i got a form and i want to show it as window dialog and able to submit it via dialog
how i do that? what module i need?
also, how can i make that i get unique class for each form element?
The Popups module is awesome for this.
You can easily target a page (with your form), and it puts the content of the page in the popup. It opens it similarly to a lightbox, but it does not open a new browser window.
Drupal has a module for modals.
As for the unique class names in your form, this article may be helpful.

I have form in getcmsfields_forpopup for backend(admin panel) in silverstrip. In that form, I have added nested dataobjectmanager field to enter multiple dates(has_many relation). When main form open in popup window and I click on add date link, then second popup form open in the same window not in separate one. That means after entering date data and saving it, when I click on close button, whole form is closed rather going back to main form. Please help in this regard.
This can't be done using SilverStripe's default popup form unless, maybe, you extended the DataObject Manager field and had it render itself in an iFrame.
The best option would be to manage your parent DataObjects with DataObjectManger as well. DataObjectManager supports nested DataObjectManager fields. See this tutorial "Nested DataObjectManager" (on YouTube).
If you're able, can I suggest that you try out SilverStripe 3.0? The support for this kind of thing is much better in SilverStripe 3.0 than it is in 2.4.
I'm developing an app which works more or less like the Notes app. When user click the + button a modal window with TextEdits is to be slided up，just like the Notes app did. However I was unable to locate any resource mentioning this kind of thing. Any clues?
I think you are looking for the QML Sheet element. You will need to implement the TextEdit part yourself.
When a user clicks a button, I need a separate browser window to popup. How can I set the modal property of the application? (ie, when a popup window opens, the main application is disabled until that popup is closed ... I need to use a browser window rather than a popup window, but can't figure out how to disable the main application)
PopUpManager.createPopUp (this, navigateToURL( url, "http://www.google.com" ) , true );
thanks!

Ok, my modal dialog looks like so:
cg = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, ChoiceGrid, true) as ChoiceGrid;
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(cg);
But, what I would do instead of what you're asking, is embed an IFrame in the modal popup. This is exactly what we're doing in our app to collect CC data (well, not the popup part, just the IFrame bit. http://code.google.com/p/flex-iframe/
This way, you have the standard modal dialog you're looking for, AND an internally managed 'view' out to your checkout server. Something like this:
<code:IFrame id="iFrameWithJSfunctions"
src="{checkoutURL}" />
The flex-iframe is pretty easy to work with, for the most part. You shouldn't have many problems with it.

I'm not sure you need a PopUp to do this.
Why don't you simply do:
navigateToURL(urlRequest,"_blank");
instead?
You should think of a Flex App as a self contained entity. The PopUpManager is designed to create Windows (Panels / any UIComponent) that reside over another component inside the SWF. It does not create items that pop up out of the SWF or in new browser windows.
navigateToURL could be used to create a HTML pop-up from your Flex application. However, there is very little--if any--communication between the SWF and the browser pop up. And there is no way to make a modal pop-up.
You might investigate performing an ExternalInterface call and creating your new pop up in JavaScript. Here is an article about creating modal windows in JavaScript. Before going too far down that road, I would think carefully about your requirements. How would feel if one browser window popped open another browser window and prevented you from doing any browsing until you addressed the issues in that window. Or to put it another way, how would you feel if Microsoft Word opened a word document and wouldn't let you edit any other document until you shut down the first one? I'd be pretty upset.
Modal application dialogs are one thing. And the PopUpManager allows you to create those. I would consider Model application windows a bad UI decision.
I have a website developed using Drupal. What I want is to create a link which launches a modal window with a custom content create form, then when the form submits and the child window closes, a view or a display of a view in the parent must be refreshed.
I have tried using an excellent module like automodal and ajax_views_refresh but I can't get to set it right.
Any clues?
Figured out how to do this not so long ago, and while looking for a method to Preview content from the Modal Frame, came across your post. Hope this isn't to late to help.
Open parent.js under modules/modalframe/js
and insert location.reload(); around line 250 within this if statement:
if ($.isFunction(self.options.onSubmit)) {
self.options.onSubmit(args, statusMessages);
}
Now, when you click "Save" the child window closes and triggers a parent page refresh.
I'm trying to launch a popup window from Flex, but the popup window needs to have certain properties as one can usually specify with the JavaScript window.open. For example, the popup window should not have a browser toolbar or URL box.
I've tried using navigateToURL, which works fine, but I can't find a way to specify the popup window properties.
I've tried using ExternalInterface.call, but the popup gets blocked when calling window.open directly, or even creating a custom JS function that calls window.open.
Help!
Thanks!
I don't think it's even possible to disable the browser toolbar or URL box in a lot of browsers (I certainly do not allow it on any of the browsers I use).
If you're using navigateToURL, why can't the page you're opening run the JS to try to disable the toolbar and URL? I think you can also attach attributes to the URL if you wanted to send properties over.
You can use PopUpManager class of Flex for creating custom pop up box.
This example may help you. Custom PopUp
Check out AndrewT's blog about checking for popup blockers.
If not blocked, then use ExternalInterface; otherwise use the flex popup.
Detecting Popup Blockers
Or better yet, use SWFAddress v2.3 (javascript and AS3) modules. The AS3 has SWFAddress::popup() facade that proxies the poup call to the javascript. You can modify the SWFAdress.js popup function to use Andrew's logic and return a status. This would be a best practice: leveraging superlative SWFAddress library from flex for deeplinking, google analytics, and popups.
