Redirect to Another Page in Modal Dialog after Inserting a New Record in Modal Dialog (v2025)

PHPMaker User Submitted Tips (PHPMaker)

This following tips will show you how to redirect to another page inside Bootstrap Modal Dialog, after inserting a new record from a Bootstrap Modal Dialog, too.

Let’s say from demo2025 project, after successfully inserting a new record in Order Details table, we want to redirect end-user to Product Edit page that related to ProductID in Order Details table. Again, in that case, both pages are still inside the Modal Dialog.

Please do the following steps carefully:

  1. Open demo2025 project by using PHPMaker 2025.
  2. Click on Order Details table, then make sure from Table setup, enable Modal dialog option under the Add Page.
  3. Add the following code into Row_Inserted server event that belongs to Order Details table:
    $url = "productsedit/" . $newRow["ProductID"];    
    WriteJson([
        "url" => $url,
        "caption" => "Edit ProductID " . $newRow["ProductID"],
        "view" => true,
        "modal" => true
    ]);
    $this->terminate();
  1. Click on Products table, go to Table setup, and then make sure you have already enabled Modal dialog option under the Edit Page
  2. Re-generate ALL the script files.
  3. From the generated web application, make sure you have already logged-in using username/password: admin/master, go to Order Details menu, then click on the Add button, and fill-in the Add form.
  4. After adding/saving the new record in Order Details table, then you will see system will redirect to Product Edit page with the same Product ID with the Product ID in Order Details Add page; and the most important thing, both still inside the Modal Dialog.

How to specify te product edit in grid format?

You may simply change this part:

$url = "productsedit/" . $newRow["ProductID"];

to:

$url = "productslist?action=gridedit";

(assume you have already enabled Grid-Edit option under Table setup → List Page that belongs to the products table before re-generating ALL the script files).

In addition, you may also remove this part, since system will not redirect to the Edit Page:

"caption" => "Edit ProductID " . $newRow["ProductID"],
