[Chameleon] Re: EMBEDDED (revisited)

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Final update on this one, if anybody in future wants to try this approach 
for embedding popup widgets:

1) I named my form (<form name="blabla">) and made all references in the 
popup refer to this named form (instead of document.forms[0])

2) I added the following to my application index.phtml just before the 
CWCExecute call:

$oApp->setVar( 'gszCoreWebPath', $_SESSION['gszCoreWebPath'] );
$oApp->setVar( 'gszSessId', $GLOBALS['gszSessId'] );

3) I added an iframe to my HTML template:

<iframe frameborder="0" id="catalogframe" scrolling="No" width="600px" 
height="450px" ></iframe>

4) I set the src of the iframe at the end of the OnLoad function (of the 
body in the HTML template), because otherwise the session is locked:

document.getElementById("catalogframe"). src = 
"[$gszCoreWebPath$]/widgets/GeoservicesCatalogSearch/CatalogSearchPopup.phtml?szCallbackFunc=catalogSearchCB&szWcasURL=http://grosserver:8080/deegreewcas/wcas&iMaxRecords=10&sid=[$gszSessId$]&bEmbedded=1";

5) I also had to add the callback function to my template.

6) finally I implemented a widget attribute called EMBEDDED which will 
determine the state of the widget, e.g. when it is embedded I cannot use 
"opener" in js, but I have to use "parent". Also the close button is not 
very functional in the EMBEDDED mode, so I made this depend on the state 
as well.

Conclusion: it seemed simpler than it turned out to be :)

Best regards,
Bart
