Show form on promote

Hi,

Usecase is as follows

need to validate field on promote if case of failure need to popup form(existing) and capture user input.

for validation, i tried with pre server method on lifecycle but popping up form not possible from server method.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Any suggestion/work around would really help

Thanks

Hi ArG,

I see, I think this community blog post is what you're looking for then [emoticon:1435ff2429184e17bc948e4f19178e1e]. It explains how to create a custom modal dialog asking the user for text input as a client method.

Best,
Nithin

Hi ArG,

You wouldn't have access to the form through a lifecycle since a server side method (required) would not be able to communicate with the client (which can call a popup action). You also would not be able to use a client method, as a replacement, since the pre method requires a server method.

However, a workaround solution to this could be using the newError() method that returns a popup containing a string you can specify. This way if the user misses a field for a example, you can display this popup and require the field be completed in order for anything to be applied to the server.

Best,

  Hi Nithin,
  
  Thanks for reply.
  
  I understand that client can't be called from server. but usecase is to show modal dialog to capture user comment. It is not popup actually. correction in question [emoticon:c4563cd7d5574777a71c318021cbbcc8]
  
  I am trying to modify javascript code present for on click of promote button, so that i can show required form based on my validation. Any idea on this ?
