Drupal: create content in popup/lightbox?

Question

In Drupal, is there a way to create new content (based on a content type that uses CCK) in a popup or lightbox or similar technique?

Answer 1

There are at least two worlds that I know of:

http://drupal.org/project/popups_reference which uses http://drupal.org/project/popups

and

http://drupal.org/project/noderelationships which uses http://drupal.org/project/modalframe

Both of these are about creating the node in a modal in order to reference it via a node reference field. There might be ones for more general purposes, or you could probably adapt one of those. I've been enjoying noderelationships lately. Haven't tried the other recently.

Answer 2

The projects sprugman refers to are useful when you need to create a referenced node while you're adding another node. If you simply want to make the /node/add/[contenttype] link to open in a lightbox, try the Lightbox2 module.

Answer 3

There is a great module in Drupal automodal that works with Modal Frame API. What you need to do is simply add a new class 'automodal' to your links... and the magic is done for you.
