You can also make a module open in a modal by using the inline Content Tag described above and then simply embedding the module inside those tags.

You can do so by using the core "Load Modules" plugin:

{modalcontent mymodule}
{loadmodule mod_custom My Module Title}
{/modalcontent}

{modal content="mymodule"}Click here to open My Module{/modal}

Or you can also use Modules Anywhere to accomplish this:

{modalcontent mymodule}
{module My Module Title}
{/modalcontent}

{modal content="mymodule"}Click here to open My Module{/modal}

Some modules that rely on scripts and external styles may not work using the inline method. In that case, you might need to use the alternative method below:

Via a new article

An alternative way to open a module in a popup window is to first create a new article and embed the module in that article.

Then, simply link to that new article using Modals.
