It' s Possible to pass a php variable with $script ='var' ?

[imagosonus]

I' m trying to develop a component (using Component Creator) and a relative (editor-xtd) Plugin.
After a lot of attemps i get it to work.
But i would like to know if it's possible to expand plugin functions, passing a php variable
with $script ='var' ?


Something like:

Code: Select all

$script .= 'var target = <?php echo $target; ?>' . "\n\t";

I'm guessing that $script is a php variable and you are writing javascript.

Code: Select all

$script .= "var target='$target';\n\t";

Wow Somebody reply me!!!
Thank' s a lot for your help buddy
Even if after almost one month..
I learn it by myself..
And i think the right way is:

Code: Select all

$script .= "var target='.$target.';\n\t";

Let's say your php variable is:
$target = 'http://www.domain.com';

If you write it using your code example:

Code: Select all

$script .= "var target='.$target.';\n\t";

If will look like this in javascript:
var target='.http://www.domain.com.';

IF you use the example code:

Code: Select all

$script .= "var target='$target';\n\t";

It will look like this:
var target='http://www.domain.com';
which is what you want.

Okay, maybe I should be more precise in asking my question...
What I was trying to do was an editor-xtd plugin to insert bootstrap elements in articles..
And then I do it and it work.. so below my articles editor I have a new button which allow me, by a modal pop up window to insert labels, button etc..
What exactly I was asking for was how to expand functions for ex. the target value of a link which for now it allows me only parent, blank etc.. but I would like to have even open in a pop up..

Code: Select all

<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
JHtml::_('formbehavior.chosen', 'select');
JHtml::script(JUri::base() . 'components/com_bootstrap/js/plug.js');
$params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_bootstrap');
$script  = 'function insertButtonA() {' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var href = document.getElementById("href").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (href != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'href = ""+href+"" ;' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var target = document.getElementById("target").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (target != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'target = ""+target+"" ;' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var title = document.getElementById("title").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (title != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'title = "title=\""+title+"\" ";' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var btc = document.getElementById("btc").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (btc != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'btc = ""+btc+"";' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var btt = document.getElementById("btt").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (btt != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'btt = ""+btt+"" ;' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var btsz = document.getElementById("btsz").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (btsz != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'btsz = ""+btsz+"";' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var btal = document.getElementById("btal").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (btal != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'btal = ""+btal+"";' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var bag = "<a href=\""+href+"\" class=\""+btc+" "+btsz+" "+btal+"\" "+title+" "+target+">"+btt+"</a>";' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'window.parent.jInsertEditorText(bag, ' . json_encode($this->eName) . ');' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'window.parent.jModalClose();' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'return false;' . "\n";
$script .= '}' . "\n";

JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration($script);


$script  = 'function insertButtonB() {' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var lbc = document.getElementById("lbc").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (lbc != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'lbc = ""+lbc+"";' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";

$script .= 'var lbt = document.getElementById("lbt").value;' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'if (lbt != \'\') {' . "\n\t\t";
$script .= 'lbt = ""+lbt+"" ;' . "\n\t";
$script .= '}' . "\n\t";


$script .= 'var bag = "<span class=\""+lbc+"\">"+lbt+"</span>";' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'window.parent.jInsertEditorText(bag, ' . json_encode($this->eName) . ');' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'window.parent.jModalClose();' . "\n\t";
$script .= 'return false;' . "\n";
$script .= '}' . "\n";
JFactory::getDocument()->addScriptDeclaration($script);
?>

And those document.getElementById are related to a form below it which i tried to post here but i get error..
But for ex. this ↓

Code: Select all

$script .= 'var target = document.getElementById("target").value;' . "\n\t";

is related to this in the form below ↓

Code: Select all

<label for="target" class="control-label">Target Window</label>
		<div class="controls">
			<select size="1" id="target" name="target">
			     <option value="" selected="selected">Open in parent window</option>
			     <option value="target='_blank'">Open in new window</option>
	        </select>
		</div>

One more thing..
If you want i can create i dowload link so you can get copy of the component and plugin..
We can make it better together!! And I really want to learn and share knowledge..
And I think it's JOOMLA!!

There is no value properity for the select object which is why you get a js error. You need to get the selected option's value.

Do a search for accessing a select object in javascript, then once you know how to do it then write it into your php code. Here is an example that's using both ID and TagName, just ignore the TagName for now.

It could be written something like this.

Code: Select all

$script .= "el = document.getElementById('target');\n\t";
$script .= "var target = el[el.selectedIndex].value;\n\t";

I didn't test this so sorry if there is a typo.

[imagosonus]

Thank you anyway for your support, but i don't get any js error

And this is corrrect ▼

var target = document.getElementById("target").value;
