How to diplay a portlet in a popup?

[steven7846]

Hi

I have a portlet wich contains a dataTable, for each row i want to open a popup portlet.

Can someone explain to me in details what should i do?
I saw this post http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4056163, but there isn't anwer.

For now i added a layout:

<layout>
 <name>itcorePopup</name>
 <uri>/theme/itcore-popup-layout.jsp</uri>
 <uri state="maximized">/theme/itcore-popup-layout.jsp?maximized=true</uri>
 <regions>
 <region name="left"/>
 </regions>
 </layout>

i added a page:

<portal>
 <page>
 <page-name>popup</page-name>
 <window>
 <window-name>PopupAlarmPortletWindow</window-name>
 <instance-ref>PopupAlarmPortletInstance</instance-ref>
 <region>left</region>
 <height>0</height>
 </window>
 </page>
</portal>

Obviously i added declaration for the portlet and portlet instance.

Honestly, i don't know if i am on the right way.
So now how can i call the page "popup" declared in my default portal. Do i have to do a window.open()? how can i get the URL?

Need help thx

How about using AJAX call and display the content in a div popup.

Depending on which portal container version you are using, in version 2.0+ there are ways to request resources from portlet container.

Or you can call a servlet request and display the content in the div.
