Modal Window to external Url

Hello all!
I found some forum posts but I couldn't find a solution on that.
We are having two WDJ applications, running in portal. In application "A" I want to call application "B", whilst App "A" needs to be unmodifieable. I would prefer a pop up window of App "B" while "A" is locked as long as "B" is active (not finished).
Portal eventing won't work, because it will not be shown next to each other but in two different windows.
Best would be a modal window wherein App "B" is shown. but I can't figure out how I can show a wdj window popUp pointing to another url.
If anybody knows how to open a model pop up pointing to a url would be great, if anybody knows how to pass the event "finished" from that window to the other application would also be great
We use 2004
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Open modal window with extern URL?

Hello,
how can I open a modal window with a external url?
e.g. I want to open Google, but WD Code should stop and the google window is in front of my portal until it is closed. Then WD code continues.
WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(..) can't open a modal window, right? WD Source Code keeps running...
Can I open a WD-Window with context from a external URL?
I would be grateful for any help!
Best regards
Iris Deuring

Hi,
Create an action for a button and write this code in that.
IWDWindow window =
      wdControllerAPI.getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
        "http://www.google.de",
        "Google - Search for an email address",
        false);
    window.open();
Hope this help.

Open the external URL in another tab of window browser

Hi,
I have create application to open the external URl into new window browser by using CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW method. now how can i open this url into same window tab. is there any method that allow me to open this external URL into window tab.
Thanks,
Digamber.

The open external window API doesn't support specifying "in another tab". That is completely browser specific! Some browsers don't even have tabbed browsing.[ I don't even think that even javascript has this functionality!|http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-19843.html]
You'll not be able to do this. Sorry.
You might be able to change the browser configuration so that it defaults new windows into a new tab... But not through WD.
Cheers,
Chris

Transaction Launcher - External URLs

Hello,
I've created a link to an external URL using transaction launcher and the actual link itself works fine, but I have a couple small issues that I'd like to fix if anyone has any advice:
First, I have it set to launch the URL in a new window, and the window pops up behind the Webclient. Is it possible to have it pop up on top?
Second, once the user clicks this link, in the webclient itself, they're taken to a screen that says:
The object you have selected is starting in a new browser window. You can continue working normally in the current application. However, you may have to navigate back to the page you were working on.
...and then they have to click the back button to return to the screen they were on before they clicked the link. Does anyone know how to keep the web client on whatever screen the user was already on and just launch the link in a new window without having it navigate anywhere else?
Thanks!

Hi TOM,
If your requirement is to open some URL say google.com etc in a now window, then there are only 2 ways
1) Use Transaction Launcher
2) Use PopUp Window.
1) If you use transaction launcher, and created the link in your direct link group then on click of the link, the URL will open in new window but you cant avaoid the message that you get in the current window. Also, if users POPUP Blocker is ON, user will never come to know why the new window has not launch.
2) This is very simple and straight forward approch for opening URL. However, POPUP windows in WEB UI are modal windows, so say on click on a button on Account Overview Screen, i open google.com in a popup then unless i close this popup , i can not work on the account overview screen . However, you can see the account overview screen as it is and you can resume back when the popup is closed. Also you can define the even handler on close event of pop up so you can pass the data to & fro between the webclient view and the pop up.
to open some extrenal URL in a PopUp , You will need to create a blank view and attach it to a window. In .htm file of the view, you can use tag IFRAME and call your external URL here.
I have done this to open a dotNet application through web ui and it works excellently !!
Hope its helpful.
Thanks & Rregards

PS : the popup blocked problem will still be there however, it flashes a message like pop up blocker is ON in case of using popup window

How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?

I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
   // Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
   // Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
   // and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
   sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
          console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i
I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.
Any ideas? Thanks

Providing external url for the fqdn for webfeed returns error in eventlog that shows internal url is being used - how to change to the external url?

I've got my Rdweb accessible on both my internal and external network by using split dns locally to resolve the external url (remote.domain.com/rdweb) to resolve and everything works fine. However users don't want to use the rdweb interface (as it is slower
than just clicking on a rdp shortcut.
Following the notes at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14488.distribution-of-remote-apps-and-desktops-in-windows-server-2012.aspx - I've tried to set up the webfeed on a Win7+ machine but when I enter the external url that
is protected by an SSL cert the eventlog shows that the internal address is being used and it doesn't match the certificate. - "There is a problem with this connection's security certificate.
The remote computer cannot be authenticated due to problems with its security certificate.
Security certificate problems might indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept data you send to the remote computer.
Windows cannot continue setting up this connection. Contact your workplace administrator for assistance.
Connection name:
Connection URL: https://internalservername/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx
How do I set the servers to use the external address rather than the internal one - i'm assuming it's similar to exchange's
Set-webservicesvirtualdirectory command but I can't find the equivalent command documented anywhere.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please check below mention point.
• Create a relevant DNS entry in the mentioned zone to point to the RDS environment’s internal IP address
• Create a relevant DNS entry in external DNS to point to the firewall which is publishing RDS’s external IP address
• You can use the below mention script to change the FQDN of the RDP files provided by RD Web Access / RemoteApp and Desktop connection feed.
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment

Accessing External Url using Http Utility | Error when using from Weblogic on Solaris

We are using Http Utility (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/) from
Apache for accessing external URL. A XML string is sent as POST parameter to the
URL and the response is also an XML string. The URL is accessed over HTTPS protocol.
I am setting the following parameters in the java class:
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
// set the property
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
The java class written to access the external URL using Http Utility works perfectly
fine when it is run from either the command line (of Windows or Solaris using
main() ) or from weblogic on windows. The same java class throws an exception

Opening an external url in the same browser

Hi all,
I need to open an external URL (for instance,www.google.com) from my WDA application by 'linktoaction' or 'button' event and this should be happen in the same parent window and not as a external window.
Please suggest me steps with example codes to perform this.
Regards,
Dinesh

Why use a linktoaction? Just use a linkToURL.

You can use the target property to control how the link opens.
If you must use a button or linkToAction, the you will have to use an Exit Plug:

How to show refreshed modal window(2nd report region window) - reposting

Hi,
I have a requirement where i scroll thru different rows in grid region.
Moment I tab out from first row, I pop up 2nd report, where I show related detailed data lines for the tabed out line of first grid.
So my 2nd window is a report region query, whose 'where' clause contains the primary key from the row of first grid window.
On tab out of a row of first window, I have a javascript function, which shows 2nd report region using:
var mywindow =
window.showModalDialog
('http://MY-URL-/ebus/apexQA111/f?p=&APP_ID.:25:&SESSION.',myObject,'dialogWidth=800px;dialogHeight=300px;dialogLeft:50;dialogTop:50');
Problem:
On First tab out, I get the correct data display on 2nd window, which is related to current tabbed out row.
However, If I tab out from next record, modal window pops up and it still shows my detailed data of first tabbed out row.
Somehow the 2nd window is not getting refreshed/recalculated based on my new tabbed out row. I only have showmodaldialog in my JS function.
Anyway to refresh the window based on new values of the where clause variable? and then showing the window?
Please help!!
Regards,
Ravi.

Hi Rave,
You can refresh any window with the java script below, just make it conditional on the value of an item within your page so that it dose not run every time the page is loaded.
if ($v('P1_MY_ITEM') === 'foo' ) {
window.location.href = document.location.href;
}

Problem refreshing the parent page when closing a modal window.

I have page that opens a modal window from a report link column. In the modal window I want to be able to make my changes and press an Apply button so that the modal window is closed and the parent page is refreshed to show the modified details in the report. In Firefox all works well but in IE I get the error message ‘Window.opener.location is null or not an object’ .
When I comment out window.opener.location.href=window.opener.location.href; the modal window closes without error but I want to refresh the parent page with changes made in the modal window.
I’m afraid my java script is very limited (the code is based on other peoples examples.)
Parent Page I call this function from a report link column to display a modal window. Sets the hidden SAVE_STATUS field in destination page to ‘N’
function modalWin(pshow)
var url;
url='f?p=&APP_ID.:'+pshow+':&SESSION.::::SAVE_STATUS:N';
if (window.showModalDialog) {
window.showModalDialog(url,"name","dialogWidth:650px;dialogHeight:700px"); }
else {
window.open(url,"name","height=700,width=650,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no ,modal=yes");
Destination page (modal window)
HTML Header.
The function closeWindow should refresh the parent page and close the modal window.
<base target=_self>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
Html Body attribute.
onLoad="closeWindow();"
P_UPDATE_DATE process called from the Apply changes button. Sets the SAVE_STATUS flag to ‘Y’ for the onload in the html body.
UPDATE event
SET event_date = :P5001_EVENT_DATE
WHERE contract_reference = :P330_EVD_CONTRACT
AND event_number = :P330_EVD_EVENT_NUMBER;
:SAVE_STATUS := 'Y';
Thanks in advance, I will have a look when back in the office on Monday.
Cheers Pete

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help. I think I've sorted it using your first suggestion doing a refresh in the parent page, I just didn't know how at the time.
What I've got in the parent window after the call to the modal window is the reload window.location.reload(); and in the modal window I close it using window.close(); The down side being the refresh happens if I use my 'Apply changes' or 'Cancel' button but I can live with that for now.
It seems to work in IE and firefox but as I say most of what I'm doing is cobbling together using other peoples code without really understanding exactly what it does. Anyway thanks for your help, sound like I should look into JQUERY when I have time.
Thanks Pete

ICE is there a way to allow my client to make External URLs open in new tabs?

Hi.
I have a set my client's site up with lots of editable regions so they can manage content. Although the InContext editor is great for letting my client link to internal pages, documents and external pages I couldn't find where they would select the external URL to open in a new browser tab. Obviously I can go back in and add the html to their links but is there a way they can set the target?
Cheers
David

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

Flash movie in IE modal window freezes

Hi,
We have a Flash application, written in AS 2, that presents system simulation to learners. During the process we present "audio popups" using External Interface to call a JavaScript function that ultimately calls window.showModalDialog (It's for a corporate environment that requires IE). The page it opens contains a flash file. When one of these audio popups occurs on the first step of the simulation, the flash in the popup is frozen.
Is anyone aware of a scenario that could cause files in modal windows (or possibly just 2 Flash movies on the same page) to freeze up? The file loads, but doesn't play beyond frame 1 and is unresponsive if there is a button.
I can change the Flash file in the popup and the result is always the same, so it's not the file in the popup.
I've replaced the Flash file on the root page with a simple launch file that only calls the popup and it works fine.
Also replacing the modal window with a window.open seems to work as well, but right now we'd like to continue using the modal.
Possibly worth noting, if the modal window is open for too long, I get a "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly...." notice when I close the popup. Not sure if it's related.
Thanks for any help,
Jeff

Hi kp
Is this Captivate 1 or 2? There are no issues to my knowledge
with either playing the movie in IE7. I use IE7 and see movies just
fine.
My question about version stems from the fact that there are
typically more files to distribute with Captivate 2 than there are
with Captivate 1. However, this can also depend on what you have
selected when you publish. For example, in Captivate 1, you would
have three files to ship if you used the .SWF output with the Full
Screen option. There would be two HTML files and a .SWF.
With Captivate 2, assuming you haven't deviated from the
defaults, you have four files. Two .SWFs, one .HTM and a JavaScript
file.
When you said you see a "black" screen, does this mean the
screen is really black? Or was that a typo and you meant to say it
was "blank" instead. If so, you need to be aware that there is an
additional file you need to include. If you fail to copy the
JavaScript file, the page is blank. I'm thinking this is a strong
possiblity here.

Registration page not working in modal window

Hi could use some wisdom here,
The page is setup to appear in a modal window. However, when you click on "Register Now" button the page appears, then disappears very quickly. This of course does not permit customer interaction, and I can't tell what might be causing this? Tech support said they cannot assist with this issue and recommended that I contact this forum.
The page URL is: http://www.printingp…ndiego.com/login-register.html
I sure could use a little help!
-Thanks

It's Control-click...

Regarding TreeItemType and Non Modal window in WDA

Hello Guys,
I am showing data in tree format in WDA and handling onAction event of TreeItemType. whenever user is clicking the last node in hierarchy (UI element TreeItemType), I am navigating to detailed view.
the problem I am facing is that user is expanding the tree and selecting the child node to navigate to detailed view and now when he comes back to initial view, entire tree gets collapsed. and this leads user to again expand the tree.
Is anyone have idea on this problem. I wanted my first view to be same after user navigates to 2nd view and comes back to 1st one.
apart from this I have below question,
1) In WDA, we cannot have non-modal window. Correct?
2) If we call external window within WDA then the same application will not work in portal environment (WDA iView). Please let me know if this is correct?
Thanks,
Chandra

Hallo Chandra,
What you do when the control returns from view-2 to view-1 ? . Tree is not collapsing itself i suppose. Some how ,Contexts are being manipulated or node is invalidated forcing supply function to call.
You could save the lead selected item before you navigate to view-2. When you come back again position the correct item.
> 1) In WDA, we cannot have non-modal window. Correct?
In what context you mean ? you can have external_window or link_to_url.
If you mean popup then it is not possible to have non-modal.
> 2) If we call external window within WDA then the same application will not work in portal environment (WDA iView). Please let me know if this is correct?
This is correct.
