Hide Menu when calling a memform with '_blank'
« on: May 24, 2019, 02:02:17 PM »
I have a procedure that I want to call on a '_blank' page/tab. I do not want to show the menu when this page is called, can this be done.

So how and where does the code go to hide the below the menu_div class for a specific page or set of pages. I understand this can be done with CSS using display: none;.

<nav id="menu_div" class=" nt-menu-div ui-corner-br">

Think of it as a sales manager logging in to the site. There is a menu item "Manage Sales People", he then views a list of all sales personnel.
On that list is a row button that when pressed takes him to a new page/tab that shows him all the invoices that the sales person has produced.

I do not want the new page/tab to show the menu on it or any of it's preceding page after that.

Hi Ashley,

There are several ways to accomplish this. That said, I'm not sure this will be a terribly nice interface. Opening a new tab, and no menu, basically means "no navigation on this tab" which might be quite a confusing interface. (This is one reason even having reports "inside a form" seems to work much better.) Users expect some sort of navigation other than "close the tab".

but hey, your app right?

so the way I'd do it is set a different header procedure for the target procedure. In other words on the "Browse Invoices For one Person" procedure, Advanced tab, you can set a custom header procedure (one presumably, without a menu.)

cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

Some people here when accessing GoDaddy's email settings as a admin like the way they done it when they look at an individual's email account.

Thanks Bruce!

Hey Ashley,

Are you using popups with this app?

Hey, give me a call later when you have time.

See ya!
