SharePoint Modal Dialog does not work under SharePoint 2013
When migrating our Solutions2Share License Management Solution from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 the SharePoint Modal Dialog did not open.
SharePoint 2010 Example:
1: function ShowServerInformation() {
2: var options = {
3: url: '/_admin/Solutions2Share/LicenseManagement/GeneralServerInformation.aspx',
4: tite: 'Server Information',
5: allowMaximize: false,
6: showClose: true,
7: width: 430,
8: height: 230
9: };
10:
11: SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);
12: return false;
13: }
How to fix SharePoint Modal Dialog in SharePoint 2013
Time needed: 3 minutes
- Remove Java Script reference
Remove the following Java Script reference:
<script src=”/_layouts/sp.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<script src=”/_layouts/SP.UI.Dialog.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> - Add URL variable
Add to the URL variable “?IsDlg=1″
- Replace command
Replace the command SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog() with the new command SP.SOD.execute(‘sp.ui.dialog.js’, ‘SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog’, options);
With these small changes your solution will work correctly.
SharePoint 2013 Example:
1: function ShowServerInformation(featureId) {
2: var options = {
3: url: '/_admin/Solutions2Share/LicenseManagement/ServerInformation.aspx?featureId=' + featureId + "&IsDlg=1",
4: title: 'Server Information',
5: allowMaximize: false,
6: showClose: true,
7: width: 430,
8: height: 230
9: };
10:
11: SP.SOD.execute('sp.ui.dialog.js', 'SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog', options);
12:
13: return false;
