Put the jquery stuff in a file and include it in any view where you
want to call the dialog function.
The document.write just adds a container for the dialog box. You could
just as easily put the html in the page directly but I put it here so
that it is all together in one js file which can be included anywhere.
Yes you just do _onclick="javascript:dialog({{=_link}})
Not sure how you would get it to work with auth.requires_login(). If
you are on a completely different website then there is no way of
showing a dialog with the original page underneath. So you would
probably need to replace the login view with another view that then
calls dialog(url).
web2py_ajax_page is a function in web2py.js. I don't think it is
documented but you can read the code to see what it is doing. It is
quite short.
I am not sure about the open and close so you will need to experiment.
I think the open will be just before the return at the end of user.
The close may not be necessary as the dialog will close anyway if you
navigate to another page.
