Opening Popups within an ACTION
Question

Hi OS,

I have tried a couple of examples to get something like this to work, but cannot fathom how to open a popup_editor from within an ACTION.
I really wanted to perform (some quite substancial) checking before I had to open the (popup) control - if I required it... But the only solution I could find was the WIDGET_CLICK() function, but this is no longer available within version 8.0.1.16.

Can anybody offer a real, working solution please?

Do what you normally would do to make the popup link, then set a style on the link with "display: none;". Do NOT set "Visible" = False, that will stop the link from existing at all.

In your Action, call Widget_Click and point it to the invisible link that triggers the popup.

It is built into RichWidgets, you should not need to have downloaded anything for the Forge to get it.

Would there be reason I would not be able to find it within a search?
Are RichWidgets not included into a project as standard?
- because I could not locate Widget_Click through the search function...perhaps I just didnt have that particular element included within my project?
Either way, its sorted now. Thanks.

RichWidgets is included, but not all functions from it. You need to Add/Remove references to get it.
