open form in new window

[vinia]

Hi.

I can set my list to open details view in a new window. How do I set the same for the form view? I cannot find the option to set the list to open the edit form in a new window.

Thanks in advance,

Vinia

Change your link to

index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=XX&tmpl=component

This code open form in modal window

<a href="index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=XX&tmpl=component" class="myFabWin btn btn-success" rel="{'content':'content','title':'Title','height':500,'loadMethod':'xhr'}">Open form</a>

This code open form in new window

<a href="index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=form&formid=XX&tmpl=component" class="btn btn-success" target="blank">Open form</a>

Just FYI, the reason we never added that as an option for the edit link is because if you open an edit in another window, change something, submit it, then go back to your window/tab with the list in it, it won't have been updated with any changes you made when editing.

So what you would typically want to do, if not using AJAX popups, is to edit in the same tab, and have a redirect on the form which goes back to the list. That way, you pick up any changes made during editing.
