Thanks for the quick response. I figured that was how to accomplish. Here's the way I did it if anyone else is interested!
In the Articles mod, make sure you select to display the details in a pop up window.
Go to View Options in the Articles Satellite and add this code at the beginning of the Header Template:
<script>
<!--
function wopen(url, name, w, h)
{
// Fudge factors for window decoration space.
// In my tests these work well on all platforms & browsers.
w += 32;
h += 96;
var win = window.open(url,
name,
'width=' + w + ', height=' + h + ', ' +
'location=no, menubar=no, ' +
'status=no, toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no');
win.resizeTo(w, h);
win.focus();
}
// -->
</script>
Next replace the <a href='[DETAILLINK]' title='[AUTHOR] / [CREATEDDATE]'></a> in the Item Template window with this code:
<a href='[DETAILLINK]' target="popup" onClick="wopen('[DETAILLINK]', 'popup', 480, 320); return false;" title='[AUTHOR] / [CREATEDDATE]'></a>
There you go. A 480px x 320px pop up. Change the size to what you want. We wanted the pop up in the upper left hand corner, but you should be able to change the position as well.
I would still like to see the Articles Satellite module be able to display inline without being redirected back to the Articles mod. Is that something that can be considered in newer version? It would be especially great for an archived articles page. In our case, we have secure viewer roles set for certain articles until they expire, then they become available to the public. When the Satellite tries to go back to display the expired article when set to inline, it locks you out unless you have the correct user role.
For now though, the pop up will work.
Thanks.
