Given a structure like this:
<div class="portlet">
<div class="portlet-config">
<p>Some configuration</p>
</div>
<div class="portlet-header">Configurable portlet</div>
<div class="portlet-content">This has a configuration window. Click on pencil icon to open.</div>
</div>
First, I append these DIVs to portlet-header (to display some buttons)
<div class="portlet-button-container">
<div class="portlet-button portlet-btn-delete ui-icon ui-icon-close"></div>
<div class="portlet-button portlet-btn-toggle ui-icon ui-icon-minusthick"></div>
<div class="portlet-button portlet-btn-config ui-icon ui-icon-pencil"></div>
</div>
Then I apply a jquery-ui dialog()
plugin to the portlet-config
DIVs
$(".portlet-config").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
show: {
effect: "fade",
duration: 200
},
hide: {
effect: "fade",
duration: 500
},
modal: true,
buttons: {
Ok: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
Then I add come click handlers
$(".portlet-btn-toggle").click(function () {
var icon = $(this);
icon.toggleClass("ui-icon-minusthick ui-icon-plusthick");
icon.closest(".portlet").find(".portlet-content").toggle();
});
$(".portlet-btn-delete").click(function () {
var icon = $(this);
icon.closest(".portlet").hide();
});
$(".portlet-btn-config").click(function () {
var icon = $(this);
icon.closest(".portlet").find(".portlet-config").dialog("open");
});
It seems that the portlet-config
DIV could not be found when the user clicks on the pencil.
More precisely it seems that:
$(this) // OK, returns an object
$(this).closest(".portlet") // OK, returns an object
$(this).closest(".portlet").find(".portlet-config") // NOK, returns null
