Block UI with global ajax status

vineet · 07 Feb 2012, 07:03

Hi ,
I am using global ajax status in the page with model dialog . But now i upgraded to PF3.2 snapshot to use the block UI for some part of page. But it doesnt work as global ajax status comes up on any processing on that component . Is it possible to use block ui along with global status ?

Using PF3.2 snapshot , Mojarra 2.1.4 , WAS 6.1

Post your code please.

BlockUI is component specific not global, you can attach blockUI to multiple triggers with a comma separated list of "for" values though.

Keep in mind please that some PrimeFaces components and p:ajax have the "global" attribute. Setting "global" to false will not trigger BlockUI. That's true at least for pe:blockUI in PF Extensions project. AFAIK p:blockUI should behave in the same manner.

I will put this in better way :

I have global ajax status on the template which is used across screens . So every time any ajax event is fired on any component , the global status comes up to show the processing in progress which is a modal dialog which disables the entire screen . So basically i am interested to know if i can have the global status coming up only for certain components on page while for some components block UI is displayed while an action is performed on those components ?

In the above code the template has a global status indicator but i want the page which uses the template can show global status on some componet while block ui is displayed on some .

The requirement is to have both global status and block UI on same page . But for components which has block UI defined it should take preference else the global status should be displayed . I dont know if this is possible . So just trying to get opinion .

I'm having a similar issue.

Also , One more issue is :

i have a datatable which updates various components on filter . But now the problem is when i use Block UI , every time an event is fired on datatable like sorting etc then also the block ui comes up which is not required . So this may be a good case when we can pass event name as well when the Block UI should come up .
