OutSystems UI Patterns

Hi,

I'm working on using the modal for some feedback on pages.
however, when a user clicks outside the modal, the modal closes itself.
In the code I see in the init it toggles the modal, but that is not something you always want.
So I like to have this as a parameter, preventing the modal from closing :)

furthermore I would love to see, instead of toggleModal() also extra function to explicilty open tye modal if not already open, or close it when it's not closed.
Because in my case, I want open/close the modal via jquery.

(basically I'm trying not to have the modalDialog of jqueryUI :) )

Hello Sunny,

Those suggestions were added to our backlog to further analysis and prioritization.
However, as a workaround you can copy the pattern to your application and change it to your needs.

HI @Samuel,

Can u tell me how i can copy the pattern for Modal Popup in Silk UI ?

Also if i copy the pattern and change according to my way, does the newer versions will have any impact on my copied pattern , will it override the older thing when i upgrdade to newer vesion of Outsystems ?

If I copy paste and modify the JS code, it's not working the way I wanted.

my requirement is, I don't want user to close popup upon clicking outside of the modal box. Basically I want to unbind click event of 'ModalBackground' window.

Quick response appreciable!

I am trying to achieve the same thing in version 9.1.603.0. Is there a solution to this. I'm having having to force a save every time a change is made in the modal in case the user clicks outside of it which is not ideal.

I have tried copying the modal from SilkUIFramework into a new Espace I have created called SilkUIChanges. I also copied the ToggleModal action and the Private/SilkUI but I still can't get this to work.

I get a javascript error when I try to click a button on the page to toggle the modal.

I've changed back to the original modal for now but this is not ideal.

This is a massive issue for me.
