Do something on close

Added by E R 6 months ago

Hi guys,

I'm sure this is simple but for some reason I can't seem to find the command. I simply want to trigger something when the elfinder dialog window closes.

For instance:

//gallery file manager
$(".open_gallery_file_manager").live("click", function(){
    var f = $('<div></div>').elfinder({
        url : 'js/elfinder/connectors/php/connector.php',
        height: 490,
        docked: false,
        dialog: { width: 400, modal: true },
        closeOnEditorCallback: true,
        editorCallback: function(url) {
            //DO SOMETHING WHEN THIS FILE MANAGER CLOSES
        }
  });
});
//end gallery file manager

I know how to get the selected file, but I want something to trigger when the close icon is clicked.

Thanks in advance. Absolutely love this file manager

Probably there is no way in elFinder to trigger something when it is just closed... but maybe you can do it using jQuery dialog callbacks. Try something like:

dialog: {
  width: 400,
  modal: true,
  close: function(event, ui) {
    // DO WHAT YOU NEED
  }
}
...

Please feedback if it will work for you

Thanks for the reply, Troex. I'll give it a try when I get a chance. Sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get an email letting me know someone had replied to my post.

Thanks again,
I'll keep you posted if I get it working.

Ok here's how I worked around it. I open a ui-dialog with several choices one being to manage files. User manages files and closes the file manager window. When user closes the ui-dialog it then triggers an event.

Thanks for the idea, Troex. Love this file manager!
