Wordpress Lightbox Form Setup?

Hey guys,

Does anyone have an idea of how to include a form in a lightbox?

I'm running Wordpress with the Inove theme.

What I need is the ability to have a text link that opens a lightbox with a form that people can fill out when they want to be on the wait list.

I've created a form page with wordpress and the fast and secure forms plugin, where do I go from here?

Any help is deeply appreciated.

P.S. I don't need an autoresponder like Aweber, just a form.

  • Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen that but have yet to try it.

    I know there's a way to either iframe in a page inside of a lightbox or load a form manually, I just haven't been able to find a simple how to tutorial.
  • I figured it out.

    If anyone else would like to know I found a plugin called greybox-integrator, it installs greybox for use with wordpress.

    Greybox is a lightbox script that can handle iframes as well as images. As I said earlier I had already created my page that I wanted Iframed, but I found out you can modify the template with a custom page template, so I removed all the extraneous code, because all I wanted was a simple web form.

    To do this is pretty simple all you have to do is create a new php page and upload it to the template folder that you're using.

    This .php page has to have the following code:

    Code:
    <?php
/*
Template Name: Snarfer
*/
?>
    It also has to call the post information in it if you want to create the page through wordpress instead of just html.

    I'm pretty sure each template does this differently and what I did to find my code is look through the page.php file template and found where I thought did this, copying the code out of there and into the new template file.

    If you have any questions you can PM me.

    Thanks,

    Shelby
