How to use the RSForm!Pro Modal plugin

Let's assume that you want to display a button in your Joomla! article and by clicking on that particular button, a modal will be prompted. The modal will include a form you've created in RSForm!Pro.
There are three ways in which you can display this modal.

1. Using the editor's dedicated button:

More precisely, you'll need to include a similar syntax in your article:

  <button class="btn btn-primary" data-rsfpmodal="1">Open the form</button>

Whereas 1 stands for the form's Id. You can also change the effect directly in the syntax, bypassing the default one selected in the RSForm!Pro's Configuration area. The syntax will now look similar to:

  <button class="btn btn-primary" data-rsfpmodal="1" data-effect="dropup" autoload="1">Open the form</button>

The list of effects attributes which you can use in the syntax would be the following:

• fade - Fade
• updown - Slide from Top
• downup - Slide from Bottom
• leftright - Slide from Left
• rightleft - Slide from Right
• sideright - Side Right
• sideright rsfpfullheight - Side Right Full Height
• sideleft - Side Left
• sideleft rsfpfullheight - Side Left Full Height
• dropup - Top Side
• dropup rsfpfullwidth - Top Side Full Width
• dropdown - Bottom Side
• dropdown rsfpfullwidth - Bottom Side Full Width
• zoom - Zoom

You can also display prefilled values in your form fields, using the data-form-values attribute double quotes for the field values (notice the attribute will be opened / closed with single quotes), for example:

  <button class="btn btn-primary" data-rsfpmodal="1" data-effect="dropup" data-form-values='{"FullName":"test","Email":"test@test.com", "CompanySize":["1-20","21-50"]}'>Open the form</button>

2. Using dedicated placeholders in your article's contents:

More precisely, you'll need to include a similar syntax in your article:

  {rsfpmodal 1 buttonName="open form"}

Wereas 1 stands for the form's Id. You can also change the effect directly in the syntax, bypassing the default one selected in the RSForm!Pro's Configuration area. The syntax will now look similar to:

  {rsfpmodal 1 effect="zoom" buttonName="open form"}

The list of effects which you can use in the syntax would be same as at point 1. Also, bypassing the default 'Disable Overlay Close' option from the configuration area can be done by using the disableclose="1" attribute:

  {rsfpmodal 1 effect="zoom" buttonName="open form" disableclose="1" autoload="1"}

You can also prefill the form fields with similar attributes:

  {rsfpmodal 1 effect="zoom" buttonName="open form" disableclose="1" FullName="John" Email="johndoe@rsjoomla.com"}

Prefilling a multiple selection type of field can be achieved using the following attributes:

  {rsfpmodal 1 effect="zoom" buttonName="open form" disableclose="1" FullName="John" Email="johndoe@rsjoomla.com" CompanySize="1-20" CompanySize="21-50"}

3. In menu items using dedicated CSS classes:

More precisely, you'll need to create a System Links > URL menu item type and add # in the Link* field (Details tab). Afterwards, include similar classes in the 'Link Type' > 'Link Class' field:

• "rsfpmodal-1" - required for the form to be opened
• "rsfpeffect-sideright" - this will change the default modal effect
• "rsfpeffect-sideright-rsfpfullheight" - in addition to the effect modal, this will display the modal in full height
• "rsfpdisableclose-1" - this will prevent the modal from closing when clicking on the background overlay
• "rsfpautoload-1" - this open the modal when the page is accessed

  rsfpmodal-1 rsfpeffect-sideright-rsfpfullheight rsfpdisableclose-1 rsfpautoload-1

RSForm!Pro Modal - Button plugin

The plugin comes by default with the 'Button - RSForm!Pro Modal' plugin, which displays a button to insert RSForm!Pro Modal button into an editor area. By clicking on this button, a popup is opened allowing you to choose the form's button type and to set various default values.

• Type - Select which type of element to create, choose from Placeholder, Button and Anchor.
• Inner Label - Add the text that will be displayed on the button/anchor.
• Icon - Select an icon for the button.
• Use icon as Prefix - Prepend or append the icon to the Inner Label.
• Button Classes - Add the HTML classes you desire.
• Select the form - Select which form you want to use.
• Disable Overlay Close - The closing of the modal will be disabled when clicking on the background overlay.
• Effect - Choose the effect you want to use by default for the modal.
• Autoload - Opens the modal with the form when the page is loaded.
• Preview Code - preview your code before inserting it in the editor.
• Prefill field - select which fields you want to be prefilled.

RSForm!Pro Modal Frontend

Below you will see an example on how this modal button looks inside a Joomla! article and how the form is displayed upon clicking the button.

RSForm!Pro Modal Available Placeholders

The following placeholders can also be used within the Placeholder, Button or Anchor types:

• [current-link] - This placeholder returns the current URL where your modal form button is displayed;
• [current-title] - This placeholder returns the current Page Title where your modal form button is displayed;
• [referral-link] - This placeholder returns the original page URL which the user was viewing before accessing the page with the form's modal button.

How to use the Available Placeholders:

First we will need a hidden field in our form, let's assume we're naming it: referrallink. Next, while crafting our form modal syntax:

1. If you're using the Placeholder type, you can use the followings:

• referrallink="[current-link]"
• referrallink="[current-title]"
• referrallink="[referral-link]"

The syntax will look similar to:

{rsfpmodal 1 buttonName="Open Form" buttonClass="btn btn-primary" disableclose="0" referrallink="[current-title]"}

2. If you're using the Button or Anchor type, you can use the followings:

• "referrallink":"[current-link]"
• "referrallink":"[current-title]"
• "referrallink":"[referral-link]"

The syntax will look similar to:

<button data-rsfpmodal="1" class="btn btn-primary" data-disableclose="0" data-form-values='{"name":"john","email":"johndoe@test.com","referrallink":"[current-title]"}' data-effect="zoom">Open Form</button>

Make sure to add the hidden field placeholder within the User / Admin emails message to retrieve its value, for example: {referrallink:value}
