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

Execute javascript after update and submit in Skillbuilders Modal Page

Hi,
I'm editing, say, list of my employees in a tabular form opened in Skillbuilders Modal Page.
I have to execute same javascript code after the changes in the tabular form have been submitted.
I've tried using a Dynamic Action fired on Page Load, but that gets executed before the update is completed.
Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Thank you for your answers.
Yes, I'm trying to execute javascript code on the child page, the modal one.
Basically, there's a button on my parent page which opens the modal page. The modal page has buttons Cancel, Delete and Save. Clicking Save button submits the changes and if there are errors, errors are shown and we stay on the modal page.
My modal pages are all of fixed dimensions and if there are errors, I have to adjust the other regions (adjust their height, add a scrollbar, etc) in order to show everything in the modal page.
I have written a function that does exactly that, but I have to execute the function after the page is loaded and the regions are shown. But, if I execute it using onload attribute, or setting a dynamic action which fires on page load, the function gets executed during the submit, before the regions are shown.
I hope I have managed to clear up the problem.
As always, thank you.

Open Skillbuilders modal page from report

I want to open the Skillbuilders modal page from within a report. The first column in a report represents the primary key of the table the report shows. What is the best way to do that?
The idea is this: in the report region, there's a button CREATE that opens the modal dialog by Skillbuilders. A user can enter some data, clicks submit, modal dialog closes and report is refreshed. That's working now. Now I want to add a link to the first column in the report, that also opens the modal dialog, passing the value of the primary key of the row the user clicks on.
I'm not that experienced with Javascript, I guess I'll have to create an dynamic action with a jquery selector, and as a true action, a javascript call to open the dialog. Can someone give me a start?
Thanks in advance!

You actually do not need that much javascript in this case. Simply design your column as you would normally do to create a link column.
<ul>
<li>Column Link: Provide a link text</li>
<li>Link Attributes: onclick="return false;" class="show_modal"</li>
<li>Set the target page and provide any items you want filled.</li>
</ul>
onclick="return false;" is to prevent the default behaviour of the anchor tag: navigate to the location specified in the href attribute. We want to open the modal page instead.
Now to have the modal dialog open, create a dynamic action.
<ul>
<li>Event: Click</li>
<li>Selection Type: jQuery Selector</li>
<li>jQuery Selector: .show_modal</li>
<li>Advanced > Event Scope: live (so the links will work after pagination)</li>
</ul>
For the true action, select the SkillBuilders Modal Page plugin, and make sure these are specified as following. This will take the location in the generated link columns and open a modal page for this location.
So, this would open your edit page with the correct id (which you set up in the column link).
</ul>
<li>URL Location: Attribute of Triggering Element</li>
<li>Attribute Name: href</li>
</ul>
If you set it up like this, you have the convenience of the standard column link definitions, no need for any javascript save onclick=false and no need to fill up page items and deal with submission to session state.

Passing this.triggeringElement.id in URL to Skillbuilders Modal Page

Hello,
I have an IR on page 6 and when a user selects a row, I want the unique ID for that row to be passed to a field on page 10 via Dynamic Action on a Skillbuilders Modal Page. I'm able to alert and see the value in this.triggeringElement.id, but when I try and pass it in the URL, it doesn't come through. I've also tried passing values to a field on page 6 that then passes to page 10, application items, etc. I think page 10 is being called before it can grab a value from page 6, but I can't figure out how to pass a value on the fly to the URL. Here is my current URL call:
f?p=&APP_ID.:&PAGE_BRANCH.:&SESSION.:::&PAGE_BRANCH.:P10_ISO_UID_HIDDEN,P10_APPLICATION_ID:&P6_AGENT_ID.,this.triggeringElement.id
i've also tried:
f?p=&APP_ID.:&PAGE_BRANCH.:&SESSION.:::&PAGE_BRANCH.:P10_ISO_UID_HIDDEN,P10_APPLICATION_ID:&P6_AGENT_ID.,&P6_APPLICATION_ID.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Edited by: Johnny98 on May 2, 2012 8:28 PMHi Johnny,
your current URL will only replace the values(PAGE_BRANCH,SESSION..etc) only when the page is being rendered, in order to construct the url after the page is loaded you need to use JavaScript something like
var vurl = 'f?p='+$v('pFlowId')+':'+$v('PAGE_BRANCH')+':'+$v('pInstance')+':::'+$v('PAGE_BRANCH')+':'+P10_ISO_UID_HIDDEN,P10_APPLICATION_ID:'+$v('P6_AGENT_ID')+','+this.triggeringElement.id;
//then use the constructed url in javascript call
redirect(vUrl);Thanks

Your auto-close selector is wrong. You probably copied over the default values, and those do not work on theme 25. The template for your popup page is "Popup".
Looking at the success message subtemplate for the Popup page template:
<div class="apex_grid_container">
<div class="apex_cols apex_span_12">
    <section class="uMessageRegion successMessage clearfix" id="uSuccessMessage">
      <div class="uRegionContent clearfix">
        <a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="apex.jQuery('#uSuccessMessage').remove();" class="uCloseMessage"><span class="visuallyhidden">#CLOSE_NOTIFICATION#</span></a>
        <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#f_spacer.gif" class="uCheckmarkIcon" alt="" />
        <div class="uMessageText">
          <h2 class="visuallyhidden">#SUCCESS_MESSAGE_HEADING#</h2>
          #SUCCESS_MESSAGE#
        </div>
      </div>
    </section>
</div>
</div>Your auto close selector would be
section#uSuccessMessageDon't use .apex_grid_container and also not .apex_cols apex_span_12
These are classes also used for the body and are not reserved to only the success message.
However, your auto close action will not work too. Again, you probably copied over the default values, but it won't match with the page template. There is no #messages container to append to. Again, look at the page template for page 1, success message subtemplate, which is the same code as above.
Not home yet. Since the auto-close selector will only fetch the success message section tag, we can't just insert that in the parent page if there is no div container for it yet. First test for the existance of a success message region, and if not, add the containers. Note that this is very template specific!
Looking at the page template body code:
<div id="uBodyContainer">
#REGION_POSITION_01#
#SUCCESS_MESSAGE##NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE##GLOBAL_NOTIFICATION#
<div id="uOneCol">
<div class="apex_grid_container">
    <div class="apex_cols apex_span_12">
      #BOX_BODY#
    </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>The success message can be inserted before div#uOneCol.
Annoyingly, notice the onclick code of the uCloseMessage link. This will not be copied over, meaning that the success message will be there, looking pretty. Very annoying. So we'll bind for that.
This will go into the auto close execute javascript:
if($('section#uSuccessMessage').length){
   $('section#uSuccessMessage').parent().html(this.data.$modalPageCloseObject)
}else{
   var newContainer = $('<div class="apex_grid_container"><div class="apex_cols apex_span_12"></div></div>');
   newContainer.find('div.apex_cols').html(this.data.$modalPageCloseObject)
   $('div#uOneCol').before(newContainer);
   $('a.uCloseMessage').click(function(){$(#'uSuccessMessage').remove();});
};In the end, i only had to adjust the auto close selector and the auto close javascript code.

Skillbuilders modal page - success message not closing in Internet Explorer

Hello,
I'm using Skillbuilders modal page plugin on Apex 4.1.
The plugin works great in all browsers except in IE, where I'm unable to close the success message by clicking on the "x" in the upper right corner.
I'll explain further.
I have a report on, say, page 10, and I'm editing each row in a modal page (page 11). Upon saving the changes, the modal page closes and a success message is shown on the page 10. I can see the message both in Firefox and IE, however, I am unable to close it in IE.
When I inspect the success message using Firebug in Firefox, I see that I have:
<div id="messages" style="display: block;">
<div id="success-message" class="success">
<img class="remove-message" onclick="$x_Remove('success-message');" alt="" style="float:right;" src="/i/delete.gif">
Action processed.
</div>
</div>However, when I inspect the success message in IE, I see:
<div id="messages">
</div>The success message is shown on the page, but it doesn't show in the page source code, and clicking on the "x" doesn't close it.
I've tried it with several themes, the problem persists.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem here?
Did someone have a similar problem?
Thank you!

I've been looking at it, kind of gutted that indeed the semi-colon means nothing. Was sure that was it, and then didn't bother to test it in the template anymore as it ate so much time already. That should teach me...
Anyway, I was puzzled too. Apparently it has to do with IE8 and jQuery appending code to the document, whether it is .append or .before. The element is there and all, but the onclick just does nothing. Why did it work after editing it? Probably because IE was then able/willing to pick the attribute up.
I've fiddled with it over and over, trying to find something ,googling it, but couldn't really find a certain cause nor fix. Putting in the anchor? Nope. Onclick reacting only on second click? Nope. Just do an alert? Nope. Just nothing works at all. I really just gave up. IE8 is just such a headache that by trying to "fix" it in its ways you're off worse.
In the end I fixed it in another way. My template is different than yours but the technique is the same.
I removed the onclick attribute from the success message region, on both page templates. If it ain't gonna work I don't want it there (good riddance too). I changed the href attribute too by just putting "#" in, which is probably just me being pedantic. This is my result success message template:
<section class="uRegion uWhiteRegion uMessageRegion clearfix" id="uSuccessMessage">
<div class="uRegionContent clearfix">
    <a href="#" class="uCloseMessage"></a>
    <img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#f_spacer.gif" class="uCheckmarkIcon" alt="" />
    <div class="uMessageText">
      #SUCCESS_MESSAGE#
    </div>
</div>
</section>To be able to close it, I added some javascript in the page header:
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).delegate(".uCloseMessage", "click", function(){$(this).closest(".uMessageRegion").remove(); return false;});
</script>This is much in the way of a dynamic action with scope "live". I didn't want to bother with having to put a dynamic action on each page, and is why I did it this way. It works fine in each browser too, so hurray.
Your solution works too of course, it's much the same. I wouldn't call it a "workaround" too, since it didn't work initially anyway. I wouldn't look further and stick with what works best for you. :)

Skillbuilders modal page item references

I have built an application that uses the Skillbuilders modal page - in this page there are two items that have Skillbuilders super lov (2.0.2) plug-in. The Sql statement for the second item, Task, includes a reference to the first item (Project), as :P35_PROJECT. However the lookup doesn't synchronise unless I close the modal page after the project field has been populated, then re-open it; then the synchronisation of the Task field works. Without close/open the Task lov does not synchronise on the Project and returns all values.
Lov sql:
select pt.task_number "Task Number", pt.task_name "Task Name"
FROM PA_TASKS pt, PA_PROJECTS_ALL pja
where pja.project_id=pt.project_id
and pja.segment1=:P35_PROJECT
order by 1
I tried a dynamic action which fired when the value of item 35_PROJECT was changed but this does not work.
Thanks for any assistance, Dave Barber
Edited by: user13515136 on 06-Aug-2012 01:24

Dave,
Go to edit the child item. In the List of Values region, enter the name of the parent item in the Cascading LOV Parent Items field.
Let me know if this works.

Problem closing Skillbuilders modal page when using Login page 101

Trying to setup website with the Login page opening in a modal window instead of normal Apex window.
Have a Global Page (0) which has a Login button defined - that has a dynamic action defined on it
Login Clicked
True

Fire When Event Result is True
Dialog Title: Login
URL Location: Statically Defined
Static URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:101:&APP_SESSION.:::1:::
Auto-close On Element Selector: div#success-message
Created a branch page 102 called Close Modal
Have tried putting the following javascripts into Page 102 and also without - but cannot get the modal window to close out.
Dynamic Action on page 102 Close Modal Window - Event is On Page Load. No condition set
Execute Javascript Code
Fire When Event Result is True
Fire On Page Load - checked
Code:
javascript:parent.$(parent.document).apex_modal_page('close');
Any ideas which might help ?
Thanks - Jonathan

I can't say. I have not successfully tried this in any version of Apex (until just now).
Ignore my suggestions regarding page 0 from earlier.
If the user is on a page in your application and they have an invalid session, when they get that valid session in the login page how are you going to pass along that information to the parent/calling page? This just doesn't seem to be only about the authentication scheme.
A simple test I set up right now has me at page 1. I click a button and I get the login page modal. I login and the modal window displays a logged in version of page 1. But if I manually close that modal window and then refresh page 1 in the main parent window, I am still not logged in. A little further digging and I see it is in part due to the URL and the session id within.
If my URL is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/apex/f?p=18025:1 then this refresh will not work.
If my URL is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/apex/f?p=18025:1:123456 and 123456 is not a valid session then this refresh will not work.
You'd need to follow Jorge's suggestion to use some javascript like top.location.href="&FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL." to set the parent window to use the correct url containing the session id.
You would have to control when that code is placed on a page. I have a working example now at the above URL that uses a dynamic action on page 0.
Event = Page Load
Condition = Page != 101
Action = Execute Javascript Code
JS Code =
if (window.location != window.parent.location)
parent.location.href="&FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL."
So if I am loading page 101 do nothing. If I am loading another page, check if the parent and iframe are different source locations (indicating this is an iframe because even a non-iframe window will have a value for parent.location) and if so then set the parent page location to that of the iframe. In effect the redirect that happens in the modal is transferred to the parent.
This will break any other modal page instances you use though. But you could add them to the condition of the dynamic action on page 0 so you have something like "page not in 101, 1020, etc."
It seems to work but it feels like a hack to me. Perhaps a specific template for the modal window with some version of this javascript would at least keep you from running this script on every page load.

The SkillBuilders Modal Page.. Help me please

I'm new about ORACLE APEX and i wanna use a plugin in my little application but I can't. The Plugin is SkillBuilders Modal Page.
If there is someone who that know using of The SkillBuilders Modal Page please help me. I tried many times and many ways but always same result.
Model page was open but always loading. No data no page. I want to do like this;
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46685:MODAL_PAGE:0
thanks for all.

Hi,
We had the same problem when using APEX 4.1. There are some new security enhancements included which stopped the Popup displaying the page.
Here is how to fix it:
Go to shared components then click on "Security Attributes" in the "Security" section.
Then go down to a new section called "Browser Security"
You then need to change the "Embed in Frames" to "Allow from Same Origin".
This should then allow your popup to load correct.
hope this helps
Thanks

Urgent!! Skillbuilders modal page

Hi,
This is urgent!
Does anyone know how to correctly call the following modal plugin from report column link - just like what the demo shows? I was able to import the plugin into my application but was not able to make it work correctly. I created the dynamic action in the page as the following:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46685:MODAL_PAGE:0:::::
Event: Click
Selection Type: jQuery Selector
jQuery Selector: .flash-modal
Under True Actions:
Action: Skillbuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) [Plug-in]
URL Location: Statically Defined
Static URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.:::1:::
Auto-close On Element Selector: div#success-message
Dialog Height/Width Mode: Static by pixels
The report column link is defined as this: (I replaced all < by ( and > by ) so that it would show the actual link)
select
, '(a class="flash-modal" href="#")Open Page(/a)' end as OPEN_PAGE
from ...
Thanks.
Andy

Dan,
I just reproduced the plugin in apex.oracle.com. You may click on the 'John' link to see the modal. Was it because the way I defined it in the link? I used '(a id="flash-modal" onclick="return false;" href="f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&APP_SESSION.:::1:::")' || "DEMO_CUSTOMERS"."CUST_FIRST_NAME" || '(/a)' as the link. In the plugin settings, I defined 'flash-modal' as a DOM object and 'href' as attribute name.

Skillbuilders Modal Page on IE8 with an IE6 compatible Apex theme

Hi,
We have been using Theme 13 for quite some time now - I'm aware it's not the best theme in the world to use but with the number of application pages we have now it will take a long time to upgrade them to a newer theme.
Recently we implemented the Skillbuilders modal page with more than a little help from Dan McGhan and it looks amazing, using any Apex theme, when using IE9, Chrome, Firefox etc. For some reason, when using IE8, we are experiencing strange behaviour.
The modal box is not showing the Close button and the right and bottom sides are hidden from view inside a parent div. This is a known issue with the jquery ui dialog, but I was hoping someone might have come up with a workaround to make it show correctly.
If you visit [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62488:2:0:::::]this example with IE8 and click on the names, it doesn't display correctly.
Can anyone help? We know switching themes to a non-IE6 compatible one works but I would like to fix this without changing stuff to that extent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards, Pete

Pete,
The page templates for the main page and the modal page are missing DTDs so the browser is running in quirks mode. Try adding the HTML5 DTD as it's the simplest:
<!DOCTYPE html>Note that this may cause other parts of the template to "break". These can be fixed but depending on the severity it may cost a lot of time to fix.

Dan

Skillbuilders modal page plugin query

Hi Guys,
I have downloaded the Skillbuilders modal page plugin and it works very well for 99% of the scenarios that we have encountered.
We have one page which needs a slight modification from the standard functionality with regards the modal plug in..
We have a tabular form which has a field into which we have created our own button (which is used as a link to page 6) with the following syntax:
*<input id="modal" type="button" value="comps" onclick="javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.::NO::P6_JOB_RESP_ID,P6_RESPONSIBILITY_ID:#Comps#,#Responsibility#')" />*
which calls another page within the application and passes in the #Comps# and #Responsibility# values from the current row in the tabular form.
What I am trying to do is to use the modal page plugin within this tabular form functionality so that the new page (page 6) appears as a modal page.
The part that is confusing me is how to pass the #Comps# and #Responsibility# values in the tabular form into the plug in as parameters so that the new page appears modal.
If anyone else has experience using this plugin, any advice would be great.
Chris

Hi Jieri,
The problem is how you are generating the link. You're using substitution string syntax in the link to refer to an item's value. This will work only on page load. You need something more dynamic.
For some reason I was able to log in yesterday but I was short on time. Today I tried and the login failed. Try to do this on your own...
1. Create a hidden item on the page (not protected).
2. Reconfigure the dynamic action to respond to the click event on that hidden item.
3. Reconfigure the plug-in to grab the link using an attribute of the triggering element. The attribute can be something like "data-href".
4. Reconfigure the button to so that clicking the button executes some JavaScript that does two things:
a) Sets the data-href attribute of the hidden element to the correct value for the link
b) Triggers the click event on the hidden element

SkillBuilders Modal Page is not working in Apex 4.2

Hi All,
I am trying to set up an example in apex.oracle.com of an application developed in Apex 4.1 and the SkillBuilders Modal Page plug-in is not working.
To show this situation, I created a simplified version of the application, with only two pages, in apex.oracle.com.
Workspace: EDIAZJORGE
Username: TEST
Password: test123
Application: 66464 - Modal Page Sample
When Page 3 loads, a Dynamic Action is executed to open Page 2 (Interactive Report) as a modal page, but it is not working (the modal page does not open).
Please notice that this is working in Apex 4.1, and the Embed in Frames property in my application is set to Allow.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Erick

Bump!

Erick,
This is due to a change that was made to the Dynamic Actions framework in 4.2. The workaround for now is to change your event to resource load on the DOM window object.
It's working now. In the next release of the plug-in you'll be able to go back to the Page Load (ready) event.
Regards,
Dan

SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) in APEX 4.0.2.00.07 Help

version 4.0.2.00.07
Hello,
I'm trying to use the SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) in APEX 4.0.2.00.07.
I have a link set up in a query:
SELECT
      ,CASE WHEN ft.feature_id IN (SELECT cc.feature_id
                                   FROM customer_commitments cc
                                   WHERE ft.feature_id = cc.feature_id
                                  ) THEN DECODE(:REQUEST, 'CSV', 'Yes', '<a class=feature_commitments *href*=f?p=&APP_ID.:81:&SESSION.::NO::P81_FEAT_NUM_DESC_SRCH:'||ft.feature_id||'><font color="blue"><u>Yes</u></font></a>')
                                    ELSE 'No'
       END "Commitment_Exists"
FROM feature ft
....The receiving page, 81, contains an Interactive Report with the Page Template set to "Popup".
The calling page, 80, has a Dynamic Action:
When -> Event: Click
When -> Selection Type: jQuery Selector -> a.feature_commitments
When -> Condition: No Condition
In the TRUE Actions section:
Identification -> Action -> SkillBuilders Modal Page (2.0.0) [Plug-In]
Execution Options -> Fire When Event Result Is -> True
Settings -> URL Location -> Attribute of Triggering Element
Settings -> Attribute Name -> href
Settings -> Auto-close On Element Selector -> div#success-message
Settings -> Dialog Height/Width Mode -> Auto
Settings -> Modal Page ID -> NULL
When I click the link for the "Commitment Exists" on the report the modal window does not display. The report on page 81 displays like a normal link would branch to.
Can someone help me with getting this plug-in set up?
Thanks,
Joe

Dan,
I've created an application on oracle.com.
Workspace: joer
Username: dev
Password: dev1
Application ID: 64061
Page 2 contains 2 records. One record is set with a value of 'Yes' and is a hyperlink to go to page 3 which is the pop-up.
When I tested I received an error in the modal that "Content cannot be displayed".
The hyperlink is embedded in the SQL for the report on page 2.
I left all the values of the plug-in set to their defaults.
I hope I've provided everything.
Please let me know if I haven't.
Thanks,
Joe
