Edit extension - handling with logical (server-side) validations
rogerio...@gmail.com
I am kind of new to the world of web development, but i am being able to solve all the challenges implementing the plug-in... except this one... (at least for now :))
I am using edit ext. and I am not being able to manage this in case of a "invalid" server validation...
I am using the "save" event in order to implement an ajax call to the server, like this:
save: function(event, data){
request = $.ajax({
url: "xhr/rename_object.php",
type: "POST",
data: {
object_data_record_id: node.data.record_id,
object_name: data.input.val()
}
});
request.done(function(result){
if (result.retcode>0) {
// I would like to return false from "save" if the condition is verified...
}
// Currently it is allways returning true, as outside the function I don't know out to test result.retcode...
}
Many thanks !!!

I saw the recipe many thanks, but I still have the same problem, when the server returns a logical error like "invalid title..." I am not able to exit false from the save event and keep the editor open...
Many thanks
