Bootstrap-confirmation not respecting options

Just adding the bootstrap-confirmation extension for Bootstrap popover to some buttons on a project. I'm having issues with the options not being respected. I'm trying to get the popups to work as singletons and dismiss when the user clicks outside of them singleton and data-popout options, respectively - both set to true. I'm also not seeing any of my defined callback behavior happening.
I defined the options both in the HTML tags and in a function and neither works. Still getting multiple boxes and they don't dismiss as expected.
My JS is loaded after all other libraries and is in my custom.js file in my footer.
JS is as follows:
$(function() {
$('body').confirmation({
selector: '[data-toggle="confirmation"]',
singleton: true,
popout: true
});
$('.confirmation-callback').confirmation({
onConfirm: function() { alert('confirm') },
onCancel: function() { alert('cancel') }
});
});
An example of the box implemented on a button in my HTML is the following:
<a class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="confirmation" data-singleton="true" data-popout="true"><em class="fa fa-trash"></em></a>
Any pointers would be appreciated. I even changed the default options in the bootstrap-confirmation.js file itself to what I want and still no luck.

Turns out I needed to rearrange a couple things to get this to work. I've left in the last_clicked_id etc stuff as I needed to add that to get the id value of what I'd just clicked.
// Product removal popup logic
var last_clicked_id = null;
var last_clicked_product = null;
$('.btn.btn-danger.btn-confirm').click(function () {
last_clicked_id = $(this).data("id");
last_clicked_product = $(this).data("product");
});
$('.btn.btn-danger.btn-confirm').confirmation({
singleton: true,
popout: true,
onConfirm: function () {
alert("DEBUG: Delete confirmed for id : " + last_clicked_product);
// TODO: Add AJAX to wipe entry and refresh page
},
onCancel: function () {
alert("DEBUG: Delete canceled for id : " + last_clicked_product);
}
});
I was a step ahead of myself with the callback logic which was not getting executed. Fixed by simply adding it to onConfirm: and onCancel: key values in the .confirmation() function. A bit of a RTFM moment there but this was unfortunately not very clear in the documentation.

How to make a code reusable in jQuery?

In my WordPress' projects, I'm using the following code again and again for many of my fields where I'm using a button to initiate the WordPress media uploader and on selection of the file I'm sending its path/url to a text field.
var project_field_image_uploader;
$('#button-input').click( function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
//if the uploader object has already been created, reopen the dialog
if( project_field_image_uploader ) {
project_field_image_uploader.open();
return;
}
//extend the wp.media object
project_field_image_uploader = wp.media.frames.file_frame = wp.media( {
title:"Choose an image",
button:{
text: "Insert"
},
multiple: false
} );
//when a file is selected, grab the URL and set it as the text field's value
project_field_image_uploader.on( 'select', function() {
attachment = project_field_image_uploader.state().get('selection').first().toJSON();
$('#text-field').val(attachment.url);
});
//Open the uploader dialog
project_field_image_uploader.open();
});
For each of the field I need to edit the following things:
First variable - project_field_image_uploader (not necessarily it should be meaningful, it is only for creating different instances, so in a reusable way, it can be anything, but not conflicting)
Button's ID - $('#button-input')
Text field's ID - $('#text-field')
Media Library Modal's head - title:"Choose an image",
Media Library's Media Insertion button's text - text: "Insert"
Is there a way I can make this code reusable, so that I can be with DRY ideology? A jQuery function may do the job for me, but I cannot sort things out, how can I sort this thing.

<script>
$(function(){
$('#button-input').click(function(e){
var text_field = $('#text-field');
....................
var mytext = 'my text';
myfunc(e,project_field_image_uploader,text_field,mytitle,mytext);
});
//reuse with any other button click with different parameters
});
function myfunc(e,project_field_image_uploader,text_field,mytitle,mytext){
e.preventDefault();
//if the uploader object has already been created, reopen the dialog
if( project_field_image_uploader ) {
project_field_image_uploader.open();
return;
}
//extend the wp.media object
project_field_image_uploader = wp.media.frames.file_frame = wp.media( {
title:mytitle,
button:{
text: mytext
},
multiple: false
} );
//when a file is selected, grab the URL and set it as the text field's value
project_field_image_uploader.on( 'select', function() {
attachment = project_field_image_uploader.state().get('selection').first().toJSON();
text_field.val(attachment.url);
});
//Open the uploader dialog
project_field_image_uploader.open();
}
</script>

Thanks to #alamnaryab for his answer that directed me to the right way (+1 for that). But passing a variable as a function parameter was problematic. It produces an error:
project_field_image_uploader is not defined
I figured out things that, a variable need not to pass as a function parameter to be unique, because a variable inside a function is a local variable. So I simply called the variable inside the function and reused the function multiple times. I'm here posting the working example code.
And declaring multiple variables, I used comma with a single var declaration. There's no need to repeat things. Thanks again to Mr. Alam Naryab.
<script>
$(function(){
$('#button-input').click(function(e){
var text_field = $('#text-field'),
media_lib_head = 'Choose an image',
btn_text = 'Insert';
//using the function where necessary
project_reusable_repeating_func( e, text_field, media_lib_head, btn_text );
});
});
/**

var project_field_image_uploader;

if( project_field_image_uploader ) {
project_field_image_uploader.open();
return;

text_field.val(attachment.url);
});
//Open the uploader dialog

}

TinyMCE adding toggle style

I'm working on a TinyMCE plugin and one thing I want it to do is register commands/buttons that toggle custom formatting.
For example if you click the bold button in TinyMCE it will show the bold button highlighted while in bold text. Digging into the source code I see this happens via: tinymce.EditorCommands.addCommands thought I can't seem to figure out how to duplicate it. The documentation of TinyMCE is just horrible as well =(
So given customFormat I want to be able to have a button setup by my plugin that when the customFormat is applied it shows as such like the Bold, Italics, and other such buttons do on the toolbar. And clicking on my customFormat toggles that format on/off. I can easily accomplish the toogle via "addCommand" and "addButton" but then it does not have state tracking like Bold and others do.
Showing my current non-working attempt (this code is inside init of my plugin create method):
tinymce.EditorCommands.call('addCommands', {
'MyFormat' : function(name) {
ed.formatter.toggle("customFormat");
}
},'exec');
tinymce.EditorCommands.call('addCommands', {
'MyFormat' : function(name) {
return ed.formatter.match('customFormat');
}
},'state');
ed.addButton('customformat', {cmd : 'MyFormat'});
And here is the link to the "documentation" of addCommands:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/API3:method.tinymce.EditorCommands.addCommands
After a lot more looking around I found this which seems to be perfect:
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/API3:method.tinymce.Editor.addQueryStateHandler
But when I implement the code it doesn't change the state of the button:
ed.addCommand('MyFormat', function(ui, v) {
ed.formatter.toggle("thoughtFormat");
});
ed.addQueryStateHandler('MyFormat', function() {
return ed.formatter.match('thoughtFormat');
});
ed.addButton('myformat', {cmd : 'MyFormat'});

In case someone doesn't want to do it the 'plug-in' way, here's the guide for TinyMCE 4.x.
First of all, you need to define a custom format:
formats: {
custom_format: {inline: 'span', styles: {color: "red"}, attributes: {class: 'some_css_class'}}
}
Then you'll have to add a button to your toolbar:
toolbar: "mybutton",
Next, you need to setup your button, so that it toggles the format:
setup: function(editor) {
editor.addButton('mybutton', {
text: 'My button',
icon: false,
onclick: function() {
tinymce.activeEditor.formatter.toggle('custom_format')
}
});
}
Furthermore, if you want the editor to set the state of the button to indicate the format of current node, automatically, add this to setup function:
onPostRender: function() {
var ctrl = this;
editor.on('NodeChange', function(e) {
ctrl.active(e.element.className == "some_css_class")
});
}
Your tinymce.init function should look like this:
tinymce.init({
selector: "textarea",
formats: {
// Other formats...
custom_format: {inline: 'span', styles: {color: "red"}, attributes: {class: 'some_css_class'}}
}
// Other default toolbars
toolbar_n: "mybutton",
// Finally, setup your button
setup: function(editor) {
editor.addButton('mybutton', {
text: 'My Button',
icon: false,
onclick: function() {
tinymce.activeEditor.formatter.toggle('custom_format')
},
onPostRender: function() {
var ctrl = this;
editor.on('NodeChange', function(e) {
ctrl.active(e.element.className == "some_css_class")
});
}
});
}
Note that class attribute I added to my custom format. This approach made it possible for me define my custom styles in a separate stylesheet file and keep my markup as dry as possible (No inline styling!). Point content_css option to your stylesheet and you'll be good to go.
However, due to fact that I'm using Rails as back-end and BatmanJS as front-end (and I'm fairly new to the latter), I couldn't figure out how assets routing works, and ended up adding my custom styles to default content stylesheet file of tinyMCE skin itself (located at skins/SKIN_NAME/content.min.css).

Thanks to Thariama for insights that allowed me to dig deeper finally figuring out how to do this. I'm not sure its the "right way" but as I said TinyMCE has the worst documentation imaginable.
The key for me was to make an hook the onNodeChange event, using the setActive trick. Full example plugin with a custom button that activates when that format is present wherever the cursor is:
(function() {
tinymce.create('tinymce.plugins.CoolPlugin', {
init : function(ed, url) {
ed.addCommand('MyFormat', function(ui, v) {
ed.formatter.toggle("myFormat");
});
ed.addButton("coolformat", {
title : 'MyFormat Tooltip',
cmd : 'MyFormat',
image: url + '/coolformat.png',
});
ed.onNodeChange.add(function(ed, cm, n) {
active = ed.formatter.match('myFormat');
control = ed.controlManager.get('coolformat').setActive(active);
});
ed.onInit.add(function(ed, e) {
ed.formatter.register('myFormat',
{inline: 'span', classes : ['cool'] } );
});
}
});
// Register plugin
tinymce.PluginManager.add('cool', tinymce.plugins.CoolPlugin);
})();

Here is an example:
ed.controlManager.get('my_control_element').setActive(true); // could be bold or whatever

Redefining a jQuery dialog button

In our application we use a general function to create jQuery dialogs which contain module-specific content. The custom dialog consists of 3 buttons (Cancel, Save, Apply). Apply does the same as Save but also closes the dialog.
Many modules are still using a custom post instead of an ajax-post. For this reason I'm looking to overwrite/redefine the buttons which are on a specific dialog.
So far I've got the buttons, but I'm unable to do something with them. Is it possible to get the buttons from a dialog (yes, I know) but apply a different function to them?
My code so far:
function OverrideDialogButtonCallbacks(sDialogInstance) {
oButtons = $( '#dialog' ).dialog( 'option', 'buttons' );
console.log(oButtons); // logs the buttons correctly
if(sDialogInstance == 'TestInstance') {
oButtons.Save = function() {
alert('A new callback has been assigned.');
// code for ajax-post will come here.
}
}
}

$('#dialog').dialog({
'buttons' : {
'Save' : {
id:"btn-save", // provide the id, if you want to apply a callback based on id selector
click: function() {
//
},
},
}
});
Did you try this? to override button's callback based on the need.

No need to re-assign at all. Try this.
function OverrideDialogButtonCallbacks(dialogSelector) {
var button = $(dialogSelector + " ~ .ui-dialog-buttonpane")
.find("button:contains('Save')");
button.unbind("click").on("click", function() {
alert("save overriden!");
});
}
Call it like OverrideDialogButtonCallbacks("#dialog");
Working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/codovations/yzfVT/

You can get the buttons using $(..).dialog('option', 'buttons'). This returns an array of objects that you can then rewire by searching through them and adjusting the click event:
// Rewire the callback for the first button
var buttons = $('#dialog').dialog('option', 'buttons');
buttons[0].click = function() { alert('Click rewired!'); };
See this fiddle for an example: http://jsfiddle.net/z4TTH/2/
If necessary, you can check the text of the button using button[i].text.
UPDATE:
The buttons option can be one of two forms, one is an array as described above, the other is an object where each property is the name of the button. To rewire the click event in this instance it's necessary to update the buttons option in the dialog:
// Rewire the callback for the OK button
var buttons = $('#dialog').dialog('option', 'buttons');
buttons.Ok = function() { alert('Click rewired!'); };
$('#dialog').dialog('option', 'buttons', buttons);
See this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/z4TTH/3/

Can you try binding your new function code with Click event of Save?
if(sDialogInstance == 'TestInstance') {
$('#'+savebtn_id).click(function() {
alert('A new callback has been assigned.');
// code for ajax-post will come here.
});
}

How can I use jQuery and Javascript from firefox add-on?

I can't create a new element in the page. I check the page and domain when the page is onload, that's work, but I don't know how can I create a new element in the correct window page.
window.addEventListener("load", function() { myExtension.init(); }, false);
var myExtension = {
init: function() {
var appcontent = document.getElementById("appcontent"); // browser
if(appcontent)
appcontent.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", myExtension.onPageLoad, true);
},
onPageLoad: function(aEvent) {
var unsafeWin = aEvent.target.defaultView;
if (unsafeWin.wrappedJSObject) unsafeWin = unsafeWin.wrappedJSObject;
var locationis = new XPCNativeWrapper(unsafeWin, "location").location;
var hostis = locationis.host;
//alert(hostis);
if(hostis=='domain.com')
{
var pathnameis=locationis.pathname;
if(pathnameis=='/index.php')
{
$("#left .box:eq(0)").after('<div id="organic-tabs" class="box"></div>'); // this code somewhy doesn't working, but if I copy to FireBug it't work.
}
}
}
}
My question is: How can I use Javascript and jQuery from firefox addon when I want to manipulate html in the correct window content? What is need from here
$("#left .box:eq(0)").after('<div id="organic-tabs" class="box"></div>');
for working.

This code has a bunch of issues. For one, appcontent is not the browser, gBrowser is. So it should be:
init: function() {
gBrowser.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", myExtension.onPageLoad, true);
},
Then, using wrappedJSObject is absolutely unnecessary (and also not safe the way you do it).
var wnd = aEvent.target.defaultView;
var locationis = wnd.location;
Finally, you are trying to select an element in the browser document (the document that your script is running in), not in the document loaded into the tab. You need to give jQuery an explicit context to work on:
$("#left .box:eq(0)", wnd.document)
But you shouldn't use jQuery like that, it defines a number of global variables that might conflict with other extensions. Instead you should call jQuery.noConflict() and create an alias for jQuery within myExtension:
var myExtension = {
$: jQuery.noConflict(true),
....
myExtension.$("#left .box:eq(0)", wnd.document)

Here is a template you can use that incorporates your sample code. I also added an additional statement so you could see another use of jQuery. Important points:
You must load jQuery before you can use it. You should myplace the jQuery library file you want to use in Chrome, for example, in the chrome/content directory.
Use window.content.document as the context for every jQuery
operation on the contents of the Web page
Use this as the context of a successful search result to help you
insert code in the correct spot.
window.addEventListener('load', myExtension.init, false);
var myExtension = {
jq : null,
init : function() {
var app;
// Load jQuery
var loader = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/moz/jssubscript-loader;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.mozIJSSubScriptLoader);
loader.loadSubScript("chrome://myExtension/content/jquery-1.5.2.min.js");
myExtension.jq = jQuery.noConflict();
// Launch extension
if ((app = document.getElementById("appcontent"))) {
app.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", myExtension.run, true);
}
},
run : function() {
// make sure this is the correct Web page to change
var href = event.originalTarget.location.href;
if (href && href.match(/http:\/\/(www\.)?domain\.com\/(index\.php)/i)) {
changeScreen();
}
},
changeScreen : function() {
// make changes to the screen
// note the "window.content.document) in the first jQuery selection
myExtension.jq("#left .box:eq(0)", window.content.document).after('');
// note the use of "this" to use the search results as the context
myExtension.jq("#right", window.content.document).each(function() {
myExtension.jq("tr td", this).append('MATCH!');
});
}
}
