Hello!
I’m having a user upload a file via a lightbox window, when the lightbox window closes, I would like to refresh a dynamic dataset on the page.
Is there a way to have the lightbox communicate with the base page so that I can update the data on lightbox close?
Thanks!
just add code to your lightbox to refresh the page and then close the lightbox
import wixLocation from ‘wix-location’;
import wixWindow from ‘wix-window’;
$w.onReady( function () {
//add an event here such as an onClick to trigger the page refresh and lightbox close
wixLocation.to (wixLocation.url);
wixWindow.lightbox.close();
})
Another idea is after the user uploads the file the user is directed to a success page saying thank you for uploading, then there‘S a button on the success page that says see results or whatever is being displayed in the database and its linked to that page. So it can act as a way to refresh the page and as a success message without using code. Make sure the success page is a dynamic page because it doesn’t work with regular pages.
