Hi,

I am looking for a way to always open node edit pages in modal windows. I don't have a clue of where to start looking for. Any suggestions? I must add that I can program a Drupal Module if necessary.

Regards.

Hi,

I am trying to test modalframe API module but I am unable to install it properly apparently...;( I installed contrib modules but no modal window are showing. Any idea of what I am doing wrong? Otherwise, is there any way to use lightbox2 and say Drupal that all node/node%/edit pages should be shown in a lightbox?

Regards.

Doesn't look like modalframe does node edit forms (yet). May want to see if you can create a custom module to do that since modalframe appears to be the new popup api moving forward.

If not, check out http://drupal.org/project/aef_embedded_edit

Well, I can already open node edit page in a lightbox2, edit the node and it closes the modal window by putting the code directly in the node (this is for testing only). What I really need, is to intercept all calls nodes edit pages so that they are displayed in modal windows only. For example, when I enter the URL directly in the address bar, the modal window should display. how could I do that?

Regards.

Make sure you are using the 6.x-2.x branch of jQuery Update module. Modal Frame API doesn't work with 6.x-1.x branch.
