Bootbox Dialog Form

Looking to implement a functionality where a Bootbox dialog pops up with an "OK" button. Upon clicking the "OK" button, it should initiate a POST request, sending back the ID of the message to acknowledge that the user has read it. The Bootbox dialog functions as the form for this action. Struggling to find a method to integrate hidden fields into the dialog buttons in order to achieve my desired outcome.

Answer №1

Special thanks to the valuable insights provided by Isabel Inc and Mistalis, which resulted in a successful solution.

Here are some key points regarding my unique approach:

  • I have made the images within the messages responsive by incorporating relevant Bootstrap classes for each image.
  • The messages may contain links, and clicking on a link is treated as equivalent to clicking "OK" on the dialog.

Now, let's delve into the JavaScript code that brings this functionality to life...

jQuery(function($, window, bootbox, undefined) {
    var accept = function(callback) {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            data: {message_id: 244826},
            success: callback()
        });
    };

    var $message = $('<p><img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/80fa81938a6d1df92cd101d7fe997a71" alt></p><p>Here is a message from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/244826/sonny">Sonny</a>.</p>');
    $message.find('img').addClass('img-responsive center-block');
    $message.find('a').on('click', function(e) {
        var href = $(this).attr('href');
        if (0 === href.length) {
            return;
        }
        e.preventDefault();
        accept(function() { window.location.href = href; });
    });

    bootbox.dialog({
        message: $message,
        closeButton: false,
        buttons: {
            accept: {
                label: 'OK',
                callback: function() {
                    accept(function() { window.location.reload(); });
                }
            }
        }
    });
}(jQuery, window, bootbox));
