Close a blank application when it shows as a modal window

dear SC Forum,

does anyone here know how to close a blank application when it shows as a modal?
AFAIK, blank application is a pure php file.
i only need a single link or button which i can click to close the modal and back to the previous application.

simply like that, but i don’t have any idea. i’ve searched such this article here, but now can not be accessed (perhaps my internet trouble).
here the code i found so far from this forum

echo "<a href='#' onclick="parent.location='../app/app.php'" >Close</a>";

error…doesn’t work properly.
i tried this also…only works when the blank application is open in another windows (not a modal).

echo( "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.close(); return false\">Close</a>")

any idea?

I’m not sure, but afaik you can use macro’s. I would start with sc_exit. See helpdocumentation for that.

#3

i only have 1 even in a blank application, that’s onExecute.
if i use sc_exit(ref) in this event, should it be an auto close if it works? not a link or button which i can click to close the modal window?

Hello,

Isn’t the issue happening because you used double quotes instead of single quotes?

echo “<a href=’#’ onclick='parent.location=’…/app/app.php’” >Close</a>";

hi bartho :slight_smile:

i’ve tried with single and double quotes. basically, i need to know how to close the blank application and back to the previous application when blank application shows as a modal. just like other applications when it shows as a modal, they have button or link to close them.

the blank application has only 1 event, onExecute. i searched through this forum and google, it’s hard to find a simple example about this.

would you give me a simple script or clue what should i do just to close the blank application and back to the previous grid or form? the blank application remains on top once it shows.

yes bernhard.

i tried in the very beginning of the code like this below:


sc_exit();
//then the rest of code below

or like this:


//the code above
sc_exit();

i put the sc_exit() in the onExecute event.

both of them doesn’t work. the blank application is working properly as a modal without the way to close unless i click other menu to load other application.

#13

Hi,
did you try something like: echo “<a href=’…/form_sprecher_score/form_sprecher_score.php’ target=’_parent’>Return</a>”;

Or if you don’t need a user confirmation a simple sc_redir(yourform,"_parent") will do it.

It works for me.

thanks jsbinca.
i interest with sc_redir solution. would you mind if you give me 1 or 2 lines of example using sc_redir?
should i use in echo "sc_redir or just simply type sc_redir?
sc_redir will not give you a button or link for clickable to close the modal window.

do you mean sc_redir with <a href solution ?

#15

if you get a response from support, please put it here in this forum is good to know that do for that.

#16

yes alvagar :slight_smile:

i already get 1 respon as solution.
still trying out now and will post here once it works propely closing the modal window

#17

Hi ivanpc,
it depends on your needs. When I want the user to actively close the window I put a link at the end of the page:

echo “<a href=’…/form_score2/form_scores.php’ target=’_parent’>Click here to return</a>”; //(of course with a little formatting or image)

In case I don’t need the user to interact, I just put a simple redirect to the parent at the end of the script.

sc_redir(form_scores,"_parent");

That’s it

idea for closing blank app as a modal

hi guys,

i got this from SC support. it’s a good idea. here is the code i get from SC support:


?>

<script>
	
	function voltar()
	{
		window.parent.back()
	}
</script>	

<center><input type = "button" name = "btn_return" value = "Return" onClick = 'Javascript:voltar();'></center>

<?php

but it doesn’t work. it shows the button, but it doesn’t close the window.

#19

I’ve been patiently waiting for this solution. Looks like you might need the code from the voltar function to create a javascript method, which is being called in the sample code you gave. How did support send you this half-working solution? Contact them through the same channels and see if they can give you the javascript method code. I NEED this too :slight_smile:

#20

give up guys…
i think for this moment, it is impossible for us to close a blank app when it shows as modal.
no solution from the tech support, unless suggesting me to open in a new window (this works…i tried many times before i searched about this).

that’s the official reply. so i better stay, waiting for the next update, perhaps SC will add some feature about “closing a blank app when it shows as a modal”.
