Question

Is it possible to display Joomla module in a modal box? I try putting module in article by using loadposition and in another article I put

<a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=18" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 640, y: 480}}">auto</a>

but I get not only module but all page. I try to display subscriber form of Communicator Module (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/newsletter/4600).

Maybe should I change something in this module to display it in a correct way using modal box?

You can use some small trick…you have to assign a id to the container of the module Div, and add this id in the url so the url can load the module..

<div id='Modulecontainer'>
<module>
</div>

<a class="modal" href="index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=18#Modulecontainer" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 640, y: 480}}">auto</a>
