 Master to Details relationship view in full screen rather than popup

I have created a link between two tables in PHPRunner and have the Master Settings as "Show individual details links".

When the user clicks the link for the details record it displays the list of records inline on the list page.

Each record in the details table list has a view icon next to it so when this is clicked the record is opened in View mode.
This works fine but here's the challenge

When the view icon is clicked the link to the details table opens in popup mode. The popup mode hides some of the information to be viewed and user has to adjust the window to see all of it.
Is there some way I can have the link to the details record open in full screen view rather than popup?
Looking forward to some assistance.

Thanks!

Just click the Show Proceed to details Link in Preview Checkbox. This would be if a sub-table of a child from the master and another sub-details so it would still be inline of the master. If this is not working, then read on!
If you do not want any popups then you need to set this up in the other sub-tables as if they were setup as popup that is what your going to get. This is By design ! Then if you want no popups , change the other tables the same way with details and master as inline. Thus all your child records have the ability to open as inline instead of popup.

Thanks for the reply.

The Show Proceed to details link doesn't open the current record. It simply goes to the table or view then you have to search for the record again.

This works for this "When the user clicks the link for the details record it displays the list of records inline on the list page."



Not for this "Each record in the details table list has a view icon next to it so when this is clicked the record is opened in View mode."

If you ever manage to achieve this please post the method as I too have not been able to open the add/edit/view in full screen.. it always opens in a popup despite the openin popup being unchecked.

Finally found a work around!

  • Went to the 'Pages' tab on the details table
  • In the 'Click Actions' options next to 'List Page' selected (grid row) then used the following configurations:

    Open Page - 'View Page'

    How to open - 'Open in new window/tab'
    Then went to the Designer page and inserted an HTML text label in the grid row and labelled it 'View Record'
    Also the window that pops up may not have a 'Close' or 'Exit' button on it, so I inserted a custom button on that page and used the following code in the Client Before section window.close()
    Now whenever I click the inserted label 'View Record' it opens up my details record in full window then I can close that window by clicking the custom button inserted.
    Hope this helps at least one person having similar challenges with this
