I want to add a popup login to the Ask button

I'm trying to sort out where the code is for the Ask button so I can see if i can graft in a popup modal login module instead of sending the user to the login page if they're not logged in.

I'm trying to minimize all the redirects the site does for logins, so a popup makes the most sense. I'm using JFBConnect (not that it matters) and I will likely use uikit's popup function to load a custom module position, but I need to know where to stick the code (I assume some sort of if statement in one of the templates?).
Hello Brian,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
If you're referring to when the user click on the ask button, that code file is located in


//JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\themes\simplistic\searchbar.php

//LINE 56 - 60



			<?php if( $acl->allowed( 'add_question' ) && $system->config->get( 'layout_toolbarcreate' ) ){ ?>

				<a class="btn btn-<?php echo $system->config->get('layout_ask_color'); ?> btn-ask pull-left" href="<?php echo DiscussRouter::getAskRoute( $categoryId );?>"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYDISCUSS_OR_ASK_A_QUESTION' );?></a>

			<?php } else if( $system->my->id == 0 ) { ?>

				<a class="btn btn-<?php echo $system->config->get('layout_ask_color'); ?> btn-ask pull-left" href="<?php echo DiscussHelper::getRegistrationLink();?>"><?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYDISCUSS_OR_ASK_A_QUESTION' );?></a>

			<?php } ?>

You don't need to apologize. It was the weekend so I didn't expect a quick response. Compared to Yootheme's support (which is non existent most of the time), you guys are amazing

thanks!

Yep, this worked. I ended up hacking in a uikit popup with a login module into it. Works great

Hi Brian,

Thanks for updating us back. Please make sure you backup this file as it will get override when you update EasyDiscuss. By the way, you can do template override for this file so that your customization won't get replaced. You can refer to this documentation. If you have anymore question, please do not hesitate to ask us.

Thanks and have a nice day ahead.

Yep, I'm already using my own template, so it won't get overwritten.

thanks!
