Before diving in, I dedicated a significant amount of time to exploring this insightful discussion: How can I fetch the response from an asynchronous call?
Within my code, there's a static variable named "d" which is essentially a 2-dimensional array:
var d = [
["05_001","05_002","05_003","05_004","05_005"],
["05_006","05_007","05_008","05_009","05_010"]
];
The goal here is to leverage AJAX to pull data from a database instead.
An attempt was made using this approach:
function foo(callback) {
return $.ajax({
url: 'emoji.php?cat=emoticons_activity',
success: callback
});
}
var result;
foo(function(response) {
result = response;
alert(result);
});
However, even with that workaround, a roadblock emerges as it's imperative to assign the value returned by the "foo" function to the variable "d".
This puzzle needs to be solved within the context of another block of code:
tinymce.PluginManager.add("emoticons_travel_places", function(a, b) {
function c() {
var a;
return a = '<table role="list" class="mce-grid">', tinymce.each(d, function(c) {
a += "<tr>", tinymce.each(c, function(c) {
var d = b + "/img/" + c + ".svg";
a += '<td><a href="#" data-mce-url="' + d + '" data-mce-alt="' + c + '" tabindex="-1" role="option" aria-label="' + c + '"><img src="' + d + '" style="width:30px; height:30px" role="presentation" /></a></td>'
}), a += "</tr>"
}), a += "</table>"
}
var d = [
["05_001","05_002","05_003","05_004","05_005","05_006","05_007","05_008","05_009","05_010","05_011","05_012","05_013","05_014","05_015","05_016","05_017","05_018","05_019","05_020"],
["05_021","05_022","05_023","05_024","05_025","05_026","05_027","05_028","05_029","05_030","05_031","05_032","05_033","05_034","05_035","05_036","05_037","05_038","05_039","05_040"],
["05_041","05_042","05_043","05_044","05_045","05_046","05_047","05_048","05_049","05_050","05_051","05_052","05_053","05_054","05_055","05_056","05_057","05_058","05_059","05_060"],
["05_061","05_062","05_063","05_064","05_065","05_066","05_067","05_068","05_069","05_070","05_071","05_072","05_073","05_074","05_075","05_076","05_077","05_078","05_079","05_080"],
["05_081","05_082","05_083","05_084","05_085","05_086","05_087","05_088","05_089","05_090","05_091","05_092","05_093","05_094","05_095","05_096","05_097","05_098","05_099","05_100"],
["05_101","05_102","05_103","05_104","05_105","05_106","05_107","05_108","05_109","05_110","05_111","05_112","05_113","05_114","05_115"]
];
a.addButton("emoticons_travel_places", {
type: "panelbutton",
panel: {
role: "application",
autohide: !0,
html: c,
onclick: function(b) {
var c = a.dom.getParent(b.target, "a");
c && (a.insertContent('<img src="' + c.getAttribute("data-mce-url") + '" width="30" height="30" alt="' + c.getAttribute("data-mce-alt") + '" />'), this.hide())
}
},
tooltip: "Emoticons - Travel & Places"
})
});
The objective is to replace the existing var d = ... part with the output of the AJAX request.
Rewriting the entire block isn't viable due to its integration into the TinyMCE plugin system.
Progress feels within reach, yet challenges persist after days of intermittent troubleshooting efforts.
