Hello,
I am trying to open a view in modal and tried colorbox, and ctools both but could not achieve what I wanted.

with colorbox I tried jQuery.colorbox({html:"<?php print('here'); ?>"}); hoping to replace print statement with views_embed_view() if simple print works, but it didn't.

For ctool, I found a tutorial "https://www.deeson.co.uk/labs/insert-form-pop-modal-ctools-and-drupal-7" which can show forms in modal, but could not find a way of showing view.

Can any of these do the job, or is there any other module/way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for the link. I read many other related links, and came across ctools_modal_render($title, $output) function which might have the solution to this problem.

I also followed https://www.drupion.com/blog/10-steps-creating-ctools-modal-window-drupal-7 tutorial to implement this, but it did not work.

  • If I use the URL "happy/js/1" then it says "Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctools_modal_render() ", and
  • If I use the URL "happy/ajax/1" then it throws some JSON string of node 1. May be I am calling it in a wring way.

Does anyone have a working implementation of ctools_modal_render() or any other guidance regarding this or any other possible solution.

Has no one ever done it yet, or not documented?
This is kind of strange

This is strange that no one is participating in this discussion.

Make your view a block. Output the block using a method here: https://www.drupal.org/node/957038

Use the tutorial you found to output the block instead of a form.
