This means that the page doesn't have to refresh, and you can use other popup options that don't have to rely on using the iframe &amp; plainpage template approach. Here's a link to some info on that.</p> <p><a href="http://www.seodenver.com/gravity-forms-ajax/" rel="nofollow">http://www.seodenver.com/gravity-forms-ajax/</a></p> <p>Most of the modal window scripts allow you to wrap a div around inline content such as a form shortcode and then launch it in the modal window. The problem before was when the form refreshed the page, if the validation failed, the modal window was closed and you couldn't see it. With the ajax submission enabled, this isn't an issue now and you have a lot more options. </p> <p>Fancybox was one that supported modal iframes so it was my choice for the original tutorial but you should be able to use any of these as well.</p> <p><a href="http://speckyboy.com/2009/03/31/10-image-and-gallery-lightbox-solutions-for-wordpress-plugins/" rel="nofollow">http://speckyboy.com/2009/03/31/10-image-and-gallery-lightbox-solutions-for-wordpress-plugins/</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/traffic-regenerator-how-to-do-something-like-it-with-gravity-forms#post-9605 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:03:08 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 9605@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Can you share a link to the page you want to launch the form from? It will be easier to debug if I can see it. </p> <p>Also, I noted on your plain form page at <a href="http://campaignit.com.au/test-page/test/" rel="nofollow">http://campaignit.com.au/test-page/test/</a> that the path to the jQuery .js file is incorrect. You'll want to adjust that so things like the datepicker, conditional logic, etc. will work properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/traffic-regenerator-how-to-do-something-like-it-with-gravity-forms#post-9596 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:23:03 +0000 Jane 9596@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Sorry for the delay.

From the error you posted, it looks like that might be the case. If so, that's probably the issue. It's not a WordPress plugin, just a standalone script.</p> <p>You just need to unzip the fancybox zip file, then upload the "fancybox" folder with the scripts and images via ftp to your theme directory. Once you've done that, you just need to make sure you have the paths correct for the scripts, CSS, etc.</p> <p>The other steps look fine. It sounds like you just need to get the scripts put in the right place and linked up. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/traffic-regenerator-how-to-do-something-like-it-with-gravity-forms#post-9380 Sat, 04 Sep 2010 03:08:56 +0000 Jane 9380@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So I followed your instructions, and a had a problem with the header file. Downloaded 1.2.1 from <a href="http://fancybox.net/" rel="nofollow">http://fancybox.net/</a> and it gave me this error: <a href="http://cl.ly/929499eb2c659647f433" rel="nofollow">http://cl.ly/929499eb2c659647f433</a></p> <p>Using Wordpress 3.0.1</p> <p>Steps taken:<br /> 1. Install fancybox zipped folder (could not activate because of prob with header)<br /> 2. Added script to &lt;head&gt; in theme header.php<br /> 3. Created plainpage.php (exact code) in root theme folder<br /> 4. Created new form sub-page under Main Page and changed template to "plain page" (didn't exclude pages yet)<br /> 5. Added code to "Main Page": <a href="http://pastie.org/1137522" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/1137522</a><br /> 6. Click on link and the form opens, same window in an un-themed page (where I assume the problem is the original fancybox installation is not working)</p> <p>Tried installing Fancybox for Wordpress but no luck, and didn't really know what instructions to follow. <a href="http://blog.moskis.net/downloads/plugins/fancybox-for-wordpress/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.moskis.net/downloads/plugins/fancybox-for-wordpress/</a></p> <p>The original topic was closed, so had to continue the discussion here.
