Hello,

i will open a new generated xenforo page ( ACP > Aplications > Elements > New page ) in a Overlay. I hav do this over the link i call this page:

PHP:
<a href="pages/new_pagen_a/" class="OverlayTrigger callToAction"><span>button name to call the new page</span></a>

It now opens als overlay, but uses the complete screen.

What i must do (CSS ?) to fit this overlay in a "box" ? Like this example: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/change-login-bar-to-an-overlay.480/

Sorry, i dont understand what you mean.

All pages in xenfor have only one template and i will only open one page as an overlay. When i do what you say than will affect this all generated pages?

See next post...

Ok, i found it - you mean directly the page template how i put the content in. Thanks. :)

But this brings only a 20px frame around my content.

So, how can i now set the content background color for this overlay a litle bit darker? And the footer is also not inner the box.

Be sure of what content you have in the template that you are wishing to display in the overlay.

Often it won't display correctly in the overlay if you have additional DIV elements.

You see - simple html code.
But the overlay did not run like it should. :(

overlay_2.webp

Realy no one can help?
 
Because overlay is used to display only part of your page content without all html, head, body, footer tags... (in this case is your code above). I guess when you open a xenforo page in a Overlay, it return full html page content, therefore overlay did not display like it should.
 
Thanks for your answer.

Ok - if so, i think it will be th better way when i make a external HTML file with my code above and call this with the overlaytrigger class.

I will testing this ...
 
Ok, i have played around a litle bit and i have found my solution - and its simple:

HTML:
<div class="section"  style="background: rgba(48, 48, 48, .6)">

This gives a grey background with a opacity - "rgba" is the key... :)

Edit: this works for a internal page in a overlay
