Question

AJAX Inline Editing: Add PHP Update to new changes

Answer 1

A:

As it says on the edit-in-page page you should be using that code within a script block. So you pretty much had it. The following should work (untested).

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function($){
        $('h2.editableText, p.editableText').editableText({
            newlinesEnabled: false
        });

        $.editableText.defaults.newlinesEnabled = true;

        $('div.editableText').editableText();

        //  bind an event listener that will be called when
        //  user saves changed content
        $('.editableText').change(function(){
             var newValue = $(this).html();

             // do something
             // For example, you could place an AJAX call here:
            $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "update_handler.php",
              data: "newfieldvalue=" + newValue,
              success: function(msg){
                alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
              }
           });
        });

    });
</script>

+1 A:

Hi. I have questions for you:

$menuID contains the id of something and you use it to fetch it from table by this ID. It's right?

If it's right you must pass this ID to the PHP handler page.

Example:

index.php:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
    $('h2.editableText, p.editableText').editableText({
        newlinesEnabled: false
    });

    $.editableText.defaults.newlinesEnabled = true;

    $('div.editableText').editableText();

    $('.editableText').change(function(){
        var newValue = $(this).html();

        // important code:
          $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "save.php",
          data: { val : newValue, key:$(this).parent().tagName, id:$(this).parent().attr('class')},
          success: function(msg){
            alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
          }
       });

    });

});
</script>

and body part:

<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
    <?php 
    $isnull = getContent($menuID, "title");
    if ($isnull != "") {

    echo "<h2 class=\"editableText\"><center><p>" . getContent($menuID, "title") . "</p></center></h2><br>";
    } else {
        null;
    }
    ?>

    <div class="editableText">

<p class="<?php echo $menuID?>"><?php echo getContent($menuID, "maincontent");?></p>
        </div>
    </script>
    <?php

    mysql_close($connection);
?>

and one more, save.php:

<?php

# content that you send from client; you must save to maincontent
$content=$_POST['val'];

# $from=='div' if it from maincontent or $from=='center' if it from title
$from=$_POST['key'];


# id of your post 
$id=$_POST['id'];

    #here you can save your content;
?>
