Skillbuilder Modal Page Close

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
