Details Page Popup

[ahollander]

I have a report generated from the detail fields and would like this report to open in a popup window. Can I change the javascript that is pasted in the webpage:

Click here to load this Caspio Bridge DataPage.

Changing the Caspio embed code will not allow you to make a popup window. All that code does is render the page you have created using the wizard

UPDATE 

Caspio's Online Help Center has a generator that will help to create Link Menus and Pop-up Windows. Here is the documentation: https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/common-customizations/how-to-generate-link-menus-and-popup-windows/

Hi  @ahollander

You can try to use the code below, just create an HTML block in your DataPage, click on 'Source' and paste the code below.

 

<!-- Just Update the Deployed URL to in this code to the Deployed URL of your DataPage, and you can also adjust the height and width of this pop up. Just update the number -->

<a  href="javascript:void(window.open('
https://c5eib829.caspio.com/dp/d90b60006f822a89840c4a60b477', 'Additional Images', 'width=700px,height=850px'));"> Click here </a>

I hope this helps.

Hello Everybody, Just wanted to add that Caspio has a new article for this specific workflow using Modals instead. You may check it out here. https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/advanced-customizations/open-details-datapages-in-a-lightbox/

I have tried all of the solutions presented.

The situation:

• I need to have the user click on a button to add a new entry in a pop-up window.
• I am not a HTML/JAVA profficient person. I am learning to read it.

What I have tried:

• I implemented the code example above. So far it has given me the closest results to what I need.
• I tried https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/how-to-generate-link-menus-and-popup-windows/ but that only opens up a whole webpage in modal mode
• I looked at and compared https://howto.caspio.com/tech-tips-and-articles/open-details-datapages-in-a-lightbox/ to the code above. They were the same.
• I created a Detail page and hooked it up and the button worked as designed.

What works:

• I have been able to get the modal to popup.
• The datapage I am using is a submission page.
• The "Add" page adds the record and it is displayed in the Reports page in the background.

The problem:

• Apparently Submission (Add) pages are not supported.
• When the popup button is closed, control and focus is not returned to the parent page.
• If I "kill" the window, control is returned to the parent.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or a work-around? Or another solution?

OK... I am back to working on this.

I have taken the code from TsiBiRU  and edited it to pass a key:  

Now the problem I'm having is that my Submission page (the popup) cannot find the passed variable (FoodID). I have tried [@FoodID], [FoodID], and [@cbFoodID].

What am I missing?  I know it has to be something simple. Right?

<a  href="javascript:void(window.open('
https://c1hcr495.caspio.com/dp/66ceb000066a02a9c050467b9131', '?FoodID=[@field:FoodID#]', 'Add to Diary', 'width=600px,height=400px'));">Add to Diary</a>

Hi @Lynda, 

May I know the value of the FoodID? If the value reaches greater than 999, it will now have a comma separator. For example, it will results to 1,000 instead of 1000. You may try to remove the # in the parameter field  - [@field:FoodID]

 

Hope this helps!

Hello - If you have a modal and Form Elements that are not showing such as AutoComplete, Dropdowns, and Date Pickers, you can use a custom CSS to show these elements in front of the modal.

Insert this code in the Header of the DataPage.

<style>

.modal-backdrop{
z-index:4 !important;
}
.modal {
z-index: 5 !important;
}
.header-navbar{
z-index: 3 !important;
}

</style>
