April 29th, 2013LWMW: Can I set a modal window to auto-close after some seconds?
Knowledge Base support case for Likno Web Modal Windows Builder, abstracted and stripped of all user’s private info.
Initial Email From: User
Initial Email Subject: Web Modal Windows Builder - Auto close the modal window
Support Case Month: March 2013
Would it be possible to setup in the application to either auto close the modal window after the specified # of seconds otherwise the user can click the Close icon before # of seconds elapsed?
I mean that it needs to work with "Make certain links/forms in page open in this window". Basically the link runs a php script with a dynamic id value (favorites.php?action=add&id=#) and returns a result message (error/success/login) in the modal window as an alert. I want this modal window to dismiss automatically after 5 seconds or the user can click on the close icon.
Thanks

Hmmm… this is not officially supported, however you can do this with custom code.
Specifically you can add some JavaScript code to call the “close” command after 5 seconds. If the Modal is already closed, nothing will happen.
On your link try adding something like:
<a … onclick="setTimeout(function () {likno_modal_project.close();},5000);">
