News/Announcements detail in a Modal window

I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out if there's a way to open the detail view of a news/Announcements article in a modal window.

Ajax
Lots of jQuery modal window plugins around that can do this as well. Heaps.

Portal page to launch on new "modal window"

Scenario: I have a page that i want to pop-up when i clicked on the workset where the page is linked. i can set the page to launch on a new window from the page object property but i can still click the navigation links when the page is launch. How do you set the page to launch on a new modal window instead of just a new window?
Is it possible to make the portal page act as a modal window, just like the window when i clicked on the portal log off button?

Hi
Try setting the launch in new windoe property to "Display in separate headerless portal window" as described in
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/49/330a07fd695aa8e10000000a42189d/frameset.htm

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;
}

How do I include/show data from a child table in a Modal Window?

How do I show data from a child table in a Modal Window?
I have an application where each customer might have multiple addresses and phone numbers which are stored in child tables. When I show the customer in a record on a screen I can place a Modal Window button on the screen which can be pushed at runtime
to display detail information for the particular customer parent table which works great. However, I would also like to display the data from the address and phone number child tables. Is there a way to do that? Or can I just launch a hole separate screen
which would automatically display the needed data for the particular customer? If yes, how?
Thank you for any help.

I am not even sure how to describe my situation in such a way that this forum incident would be of benefit to other people as I think it is fairly unconventional.
The “add contactaddress” link does not show up on the right.
The contactaddress table is a child of the contact table.
The contact table is a child of the contactlink table.
And the contactlink table is a child of the person table.
I have it set up this way because the contact in the contact table may be a contact to multiple persons in the person table and I do not want to re-enter the contact info every time the contact is used.
In the list detail screen of the person table I can see the contactlink child collection so that I can see the name of the person in the contact table at runtime. However, the contactaddress collection is not related to the person table so it does not show
up on the right hand side of the design screen as an “add contactaddress”; nor is there “add contact” link.
What I would like to happen during runtime is that it is not necessary to switch screens from the person list detail screen to a contact list detail screen to see the addresses and phone numbers for the contact.
Is my setup unnecessarily convoluted? Is there a better way? Please see the two snapshots below.
Perhaps there is a way to call up a Detail screen from the List Detail at runtime?
Anyway, if you are still reading, thank you very much for your help.

JRE 1.5.0_13 problem with Modal Window

We have stand alone browser based application built on HTML, Javascript, and Java (non-GUI applet). We were running the Sun JRE 1.4.2_06, but have recently upgarded to 1.5.0_13. As soon as we upgraded to 1.5, started experiencing the below problem -
The HTML screen displays a modal windows which makes a Java call to the MQClient software through Applet (via OBJECT Tag) to communicate with mainframe. The MQClient Java code seems to be blocked until the user clicks on any other area of the screen to shift the focus from our modal dialog to any other window (either clicking on the task bar, clicking on another window in the background, or hitting Alt/F10 key).
The same code runs fine with JRE 1.4.2_06.
Based on a further analysis+ it seems like there is an issue, when a modal html window makes a java call for creating a socket connection (other then localhost). In this scenario, socket is never created unless you drag a modal window or move a focus away from a modal window.
Above problem seems to be resolved with JRE 1.6.0_10.

.. All the Java class files are bundled in a zip file under different packages and Zip file path is provided at run time when Application starts. It is safest to distribute classes and application resources as Jar files. One reason is that Sun decided to not bother even checking Zips for digital signatures, so no trusted app. can afford to try loading Zip files.
..The path of Zip file is at C:\EALife\Program ...Whoa up a second there!
If this applet is only ever being loaded on the same machine as the codebase, why is it an applet at all? It would make more sense to distribute/install an application.
If this applet is being loaded by PCs at remote locations, then the will probably not have a C:\EALife\Program path at all (especially is they use Ubuntu, like here).
..and home directory path is C:\EAFramework\Program\Screens. We are putting all paths in a single variable (APP_CLASS_PATH) and using that variable as a parameter value in Object Id tag for creating an Applet. Below is the code snnipet for Object Id tag -Sun has championed a script to use for applet versioning and writing the applet element. I suggest you use it instead, it is known as 'deployJava.js' - see top hit at Google for details.

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

How to create a modal window....?

Hi All,
                  i have created a WDA ALV Report,and for one of the field i assigned a cell editor 'Button"
Whenever i click on that button( which was in the ALV grid) i need to display some other data in the modal window...
1.How can we create a modal window...& where exactly i need to write the code ?
Please help me to sort out this...
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
1) Go to the methods tab of the view containing your ALV & create an event handler method for event ON_CLICK of ALV. This method would be called by the system whenever you click the button within your ALV cells.
2) For this create a new view say POPUP_VIEW & a new window say POPUP_WINDOW.
3) Now embed your POPUP_VIEW within your POPUP_WINDOW.
4) Now within the view which displays your ALV, go to the event handler method for ON_CLICK & call the popup window.
This can be done by making use of the code wizard. Just start the wizard and select the "Generate Popup" radio button. When you do an F4 help within your component use you would now be able to see an entry with the name of your new window that you have created i.e, POPUP_WINDOW. Just select that entry and press on enter. That's it you have done the needful for achieving your desired functionality.
Regards,
Uday
Am just pasting you the code from my event handler mthod for ON_CLICK event:
METHOD call_popup .
DATA lo_window_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_manager.
DATA lo_api_component TYPE REF TO if_wd_component.
DATA lo_window         TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                     window_name            = 'POPUP_WINDOW'
                     message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
                     button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_ok
                     message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none
                     default_button         = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok

Can the desktop and mobile version of site share one News Announcement module?

Hello. Can I make the News Announcement module work for both the desktop and phone version of a site? I want to use one set of News Announcements so have created a separate template for the desktop detail and the phone detail.
On the mobile News page, seen here, news - Latest News (make sure you reduce the browser to a phone size) I have altered the module code generating the announcement list from {module_announcement,a,,,,} to the following so that it uses a mobile specific template (as suggested on the BC help page here Business Catalyst Help | Using custom templates for modules). The template is in the Templates folder.
{module_announcement,a template="/Templates/MOBILE-INNER-News-pages.tpl"}
But it isn't working yet, on selecting a news item link on the mobile version the detail loads but it is the desktop version not the mobile version. Is my code snippet wrong? The news items themselves have been assigned the desktop version template which I imagine could be the problem. Is there a way around this or do I have to create two sets of news announcements, one for desktop the other for phones?
Cheers for any help with this.

How to set a Swing component as Modal window on a SWT Component.?

How to set a Swing component as Modal on a SWT Component.I mean, I have a window (SWT Container) with some menu items.
When I click on one menu item then i will get one new Swing Window.
When creating the new frame I had passed Modal value as TRUE in the constructer.Now child is not behaving as Modal Window.I mean I am able to go to parent window even though the child window is opened as a Modal Window.This is only happened when I double click on the Title Bar of the Parent Window.
If I try to click on any other part of the Parent Window except Title bar ... the child window is working as a Modal Window.
Can any one suggest me to solve this one !!

int this case, do this :
JFrame f = new JFrame("Authentification");
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add(myJPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setBounds(x,y,w,h);
f.setVisible(true);
Where myJPanel is the Panel you developped.

Rebuilding Site with Modal Windows in Muse

My portfolio site uses JavaScript to create a modal window with a width based on the size of the visitor's browser window. I'd like to recreate the site with Muse, but I'm not sure how to recreate this function. How do I incorporate the current JavaScript into a Muse website? Is there a Muse widget that replicates the function? Thanks.

For a separate window in browser you can use composition widgets within Muse , in case you want to use your own code you can use Insert >HTML option in Muse pages.

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.

New Announcement in this forum

I just saw, that Jan created a new announcement on top of this forum. Good !
=>
If you have java code to display on the forum, surround it with tags and the output formatter will format the code for you with syntax highlighting and with indentation intact. See thread Re: Where can I find the JAR-File of the JDAPI-demo FormDumper ? for an example.
It works for PLSQL code as well.

Good thread! And good announcement, Jan.
Here are a few comments:
What is an "empty b tag"?
Here's how I do it: When I post a message that includes ampersand characters such as the &amp91; for the [, and then go back and edit the message, the board software screws up the ampersands. In order to preserve them, [u]every time I edit the message, I must add "amp;" after the ampersand, so it looks like this: &amp; If I don't, the [code] turns into an active tag. The best way to get it right is to copy my message into a simple editor, and make corrections there, then paste it back into this board's edit window. …so you can see why the "empty b tag" sounds good.
As for history of where we learned the methods: Francois learned of it <a href=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=960521#960521 target=_new>here.</a> And I learned about it from Andrew P Clarke (exactly 4 years ago) <a href=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=546435#546435 target=_new>here.</a>
And incidentally, that code formatting feature failed <a href=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=1387245#1387245 target=_new>for a time last year.</a>
Jan, I think you could clean up that announcement. You show the second code as /code\. But there should be no trailing backslash. And now that you know how to edit and maintain those square brackets, you could show it as [code]...[/code]
Thanks! [nobr]

Announcing the availability of enabling Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials' integration of Microsoft online services in environments with multiple domain controllers

In Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2, all of our online services integration features, including Azure Active Directory and Office 365, are supported only in environments that
have a single domain controller. In environments with more than one domain controller, integration of these services is blocked due limitations in the user account and password synchronization mechanism in Windows Server Essentials.
I am happy to announce that with the recent Windows August Update released on (8/12/2014, PST), this limitation has been removed. This update adds support for both Azure
Active Directory integration and Office 365 integration features in domain environments consisting of a single domain controller, multiple domain controllers, or Windows Server Essentials as a domain member server.

Modal window

Hi,
     In my application dynamically create the window component using "popUpmanager" with "non modal" but when i click the button how to change the "modal" window component .
EX:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager
import mx.containers.Window
win = PopUpManager.createPopUp(_root, Window, false,{closeButton:true,title:"welcome"});
win._x=50;
win._y=50;
btn.onPress=function()
    trace("click");
    win.modal = true ;
It is not working...

Hi Indrika,
Sometimes, it may be necessary for developers to create UIX pages which launch other pages. In order to make this easier, UIX provides a client-side Javascript function -- openWindow() -- which developers can call to manage the launching of their new browser windows. This same function is used internally by UIX, and it is located in the oracle.cabo.ui.jsLibs.MarlinCore.js library. This library is already loaded in most UIX pages.
To use the openWindow() function, you will need to pass it a few parameters:
parentWindow: A required parameter which is the existing window which creates the new window. For modal windows, this is the window to which the new window will be modal.
srcURL: Also required, the URL for the contents of the new window.
windowName: Name that identifies the new window for URLs. It is required if a "closeCallback" function is provided.
features: a Javascript Object whose same properties (and their values) will be set on the newly created window.
isModal: a boolean which will cause the window to be modal if set to true.
kind: The type of window to create, either 'document' or 'dialog'. The default is dependent on the value of isModal--'document' for modeless, 'dialog' for modal.
closeCallback: a function which will be called when the newly created window is finally closed.
The function will return a pointer to the new window Object it it was successfully created, or null otherwise.
I hope this function meets your needs.
