CSUI Widget TargetPickerDialogWidget re-open with no data

Jean-Marc Gagnon

Hi,
I'm trying to use the TargetPickerDialog and open it with an html button. Just following the examples provided.
It does open correctly and point to Enterprise Workspace. However if i cancel the Widget and reopen it, it it come up empty.

Using ContentServer 10.0 SP2 (2014-09)

Any idea ?
Thx

P.S.  See attachment for the sample code.

Yes, I can confirm, that you page does not work.

UPDATE: Do not pass the "placeholder" parameter to the show() method. Do just:

 picker.show();

The placeholder parameter should be used for widgets, which are supposed to be rendered in that placeholder on the page. FolderbrowserWidget, for example. It does not make sense for dialogs, like TargetPickerDialogWidget, which are rendered as overlays above the reast of the document.

If the placeholder parameter is passed to the show() method of TargetPickerDialogWidget, the dialog is placed to the specified element. Visually you will see no dferrence. When the dialog is closed, the element is removed. The second call to show() using the same placeholder does not work, because the element, which was supposed to host the dialog body, does not exist any more. You would have to re-create it.
