Docs Enhancement: Plugins with dynamic URLs

[Rodney Rehm]

Hi there,

haven't been able to upgrade to 3.1, yet. So this is in regard to FCKEditor 2.6.x:

The docs don't offer any way to deal with dynamic URLs of dialogs. I had to load some data depending on the value of a <select> outside of FCKEditor.

since FCKDialogCommand( command, title, url, width, height ) won't accept a function(){} as url, I built this little wrapper. The charme's with toValue and toString:

var _theDynamicURL = new (function(){
  function getURL()
  {
    return FCKPlugins.Items['thingie'].Path + 'script.php?external=' +  
top.document.getElementById( 'selectThingie' ).value;
  }
  this.toValue = this.toString = getURL;
});

FCKCommands.RegisterCommand( 'thingie', new FCKDialogCommand( 'thingie', 'My Thingie', _theDynamicURL, 440, 440 ) ) ;

Might be worth mentioning on the plugins help page?

Keep up the really great work!

Since FCKeditor is no longer supported and was replaced with CKEditor, active development of the MediaWiki extension and support for it are also finished.

I’m closing this ticket as it is no longer valid.
