Open SharePoint Office documents in modal dialog

November 13, 2017 / Kannan / 0 Comments

Sometimes we need Microsoft Office documents to be opened in dialogs instead of SharePoint’s default behavior which is opening the document in the same window or tab.

The following code helps in implementing this.

Note: This code only works for office documents. For pdf documents look at the previous article.

<!-- Put this code below the list view web part -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $hrefVal = $("a[onclick*='return DispEx'][target!='_blank']").attr("href");
    $siteUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl;

    $("a[onclick*='return DispEx'][target!='_blank']")
        .removeAttr("onclick")
        .attr("href", "javascript:OpenDocumentInDialogue(\"" + $siteUrl + "/_layouts/WopiFrame.aspx?action=default&sourcedoc=" + $hrefVal + "\")");

    function OpenDocumentInDialogue(href) {
        var o;
        $("body").append("<div id='docTemp' style='min-height:600px;min-width:800px;height:100%;overflow:hidden'><object data='" + href + "' width='100%' height='100%'></object></div>");
        o = {};
        o.html = $("#docTemp")[0];
        o.showMaximized = true;
        o.title = href.substring(href.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
        o.dialogReturnValueCallback = OpenDocumentinDlgCallback;
        SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(o);
    }

    function OpenDocumentinDlgCallback() {
        // do something here when the dialog closes
    }
</script>
