Modal Dialog Problem in RC2

WolinDesign · 13 Dec 2010, 19:09

I'm using a modal dialog to show a progress bar. The whole screen goes inactive, including the dialog box.

            <ui:define name="content">

                    <table>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <h:outputText value="Would you like to print the report?" />
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td>
                                <h:commandButton id="cmdBtn" value="Run Report" action="#{reportBean.runReport}"
                                                 onclick="dlg.show();pbAjax.start();" />
                            </td>
                            <td>
                                <p:dialog header="Creating Report" modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
                                    <p:progressBar widgetVar="pbAjax" style="height: 15px"
                                                    ajax="true" value="#{progressBarBean.progress}"/>
                                </p:dialog>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                    </table>
                </h:form>                
            </ui:define>
        </ui:composition>        
    </body>
</html>

The same code works as it should in 2.2-SNAPSHOT. The template is also using <p:layout>, not sure if that is contributing to the issue.

Update:

I tried replacing the 2.2RC2 .jar with the 2.2-SNAPSHOT .jar, only to run into the same problem with the modal dialog. A little further research showed that there was another problem with the dialog when being used inside a <p:layout> tag, like I'm trying to do. I can't move the dialog outside the <h:form> tags as suggested in another thread because I'm using the dialog to display a progress bar, which needs to be inside a form. Also, the appendToBody attribute isn't fixing this problem.

move the dialog outside the layout and the form and create another form inside the dialog
Here is my code:

Code: Select all

            <p:confirmDialog message="Are you sure you want to delete the selected items?" severity="alert" modal="true" widgetVar="deleteConfirm" header="Confirm delete">
                <h:form>
                    <p:commandButton value="Yes Sure" oncomplete="deleteConfirm.hide();" update=":form1:messages" actionListener="#{treeBean.deleteSelectedNodes}"/>
                    <p:commandButton value="No Cancel" onclick="deleteConfirm.hide();"/>
                </h:form>
            </p:confirmDialog>
            <p:layout fullPage="true">
                <p:layoutUnit position="center" >
                    <h:form id="form1">
......

Cheers,

Thanks Tamir, that worked with a slight modification.

I'm using <p:layout> in my main template. In order to use the <p:dialog> I changed the tags on my report page from <ui:composition> to <ui:decorate>, placed the dialog outside the <ui:decorate> tags as you suggested and the modal dialog and ajax progress bar work as expected. Thanks!

Awesome! thanks for the tip with the decorate.
