post kendo editor value as html rich text - kendo-ui

I have noticed a problem with Kendo ui editot when posting (via ajax) editor.value() rich html text to the server.
when posting a few lines with html design -> in the server I get only the first line until the first '&nbsp'.
$("#emailTxtEditor").kendoEditor({
//encoded: false,
resizable: true
});
for instance I take This Sample and after designing some text the post missing lot's of the html content...
ps, in the server there is no model becuase i don't save this content.
How can resolve this issue ?

You can do something like this:
$("#emailTxtEditor").kendoEditor(
{
tools:
[
"bold",
"italic",
.....
],
messages: {
bold: "Bold",
italic: "Italic",
underline: "Underline",
....
},
encoded: false,
keyup: function () {
$("#YourTextbox").val(encodeURIComponent($("#emailTxtEditor").data("kendoEditor").value())),
$("#YourTextbox").focusin()
},
change: function () {
$("#YourTextbox").val(encodeURIComponent($("#emailTxtEditor").data("kendoEditor").value())),
$("#YourTextbox").focusin()
}
})
And in controller:
var emailContent = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(Email.EmailContent);//Email is model (for ex)

Export to PDF increase number of items per page

I have a grid control which I wish to export the content of. Upon initialisation, the pageSize attribute is set to 10 items however I want to increase the number of items per page during exportToPDF.
I have tried to modify the pageSize of the dataSource prior to carrying out the export but this seems to have no effect on the end product.
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var filter = grid.dataSource.filter;
grid.dataSource.query({
filter: filter,
pageSize: 20, // has no effect on the exported PDF
page: 1,
group: [{
field: "groupField1",
dir: "asc"
}, {
field: "groupField2",
dir: "asc"
}, {
field: "groupField3",
dir: "asc"
}]
});
var progress = $.Deferred();
grid._drawPDF(progress)
.then(function (root) {
return kendo.drawing.exportPDF(root, { forcePageBreak: ".page-break", multiPage: true });
})
.done(function (dataURI) {
// ... do some manual manipulation of dataURI
kendo.saveAs({
dataURI: manipualtedDataURI
});
progress.resolve();
Is there something I am missing so I can display more items on each page of the PDF export?
EDIT
Including my grid definition with the pdfExport function suggested by the below answer (which never gets called):
var grid = $("#reportGrid").kendoGrid({
pdf: {
allPages: true,
avoidLinks: true,
repeatHeaders: true,
template: kendo.template($("#page-template").html()),
scale: 0.7,
margin: { top: "2.5cm", right: "1cm", bottom: "1.5cm", left: "1cm" },
paperSize: "A4",
landscape: true
},
// *this function is not getting called*
pdfExport: function(e) {
e.sender.dataSource.pageSize(10);
e.promise.done(function() {
e.sender.dataSource.pageSize(20);
});
},
toolbar: kendo.template($("#template").html()),
...
});
Note: A template is used to include a header / footer on each page of the PDF export.
Another note: 'Manual manipulation of dataURI' includes going out to the server to perform a merge with another PDF file, so I cannot use the default export via the grid :(
EDIT 2
I have extended the Dojo example from #R.K.Saini's answer to use the method by which I need to generate the PDF export (as per original post).
The snippet logs the URI of the grid being exported and when the pdfExport function is called. As you will see, when using the built in grid 'Export to PDF' button, the pdfExport function is triggered but when using the additional button below the grid, it is not.
You can use pdfExport event to change page size of your grid datasource before pdf export started and then when the export finish you just need to revert back the previous page size.
The call back function of this event receive grid instance as e.sender and and a promise as e.promise which can be used to set back the page size when exporting finish.
For more info check http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#events-pdfExport
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: dataSource,
pdf: {
allPages: true
},
pdfExport: function(e) {
e.sender.dataSource.pageSize(10);
e.promise.done(function() {
e.sender.dataSource.pageSize(20);
});
},
...
//Other configguration
});
Here is a working demo http://dojo.telerik.com/UzOXO
Edit
You can also change grid page size in your custom export function just change grid page size before calling _drawPdf() function and change it back when done.
$("#btnPdfExport").kendoButton({
click: function () {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var progress = $.Deferred();
// Change grid datasource pagesize before calling _drawPDF
grid.dataSource.pageSize(20);
grid._drawPDF(progress)
.then(function (root) {
return kendo.drawing.exportPDF(root, { forcePageBreak: ".page-break", multiPage: true });
})
.done(function (dataURI) {
console.log("Exporting " + dataURI);
kendo.saveAs({
dataURI: dataURI,
fileName: "export.pdf"
});
progress.resolve();
// Change grid datasource pagesize when done
grid.dataSource.pageSize(10);
});
}
});

jQuery UI, AJAX and CKEditor - CKEditor only loads the first time

I'm having an issue similar to the issues reported both here and here, with a only a few changes in how my form data is loaded.
The solution provided in the second link seemingly resolves my issue, but removing the show/hide scaling effects should not be required in order for CKEditor to instantiate properly. There's bound to be a much better alternative to resolving this conflict.
My issue:
When I open my page, and click the edit button, a jQueryUI Dialog pops up, loads its data via ajax, and then I attempt to replace the textarea added to the dialog with a CKEditor instance. The first time I load the page, the dialog works without a hitch. I'm able to modify the data within the editor, save my form data, and get on with life. However, if I close the dialog, then open it again, the editor is no longer enabled. The buttons still have hover effects, and are clickable, but do nothing. The text area of the editor is disabled and set to "style: visibility: hidden; display: none;". Nearly all the information I can find regarding this issue is from many years ago, and the fixes involve using functions/techniques that no longer exist or are applicable.
Control Flow
I open the page containing a text link 'Edit Update', which calls my Javascript function openEditTicketUpdateDialog.
function openEditTicketUpdateDialog(tup_id, url)
{
simplePost(null, url, new Callback
(
function onSuccess(data)
{
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog('option', 'buttons',
[
{
text: 'Save Edits',
click: function()
{
// Save the Update info
var formData = {
tup_update: CKEDITOR.instances.tup_update_edit.getData(),
tup_internal: +$('#tup_internal_edit').is(":checked"),
tup_important: +$('#tup_important_edit').is(":checked")
};
simplePost(formData, data['submitRoute'], new Callback
(
function onSuccess(data)
{
$('#update-' + tup_id).html(data.input['tup_update']);
$('#updateflags-' + tup_id).html(data.flags);
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog('close');
},
function onFail(errors)
{
console.log(errors);
}
));
}
},
{
text: 'Cancel',
click: function()
{
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
]);
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog('option', 'title', data['title']);
$('#editticketupdatedialog').html(data['view']);
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog('open');
destroyEditor('tup_update_edit');
console.log('CKEDITOR.status: ' + CKEDITOR.status);
createEditor('tup_update_edit');
},
function onFail(errors)
{
console.log(errors);
}
));
}
This function uses three helper functions, simplePost, destroyEditor and createEditor.
function simplePost(data, url, callback)
{
post(data, url, true, false, callback);
}
function createEditor(name)
{
console.log('Create editor: ' + name);
console.log('Current Instance: ');
console.log(CKEDITOR.instances.name);
if (CKEDITOR.status == 'loaded')
{
CKEDITOR.replace(name,
{
customConfig: '/js/ckeditor/custom/configurations/standard_config.js'
});
}
else
{
CKEDITOR.on('load', createEditor(name));
CKEDITOR.loadFullCore && CKEDITOR.loadFullCore();
}
console.log('After instance created: ');
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances.name;
console.log(instance);
}
function destroyEditor(name)
{
console.log('Destroy editor: ' + name);
console.log('Current Instance: ');
console.log(CKEDITOR.instances.name);
if (CKEDITOR.instances.name)
{
console.log('Instance exists - destroying...');
CKEDITOR.instances.name.destroy();
$('#' + name).off().remove();
}
console.log('After instance removed: ');
var instance = CKEDITOR.instances.name;
console.log(instance);
}
This method of creating a CKEditor instance was gathered from here. This method of destroying a CKEditor instance was gathered from here.
As you can see, openEditTicketUpdateDialog fires an AJAX call to my getEditUpdateForm function through Laravel routes.
public function getEditUpdateForm($tup_id, $update_number)
{
$update = Update::find($tup_id);
$data = [
'title' => 'Editing update #' . $update_number . ' of ticket #' . $update->tup_ticket,
'view' => View::make('tickets.ticketupdate-edit')
->with('update', $update)
->render(),
'submitRoute' => route('tickets/update/submit', $tup_id)
];
return Response::json(array('status' => 1, 'data' => $data));
}
From here, a status of 1 is returned, and the onSuccess function is called. I've attempted to add the create/delete calls before the $('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog('open'); call, but to no avail. I've also tried multiple other solutions that I've found surfacing, which involve hacked implementations of jQueryUI's Dialog functions and attributes: _allowInteraction and moveToTop. I was originally successful in resolving this issue the first time it arose by calling this function before doing a CKEDITOR.replace:
function enableCKEditorInDialog()
{
$.widget( "ui.dialog", $.ui.dialog, {
/**
* jQuery UI v1.11+ fix to accommodate CKEditor (and other iframed content) inside a dialog
* #see http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9087
* #see http://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/10269
*/
_allowInteraction: function( event ) {
return this._super( event ) ||
// addresses general interaction issues with iframes inside a dialog
event.target.ownerDocument !== this.document[ 0 ] ||
// addresses interaction issues with CKEditor's dialog windows and iframe-based dropdowns in IE
!!$( event.target ).closest( ".cke_dialog, .cke_dialog_background_cover, .cke" ).length;
}
});
}
After updating to Laravel 5, and making a few other changes serverside, this fix no longer works. I have been successful in resolving my issue by removing the show/hide properties from my dialog. I would very much prefer not to have to remove these properties, as half the reasoning for having the dialog is the aesthetics of an animation. Here is my dialog initialization.
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog({
modal: true,
draggable: false,
minWidth: 722,
autoOpen: false,
show:
{
effect: "scale",
duration: 200
},
hide:
{
effect: "scale",
duration: 200
},
closeOnEscape: true
});
When I have these animations enabled, the first time I use the dialog, it works perfectly. The second time, I receive the error TypeError: this.getWindow(...).$ is undefined - ckeditor.js:83:18 in the JS console, which refers to this line:
function(a)
{
var d = this.getWindow().$.getComputedStyle(this.$,null);
return d ? d.getPropertyValue(a) : ""
}
Recap
My main goal here is to find a fix for this issue, without having to remove the jQueryUI Dialog animation. I am unsure whom to point fingers at, as I really can't determine if the issue lies in CKEditor, jQueryUI or my implementation.
I finally found a solution that works in my case. losnir updated the outdated solution to a post here, and adding the open function to my dialog initialization resolved my issue.
My initialization is as follows:
$('#editticketupdatedialog').dialog({
modal: true,
draggable: false,
minWidth: 722,
autoOpen: false,
show:
{
effect: "scale",
duration: 200
},
hide:
{
effect: "scale",
duration: 200
},
closeOnEscape: true,
open: function()
{
$(this).parent().promise().done(function ()
{
destroyEditor('tup_update_edit');
console.log('CKEDITOR.status: ' + CKEDITOR.status);
createEditor('tup_update_edit');
});
}
});

CKEditor toolbar close button right align

I want to add a close a button in CK Editor (v4.4) and want to align it right, below screen shot shows the end product.
With the help of documentation from CKEditor website I was able to create a simple close plugin. With the help of little jQuery hack I am able align it right but if possible I would like to align it using standard toolbar creation approach rather then below hack.
Current working hack
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var rteComment = CKEDITOR.replace("txtPluginDemo", {
toolbar: [
['NumberedList', '-', 'Image'],
['Save'],
['CKClose'],
],
toolbarCanCollapse: false,
allowedContent: 'p img ol br',
disallowedContent: 'script',
extraAllowedContent: 'img[*]{*}(*)',
extraPlugins: 'ckclose',
image_previewText: "Image preview will be displayed here.",
disableNativeSpellChecker: false,
//If true <p></p> will be converted to <p>&nbsp,</p>
fillEmptyBlocks: true,
removePlugins: 'contextmenu,liststyle,tabletools',
skin: 'moonocolor',
});
rteComment.on("close", function (evt) {
alert("Ok time to close it.");
return true;
});
rteComment.on("instanceReady", function (evt) {
//THIS IS HACK
$(".cke_button__ckclose").closest(".cke_toolbar").css({ "float": "right" });
});
})
</script>
I am hoping that there will be some option in the below code which will let me specify the my css class here.
CKEDITOR.plugins.add('ckclose', {
// Register the icons. They must match command names.
icons: 'ckclose',
// The plugin initialization logic goes inside this method.
init: function (editor) {
// Define an editor command that inserts a timestamp.
editor.addCommand('closeEditor', {
// Define the function that will be fired when the command is executed.
exec: function (editor) {
if (editor.fire("close")) {
editor.destroy();
}
}
});
// Create the toolbar button that executes the above command.
editor.ui.addButton('CKClose', {
label: 'Discard changes and close the editor',
command: 'closeEditor',
toolbar: 'insert'
});
}
});
Below image is the Inspect Element View from Firefox.
I got help from the above answer slightly change the code its worked for me
CKEDITOR.on("instanceReady", function (evt) {
$(".cke_button__custom").closest(".cke_toolbar").css({ "float": "right" });
});
"custom" is my button name. Thank you,
You can put this piece
rteComment.on("instanceReady", function (evt) {
$(".cke_button__ckclose").closest(".cke_toolbar").css({ "float": "right" });
});
rignt inside
init: function( editor ) {
(e.g., before its closing bracket). That should be enough.
Also, you don't need to put initialization info in a SCRIPT tag of your main file. It can be cleaner to use config.js

Extjs create dynamic accordion using store

I'm beginning development of an app in extjs. I'm using the MVC approach, as provided in the extjs documentation.
I have some dynamic data which needs to present the user with a set of accordion controls. I've got the data in a store, but I do not know how to dynamically create the accordion items (unlike grid panels, there doesn't appear to be a store data method).
Here is my current accordion view code - with static items:
Ext.define('BP.view.induction.LeftPage', {
extend: 'Ext.Panel',
alias : 'widget.leftpage',
title: "Left Page",
layout: {
type: 'accordion',
align: 'stretch'
},
layoutConfig: {
// layout-specific configs go here
titleCollapse: true,
animate: true,
activeOnTop: true
},
items: [{
xtype: 'panel', // fake hidden panel, so all appear collapsed
hidden: true,
collapsed: false
},{
xtype: 'panel',
title: 'Panel 1',
html: 'Panel content!'
},{
xtype: 'panel',
title: 'Panel 2',
html: 'Panel content!'
},{
xtype: 'panel',
title: 'Panel 3',
html: 'Panel content!'
}]
});
Any guidance on how to achieve the above would be appreciated, thank you.
[Edit] In response to sra's request, here is my controller:
Ext.define('BP.controller.Induction', {
extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',
views: [
'induction.Binder'
],
stores: [
'Sections',
'Categories',
'Tasks'
],
init: function() {
console.log('Initialized Induction!');
}
});
I should note here that this controller loads a parent view, which in turn loads the LeftPage view - I'm not sure if this creates any scoping issues. Furthermore, as you can see, more than one store is loaded.
You can do like this (untested example with some tweaks)
Ext.define('BP.view.induction.LeftPage', {
extend: 'Ext.Panel',
alias : 'widget.leftpage',
title: "Left Page",
layout: null,
layoutConfig: null,
store: null,
attentive: true,
initComponent: function() {
var me = this;
// begin edit
// only set the store if is is not already defined
me.store = me.store ? me.store : Ext.StoreMgr.lookup('Sections'); // you may change this to any storename you want
// end edit
me.layout = { // don't set objects directly in class definitions
type: 'accordion',
align: 'stretch'
};
me.layoutConfig = { // dont set objects directly in class definitions
titleCollapse: true,
animate: true,
activeOnTop: true
};
me.callParent(arguments);
if (me.attentive) {
me.store('load', me.onRebuildContent, me);
if (me.store.count() == 0)
me.store.load();
} else {
me.buildContent();
}
},
buildContent: function() {
var me = this;
function addItem(rec) {
me.add({
xtype: 'panel',
title: rec.get('titleProperty'),
html: rec.get('bodyProprty')
});
};
me.store.each(addItem);
},
onRebuildContent: function() {
var me = this;
me.removeAll();
me.buildContent();
}
});
Your store will need at least two properties; one for the title and one for the content. And the store need to be loaded before you should instantiate this. But that can easily be done within your controller.
Edit based on comment and new OP info:
Well your view is a bit out of control of the controller. So I recommend you to simply use the StoreManager to receive a valid instance (I've edited the code, I just didn'T know the correct store to use). The StoreManager will know about the store as long as you list him within a controller (StoreManager is capable of much more, but that is all you need to know at the moment). For a further release you could also use the mixin bindable which would manage a storebinding more clean and enables you to update your accordion after the store receives new data (get updated)
Edit for readability
I've just cleaned it up a bit and included a switch param attentive which would allow you to use this component as directly bound to a store, reacting on all load events or as a sort of static one where the store should already be loaded. All in all this should give you a start without making it to complex.
