Im developing a ps module wich let you classidy the product attachment in categories an display them in the front product page.
Im using a draggable list with the attachment, and when you dropp them to the category it turns to an option tag, each category has a select tag where to drop the attachment.
I wanna save the attachments and the category where they was dropped, so I thought make an ajax call to bring the data to my module class but I'm new with ajax and cant approach it.
this is wha I've made:
the js code (inside the proper .tpl):
$( ".droptrue" ).droppable({
drop: function( event, ui ) {
//add <option> tag when an attachment is dropped to category's select
$(event.target).append('<option value="' + ui.draggable.attr('id') + '" selected>'+ui.draggable.text()+'</option>');
//remove the <li> wich contained the attachment data
ui.draggable.fadeOut("slow").remove();
var val = $('#categoryAttachmentArr').val();
var tab = val.split(',');
// for (var i=0; i < tab.length; i++)
// if (tab[i] == $(this).val())
// return false;
//create an array with the next format: 'id_category(1)'-'id_attachment(1)','id_category(2)'-'id_attachment(2)'[....]
//the comma will be the main character that will be splitted
$('#categoryAttachmentArr').val(val + ui.doppable.attr('id') + '-' + ui.draggable.attr('id') +',');
}
});
$('#submitAddProduct').click(function(e){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: baseDir + 'modules/adjuntos/classes/CategoryAttachment.php',
data: {
ajax: true,
action: \'CategoryArray\',
cat_array: $('#categoryAttachmentArray').val(),
}
dataType: 'json',
success: function(json) {
console.log($('#categoryAttachmentArray').val());
}
});
})
$( ".ui-state-default" ).draggable({
revert: "valid",
});
And my class:
class CategoryAttachment extends Objectmodel
{
//other functions
public function ajaxProcessCategoryArray()
{
$CategoryAttachmentArr = Tools::getValue('cat_array')
}
}
