[Pro] How to Achieve this Functionality?

Hi,

I was wondering what the best way to approach would be within Freeway Pro to perform something similar to the following scenario.

I will use this Freewaytalk website as my base example.

Let’s say that in this centre pane, instead of all these listed threads, I had say 4 rounded buttons and if I pressed on one of the buttons, I actually wanted like another window to present itself over the centre pane buttons and do something there.

I would then have a return button that would hide this layered screen over the original centre pane button screen and present the user with the original four buttons.

The thing that I want to always appear is the header and left and right sections for all screens the appear. It’s just the centre shell that I want to play with.

Hope the above makes sense. I guess it’s a bit like Google Gmail. When you choose “Settings” at top right, your Inbox screen is covered only with the Settings window.

Would like to do this same thing for my website.

Thanks.
Tony.

You can do this using show/hide layers - depending on what you want to do in this floating window.

What did you have in mind?

Hi David,

Thanks for getting back to me. I guess what my main goal is as follows. If you or anyone else can suggest options, would really appreciate it.

Basically have a few buttons on the main screen which when pressed, calls a jQuery Lightbox plug-in to display a popup with info, which maintains the main website screen with heading and left and right side-bars.

My problem where I need other’s opinions is that I also have a button called “Screenshots”, which at the moment, goes to a new page all together (that no longers shows the main screen heading and left and right sidebars) which then allows the user to press a screen thumbnail, displaying the full size screenshot in the jQuery Lightbox plug-in.

I basically want the “Screenshots” to still use the jQuery Lightbox plug-in but also display the main web site start-up page in the background.

Your thoughts pls.

Tony.

I can’t try this because I have had a logic board failure on my main machine but Walter’s ScriptyLightbox allows you to open an html page in a lightbox.

Could you use that to open the html page that has the screenshots thumbnails on it? - Worth a try!

Hi David,

Can you please let me know where/how to access Walter’s ScriptyLightbox script?

Secondly, will this allow me to present this window as a layered window on top of my main window?

Thanks.
Tony.
