Open dashboard subview in a popup (lightbox style)

Hi,

I was wondering whether or not it is possible to open a dashboard subview as a pop-up on the requesting dashboard. Preferably in a kind of lightbox-style (with the background becoming darker).

I’ve looked at browser_mod as this offers the option to display a pop-up containing cards. However i fail to see how I would go about displaying a subview (URL) this way.

Anyone here that has succeeded in doing this and able to push me in the right direction?

Thanks very much!

That would be great!

Did you find any solution for this?

No, unfortunately not. I would very much like to see that functionality in HA.

However, yesterday I did find out about:

I haven’t tried it out yet, but going by the description and the card info this does some pop-up stuff… :slight_smile:

You can have popups (and other things) using

Thanks for your comment. However, did you even read what I’m asking \ proposing?
Browser_mod offers pop-ups, yes. But not for entire dashboard subviews.
If you think otherwise, please show me an example\code.

Browser mod pop-ups can be sized as you wish and they contain cards. How is that different than subviews?

Look at my signature for example pop-ups I use.

It is far easier to edit a (more or less) complex subview than it is to edit a horizontal or vertical card which has a lot of cards embedded. Besides that, using subviews can also provide a more logical seperation in a dashboard system (depending on how you use it of course…).

So, to me this is something different entirely from popping up a card.

Sorry, but I don’t see a signature on your posts…
