Open a site as a pop up??

[ADT]

I was wondering if there was a way to open a site as a window and not make it go full screen?

Just busy replacing our old bullying Frog 3 Form... with a nice shiny new Froglearn form!!  I had our old form opening as a pop up window....  and was hoping I could do something similar with this form!!

No doubt it'll involve a HTML brick...

Thanks in advance!!

I think this would help with navigation too as users still click the back button in the browser.

Really thought someone would have been all over this by now....

@adamw or @Simon Law - is this possible?   I know there's a command to determine how an app launches, but is it possible to control if a site opens maximized?

Cough....  I really need to get something for this throat!!!

This will open a site if you have the data link and the uuid. if you only have uuid you can use an api to get the data link,

FrogOS.openSite({
  site: datalink,
  assignment_uuid: uuid
});

You could run this off a button click or otherwise.

Only problem is the site opens maximised, but i'm guessing there is another parameter so that it doesn't do this?

I thought this was going to be another conkie special....  till I got to the last bit!!!

I was after a way to open a site not maximised.... lol!!  But no doubt someone else might be able to use that code!!

[ADT]

Bump.....  did any one ever come up with a fix for this???  Even @Graham Quince didn't get a response!!! 

[gbligh]

This would be very useful

Right,

Sorry about the delay in responding, super busy here at the moment (as always!). 

You could try something like this:

FrogOS.openSite({
  site: datalink,
  assignment_uuid: uuid,
  fullscreen: false,
  resizable: true,
  height: 500,
  width: 500
});

I've not tested this - but the code seems to look like it will accept those params. If not, I'll have to consult one of the front-end experts. Obviously you don't need to pass any params you're not using - for example assignment_uuid

OK, so how do I actually use this? ? I am a non codey person!

Thanks Conkie...  will give it a go when I get 5mins!!  Still recovering from San Fransisco...  and it’s harder looking after my own two than a class of 30!!!!  ?

[ADT]

@pconkie finally found 5 mins to test this out.. I get a Malformed JavaScript Error ?

 

 

<button onclick="opensite()" class="btn btn-primary">Open</button>
<script>
    function opensite() {
        FrogOS.openSite({
        site: '/AAT/report_abuse/new_page/',
        fullscreen: false,
        resisable: false,
        height: 500,
        width: 500
     }):
    }
</script>

You have a colon where a semi-colon should be!

Question - do I put this code on the site I want to open, or on the site that it is opening from?

@pconkie well spotted... ?

Thanks Paul. I’m currently in Spain so can’t try! Does it create a button?

[gbligh]

OK - so tried this and it doesn't seem to open the site. The button gets created, however does nothing.

Looks like frog have tightened security in html widgets.  The function in the onClick of the button can't be found.  

Here is another way of doing the same thing....

<button data-name="open-site" class="btn btn-primary">Open</button>
<script>
  this.element.find("button[data-name=open-site]").click(function(e) {
    FrogOS.openSite({
      site:'/prcadm/d_t_lessons_in_year_8/',
      fullscreen: false,
      resizable: true,
      height: 500,
      width: 500
    });
  });
</script>

The site now opens when the button is pressed BUT....

The bit provided by @adamw to get it to open not fullscreen doesn't seem to work...

I'm on annual leave this week, and don't have access to the code, so I can't check it for you. I will have to refer you to @Graham Quince for now!
