Development newbie here. I'm trying to have a form inside each of my infowindows on a google map on my website. I have one function that generates all of the markers as well as the content of each of the markers.
My problem is that the jQuery that should be called after a form in my infowindow is submitted never called (at least addComment.php is never called). I've looked around a lot and couldn't find anything to fix this problem. Any help would be very appreciated
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 15,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(38.64806723893503, -90.30880584275044),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var pdata;
$.ajax({type:'POST', url: 'fetchInfo.php', data: pdata, dataType: 'json', success: function(response) {
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
var content = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
content[i] = '<div> '+ response[i].added;
content[i] += '<div class=description>'+response[i].desc+'</div>';
content[i] += '</div>';
content[i] += '<div class=addCom>';
content[i] += '<textarea rows="4" cols="10" name="comment" id="comment" data-picId='+response[i].picture_id+' placeholder="Enter Comment Here..."></textarea><br>';
content[i] += '<input class="submitComment" type="button" value="Add Comment"/>';
content[i] += '</div>';
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].lat, response[i].lng),
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
map.panTo(marker.position);
infowindow.setContent(content[i]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
}});
Then, separate from this function I have a jQuery that performs the ajax call
$(".submitComment").click( function(){
var comment = $("#comment").val();
var picture_id = $(this).attr('data-picId');
var user_id = usrId;
if (comment === ""){
return;
}
var pdata = {
comment : comment,
picture_id : picture_id,
user_id : user_id
};
$.ajax({type:'POST', url: 'addComment.php', data: pdata, dataType: 'json', success: function(response) {
if(response.success){
$("#uploadfile_input").val("");
$("#lat").val("");
$("#lng").val("");
$("#desc").val("");
load();
}
}
});
});
By looking at your script , there are some points of facts.
-
First of all attribute 'id' is meant to be uniqueness so you must assign unique ids to comments. content[i] += '<textarea rows="4" cols="10" name="comment" id="comment" data-picId='+response[i].picture_id+' placeholder="Enter Comment Here..."></textarea><br>';
for(){
content[i] = '<form><div> '+ response[i].added;
content[i] += '<div class=description>'+response[i].desc+'</div>';
content[i] += '</div>';
content[i] += '<div class=addCom>';
content[i] += '<textarea rows="4" cols="10" name="comment" id="comment" data-picId='+response[i].picture_id+' placeholder="Enter Comment Here..."></textarea><br>';
content[i] += '<input class="submitComment" type="button" value="Add Comment"/>';
content[i] += '</div></form>';
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
map.panTo(marker.position);
infowindow.setContent(content[i]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
$(content[i]).submit(listenformSubmission());
}
function listenformSubmission(){
var comment = $(this).find('[name="comment"]');//here will be the form object
var picture_id = comment.attr('data-picId');
var user_id = usrId;
if (comment === ""){
return;
}
var pdata = {
comment : comment,
picture_id : picture_id,
user_id : user_id
};
$.ajax({type:'POST', url: 'addComment.php', data: pdata, dataType: 'json', success: function(response) {
if(response.success){
$("#uploadfile_input").val("");
$("#lat").val("");
$("#lng").val("");
$("#desc").val("");
load();
}
}
return false;
} function addCommentForm(el){
var formdata = $(el);
var siblings = formdata.siblings();
var comments= $(siblings[1]).val();
console.log(comments);
if (comments === "") {
return;
}
var pdata = {
comment:comments
};
console.log(pdata);
$.ajax({
type: 'POST', url: 'addComment.php', data: pdata, dataType: 'json', success: function (response) {
alert((JSON.stringify(response)));
}
});
return false;
}
and here is the init Function where the story starts
function initMap() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 15,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(38.64806723893503, -90.30880584275044),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
// alert("ok");
$(document).ready(function () {
var pdata;
$.ajax(
{
type: 'POST',
url: 'fetchInfo.php',
data: {},
dataType: 'json',
success: function (response) {
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
console.log(response);
var content = [];
for (i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
content[i] = '<form ><div> ' + response[i].added;
content[i] += '</div>';
content[i] += '<div class=addCom>';
content[i] += '<div class=description>' + response[i].desc + '</div>';
content[i] += '<textarea rows="4" cols="10" name="comment" id="comment" data-picId=' + response[i].picture_id + ' placeholder="Enter Comment Here..."></textarea><br>';
content[i] += '<input onclick="return addCommentForm(this);" class="submitComment" type="button" value="Add Comment"/>';
content[i] += '</div></form>';
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(response[i].lat, response[i].lng),
map: map
})
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function (marker, i) {
return function () {
console.log($(content[i]));
map.panTo(marker.position);
infowindow.setContent(content[i]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
}
});
});
}
I wrote some PHP SCRIPTS to check the response and here it is fetchInfo.php
<?php
echo json_encode(array(array(
'lat'=>"38.64806723893503",
'lng'=>"-90.30880584275044",
'added'=>"1",
'desc'=>"Descripion of map",
'picture_id'=>1
)));
and addComment.php to check the response is recieved
<?php
echo json_encode(
array('result'=>true,
'submitdata'=>$_POST
)
);
