Modal Dialog: How to Disable Redirect on Save

Question

I have a wiki page with a link on it which when clicked opens a modal dialog to a document set's new form page.

When the Cancel button on the modal dialog is clicked, the dialog closes, as expected.

But when the Save button is clicked, the modal closes and the page redirects to the new document set's home page.

How can I have the modal dialog simply close when the Save button is clicked, rather than redirect to the document set's home page?

Answer 1

var options = 
 {
        url: dialogUrl,
        allowMaximize: dialogAllowMaximize,
        showClose: dialogShowClose,
        width: dialogWidth,
        height: dialogHeight,
        title: dialogTitle,
        dialogReturnValueCallback: function(dialogResult) 
        { 
          SP.UI.ModalDialog.RefreshPage(dialogResult) //This will refresh the current page if "Ok" is returned. You can just return false here.
        }
 }

Use dialogReturnValueCallback to call your own delegate once modal dialog exits.

Answer 2

Did you ever find a Sharepoint focussed solution @Submits?

This is not the prettiest method, nor is it Sharepoint focused but it works fairly well if you know where you are attempting to add doc sets from

We added a script editor webpart above the image on the document set welcome page so that it is called as early as possible during page load

<script>
(function () {
   if (document.referrer === 'https://sharepoint.com/sourcepage.aspx') {
      window.location = 'https://sharepoint.com/sourcepage.aspx'
   }
})();
</script>

With this it gets halfway through loading the doc set welcome page (only as far as header elements and left navigation) before bouncing back to the originating page. Granted it won't work as well if you have the modal dialog code in multiple places
