Redirect or reload page after dismissing modal

Hi Tony,

I had the same problem. :(
The solution is that you must add the javascript file ajax-responder.js.
This file does the execution of the reload and redirect commands. And a lot more.
Add this line to your code.

  ctools_add_js('ajax-responder');

You must place this line before declaring your ajax link to your modal form.
In the ctools_ajax_sample module you place the line in the function ctools_ajax_sample_page().

If this does not work for you, please let me know.

Thanks this helped me too. I just figured all the necessary stuff would go into ctools_modal_add_js.

thanks,
This is very useful even for ctools_modal_command_dismiss();

ctools_add_js('ajax-responder','ajax-responder');

I face similar problem and not able to find why reload is not working

function mainlist_slot($account, $type, $mid, $js, $species, $step = NULL) {
  $types_having_cage = array('bird', 'mammal');
