Opening a Dialog
view codeOpening a static Dialog
The layout of the Dialog is fully described by the referenced HTML template: either the default "#dialog_generic" of a specific one.
You can fully customize the rendering with CSS; the default styles are provided by static/frontend_forms/css/frontend_forms.css
dialog1 = new Dialog({ dialog_selector: '#dialog_generic', html: '<h1>Static content goes here ...</h1>', width: '600px', min_height: '200px', title: '<i class="fa fa-calculator"></i> Select an object ...', footer_text: 'testing dialog ...', enable_trace: true }); dialog1.open()
A simple static Dialog
Opening a dynamic Dialog
In most cases, you will rather produce the dialog content dynamically.
To obtain that, just add an "url" option to the Djalog constructor, and it will be automatically used to obtain the Dialog content from the server via an Ajax call.
dialog1 = new Dialog({ ... url: "/samples/simple-content", ...
Sometimes it is convenient to reuse the very same single view to render either a modal dialog, or a standalone HTML page.
This can be easily accomplished providing:
- an "inner" template which renders the content
- an "outer" container template which renders the full page, then includes the "inner" template
- in the view, detect the call context and render one or another
def simple_content2(request): # Either render only the modal content, or a full standalone page if request.is_ajax(): template_name = 'frontend/includes/simple_content2_inner.html' else: template_name = 'frontend/includes/simple_content2.html' return render(request, template_name, { })
here, the "inner" template provides the content:
<div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-4"> <p>Rem nisi nobis ad officia ratione temporibus ipsa beatae eos placeat.</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <p>Accusamus molestiae ipsam corrupti assumenda aut sunt? Vel vitae animi quos autem, debitis aliquid ratione sit autem aspernatur nobis quam saepe dolor deleniti facere, eum expedita officiis perferendis reprehenderit animi distinctio assumenda, eum similique optio, laboriosam nam minima accusantium praesentium? Sit quas tenetur accusantium deserunt nam voluptatibus perferendis omnis veritatis porro?</p> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <p>Sequi illo quibusdam eligendi esse sapiente rem nemo maxime aut, cum neque eaque doloribus ab. Accusamus consequatur nam facilis sapiente voluptates, autem aperiam asperiores quaerat cupiditate soluta rerum reprehenderit corrupti blanditiis, in magni ullam alias earum est dolor numquam ratione.</p> </div> </div>
while the "outer" one renders the full page:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load static staticfiles i18n %}
{% block content %}
{% include 'frontend/includes/simple_content2_inner.html' %}
{% endblock content %}
