Is there any way to use article tags outside of article context?
Here’s my problem:
inside every article, my client wants to have a javascript pop-up window with html contact form, so the visitor can send inquiry about that particular products right from that page.
I’ve made another section called pop-up with zem_contact_reborn in it and with a little bit of javascript that’s working fine.
BUT, I need to put article title as the subject of that message.
So, because I’m in the pop-up section, I can’t use <txp:title /> or custom field from products section.
That is why I wonder if there is any way to use article tags outside of article context?
Any other suggestion how to work this out is appreciated :)

You could still you the article tag…
something like
<txp:article><txp:zcr tags></txp:article>

Do you mean something like:
<txp:zem_contact_text label=“Subject:” default=”<txp:article><txp:zcr tags></txp:article>” /> this is in pop-up section.
If so, what is <txp:zcr tags> ?
Edit: ah, zcr is zem contact reborn, but I still don’t get it…

OK:) Not exactly what you want but it might help
Try something like
<txp:article><txp:zem_contact to="email@domain.tld" label="" thanks="some message here.">
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Your name" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_email label="Your email" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label="Your question" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_checkbox label="Check this box before clicking the send button" /><br />
<txp:zem_contact_send_article />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send" />
</txp:zem_contact></txp:article>from the plugin’s help:
<txp:zem_contact_send_article />can be used to create a “send article” link within an article form, connecting it to the contact form.

Re: Is there any way to use article tags outside of article context?
Guys, thanks, but I don’t need to send article. I need a contact form with name, email and SUBJECT which is taken from article title or from custom field.
That contact form needs to be javascript popup.
Btw, I tried to put this code inside my article (directly and with txp:output_form) and I get
Tag error: <txp:article> -> Textpattern Notice: article_tag_illegal_body
I don’t see how this solves my problem, or am I missing something?

Does this TxpTip help?

Thanks, but I think this is a fancier version of what I already have.
I also created another section and I have a js pop-up window with zem contact form in it.
What I need is a way to enter a subject of that html form which is product title or custom field.

What if you put your contact form on your article page instead of as its own section?
ala: this tutorial
or, I’ve never tried a variable quite like this, but can you pass the article title to a variable while on a page, then use the variable in your contact section?

I thought of that, but the pop-up window needs to have some kind of url, if my contact form is on the same page, don’t see how can I make it pop-up and send email with it?

In the tutorial they use
href=”#?w=500” rel=“popup_name”
Then they have a hidden div with
div=“popup_name”
So the url you use is the hash tag combined with the rel/id of popup. This sends you to the hidden div on the page. You then would put your contact form in the hidden div, and the form should send normally.
The js code they give handles the rest.

Re: Is there any way to use article tags outside of article context?
I followed the tutorial, but still no luck. Everything works exept for the main problem:
<txp:zem_contact_text label=“Subject:” default=”<txp:title />” name=“tema” break=”“ required=“0” />
so I have the same problem from beginning: how to use article tags outside of article context (if possible)?
Or, if some php programmer is reading this, how can I declare and use global variable in this case? I tried but I’m not that good with php…
