Ask question in new page and not in a pop-up

[Nicola1008]

Hi,

I'm here with a new question,  as you can read from the title.

Is there a way to display the "ask questions form"  not in a pop-up but in a new page (as if it were a Joomla article)  and preserve all the CSS and style of the template?

Could you please provide me a step by step solution? Because I am not able to understand all the VirtueMart files and rules.

Thank you so much if you help me!!

I have the same question. The popup is nice, basically, but will cause much grief: If, while filling in the form. the user accidentally (or intentionally) clicks somewhere outside the popup, the popup disappears and with it all of the text -> ANGER

So I think the form should either be on it's own page, or the popup needs to be secured. Either by saving the text (form prefilled when popup opened again), or have a warning before the popup closes.

Would a more knowledgeable person be kind enough to share his/her thoughts? Thanks!

You can disable modal closing on overlay click by adding hideOnOverlayClick parameter to Fancybox code in askrecomjs.php sublayout.

Thanks for the workaround. I still wish it was not modal by default with a way to switch it on for those who like to set up traps for their clients ;-)

YOu have to modify link and PHP form.
If you dont know PHP, it's not simple to modify And Virtuemart do not provide a switcher to disable modal for ask question.
