overlay_open

See also

actions overlay_close, dialog_open and dialog.

Renders a template on the server and opens a full screen overlay with the HTML output of the template.

Example:

{% button text="show story" action={overlay_open template="_story.tpl" id=1234} %}

This opens an overlay over the current content. The template _story.tpl will be rendered with the argument id (and possibly any other arguments). The rendered html will then be shown inside the overlay.

The overlay template is a div with the class modal-overlay. Extra classes can be added using the class argument:

{% wire action={overlay_open template="_splash.tpl" class="splash"} %}
