I have a list of canned emails in a database. "Thanks for becoming a member", "Thank you for your purchase its on the way" - stuff like that. I am using Bootstrap modals to edit these emails. When I click the edit button, the modal drops down, and is populated with the data from the database: email name, subject, body. I am using Passing data to a bootstrap modal to accomplish this. Works great. Now I am using summernote as my rich text editor.
Here is my textarea that displays the unedited data:
<textarea class="summernote input-block-level" id="content" name="content" rows="18"></textarea>
The class summernote is how the data gets directed to the output text area so it can be edited. Once the data has been edited, I click submit, and the data should be pulled to the JavaScript with the code below.
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('button[id=editEmail]').on('click', function()
{
var $email_edbody_array = $('textarea[name="content"]').html($('#summernote').code());
var $email_edbody = $email_edbody_array.html();
console.log("edited email" + $email_edbody);
The fun part is that this works fine IF the summernote text area is blank - as in if I am creating a new email instead of editing one.
The console.log
should output the edited email body, but it does not. It outputs the original email body. I am not sure why.
What am I missing to get the edited email into my JavaScript. Below is the main parts of the code that I think matter for this question.
This section is the ouput to the page, and the data redirection for the edit button.
<?php while ($datarow_emails = pg_fetch_assoc($results_emails))
{
echo "
<tr>
<td>".$datarow_emails['internal_name']."</td>
<td>".$datarow_emails['email_subject']."</td>
<td>".$datarow_emails['type']."</td>
<td>
<span class='btn btn-info btn-small open-editEmailModal' data-toggle='modal'
href='#editEmail' data-inm='".$datarow_emails['internal_name']."'
data-es='".$datarow_emails['email_subject']."'
data-bdy='".$datarow_emails['email_body']."'
data-ty=".$datarow_emails['type']."
data-ces=".$datarow_emails['canned_email_sid'].">
<i class='icon-edit icon-white'></i> Edit</span>
<span class='btn btn-danger btn-small open-delEmailModal' data-toggle='modal'href='#deleteWarning' data-ces=".$datarow_emails['canned_email_sid'].">
<i class='icon-remove icon-white'></i> Delete</span>
</td>
</tr>";
}
?>
This next part is the jQuery that redirects the data to the modal. The .note-editable
is what redirects the email body.
<script>
$(document).on("click", ".open-editEmailModal", function()
{
var internalName = $(this).data('inm');
var emailSubject = $(this).data('es');
var emailBody = $(this).data('bdy');
var type = $(this).data('ty');
var cannedEmSid = $(this).data('ces');
$(".modal-body #canEmSid").val(cannedEmSid);
$(".modal-body #interName").val(internalName);
$(".modal-body #emailSub").val(emailSubject);
$(".modal-body #emailBdy").val(emailBody);
$(".modal-body .note-editable").html(emailBody);
$(".modal-body #tYpe").val(type);
});
</script>
And here is the modal:
<div id="editEmail" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="emailActivityLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3 id="myModalLabel">Edit Canned Response</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group" style="margin-bottom:8px;">
<label class="control-label" for="inputInternalName">Internal Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="interName" name="interName" placeholder="Internal Name" />
<input type="hidden" id="canEmSid" name="canEmSid"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group" style="margin-bottom:8px;">
<label class="control-label" for="inputInternalName">Type</label>
<div class="controls">
<select id="tYpe" name="tYpe">
<?php
while ($datearow_typeDD2 = pg_fetch_assoc($results_typesDD2))
{
echo "<option value='".$datearow_typeDD2['buyer_seller_sid']."'>".$datearow_typeDD2['buyer_seller_type']."</option>\n";
}
?>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group" style="margin-bottom:8px;">
<label class="control-label" for="inputSubject">Email Subject</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="emailSub" name="emailSub" placeholder="Email Subject">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<!-- <div class="text-editor"></div> -->
<!-- <div class="summernote"></div> -->
<div id="emailEditor">
<div class="controls">
<textarea class="summernote input-block-level" id="content" name="content" rows="18"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Cancel</button>
<button class="btn btn-success" id="editEmail">Save</button>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.summernote').summernote({
});
$('button[id=editEmail]').on('click', function()
{
var $email_edbody_array = $('textarea[name="content"]').html($('#summernote').code());
var $email_edbody = $email_edbody_array.html();
Below this is just other variables and the AJAX script.
TomPHP solution does not work with the newer version of summernote. In case anyone stumbles upon this post here is a current solution.
var textareaValue = $('#summernote').summernote('code');
