Dojo content pane and ssjs - xpages

I have a content pane that I'm loading with some dynamic content - a few fields and a button. When clicking the button, no ssjs executes. For simplicity I'm just setting a sessionScope variable and it's not getting set. If I make the pane content static then ssjs fires fine.
So the question is SHOULD a button that executes ssjs work if it is loaded dynamically into a dojo content pane?
This app is NOT using ExtLib.

I'm pretty sure this won't work because the dijit.layout.ContentPane won't load scripts. You should use a dojox.layout.ContentPane and set the property 'executeScript' to true. Then it should load and fire all actions correctly.

Open an XPage from the Application Layout Banner

I'm using the Application Layout control and have set up a basicLeafNode within the bannerUtility links. I wanted to open another XPage (MeineAnmeldung.xsp) whenever that link 'Meine Anmeldungen' is clicked.
<bx:this.bannerUtilityLinks>
<xe:basicLeafNode
label="Meine Anmeldungen">
<xe:this.rendered><![CDATA[#{javascript:context.getUser().getRoles().contains('[CreateAnmeldung]')}]]></xe:this.rendered>
<xe:this.onClick><![CDATA[#{javascript:context.redirectToPage("MeineAnmeldungen.xsp")}]]></xe:this.onClick>
</xe:basicLeafNode>
but, as I have discovered, the onCLick event on the basicLeafNode is strictly CSJS, which I assume is the reason why I'm having issues.
Am I trying to do this at the wrong place? To be honest, I don't understand the difference between all these different bars at the top: Placebar, Search Bar, Title Bar, mastHeader. No idea which does what, and I'm trying to have a very simple UI without any clutter.
Or is there a way to redirect using CCJS? Perhaps by recalculating an URL, which I also am not sure about how to calculate.
Use a pageTreeNode instead. Here's an example:
<xe:this.bannerUtilityLinks>
<xe:pageTreeNode label="Meine Anmeldungen" page="/MeineAnmeldungen.xsp.xsp"></xe:pageTreeNode>
</xe:this.bannerUtilityLinks>
You can redirect via CSJS using location.href=.... CSJS is all the onClick event of the basicLeafNode can do.
The Application Layout control itself has an onItemClick event on the Events tab. That will allow you to trigger SSJS and use context.getSubmittedValue() to check the submitValue property (you'll need to add that) for the basicLeafNode.
See TitleBar tabs in ApplicationLayout control (extlib) generating invalid code

Displaying Extension Library Dialog box when page loads?

Is there any way to display an extension pages dialog box when my page loads?
Add a <xp:scriptBlock /> with the following client-side code as its value:
XSP.addOnLoad(function(){XSP.openDialog("#{id:dlgMessage}");});
...just be sure to place the component outside any refresh targets, or it will launch the dialog again after every partial refresh event with a target that includes it.
Try adding a dojo.addOnLoad() (in a xp:scriptblock) that displays the dialog using CSJS: XSP.openDialog()
Bruce,
You could use jQuery to 'push' the button on page load.
Try putting this clientside js code in your onClientLoad event
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a.btn').trigger('click');
});
You will have to load jQuery to use this if you don't already have it loaded. You might also be able to do the same thing with dojo.
EDIT: You might have to modify the selector (the tag and class in the parens line 2) above if not using bootstrap. I would give it a unique class so as not to 'push' any other buttons at the same time.

Pagination inside bootstrap modal window

I am using the bootstrap modal window as data picker. But when having more results to pick displaying pagination. I want to load the next pages inside the same modal window when clicking on the pagination.
Can I do it in generic way like when any link clicked inside a modal window to load the content inside the same modal window, or do I need to implement this for each link separately using AJAX feature?
Please refer this three links: There will help you for sure.
Reference-1
Reference-2
Reference-3
You could change $('modal-body').html() on click.
The modal shows/hide without changing or reloading content. So you will have to restore the original content on hide maybe.
Use $('#myModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {} to restore your original content.

Dynamic Content Control in Extlib flips out after rebuild

I have an issue with the dynamic content control in ExtLib. Every time I compile my xpage the dynamic content control flips out if I do not reload the page. I need a way to control this, like an onerror event on the control.
this is wahat's happening
I open my webpage, the dynamic content control works fine
I do some changes to my xpages and build (webpage still open)
I click a link on my webpage to reload the content in the dynamic content control.
the webpage flips out and starts to reload constantly using a partial refresh url.
I use various ways to update this control. sometimes it is through a csjs link and somtimes it is per interval using XSP.partialRefreshGet() so I guess I need a way to know if the dynamic content control is available before calling it, or let the control notify me somehow that is is not available
any idea?
Thanks
Thomas
When you change an XPage you must do a manual full reload of that page in any browser. Executing any call from the stale page will not work.

XPages templating dialog boxes

I am currently on a project redesigning an existing traditional domino web application to XPages. This application contains a web form with quite a lot of helper dialog boxes. Also notifications and validation and confirmation is done through dialogboxes.
I know I can create a custom control for each dialog box and add it to the Xpage and call the show. I even managed to load it dynamically using a dynamic content control with a facet for each dialog. Since the dialog cc contains a show() in the onClientLoad. It is easy to open a dialog by switching the content of the dynamic content control.
Still, adding all these custom controls to my XPages feels inefficient and really clutters the design tab. What's your take?
I would prefer setting the content of the dialog dynamically (Like in traditional domino you would define a form for each dialog). Is that possible?
If not is it possible to load a custom control dynamically (Like using a computed subform)?
Also for confirmation boxes I need the OK button to execute different code for each confirm. What would be the best way to implement that? Add custom parameter "functionOnOk" to the "dlgConfirm" custom control and evaluate that in the submit button?
PS: I am still using panels with dojoType=dijit.DialogBox, but will change those to extlib dialog boxes. For the confirm and messageboxes I am now using client side dijit.Dialogs with mark-up in code, but I would like the markup in XPages as well.
I know there are issues with panels with dijit.Dialog, because Dojo moves the dialog in the DOM, which prevents any SSJS in the dialog running. I don't know if that's also an issue with dijit.DialogBox, but I suspect it could be. Jeremy Hodge did some code to workaround that.
However, I would strongly recommend using the Extension Library control. Client-side dijit.Dialogs are likely to be much more difficult to code and will not allow any SSJS interaction. I'm not aware of any Dojo properties not available in the Extension Library control, and the Extension Library control also allows you to open or close the dialog both in CSJS or SSJS. It also allows you to specify an area to refresh on close.
In terms of the properties, preload is there purely to speed up showing. Are you using the refreshOnShow property? This ensures the URL or content is refreshed each time the dialog is shown. The Extension Library chapter on dialogs has a table covering all the properties. You can set the URL to point to another XPage or another web page. This may allow you to use the Dynamic Content control to pass parameters to switch the content that should appear.
In terms of the code behind the OK button, if you use the Extension Library dialog, you have all the functionality you would have outside the dialog.
