nuPopup - how to use it

[yvesf]

Hi,

I want to use a function to open a browse and edit form as a popup. I tried nuPopup, but no popup appears regardless of the syntax I use. I found examples with 3 or 4 parameters on the forum, but they don’t work for me.

I have a main document where I’d like to open a popup, select predefined values, and insert them into a WYSIWYG field in the main document.

Is nuPopup the right method? If so, could you provide an example?

Thanks,
Yves

No it's a different question very basic in fact, I cannot even implement nuPopup. It's behind the button on the onclick event (custom code tab) on the main edit form.

Code: Select all

nuPopup('6797ea4743e083a', '', '');

and

FormId.png

No effect
Many thanks for providing me the right syntax and context of use. A small example will help a lot.

The syntax to open a popup window is correct.

Would it be possible to upload a dump of just this form (using the Cloner)?
And also dump the corresponding table (data can be excluded) so I can test it on my end to see if anything is flawed.

Here is the backup.

On fastform
- consultation button
- open a consultation
- behind motif button you have the script with nuPopup
Thx

I installed your database and tested the popup. As you can see, it opens without any problems.

Sorry, I work too much, it was because I have implemented behind onchange event and not onclick event ....after having search around popup blockers and parameters in chrome and other devices tested with open.window.....I am sorry to have taken your time.....
How to open the popup in edit mode to create a new record ?
Thx again for your continuous help. Yves

Pass a 2nd parameter "-1" to nuPopup() to open a new record.

[yvesf]

pops up always the browse form not the edit form.

Code: Select all

nuPopup('6797ea4743e083a','-1','')

I also executed `nuPopup('6797ea4743e083a', '-1', '');` on your database, and it successfully opens a new record in an Edit Form.

How is the code being executed on your end? Can you test it again? I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
