I managed to get this working, sort of. I learned that I need to include
jquery.init.js to my parent form. otherwise It wont open in a new window.
Now the only issue I am encountering is after I submit my child form, the
window goes white, but does not close. I think the code that gets called
when I submit the form is this
return HttpResponse('<script
type="text/javascript">opener.dismissAddRelatedObjectPopup(window, "%s",
"%s");</script>' % \
(escape(newObject._get_pk_val()), escape(newObject)))
I cant figure out if its being called at all or if its being called on the
child or if its being called on the parent and thats why its not closing.
"window" is being staticaly typed so its not in the view code other than
that one spot.
Here is the Django code for the dismiss function (this was pulled directly
from
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/admin/RelatedObjectLookups.js
function dismissAddRelatedObjectPopup(win, newId, newRepr) {
var name = windowname_to_id(win.name);
var elem = document.getElementById(name);
if (elem) {
var elemName = elem.nodeName.toUpperCase();
if (elemName === 'SELECT') {
elem.options[elem.options.length] = new Option(newRepr, newId
, true, true);
} else if (elemName === 'INPUT') {
if (elem.className.indexOf('vManyToManyRawIdAdminField') !==
-1 && elem.value) {
elem.value += ',' + newId;
} else {
elem.value = newId;
}
}
// Trigger a change event to update related links if required.
$(elem).trigger('change');
} else {
var toId = name + "_to";
var o = new Option(newRepr, newId);
SelectBox.add_to_cache(toId, o);
SelectBox.redisplay(toId);
}
win.close();
}
I can see that after I submit my new object gets selected in the dropdown
inside the parent form, but the popup window from the child form does not
close. Any ideas how to get the child form to close, the dismiss function
should be doing that correct?
