How to redirect parent page from UI action in iFrame

[peter_repan]

Hi guys,

I have in CMS an iFrame with UI action (it's form of sysapproval_approver record).

After I submit this UI Action I want to redirect my parent page to different URL in server-side script.

Is there a way how to do it?

If I use action.setRedirectURL('<my_page>.do'); it just reload the iframe, not the parent page

-               If I use action.setRedirectURL('my_list.do'); it just reload the iframe, not the parent page

I think the syntax you want is:

[Edit: this should be correct now]

top.window.location = 'your.url-here.com';

Hi Andrew,

not really, because I need server-side solution, not client side.

Finally, I got workaround.

How to solve it:

- create a UI page with script "<script>parent.document.location.href="my_list.do"</script>"

- in UI Action call action.setRedirectURL("my_ui_page.do");

This workaround will do the trick

I'm glad that worked for you!

if you tick the "client" box in a ui action, you can use client-side script there, as well.
