I'm trying to permanently show the p:tooltip in a PrimeFaces project I'm working on.
This is my current code:
<p:graphicImage id="testImg" name="/img/testImg.jpg" onclick="PF('info').show();" style="cursor: pointer"/>
<p:tooltip for="testImg" value="further information" position="right" />
<p:dialog widgetVar="info" modal="true" closeOnEscape="true" >
<h:outputText value="bla bla bla"/>
</p:dialog>
I tried this:
<p:tooltip for="testImg" value="further information" position="right" showEevent="permanent"/>
but it didn't work.
Is there any way to control the tooltip and have it permanently visible without having to mouse over or focus the controlling element?
As you have noticed, there is no show event called permanent. What you could do is controlling the tooltip with JavaScript using a widget variable. You can assign one for the tooltip using the widgetVar attribute. The tooltip widget has several functions, one of them is show() (to show the tooltip).
When the tooltip is shown there is a delay of 150 msec, so set that to 0 to immediately show the tooltip. To prevent the tooltip from being hidden, set the hideEvent to some non existing event (like none).
Putting it all together:
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputText value="Permanent" />
<p:inputText id="permanent"
title="Permanent tooltip" />
<p:tooltip id="permanentTip"
for="permanent"
widgetVar="permanentTip"
showDelay="0"
hideEvent="none"/>
</h:panelGrid>
<script>
$(function(){
PF('permanentTip').show();
});
</script>

I'm trying to update a primefaces dialog every time it pops up.
The dialog is triggered by a calendar field changing and the actual call is made from the bean.
When I call it the first time, the datas are fine but, if I close it and open it again, it'll still show the old datas.
It kinda makes sense: it's rendered just once and then it's shown and hidden and never actually updated.
I was thinking about updating it before the dialog.show() in the bean, but I don't know how to do that.
Any idea?
<p:dialog
site ="sectionDlg"
widgetVar ="Dlg"
minWidth ="430"
modal ="true"
closable ="true"
resizable ="false"
dynamic ="true"
width="450" height="300"
>
<h:form id="Form">
<br/>
<p:panelGrid id ="dates" styleClass="cmt-no-grid-100perc" columns="4">
<calendar attribName ="offerStartDateDlg"
value ="#{bean.startDate}"
writable ="#{false}"/>
<calendar attribName="offerEndDateDlg"
value="#{bean.endDate}"
writable="#{false}"/>
</p:panelGrid>
<div align="center">
<p:commandButton
onclick ="PF('whichSectionDlg').hide()"
>
</p:commandButton>
<p:commandButton
onclick ="PF('whichSectionDlg').hide()">
</p:commandButton>
</div>
</h:form>
This could make things easier
Ok so, I managed to figure it out.
I solved it by updating it from the bean, right before the call
public void show_dlg_method(){
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().update("Dlg");
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute("PF('Dlg').show()");
}
with "Dlg" being the widgetVar attribute value.
Some code of what you already have is always helpful. However, depending on what triggers the dialog to show up you can:
add an update to the triggering link/button/whatever or
initiate the update by the dialog itself like shown below.
<h:form>
<p:remoteCommand name="updateDialog" update="dialogpanelid" />
</h:form>
<dialog onShow="updateDialog">
<p:outputPanel id="dialogpanelid"> your content here </p:outputPanel>
</dialog>
Note that:
You need the remoteCommand to reside inside h:form
You should always update the dialogs content, not the dialog itself
the client-side id might differ depending on your page structure.
I have a datatable, with a command Button in each row,
The issue is that when i need to open one dialog for the first one, and then by clicking on another button, i need to update it. The issue is when i click on the second button, it closes the dialog and the user have to click once again on the second button to open the dialog again!
Thank's in advance for your help,
i'm here for further explanation
to my knowldege,You can open as many dialog as you want, only make sure that you gave them a unique widgetVar id:
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg1">
<h:outputText value="Hello from first dialog"/>
</p:dialog>
<p:dialog widgetVar="dlg2">
<h:outputText value="Hello from second dialog"/>
</p:dialog>
...
<p:commandButton value="Open First" onclick="dlg1.show()"/>
<p:commandButton value="Open Second" onclick="dlg2.show()"/>
Clicking on the commandButton above will open two separate dialog parallelly.
I think your buttons made an update to the entire Naming Container that wraps your Dialog. If u do that, that's what you get.
You should update Container inside your Dialog that wraps your component inside.
Example :
Don't :
<h:panelGrid id="gridContainer">
<p:dialog id="dialogComponent>
// components
</p:dialog>
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton update="#{p:component('gridContainer')}"/>
Do :
<h:panelGrid id="gridContainer">
<p:dialog id="dialogComponent>
<h:panelGrid id="insideContainer">
// components
</h:panelGrid>
</p:dialog>
</h:panelGrid>
<p:commandButton update="#{p:component('insideContainer')}"/>
I think you get the idea.
Hope it helps.
I am getting confused on the constrcut of a Primefaces 3 dialog.
I see question in SO that has this pattern. The form is outside the dialog.
<h:form>
<p:dialog id="dialog" modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
</p:dialog>
</h:form>
But other question has this.
<p:dialog id="dialog" modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
<h:form>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
The Primefaces showcase http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/dialogLogin.jsf favors the latter one.
I am getting confused if there's any valid reason for using the one over the other?
Thanks
You always better use place the <h:form> inside <p:dialog like this
<p:dialog id="dialog" modal="true" widgetVar="dlg">
<h:form>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
cause you dialog content might be "taken" out from your page and appended some where else in your DOM tree , so if you place the dialog inside some form, it can cause your dialog to be relocated somewhere else and to cause all your buttons/links and other elements to stop working (this is a very common question here in SO)
So in order to be allays on the safe side place you <h:form> tag inside your <p:dialog tag
Another example is when you use appendToBody="true" in dialog :
if dialog is inside an h:form component and appendToBody is enabled, on the browser
dialog would be outside of form and may cause unexpected results. In this case, nest a form inside
a dialog.
I want to show a dialog box on the click of a primefaces commandbutton. Before the dialog box , I need to check a condtional.
I am using Spring web-flow 2.3.0.
So I am doing it like this ,
And the Dialog Box is
I am not able to show this dialog box based on this condition.
Please help me ,any pointers?
SWF 2.3.0 Primefaces 2.2.1 JSF 2 Spring Security 3 Spring 3.1.0M1I EhCache Apache Tomcat 6.0 STS 2.5.1
So I have changed my code as per below
<p:commandLink id="addRequest" immediate="true" value="addreq"
oncomplete="dlg3.show()" update="dialogPanel">
<f:setPropertyActionListener
value="#{searchHandler.selectedAccIns}"
target="#{reqSearchHandler.checkAccStatus}" />
</p:commandLink>
And the dialog box is
<p:outputPanel id="dialogPanel"
rendered="#{not reqSearchHandler.accStatusFlag}">
<p:dialog header="Effect Dialog" widgetVar="dlg3"
showEffect="bounce" hideEffect="explode" height="200">
<h:outputText
value="Account is #{searchHandler.selectedAccIns.accStatusDesc}" />
<h:outputText value="Do you want to continue?" />
<div align="left">
<p:commandButton value="Yes" action="accept" />
<p:spacer width="960" height="5" />
<p:commandButton value="No" action="cancel" />
</div>
</p:dialog>
</p:outputPanel>
But when I am clicking on the command link , I am getting 3 dialog boxes. Can you please tell me why it is so?
Somebody else just posted the same problem! :)
You should use the oncomplete attribute instead of onclick of the commandButton. The click javascript event occurs before the page posts back, likely causing your dialog not to appear because of the page reloading.
oncomplete="dlg3.show()" will display the dialog AFTER the postback.
Is there a special way to include the p:focus on dialog window?
you can set focus to the dialog by calling the show() method for that dialog.
<p:dialog id="dialog" modal="true" widgetVar="ajaxDialog" width="0"
draggable="false" closable="false" resizable="false">
<p:graphicImage value="./images/ajax-loader.gif" />
</p:dialog>
set the focus with
ajaxDialog.show();
You can set focus automatically when a dialog is shown, using the tag p:focus.
Example:
<p:dialog id="myDialog">
<h:form id="myForm">
<p:focus context="myForm"/>
<p:inputText id="username" value="#{userBean.username}/>
</h:form>
</p:dialog>
when you open the dialog, The first visible editable field will gain focus.
