Server answer with javascript in inline editing mode?

edm

Hello,

is it possible, to answer an inline editing ajax request with javascript code (without the error "Reason: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data")?

Perhaps something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$("div#table_jobsopen_wrapper .buttonOpenJobsAssign").notify("Daten erfolgreich
 gespeichert", "success");
table_jobsassigned_1.row ("#jobgroup-1_jobId-4").remove ().draw (false);
table_jobsassigned_2.row.add ($("<tr id=\"jobgroup-2_jobId-4\">
<td class=\"pan\">PAN-221037<\/td>
<td class=\"jobNo\">156343<\/td>
<td class=\"customerName\">Testkunde 2<\/td>
...
<td class=\"avNote editable\">-<\/td>
<td class=\"jobgroupName editable\">Linie 2<\/td><\/tr>")[0]).draw (false);
</script>

It unexpectedly works :-), but shows the error message above .

The ajax option allows you to pass in a function, you can then decide whether to make a server call or local call.

See the last section of https://editor.datatables.net/reference/option/ajax

My config:

    editor_jobsassigned_2 = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor ({
        ajax: function (method, url, data, success, error) {
            $.ajax ({
                type: "POST",
                url:  "ajax.php",
                data: data,
                dataType: "json",
                success: function (json) {
                    success (json);
                },
                error: function (xhr, error, thrown) {
                    error (xhr, error, thrown);
                }
            });
        },
        table: "#table_jobsassigned_2",
        ...

This works:
data: data

But i am using the following, and that completly omits the sending of the parameter array (data):

data: {
    "action": "changeJobAssignedValues"
    },

array(
['action'] => 'changeJobAssignedValues'
)

And i got again the Error message from the editor: "Reason: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data".

Is there now way to bypass the editor error message?

Not really - Editor by default expects JSON in reply. Indeed, even in your own Ajax method you are telling it to expect JSON ( dataType: "json" ) and it sounds like the server is not returning with JSON.

The only way to bypass it would be to generate the JSON that Editor expects on the client-side and pass that into the success callback function.

But i am using the following, and that completly omits the sending of the parameter array (data):

Because you aren't submitting the parameters from Editor. You would need to do something like:

data: $.extend( data, { action: '...' } )
