A modal/pop up window displaying extra info

[alasdair17]

Hey,

So, at the moment I am working on my own portfolio website! I have a bunch of images along with some text for each individual image.

Is there a way to insert an, 'open' and 'close' button to display extra info within the Laytheme Carousel caption editor? I'd love it if when you flick through the images and under each image there is a button that you can click which opens in a full screen window displaying a few paragraphs of information about the image which you are currently viewing on the carousel and then a 'Close' button to return to the carousel.

Is this doable? I've tried a few experiments but can't seem to get it quite right.

If you look at this example here: https://symphonyinacid.net/
See if you click, 'About' and how it quickly displays the text and you can then quickly, 'Close' it to return.

I'd be more than happy to pay for this additional development.

Thanks!

Alasdair

yea man i totally want to do this as a feature for lay theme

at the moment its not possible

if you know some javascript, css and html you can do it yourself but yea its a little bit complicated if you never did that

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh Cheers Armin, that's great to hear. I really look forward to it. I know HTML and CSS but my Javascript knowledge isn't great.

I'm more than happy to pay for this additional development if you had time to build something for me in the meantime. No worries if not and I really look forward to seeing it introduced into Laytheme. Cheers!

@alasdair17 Hey @arminunruh hope you're feeling better. Is there any chance of this feature being introduced in the next month or so? More than happy to pay for it. Cheers.

@arminunruh thanks man, really excited for this feature!

[alasdair17]

hey @arminunruh do you think this feature could be introduced in April? Thanks.

[arminunruh]

don't know

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh okay cool, thanks for letting me know.

[alasdair17]

@arminunruh hey Armin, is this still something you are hoping to work on soon? Thanks

@alasdair17

It can be done easily with custom css and a bit of js.
Use one of your rows to put that extra info in. Give it a class style and hide it with custom css.
Put a button somewhere to make the pop-up hide and show on click.

[arminunruh]

hey i will start working on this soon!

[alasdair17]

@kalamakumaran hey man, thank you for your reply. Yeah I did attempt it awhile ago and it kinda worked but quite glitchy as my js knowledge isn't too advanced.

@arminunruh thanks so much Armin, really excited for it!

What's the feature called? Sorry if I missed the obvious :)

[alasdair17]

@abc Page Overlays, you can activate them in 'lay options' > 'lay options' and then there will be settings at the bottom right in the page editor next to the grid.
