Modal dialogue auto popup

How to do the auto pop up of modal dialogue in Lithium without click? Atleast by using Javascript to launch the modal dialogue, how to know the modal dialogue hypertext link?

    saideepak  - The Khoros modal component always renders a link/button, even if you don't specify the parameter. In this case the default is rendered.

    But you can use CSS in your skin to hide the button, but still use the Javascript to trigger its click event.

saideepak  - You can include a custom modal component as described by Parshant. Afterwards you can access your community and the page, where you included the component.

Use your browsers web development tools to inspect the source. There should be a HTML snippet for the modal, including a trigger button.

With this information (CSS Class/ID) you can add an additional Javascript snippet, which needs to trigger the buttons click event to show the modal without any user interaction.

 

Best regards
