InfoBar MODE links does not work in EDIT mode after action.

[mbasovni]

Hello,

in my portlet I have EDIT mode page and when I save preferences by my save button, value is stored but it is not possible to redirect to another mode. No exception is thrown!

But this works!

<pbr:renderURL var="viewModeURL" portletMode="view">
</pbr:renderURL>
<h:outputLink value="#{viewModeURL}">#{text.Back}</h:outputLink>

Any idea? Thx

Have you tried using the way to navigate between portlet modes in JSF described here: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/PBR/Switching+Portlet+Modes

I tried it now. This way to navigate works only one-way for me:

view mode => edit mode

but not:

edit mode => view mode

The only way that works uses link generated by <pbr:renderURL ...


Any idea?

Does it generate any errors?

Or it just refreshes the edit mode page again?

It just refreshes the edit mode page again.

Martin,

I just added some tests to Portlet Bridge for navigation between modes, and it appears to work fine.

When on the edit page, something like the below enabled me to go back to the view page:

{code}

<h:commandButton id="homePageButton" action="main?javax.portlet.faces.PortletMode=view" value="Home" />

{code}

If you are performing an Action on the edit page and know you want to return to view on completion, you can return that String from the action method of the bean and it will do it without needing to click the link.
