Infobox

Hi, I've been doing some testing with the software and i was wondering if anyone knew a way to make the infobox remain open even if the users try to close it. I dont know if this can be done by adding a couple of lines of code into the *.php file but i have seen that working on other pages and for me it would be more than a nice feature, it would actually solve a couple of issues i have been dealing with. Also if anyone knows how to block the users from modifying the size of the infobox window, that would be of help too.
Thanks in advance.

PS: Please forgive me if these are basic html/php programming questions but I don't know much about it.

Resize is doable by editing info.js: change window.open(.......resizable=yes...) to window.open(......resizable=no.....)

For infobox to remain open:

Edit info.js:
add // to line 41

change line 43 to if(0)

Thanks for the reply hans. I tried modifying those lines but they had no effect on the infobox. I even tried renaming the info.js to see what happens if the info.php doesn't find it, because nothing I changed in the java script made any difference anyways, and the infobox kept working without a problem. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks.

Which one are you still having problem? Resize or InfoBox to remain open?

Please make sure you are using the latest v4.0.12. The line number is based on this.

You might need to have something with PHP/HTML programming skill to help you out a bit. The customization steps shouldn't be too difficult, but it is easy to make mistake unless you understand the syntax.

I am having the same problem!!! I edited popupName, "toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=" and I still can resize the window. Is there anything else that I need to change.

Sorry, our mistake.

For disabling resize in InfoBox to work, apart from modifying info.js [ from window.open(.......resizable=yes...) --> window.open (......resizable=no.....) ], you need to apply the same change to fs_login.php, fs_ReqSignUpI.php and unload.php.

Ok, thanks for the update!!! After changing those files the user can't rezise the infobox anymore. However my other problem about the infobox remaining open, still doesn't work. Are there any other files I should be changing for that also?

Thanks.

Nando, we double-check the customization for InfoBox to remain open. It should work. The expected behavior is that when you click the close button in the InfoBox, it will re-open itself.

One thing is that you need to make sure your anti-popup in your IE is disabled, otherwise it won't work (Note that InfoBox will display correctly the first time even though anti-popup is enabled, it is just the re-open customization won't work if anti-popup is enabled).
