do this I can provide you with my login details. Please let me know as I do not wish to publish them on here.
Or you can provide me with instructions, and the code required, and I will make the modifications.
Thank you :)
I have tried various plugins and suggested code I have found on Google but I could not get any of them to work.
If possible I would like to use the contact.php form that is already built in the theme, and there is also already a light box function built into the theme.
I need someone who is able to combine the two, so the current contact form pops up in a lightbox, when a button is clicked.

You can easily use contact form 7 for this. If you think I need to code then I need login details.

Thank you for your quick response.
I have already tried this plugin / solution and could not get it to work.
Ideally I would like to use the contact.php and the lightbox function that is already built into the theme. The person who wrote the theme suggested it was a custom modification.
Is this something you would be able to do / have done before?

If you want to use your existing code then I need to see the code. But instead modifying the default code of the theme you may just use this plugin. Currently I've no live demo for showing you a live demo but If you want then I can create a quick live demo for you using the wordpress default theme.

Sure, it might be useful to look at the what the theme already has (shortcodes - lighbox) shown on the theme preview website: http://www.gallyapp.com/tf_themes/?theme=Chalong.
As you might be able to work with these.
Thank you :)

The 'enquire' button is on the services page.
When you click this 'enquire' button I would like the contact form to pop up in a lightbox.
Please let me know if you need any more details.

Here's a link to an implementation of just that:
http://www.associationofwomeninenergy.com/get-involved/
I used a combination of contact forms 7 and easy modal.
there's also a single plugin that does this as well, called "SimpleModal Contact Form (SMCF)" although I'm not sure if it's as configurable as contact forms 7 is.
jimmy comments:
Thank you, I could not see the example on the link you posted.
However I have already tried this plugin and I could not get it to work.
Thank you for your quick response though.

You could try the Chalong lightbox shortcode:
[lightbox type="iframe" title="Title" href="http://example.com/contact.php"]
[button href="" bg_color="#4f762a" text_color="#ffffff"]Open example.com/contact.php in frame[/button]
[/lightbox]
to open contact.php if it is a standalone form file.
jimmy comments:
Thank you for the suggestion but it did not work, I think this is along the right lines though.
I'm not sure if contact.php is a stand alone form, so maybe this is why it didn't work.
