Navigating from a Modal?

[David Szego]

Hi all,

The Modal example in the TW5 web page shows a nested Modal being opened. It does this by transcluding "SampleWizard", which includes the button:

<$button message="tm-modal" param="SampleWizard2">nest wizards</$button>

This tells me that buttons and messages work in Modals, but I'm having trouble with tm-navigate.

What I'd like to do is fire a tm-navigate message, or an action-navigation event, in order to have a Modal with a button that lets me open a Tiddler.

However, this doesn't work when shown in a Modal:

<$button message="tm-navigate" navigateTo="SomeTiddler" >Open</$button>

nor does a

<$button><$action-navigate...>

combination.

So, is there a way to place a button in a Modal, which opens a new Tiddler in the Story?

(I'm guessing the Modal is outside the story...)

Thanks!
- David.

Hi David,

You could simply use a plain link instead of a button... or maybe a link styled as a button if it should look like one.

Best wishes,

Tobias.

David, I use a fake modal in #tw-admin based on pure css. I call it fake because I have never used the real modal so I must assume I have made it in another way.

It should be possible to put a button into this modal without any problems.

The tm-navigate message is handled by the <$navigator> widget, which isn’t included in the modal by default.

The workaround is to include an explicit navigator widget in your modal:

<$navigator story="$:/StoryList" history="$:/HistoryList”>

…modal stuff…

</$navigator>

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the whole string ( <$navigator story=... </$navigator> ) renders as text wherever I use it!

Hi David

Sorry, one of the double quotes got mangled by my email client. Try this:

<$navigator story="$:/StoryList" history="$:/HistoryList">

...
</$navigator>

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thanks, Jeremy. I caught that, but still can't fire a button with a message within a navigator widget, in a modal. However, <$link> works (within a nav widget), so I've styled it and used that. You may want to look into it as a bug(?)

Cheers,
David.
