user_selector form helper not launching in modal

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey there,

I have a dashboard page on one of my packages in which I'm trying to leverage the user_selector form helper.

The issue is that, when I launch the selector, instead of opening in a modal, it goes to a new page sans any layout.

I'm using the page selector on the same page with no issue at all.

My code boils down to:

<?php
  $ush  = Loader::helper('form/user_selector');
  echo $ush->selectUser('userID',$userID);
?>


I've even tried this on a page all by itself to see if another element on the page was conflicting.

Anyone dug into this helper much?

This appears to be a bug in the user selector and how it specifies what the ccmActiveUserField value.

Out of the box, the helper generates this code:

<div class="ccm-summary-selected-item"><div class="ccm-summary-selected-item-inner"><strong class="ccm-summary-selected-item-label"></strong></div><a class="ccm-sitemap-select-item dialog-launch" onclick="ccmActiveUserField=this" dialog-width="90%" dialog-height="70%" dialog-modal="false" dialog-title="Choose User" href="/index.php/tools/required/users/search_dialog?mode=choose_one">Select User</a><input type="hidden" name="blogUserID" value="0"></div><script type="text/javascript">if (typeof(ccmActiveUserField) == "undefined") {var ccmActiveUserField;}
         ccm_triggerSelectUser = function(uID, uName, uEmail) {
           var par = $(ccmActiveUserField).parent().find('.ccm-summary-selected-item-label');
           var pari = $(ccmActiveUserField).parent().find('[name=blogUserID]');
           par.html(uName);
           pari.val(uID);
           }
      </script>


After staring at the working page selector code, I made a few modifications and it fired right up.

<div class="ccm-summary-selected-item"><div class="ccm-summary-selected-item-inner"><strong class="ccm-summary-selected-item-label"></strong></div><a class="ccm-sitemap-select-item dialog-launch" dialog-width="90%" dialog-height="70%" dialog-modal="false" dialog-title="Choose User" href="/index.php/tools/required/users/search_dialog?mode=choose_one">Select User</a><input type="hidden" name="blogUserID" value="0"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var ccmActiveUserField;
  $(function() {
    $("a.ccm-sitemap-select-item").unbind();
    $("a.ccm-sitemap-select-item").dialog();
    $("a.ccm-sitemap-select-item").click(function() {
      ccmActiveUserField = this;
    });
  });
 ccm_triggerSelectUser = function(uID, uName, uEmail) {
   var par = $(ccmActiveUserField).parent().find('.ccm-summary-selected-item-label');
   var pari = $(ccmActiveUserField).parent().find('[name=blogUserID]');
   par.html(uName);
   pari.val(uID);

Any chance this correction could be made in the core?
