Call Js Function Form Php

[reyes99]

Hello all,

 

I have this javascript that I am calling when I push a button. I want to load the popup programatically not by a button event.

 

in popup.js I have the following function that loads the popup.

 

//LOADING POPUP
//Click the button event!
$("#button").click(function(){
//centering with css
centerPopup();
//load popup
loadPopup();
});

 

My question is how do I load the popup from a php script by assigning a variable. for example

 

<?php
if ($loadpup = 'yes') {
load the popup ( what command can I use that will activate the popup??)
}
?>

 

Thanks in advance

You need to look into AJAX.

Either use $_GET or $_POST, then with jQuery (or you can use $.ajax) but with jquery it's $.load() or $.post()

 

Check that a post or get var isset() or you can use the same var with multiple values. Up to you.

 

If you were talking about triggering a JS function inside of PHP, then you're going at it backwards. JS is client-sided after the site content has been downloaded to the browser. It doesn't interact with the server any more than posting or getting a page from the same domain.

Thanks guys, looks like I have to do some more research.

Hmm, what? All three of those are jQuery. In-fact, the last two are short-cuts for jQuery.ajax.

You can alternatively just include ajax though, can't you? Pretty sure it's what I used to do before I actually started using jQuery much.

 

Eh, maybe I just remember it as part of the URL. Idk it was too long ago. When I finally started using jQuery I never went back to using $.ajax so sorry if I was mistaken there.

As far as I'm aware, you can't create custom builds of the core. Only the UI extension allows you to do that.

Well, atleast I learned something new. (:
