Accessing a modal dialogue without displaying the editor itself

Reply Quote

Hi,

I was trying to access the Insert Image modal dialog without actually displaying the editor itself. In version 2.0, we were able to do something like:

showModalDialog( '/CuteEditor_Files/Insert_image.aspx?UC=en-us&gp=/Uploads/Banners&MaxImageSize=100&Th_W=80&Th_H=80&Th_C=5&Th_R=4&Upload=true', 'ImageManager', 'dialogWidth:550px;dialogHeight:590px;resizable=yes;help=yes;scroll=yes;status=no')

I tried to mimic something like that:

showModalDialog( '/metagame/CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Dialogs/InsertGallery.aspx?settinghash=[[_setting_]]', 'Image Manager', 'status:no; dialogWidth:705px; dialogHeight:630px; scroll:yes; resizable:yes; help:no')

However, I'm stuck at obtaining [[_setting_]]. Is it even possible to access a modal dialog without invoking the editor? I guess that I could try hiding the editor in a <DIV> and seeing if I'm still able to display the modal dialog. However, I'd prefer to avoid having to try this if at all possible.

Hi Fermin,

I think the answer to your question is to use the following code in your BLOCKED SCRIPT

var url=showModalDialog("../CuteSoft_Client/CuteEditor/Dialogs/InsertImage.aspx?settinghash=&<%=Editor1.Setting.GetHashString()%>", "Image Manager","dialogWidth:670px;dialogHeight:650px");

You can instantiate a protected CuteEditor.Editor instance in your page_load event to allow the embedded ASP code to be resolved. However, this still doesn't completely solve the problem, as when you run your javascript function, it gives a "Setting not found" ASP.NET error when trying to open the dialog.

Anyone know the cause of that?
