Reveal Lightbox

Use the [modal_box] shortcode to show a popup box with overlay. The [modal_box] shortcode can also be linked with these module positions: reveal-a, reveal-b and reveal-c. By using one of these positions as your target, the modal box will show a popup of the modules that have be placed in these positions and assigned to the corresponding menu.

For each module linked to reveal-a, reveal-b or reveal-c, you can use Module Class Suffix to style it just like a normal module. The target parameter can also be the id of a content section.

Size modifier

To adjust the size (width) of the modal box, add modal-small or modal-large to the Module Class Suffix of the module.

Trigger a modal box from link

[modal_box link target="reveal-a"]reveal-a[/modal_box] 
[modal_box link target="reveal-b"]reveal-b[/modal_box] 
[modal_box link target="reveal-c"]reveal-c[/modal_box]

Toggle modal box from buttons

[modal_box button style="color" target="reveal-a"]reveal-a[/modal_box]
[modal_box button style="color" target="reveal-b"]reveal-b[/modal_box]
[modal_box button style="color" target="reveal-c"]reveal-c[/modal_box]

Toggle modal box for inline content

The [modal_box] shortcode can also be used for inline content by using the following sytnax:

<!-- create a link that will trigger the pop-up modal box -->
[modal_box link target="mycontent"]my link[/modal_box] 

<!-- create the content of the modal box -->
[modal_box content target="mycontent" style="mod-color"]
...
