Reloading parent with GREYBOX

Greybox is a popup script and a pretty good one. They have a built in function for reloading the parent page, but since I use greybox on more than one page, but want the parent reload to only happen on one page, I can't figure out how to do that...


Greybox's big js file has got this line:

this.reload_on_close=false;

if I change it to true, it will reload the parent on close. How would I get it to only reload one specific parent page? I don't want the reloading to happen on other pages I use greybox.

Also, if there is an easier way without modifying greybox's source, it would work even better. I've been trying to do this for hours but couldn't.

 

Have a demo site or script we could see?

 

Sure. Greybox is a free script.

Click "Launch google.com in a 500x500 center window"

In the new popup when you click "close" I'd need it to refresh the parent page but I don't know how.

 

Uf, so they call it AJS, another javascript sub framework?
Hmm, I wonder how many there are: jQuery, Mootols, Prototype, AJS...

Let us try to apply your hint :

this.reload_on_close=false;

PHP:

to AJS customized function (see this link: http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/FAQ/#q5).

So now you have this function:

...
<script type="text/javascript">
  GB_myShow = function(caption, url, height, width, is_reload_on_close) {
    var options = {
      caption: caption,
      height: height || 500,
      width: width || 500,
      fullscreen: false,
      overlay_click_close: true,
      show_loading: true,
      [COLOR="Red"][B]reload_on_close: is_reload_on_close || false[/B][/COLOR]
    }
  var 
    win = new GB_Window(options);
  return win.show(url);
}
</script>
...

Code (markup):

and use it to create a link in your page, without reloading:

<a href="xxx.jpg" 
  onclick="return GB_myShow('xxx', this.href, 300,300, [COLOR="Red"][B]false[/B][/COLOR])" 
  title="xxx">xxx</a>

Code (markup):

or this with reloading:

<a href="xxx.jpg" 
  onclick="return GB_myShow('xxx', this.href, 300,300, [COLOR="Red"][B]true[/B][/COLOR])" 
  title="xxx">xxx</a>

Code (markup):

I've tested on my FF only, and seemed ok.
Let me know the result on your browsers.

Works perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to explain this!
