First - I'm new to PrimeFaces and I'm trying to display a warning dialog on top of another already spawned dialog box.
View code looks like (simplified):
<p:dialog id="userDialog" header="User Account" widgetVar="userDialogView" modal="true" resizable="true" closable="fasle" showHeader="true" height="400" width="880px">
<h:form id="dataDialogForm">
...
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
<p:dialog id="warnDialog" header="Warning!" widgetVar="warnDialog" modal="true" appendTo="#(body)" height="300px" width="600px" resizable="false">
<h:outputText value="You are trying to delete. Do you want to proceed? Yes/No" />
</p:dialog>
and controller for warnDialog to spawn it
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("showDialog('warnDialog')");
warnDialog is getting spawned correctly but displayed under userDialog dialog instead on top of it.
App is using PrimeFaces v6.0
org.primefaces.webapp.PostConstructApplicationEventListener.processEvent Running on PrimeFaces 6.0
Edit:
Tested confirmDialog code (simplified) was like:
<p:dialog id="userDialog" header="User Account" widgetVar="userDialogView" modal="true" resizable="true" closable="fasle" showHeader="true" height="400" width="880px">
<h:form id="dataDialogForm">
...
<p:confirmDialog widgetVar="warnDialog" header="Confirmation" severity="warn" modal="true" resizable="false" position="top,left">
<f:facet name="message">
You are trying to delete. Do you want to proceed?
</f:facet>
<p:commandButton value="Yes" type="button" styleClass="ui-confirmdialog-yes" icon="pi pi-check" />
<p:commandButton value="No" type="button" styleClass="ui-confirmdialog-no" icon="pi pi-times" />
</p:confirmDialog>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
That one wasn't producing blocking overlay over userDialog neither wasn't positioning to the top left of the viewport rather than to the element which triggered confirmDialog.
I have solved my problem by overriding PrimeFaces CSS, which for some reason wasn't handling properly overlaying dialog boxes (compared to vanilla jQuery UI or Bootstrap) in versions 5.x and 6.x.
My solution looks like:
<p:dialog id="userDialog" header="User Account" widgetVar="userDialogView" modal="true" resizable="true" closable="fasle" showHeader="true" height="400" width="880px">
<h:form id="dataDialogForm">
...
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
<p:dialog id="warnDialog" header="Warning!" widgetVar="warnDialog" modal="true" height="300px" width="600px" resizable="false" styleClass="dialogWarn-fix">
<h:outputText value="You are trying to delete. Do you want to proceed? Yes/No" />
</p:dialog>
and CSS for it:
.dialogWarn-fix {
z-index: 9999 !important;
}

i have a problem with the display of a dialog on a click. It's a obvious one but i can't spot the bug. I've been stuck on this for days, it's crazy. Can you help me please.
<h:form id="form">
<p:commandButton
rendered="#{characterBean.characterSession.characterName ne null}"
value="#{characterBean.characterSession.title.titleName}"
icon="fa fa-fw fa-edit" onclick="PF('dlg').show();"
update="#form"/>
<p:dialog id="titleDetail" header="#{i18n['title.yourTitles']}"
widgetVar="dlg" dynamic="true" closable="false" resizable="false"
showEffect="fade" hideEffect="fade">
<h:panelGroup>
<p:messages autoUpdate="true" />
<h:selectOneMenu id="titleSelect" converter="#{titleConverter}"
value="#{characterBean.characterSession.title}">
<f:selectItems value="#{characterBean.titleUnlocked}" var="t"
itemValue="#{t}" itemLabel="#{t.titleName}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<hr />
<h:panelGrid columns="2" style="width: 100%; text-align:center">
<p:commandButton value="#{i18n['general.submit']}"
icon="fa fa-check"
actionListener="#{characterBean.updateCharacterTitle}"
oncomplete="PF('dlg').hide();" update="#form" />
<p:commandButton value="#{i18n['general.cancel']}"
icon="fa fa-close" action="#{characterBean.submitCancel}"
oncomplete="PF('dlg').hide();" update="#form" process="#this" />
</h:panelGrid>
<p:remoteCommand name="updateForm()" process="#this" update="#form" />
</h:panelGroup>
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
The core problem is essentially this:
<h:form>
<p:commandButton onclick="PF('dlg').show();" update="#form"/>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg">
...
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
The default state of <p:dialog> is hidden.
The onclick shows the dialog.
The update updates the entire content of the <h:form>.
The <p:dialog> is also included in the update.
So, the <p:dialog> gets hidden again.
There are several solutions:
Don't let update include the <p:dialog>.
<h:form>
<h:panelGroup id="outsideDialog">
<p:commandButton onclick="PF('dlg').show();" update="outsideDialog"/>
</h:panelGroup>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg">
...
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
Replace onclick by oncomplete as it runs after the update.
<h:form>
<p:commandButton update="#form" oncomplete="PF('dlg').show();" />
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg">
...
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
Move <p:dialog> outside the <h:form> and give it its own <h:form>.
<h:form>
<p:commandButton update="#form :dlg" oncomplete="PF('dlg').show();" />
</h:form>
<p:dialog id="dlg" widgetVar="dlg">
<h:form>
...
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
or, depending on whether you actually need to update the dialog's contents or not
<h:form>
<p:commandButton onclick="PF('dlg').show();" update="#form" />
</h:form>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg">
<h:form>
...
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
The recommended solution is 3.

p:commandbutton action doesn't work inside p:dialog
I have a dialog, when user press the button 'Accept' I want to show a ProgressBar in the same dialog, but this its update when actionListener finish.
<p:dialog id="dlgGenerarLista" modal="true" height="180" width="500" header="Generar Lista de Trabajo" widgetVar="dlgGenerarLista">
<p:commandButton onclick="PF('dlgGenerarLista').hide();" value="Cancel" />
<p:commandButton id="btnAceptarGenerar" value="Accept"
actionListener="#{crearEstrategiaBeans.GenerarListaTrabajo}"
oncomplete="PF('dlgGenerarLista').hide();"update="basic"/>
<p:panel id="basic" widgetVar="basic">
<p:progressBar rendered="#{crearEstrategiaBeans.visibilidadBarraProgreso}" id="progressBarIndeterminate" mode="indeterminate"/>
</p:panel>
</p:dialog>
In the method GenerarListaTrabajo() I say that visibilidadBarraProgreso = "true" , so I want that in that moment it shows the progressBar. The progresBar it show when all the process finish.
Here is working solution for your problem:
<h:form id="form">
<p:commandButton onstart="PF('progressBar').jq.show();" oncomplete="PF('progressBar').jq.hide();" />
<p:progressBar widgetVar="progressBar" style="display: none;" />
</h:form>
Short explanation: With PF('progressBar') you'll get the PrimeFaces JavaScript object for your progressbar. With jq you'll get the jQuery element for the progressbar. Then you can use jQuery methods show and hide.
I have a PrimeFaces dialog, that has two command buttons that executes some code in the backing bean. I want to block the dialog within the action.
I managed to do it using blockUI, but when the blockUI is present, and I open the dialog, it appears at the bottom of the page.
If I remove the blockUI component, the dialog opens at the center of the page, as I want. But I want it to be centered and with the blockUI.
<p:dialog header="Attention" id="dialog" position="center"
widgetVar="dialog" modal="true" closable="false"
dynamic="true" closeOnEscape="false">
<div class="internal-margin-top">
<h:outputText value="Location" styleClass="ui-outputtext" />
<p:inputText value="#{activityBean.location}"
id="inputLocation" maxlength="15">
</p:inputText>
</div>
<div class="internal-margin-bottom">
<p:commandButton id="closureYes" value="Yes"
styleClass="btn-green"
onstart="PF('block').show();"
oncomplete="PF('dialog').hide(); PF('block').hide();"
action="#{activityBean.processItem()}" process="#all">
</p:commandButton>
<p:commandButton id="closureNo" value="No"
styleClass="btn-red"
onstart="PF('block').show();"
oncomplete="PF('dialog').hide(); PF('block').hide();"
action="#{activityBean.processActivity()}" process="#all" />
</div>
</p:dialog>
<p:blockUI block="scrapDialog" widgetVar="block">
<p:graphicImage library="images" name="loading_bar.gif" />
</p:blockUI>
Thanks in advance.
Example with a centered modal dialog:
<p:dialog header="Header" position="center" widgetVar="wv_dialog" modal="true" closable="false" dynamic="true" closeOnEscape="false">
<h:form id="dialogform">
<p:panelGrid columns="1">
<p:inputText value="test"/>
<p:inputText value="test"/>
<p:inputText value="test"/>
<p:inputText value="test"/>
</p:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton id="closebutton"
value="Close"
oncomplete="PF('wv_dialog').hide();"
action="#{testBean.actionTest()}"
process="#form"/>
<p:blockUI block="dialogform" trigger="closebutton"/>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
I have a p:dialog. My intention is to create a list using p:datagrid and when user clicks an item this dialog will open and show its details. Please consider the example of p:datagrid in the showcase. However, currently it works fine in IE but not in Chrome. If I define "modal=true" then the browser turns black but the dialog doesn't show up.
<p:commandButton update=":form:sharePanel" value="Share" style="font-size: 10px" oncomplete="PF('dlg').show()" rendered="false">
<f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{shareController.current}" value="#{status}" />
</p:commandButton>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg" resizable="false" id="sharePanel" styleClass="no-border" modal="true">
<h:outputText value="#{shareController.current.url.url}" />
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<p:dataGrid value="#{shareController.current.url.NLinkList}" var="nshare" columns="1" rendered="#{shareController.current.url.NLinkList.size() > 0}">
<h:panelGroup styleClass="tag noun">
<h:outputText value="#{nshare.noun}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</p:dataGrid>
<p:dataGrid value="#{shareController.current.url.VLinkList}" var="vshare" columns="1" rendered="#{shareController.current.url.VLinkList.size() > 0}">
<h:panelGroup styleClass="tag verb">
<h:outputText value="#{vshare.verb}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</p:dataGrid>
<p:dataGrid value="#{shareController.current.url.PLinkList}" var="pshare" columns="1" rendered="#{shareController.current.url.PLinkList.size() > 0}">
<h:panelGroup styleClass="tag prep">
<h:outputText value="#{pshare.prep}" />
</h:panelGroup>
</p:dataGrid>
</h:panelGrid>
</p:dialog>
What is wrong here?
If you are using Primefaces versions before 4.0 use dlg.show() instead of PF('dlg').show().
And try appending the dialog in body using attribute appendToBody="true", because if the Facelet is more complex and if you are using Layouts the dialog won't fire ind some browsers only model will appear.
<p:dialog appendToBody="true" >
I am trying to move a p:dialog out of a h:form, because I have read that this is the preferred way (however I'd like to understand the reason, because my p:dialog inside a form works well in my application).
The only difficulty is that the dialog title needs to be updated dynamically. The dialog is shown when a button in a p:dataTable is clicked.
Here is my old xhtml (before the changes), that's working fine:
<p:dataTable var="event" value="#{eventBean.lazyModel}" selection="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
...
<p:column headerText="#{msgs.Persons}">
<p:commandButton value="#{msgs.ViewPersons}" update=":viewPersonsForm" oncomplete="viewPersonsDlg.show()">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{event}" target="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<h:form id="viewPersonsForm">
<p:dialog modal="true" widgetVar="viewPersonsDlg" dynamic="true" header="#{eventBean.selectedEvent.name}" >
...
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
And here is the new xhtml, with eventBean#setSelectedEvent() that is not invoked.
<p:dataTable var="event" value="#{eventBean.lazyModel}" selection="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
...
<p:column headerText="#{msgs.Persons}">
<p:commandButton value="#{msgs.ViewPersons}" update=":viewPersonsDlgId" oncomplete="jQuery('#viewPersonsDlgId .ui-dialog-title').text('#{eventBean.selectedEvent.name}');viewPersonsDlg.show()">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{event}" target="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<p:dialog modal="true" id="viewPersonsDlgId" widgetVar="viewPersonsDlg" dynamic="true" >
...
</p:dialog>
So, again, why in the second scenario eventBean#setSelectedEvent() is not invoked? And, if possible, why the first scenario is not optimal?
It is not restricted to use p:dialog inside a h:form since it can work in some cases, but most of the time you will find yourself struggling with some unexpected behaviour with that, here are some explanations :
Why not to place p:dialog inside h:form 1
Why not to place p:dialog inside h:form 2
The problem in your case is that jQuery method in oncomplete is called before the value is set with f:setPropertyActionListener. To avoid this use the same solution as you used in your first case. So :
<p:dataTable var="event" value="#{eventBean.lazyModel}" selection="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
...
<p:column headerText="#{msgs.Persons}">
<p:commandButton value="#{msgs.ViewPersons}" update=":viewPersonsDlgId" oncomplete="viewPersonsDlg.show()">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{event}" target="#{eventBean.selectedEvent}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
<p:dialog modal="true" id="viewPersonsDlgId" widgetVar="viewPersonsDlg" dynamic="true" header="#{eventBean.selectedEvent.name}" >
...
</p:dialog>
No need to use jQuery here.
I had the same problem (pf 3.5):
<p:tabView id="cashFlowTabContainer" style="width:100%" activeIndex="0"
widgetVar="cashFlowTabContainerVar">
<p:tab title="#{labels['cashflow_incoming']}">
<p:outputPanel id="incomingPanel">
<p:dataTable value="#{cashFlowController.incomingCashFlows}"
var="cashFlow">
<p:column headerText="#{labels.cashflow_actions}">
<p:commandButton value="Edit"
action="# {cashFlowController.editIncoming}" update="#form" oncomplete="editInputVar.show();">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{cashFlow}"
target="#{cashFlowController.selectedIncoming}" />
</p:commandButton>
</p:column>
and this was my dialog:
<p:dialog id="editInput" header="Dynamic Dialog"
widgetVar="editInputVar" resizable="false" draggable="false"
modal="true">
<p:panel>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="5">
...
<h:outputText value="#{labels.cashflow_description}:" />
<h:inputText
value="#{cashFlowController.selectedIncoming.description}" />
So... This way the setter was NEVER called. Then I noticed that if I emptied the dialog the setter was called.
So I solved it by putting a "rendered" statement on the panel:
<p:dialog id="editInput" header="Dynamic Dialog"
widgetVar="editInputVar" resizable="false" draggable="false"
modal="true">
<p:panel **rendered="#{cashFlowController.selectedIncoming != null}"**>
<h:panelGrid columns="2" cellpadding="5">
I guess there's a null pointer that is not logged anywhere... anyway this way it works :)
