Skillbuilder Modal Page: Popup to close on session time out

Hi All,
I implemented skillbuilder modal page plug-in in my application.
When a session expires, the Popup window remains open and in the same popup window current page gets redirected to login page.
I want popup window to close so that users can login into the main (parent) window and then open the popup windows again.
Please give your expert advice on this.
Thanks and regards,

Please help me out in this.

Skillbuilder Modal Page needs to execute a process on the parent page

Hi,
I am using apex 4.1 and theme 2. Also I am using the Skillbuilder modal page plugin.
I have a modal page with a textbox and a button. On click of this button i want to pass the textbox value to the parent page and execute a process on the parent page.
I dont want to hardcode the page numbers here as this same popup page will be used in all the pages in the application. It is to capture the comments before submit on each page. Hence it should just pass the values to the page that called this modal window.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
DS

Take a look at these:
{thread:id=2420256}
{thread:id=2407235}
Basically: define a dynamic action on your parent page to act on the close event of the modal page. On your modal page, use the close method of the plugin (and possibly provide a return value)
From documentation
Advanced Usage
Methods
Close*
The close method can be used to close the modal dialog programmatically. The method accepts an optional parameter which can be anything. That value can then be >accessed in Dynamic Actions that respond to any of the close events of the plug-in. The syntax to access the value is: this.data.modalPageCloseValue. To access the method >from within the child page, see the third example.
$(document).apex_modal_page('close');
$(document).apex_modal_page('close', someVariable);
parent.$(parent.document).apex_modal_page('close');
Events
Manual Close
The Manual Close event fires when the the modal dialog is closed by either the end user or programmatically by the close method. If the close method was used it’s possible >that an optional value was passed to the close method which is exposed in Dynamic Actions as this.data.modalPageCloseValue.
Close
The Close event fires whenever the modal dialog is closed, whether automatically or manually.

Skillbuilder Modal Page Close

Gurus like Dan McGhan, etal.,
I am trying to use Skillbuilder's Modal Page to display a report of outstanding requisition when someone wants to create a new requisition. The condition of the modal page is EXISTS (select 'X' from requisition where requester_emp_id = :APPL_req_emp_id. It displays fine. I want the modal page to close and link to the page with the key when the use clicks on the edit icon (which I gave class "edit-click") to view/update an existing requisition or the NEW button (to create a new requisition) on top of the report. How do I do that. I reviewed the documentation and viewed the demo (a few times) and haven't had much success.

I made some changes:
Page 11:
Your manual close dynamic action:
You were almost there. You set the value of P11_ID to the returned value, which is good, but not enough. Queries in reports work with the session state, but the value of an item in the document is not session state. You need this item to be submitted to session state.
<ul>
<li>I removed all the refreshes. A refresh only works on reports, it does not on items!</li>
<li>I added a true action which submits the page. Since P11_ID now has a value, it will submit this to the session state. The page reloads, and the row fetch process will fetch the values for your primary key (P11_ID) now. Since the modal has a condition which checks whether P11_ID is empty no modal will popup.</li>
</ul>
Page 7:
Manual close dynamic action. Wrong!
window.parent.$(window.parent.document).apex_modal_page('close','#ID#');You can't use #ID# in a dynamic action like that. You need to fetch a value from the DOM somewhere, which is why i used the HREF attribute as a makeshift container for this on the column link.
parent.$(parent.document).apex_modal_page('close', $(this).attr('href'));This will take the ID value stored in href from the triggering element, ie, the elements with .edit-click as a class, ie the column links.
So i set the column link back to Target: URL, and URL to #ID#
For the create button:
you simply close the modal. This would trigger a manual close aswell. In this case the modal just needs to close. However, with my earlier change which submits...
I changed the dynamic action on P11 for the manual close to just run javascript code:
var lReturn = this.data.modalPageCloseValue;
if(lReturn){ //there is a return value
   if(lReturn=='CREATE'){
      //no submits, just close dialog
   }else{
      //an ID is returned. Set P11_ID and submit the page
      $s('P11_ID', this.data.modalPageCloseValue);
      apex.submit();
};Due to JS errors in IE8 i can't (at least from here. And there is too much going on, and i hate F12 >:() . See if it works or if you can figure it out from here.

Pass value from report on skillbuilder modal page

I am using the skillbuilder modal dialog. I have a report that displays in the modal. I want to pass a value from the report back to the page that called the modal and then close the modal. I have tried several different things, but I have not been successful. Any ideas?

Not sure if you have completely read the instructions.pdf that comes with the plugin. The "Events" section (Auto Close event) under "Advanced Usage" in the pdf may help you.
Anyways, I have not tried this solution.

Skillbuilder modal page 2.0 causes a javascript error in APEX 4.2

After installing the Skillbuilder's modal page 2.0 plugin in APEX 4.2, the following javascript error is shown.
Line: 194
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Using IE8 debugger the following code seems to be at fault.
function(){apex.jQuery(document).apex_modal_page({
   "transition":"fade",
   "draggable":true,
   "initialHeight":100,
   "initialWidth":300,
   "overlayOpacity":.5,
   "scrolling":true,
   "loadingImageSrc":""
(function(){apex.da.initDaEventList();})();
(function(){apex.da.init();})();
The modal page work flawlessly in APEX 4.1.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Check your popup page. You probably have an after-processing branch defined which will redirect to your original page. That is not necessarily bad, although i usually set it to redirect to the same page when using a popup. What will probably not work for you is the success message selector. If you defined "#success-message" as the auto-close selector, this means that the plugin will look for an element on the page in the popup for an element which matches this selector.
- What did you define for auto-close selector
- And on the page you redirect to after-processing of the form, how is the success message defined there
If (IF) you have set #success-message as the auto-close selector, and the popup is not closing, then this would mean that the popup message on the page does not match this selector!

Error while opening modal (skillbuilder plugin) page on page load

Hi all,
I'm using 4.2.1. ( on 11GR2 ), theme 25.
Skillbuilder Modal page plugin v2
Modal pages are working great, on all kinds of events, but if I try to open one via a D.A. on page load it fails with "Uncaught TypeError: Object load has no method 'stopImmediatePropagation' " error (in the browser console).
<edit>
just found that this error is caused by the "cancel event" DA action which should be fired after the open modal dialog action. If I ommit this cancel event the modal page is not loaded but also no error is shown.
</edit>
Any ideas on how to fix this? In the end I just want to open a modal window after the page is loaded depending on the value of an item set when loading the page ( the branch sets an item value to indicate that the modal window should be opend ).
Regards
Bas

Narrowed it down to change in behaviour between APEX 4.1 and APEX 4.2
Page source for both versions is alsmost similar, besides the different APEX js libraries being loaded, so probably the source of the problem is somehow in there.
Apex 4.1 generates code below :

Click close button in infopath form shuld be redirect to site page not a list by default

Hi
I am custmizing a list in infopath
i created a view created by user and
i created a site page and assigned a created by user view to a webpart on this page
here i need when this list opens in edit mode , when i click close button this form shuld be redirect to site page
now its rediricting to list>all items
all items is default view for this list
adil

Hi adil,
According to your description, my understanding is that you wanted the redirect to another page once InfoPath form had been closed.
You can add a Content Edit web part above the InfoPath form web part with the following code:
$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#DialogFinalMessage').children().length>0)
window.location.href = "<Desired destination page URL>";
For more information:

Modal Page Plugin showing Blank Page.

Hi All,
I am using Skillbuilder modal page 2.0 in APEX 4.2.
Whenever I open the modal page, Blank page opens.
Can anyone guide me what could be the problem.
To open the modal page, I did the following steps.
1. Installed Plugin 2.0
2. From parent page I created a button. Set action to "Defined by Dynamic Action". (I also tried defining button id="CREAT_BUTTON" , Dynamic action with jQuery selector etc. as shown in sample video. But that also doesn't work.)
3. Created Dynamic action, on Click, mentioned the button and gave the path of new page to open.
4. Changed component setting for plugin, and set the theme to 1.

Hi,
Your "Embed in Frames" setting was set to "Deny" under Edit Application Properties -> Security -> Browser Security.
I have set it to "Allow from same origin".
This has resolved the issue. Please test.
I suggest that you change the page template of page# 2 to "Popup". That way you can avoid application logo, navigation bar etc on the modal window.
Thanks,
Rohit

Skillbuilders Modal Page - End Open event

Hi,
I'm using Skillbuilders Modal Page 2.0.0. plugin on Apex 4.2, and I can't seem to get the event End Open to work.
I stumbled upon this thread Skillbuilder Modal Page - Dynamic Title but the solution Tom suggested didn't help; nothing happens even if I set an alert to pop up on End Open.
I will be grateful for any hint you may send my way.

Hi, Tom, thanks for your reply!
Yes, I'm using version 2.0.0.
Yes, I changed the name of the event in the plugin settings: End Open - apexmodalpagecomplete.
But maybe I'm using it wrong.
I'm creating a new dynamic action, and the event is set to End Open.
Then I have to choose Selection Type and I'm not really sure what to put there.
Could you help me out?
Thank you!
Oh, and I will create an example on apex.oracle.com some time today.

Skillbuilder Modal popup turns black when click submit button

Hi,
Ive used the great skill-builder's plug-in to display my page 2 popup modally from page1 by clicking a button and it works as expected. However i realized when i click the Submit button on the popup page it turns black(pls get me right here its the background of the popup page-page2 not the first page-page1 i am talking about) while refreshing.
apex 4.1.0/Oracle 11g Ent,
any help please...regards.

Skillbuilder Modal uses software named "Colorbox" for its modal presentation. The first problem that you had probably occured because you had not yet selected a theme. The position of the close button varies depending on the theme that you select. You selected theme 1, therefore the close button is in the lower right hand corner. Some of the other themes may better suit your taste. There are 5 to choose from. BTW, these themes cannot be easily changed so you pretty much have to decide on 1 of the 5. I think Dan is working on some more options with future releases of SB Modal.

SkillBuilders Modal Page... closes immediately after loading

I would like to use the Modal Page plug-in from http://www.skillbuilders.com .*
I installed the two sample applications from their web site with different results:
The employee example works fine.
The example with the modal feedback worked fine yesterday, but today it shrinks (after loading normally) so that I can't see anything but the bar with the window name and the close button.
In my own application it's even worse:
I have links in a table which should open a modal window on click.
I tried several settings, but the only thing that's happening is that the window closes immediately after loading and showing the page for a half a second (or not at all).
Leaving the "Auto-close On Element Selector" empty did not work. The default value "div#success-message" kept coming back until I replaced it with "null". But still no effect.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this behaviour?
Best regards,
Sabine
The Security Settings for all three applications:
Cache: Enabled
Embed in Frames: Allow

In the meantime I had the problem that the window didn't close at all, but I think I figured it out.
So if the Modal Plug In does not work properly, check the following:
<li>Does every process that should close the window have a 'Success Message' defined?
<li>In the unconditional branch, is "include process success message" checked?
<li>In the dynamic action, is "Auto-close On Element Selector" set to "div.t1success" in the true action?
BTW: The "shrinking problem" described in the first post still exists - in IE. In Firefox, it works fine.
Best regards,
Sabine

Thanks For Your Support in advance i want to know that when I open a website that time view print option and when I click close button then page also new window page also close. I want to copy it how i can stop this print option?

WHEN I OPEN A URL THAT TIME WITH PAGE OPEN SHOWS PRINT OPTION AND WHEN I CLICK CLOSE BUTTON OF PRINT OPTION THAT TIME NEW WINDOW BUTTON IS CLOSED. I WANT TO CLOSE ONLY PRINT OPTION. PLEASE HELP ME...............THANKS

Many sites which offer specific "print formatted" pages do that: they assume that once you have finished with the print dialog you no longer want the page itself. So for your convenience they close it. Not so convenient for you, since you still want to view the page.
I'm not aware of an easy solution for this. I can think of a couple different approaches.
First, maybe there's an add-on to solve this? That would be easiest.
Second, maybe there's a userscript to solve this?
The Greasemonkey add-on runs userscripts which you can copy or download. Be careful to install only long-establish and trusted scripts. (''Is there a site that has this bad behavior that I can view without logging in? I will test one of my existing scripts to see whether it helps.'')
Third, Firefox has an old system for restricting site permissions in a custom text file in your profile folder (named user.js). Editing this file is a bit advanced, and I haven't been able to test it, but the system works along these lines:
<br>// Define a policy name for window.close permission
// (assumes you don't have this pref already)
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nowindowclose");
// Define policy: disable sites from using window.close
// in their scripts
user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.Window.close", "noAccess");
// List of sites subject to this policy
user_pref("capability.policy.nowindowclose.sites", "firstbadsite.com secondbadsite.com");
Again, I haven't tested that and recommend looking into add-ons first.

I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong black box

Hi - I'm not only having trouble waking up my MBP from sleep and having to restart repeatedly which is a pain in itself, but now when it restarted, I have these black boxes surrounding things, e.g., there is a black box around the red "close" button on the upper left corner of this page. There is also an oblong resizable black box sitting on top of anything. The content changes depending on the actions I take. Right now it says, "You are currently on a close button. To click this button, which closes the current window, press Control-Option-Space." Right now I'm open in Firefox, but it doesn't matter if only Finder is open, it's still there. I've tried closing all my applications and restarting and I also reset the PRAM. It won't go away. It's probably something simple, but I don't know how to get rid of it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Janet

Thanks so much. I saw this on "desktop strangeness" immediately after I posted and tried to retract my question. It worked perfectly. I'm not sure how VoiceOver got turned on unless something happened when I was trying to wake up the computer. I open the lid and it flashes whatever is open and then the screen goes black and I can't wake it up. Still looking for the resolution to this.
