I have been playing with this new functionality (VERY professional looking and slick), and have linked my columns to the EDITTING layout, with a target of MODAL. The modal windows opens, and I can see the form and make alterations, but there is no toolbar in the window so I cant actually save any of the changes

I was hoping the modal functionality could be used on other, bigger forms to add new records to FK fields, but without a save its gonna be a little tricky.

Is there a secret to this, I cant see how I am doing anything wrong as its so simple

vlemos Online Elite Member Posts: 295 Thank you received: 41 Karma: 21	Hello Morgan A quick and dirty way to solve this issue is to open the form in a normal window and copy the generated tool-bar code "via FireBug". Then paste it into your modal form at the top or bottom. Once done the modal form shows the correct save and cancel buttons where you need them. This should work until a more elegant solution can be submitted. Regards vlemos

neoneper Offline Junior Member Posts: 35 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 0	Hello. I wonder if a solution has been implemented for this problem or is it still necessary to use the copy and paste source code through Firebug? I am also needing the toolbar in modal form and using the properties of the generator I'm not getting.

No, still not available.
I am not ready for next upgrade.

I am gonna fix some of the last recent issues before. And also, I work on some tests.

The ticket is still open.

@neoneper, did you tried :
Modal Form layout in BACKend ?

It is not working, in facts.

Also I noticed since a long time, a pagination problem on 1.6 version in front (rendered twice)

This upgrade is long to come because I am digging for the best way of doing, and also wich will stay compatible with future FoF standards.
So, the HTML rendering is gonna be all rewrited. (maybe you will get upgrade before this point)

But soon nice upgrade will be a new standard, strong and simple HTML rendering with JLayouts, or FoF (later, but the standards will be respected)
It is huge work, but so important.
(Retro/Further - compatibilities)

Well, for modals (this ticket and few others), I can eventually prossess an upgrade today or tomorrow.

Coding is now a piece of cake

Hello Admin

This is great, thanks for this update. At this point, the only issue which defeats using modal forms for updating records in the j-cook framework is the fact that the records become permanently locked if the user clicks the mask or close-button.

I am sure that the subscribers to this thread will encounter this same issue when they begin to use modals in their designs. This issue is only detected in a multi-user environment since a locked record opens for the user who originally locked it; it is the other users who will find it inaccessible.

Check-in issue using modal forms:
Are you planning to address this problem in the near future to make modal forms a real option for updating records on the j-cook platform?

Regards
vlemos
