How to set callback functions in CJuiDialog options

Hello everyone - happy friday!

I am trying to create a modal form using CJuiDialog and jQueryUI’s awesomeness.

Everything is going pretty well, but I’m having some trouble configuring the buttons as demonstrated in this example from the jQuery UI demo:




		$("#dialog-form").dialog({

			autoOpen: false,

			height: 300,

			width: 350,

			modal: true,

			buttons: {

				'Create an account': function() {

					var bValid = true;

					allFields.removeClass('ui-state-error');


					bValid = bValid && checkLength(name,"username",3,16);

					bValid = bValid && checkLength(email,"email",6,80);

					bValid = bValid && checkLength(password,"password",5,16);


					bValid = bValid && checkRegexp(name,/^[a-z]([0-9a-z_])+$/i,"Username may consist of a-z, 0-9, underscores, begin with a letter.");

					// From jquery.validate.js (by joern), contributed by Scott Gonzalez: http://projects.scottsplayground.com/email_address_validation/

					bValid = bValid && checkRegexp(email,/^((([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+(\.([a-z]|\d|[!#\$%&'\*\+\-\/=\?\^_`{\|}~]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])+)*)|((\x22)((((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(([\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x7f]|\x21|[\x23-\x5b]|[\x5d-\x7e]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(\\([\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0d-\x7f]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF]))))*(((\x20|\x09)*(\x0d\x0a))?(\x20|\x09)+)?(\x22)))@((([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|\d|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.)+(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])|(([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])([a-z]|\d|-|\.|_|~|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])*([a-z]|[\u00A0-\uD7FF\uF900-\uFDCF\uFDF0-\uFFEF])))\.?$/i,"eg. ui@jquery.com");

					bValid = bValid && checkRegexp(password,/^([0-9a-zA-Z])+$/,"Password field only allow : a-z 0-9");

					

					if (bValid) {

						$('#users tbody').append('<tr>' +

							'<td>' + name.val() + '</td>' + 

							'<td>' + email.val() + '</td>' + 

							'<td>' + password.val() + '</td>' +

							'</tr>'); 

						$(this).dialog('close');

					}

				},

				Cancel: function() {

					$(this).dialog('close');

				}

			},

			close: function() {

				allFields.val('').removeClass('ui-state-error');

			}

		});




The CJavascript::encode method is printing my callback function in quotes, which is not good for it ;)

Here is what I have so far:




$this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array(

    'id'=>'school-inquiry-dialog',

    // additional javascript options for the dialog plugin

    'options'=>array(

        'title'=>"Contact {$schoolName}",

        'autoOpen'=>false,

        'modal'=>true,

        'show'=>'scale',

        'hide'=>'puff',

        'width'=>500,

        'minWidth'=>500,

        'height'=>300,

        'maxHeight'=>400,

        'buttons'=>array(

            'Create Account'=>'function() {}',

            'Cancel'=>"function() {\$(this).dialog('close');}",

        ),

    ),

));



If anyone can help me understand how to configure this widget, I would be grateful. Or, would it be better to just use the jQuery UI dialog widget directly?

Thanks in advance!

Try the ‘js:’ specification for the callbacks.




$this->beginWidget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiDialog', array(

    'id'=>'school-inquiry-dialog',

    // additional javascript options for the dialog plugin

    'options'=>array(

        'title'=>"Contact {$schoolName}",

        'autoOpen'=>false,

        'modal'=>true,

        'show'=>'scale',

        'hide'=>'puff',

        'width'=>500,

        'minWidth'=>500,

        'height'=>300,

        'maxHeight'=>400,

        'buttons'=>array(

            'Create Account'=>'js: function() {}', //<- NOTE THE js: AT THE BEGGININ

            'Cancel'=>'js: function() {$(this).dialog('close');}', //<- NOTE THE js: AT THE BEGGININ

        ),

    ),

));



That’s perfect - thanks!
