How to close a popup window in Liferay? - popup

Question

I load the WebContent edit portlet on a Popup window using the following code:
<liferay-ui:icon
image="edit"
label="true"
message="news-edit-url"
url="${oneNews.newsEditUrl}"
/>
editUrl:
taglibEditURL = "javascript:Liferay.Util.openWindow({dialog: {width: 960}," +
"id: '" + renderResponse.getNamespace() + "'," +
"title: '" + LanguageUtil.format(request.getLocale(), "edit-x", HtmlUtil.escape(assetRenderer.getTitle(request.getLocale()))) + "'," +
"uri:'" + HtmlUtil.escapeURL(editPortletURLString) + "'});";
When the content is saved or published, the portlet is loaded on the popup window. I want the popup window to close and the portlet with the editURL link to refresh.
Any help regarding this...

Here is the code to close the pop-up, this should be present in the parent page which opens the pop-up:
Liferay version 6.1
Liferay.provide(
window,
'<portlet:namespace />closePopup',
function(popupIdToClose) {
var A = AUI();
A.DialogManager.closeByChild('#' + popupIdToClose);
},
['aui-base','aui-dialog','aui-dialog-iframe']
);
Liferay version 6.2
Liferay.provide(
window,
'<portlet:namespace/>closePopup',
function(popupIdToClose) {
var popupDialog = Liferay.Util.Window.getById(popupIdToClose);
popupDialog.destroy();
},
['liferay-util-window']
);
Here is the code to refresh the portlet which opened the pop-up. This should be present in the parent page which opens the pop-up:
Liferay.provide(
window,
'<portlet:namespace />refreshPortlet',
function() {
<%-- refreshing the portlet [Liferay.Util.getOpener().] --%>
var curPortletBoundaryId = '#p_p_id<portlet:namespace />';
Liferay.Portlet.refresh(curPortletBoundaryId);
},
['aui-dialog','aui-dialog-iframe']
);
It is up to you how to call the closePopup & refreshPortlet functions. One way is you can let the pop-up refresh and call the closePopup function from the pop-up itself only when the request is successfully processed and then call the refreshPortlet function also from the pop-up.
Here is a code-snippet which would help you to call parent-page functions from the pop-up:
Liferay.Util.getOpener().<portlet:namespace />closePopup(popupIdToClose);
Liferay.Util.getOpener().<portlet:namespace />refreshPortlet();
The popupIdToClose is the same id which is used when opening the pop-up as shown:
taglibEditURL = "javascript:"
+ Liferay.Util.openWindow({"
+ "dialog: {width: 960},"
+ "id: '" + renderResponse.getNamespace() + "'," // This is the "popupIdToClose"
+ "title: '" + LanguageUtil.format(request.getLocale(), "edit-x", HtmlUtil.escape(assetRenderer.getTitle(request.getLocale()))) + "',"
+ "uri:'" + HtmlUtil.escapeURL(editPortletURLString)
+ "'}"
+ ");";
Hope this helps.

AUI taglib solution for 6.2 version. No additional JS required.
<aui:button cssClass="close-panel" type="cancel" value="close" />
Important part is cssClass="close-panel".
