How to add Custom code to a component/admin view?

[Nico van de Kamp]

Hello,

I have a few questions which I try to find out, but till now I did not succeed.

I have component with three admin views:

• Department
• Employee
• DepartmentEmployee
  

These works for me fine.

First question:

But now I want to change the detail view of DepartmentEmployee but at which place do I need to add the code.

I hav add this peace of code: {echo "Add PHP (custom document script) *<br/>";} at the part "Add PHP (custom document script) *". But that is added at the method "setDocument".

So I thought I create a peace HTML of custom code.

• But how can I add these, I mean what is the syntax of the call?
• Where do I add or where can I put this call so that this part is added at the end of the detail DepartmentEmployee? 

Second question:

At the end of these detail page I want to do somenting with dataTables. Where do I put these library  in the JCB so that it is not lost when I compile the component again. :

{

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/DataTables/datatables.css">

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="/DataTables/datatables.js"></script>}

Best regards,

Nico

I would like to second the request made by Nico on dataTables code insertion. I use it extensively in projects currently not made with JCB and would like to know how to integrate this in JCB in the best possible way.

Thank you and best regards,

Erik.

Greetings Nico

Most of the time if I want to add custom HTML to an Admin_edit_view I will use a note (text field) to do so. Yet JCB does allow for custom HTML to be added as a whole complete independent Tab in the view.

So adding a Note text field gives you the power to write text above or below other fields in the view. But if you want to do something more major you can add your own whole tab (in the adminview -> settings tab -> look for Admin custom tab)

Hope this helps, let me know.

Hello Nico,

Referring to your second question, if you want your own external file(s) included in compiled component package, you have to use JCB’s custom folder (look for video instruction on how to use it because this is the key you are looking for), then you can add your custom php code to include them in the view (Add PHP (custom document script) ):

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();

$doc->addStyleSheet($urlToYourStyleSheet);

$doc->addScript($urlToYourJavaFile);

Hope it helps.

Best regards!

Hello,

Thanks for you're reaction.

Maybe I don't understand you're comment, but I'm satisfied about my detail screen so far. If do "new" than I can create a new record for the DepartmentEmployee table (admin  view). That is working with a dropdown for the employee's and I can select one. But I want to change this specific part around the employee so that it works as I think it should work for me (with dataTables).

The second part I want to change is the dropdown selection for department I want to change that with PHPAjax.

I can add code by myself at the setDocument function (or on another place) but than it is lost if I compile it again. I'm losing the power of JCB.

From my point of view feeling, I don't need a new Tab in the view. Or I do not understand how it is working also not after watching the video JCB custom folder.

I saw in one of the video tutorials that there are some free example projects/components, like the demo project. Unforunately I could not find these.

Are there more examples like demo project, so that I can see how things are configured, and need the be done and why things are done and more important WHEN things need to be done.

Best regards,

Nico

Hi Nico,

did you get this to work finally? I had used footables but would rather want to use datatables instead and I have gone through the advice on how to integrate custom libs which I did with data tables. In the resulting header of my site view in which I want to use datatables I see that it's loaded, but I always get the error 

Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function

from the line

$(document).ready(function() {...

when I want to call the datatable function.

I even isolated all in standalone html files trying many variations but I don't get it work. Any idea?

Have you tried to substitute the $ with "jQuery"?

I'm not sure how this is in the backend, but in frontend jQuery cannot be used with its $-shortcut.
