Great use of thickbox

Hi,

very nice and simple design. I really liked your use of thickbox.
How did you get the whole form into thickbox? I would appreciate if you can provide some code samples

For the most part, thickbox is driven by the node template (node-poster.tpl.php). If the user (or search engine robot) doesn't have JS, they still get the node page w/o thickbox. This is what the teaser link looks like:

<?php
 print '<a href="/'.$node->poster_url.'" class="thickbox" onclick="this.href=\'/posters/view/'.$node->nid.'/tb?height=500&width=750\';">'; 
?>

There is also a custom module that generates the poster urls and handles navigation, searching, filtering, etc. Its very specialized for this site/product type. I originally tried to use views + views filterblock to handle all of that, but it ended up being a PITA and easier just to roll my own.

Re: Nice!

I'm also wondering on how to make that advanced search?

Re: Re: Nice!

The advanced search and poster page itself is a completely custom solution. I originally attempted to do it using exposed views filters, but realized shortly into it that it was just easier to roll my own.
