I'm a newbie when it comes to using Bootstrap plugins (just learned about it via codecademy)... I really would like to use this awesome bootstrap markdown plugin but fail to properly install it so I can call the getContent and parseContent from the textarea
.
If you could help me I would really appreciate it it - a lot!
I have done this so far (mocking up the example from codecademy)
Downloaded the following libs (jquery
, bootstrap
, bootstrap-markdown
, to-bootstrap
, markdown
) via bower and copied the these files into the js/vendor
folder
jquery.js
(v2.1.1)bootstrap.js
(v3.1.1)bootstrap-markdown.js
(v2.5.0)he.js
(v0.4.1)to-markdown.js
(no version number)markdown.js
(no version number)<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/bootstrap-markdown.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/vendor/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/bootstrap.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/bootstrap-markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/he.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/to-markdown.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<form>
<textarea name="content" data-provide="markdown-editable" rows="2" class="status-box md-input"_>### Hello World
*This* **is** the ***ultimate test***.
</textarea>
</form>
<div class="button-group pull-right">
<p class="counter">140</p>
<a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-post">Post</a>
</div>
<ul class='rows'>
<ul class="posts list-inline">
</ul>
</ul>
</div>
<script src="js/vendor/showdown.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src="js/app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
I actually think that this install the plugin correctly (my initial thought was that I didn't install the plugin correct which was why I couldn't make it work).
But how do I get the content from the textarea via the bootstrap-markdown
API's .getContent()
and .parseContent()
instead of having to use the .getVal()
and convert the string to html via showdown
?
So far I can get it this way
$(".status-box").markdown({
savable:true,
onSave: function(e) {
$('<li class="col-xs-6 pull-left raw-markdown">').append( e.getContent() ).prependTo('.posts');
$('<li class="col-xs-6 pull-right end-markdown">').append( e.parseContent() ).prependTo('.posts');
}
});
Which is good. But I want to be able to access via the Post button instead.
I tried without luck:
var post;
$(".status-box").markdown( post = e.getContent() );
e
represent the markdown edit only inside the onSave
function.
So you have to get the markdown instance, I checked the plugin and it's possible (hacky but possible :-)
If you want to access it inside your post click function you have to access it in this way:
data('markdown')
parseContent
functionCode:
$(".btn-post").click(function (e) {
post = $('.status-box').data('markdown').parseContent();
console.log(post)
});

Have you download bootstrap - markdown.js file into your work environment. Check The link of bootstrap - markdown.js file. The lib of markdown.js may be missing in your code.
UPDATE
HI @Norfeldt,
For This you have to follow Below Instructions.
1. Check Compatibility versions between bootstrap.min.css
and bootstrap.min.js
.(i.e you must maintain same versions
for both the things.) Because http://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-content/courses/ltp2/css/bootstrap.min.css Link contains Bootstrap version 3.0 css
and http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/js/bootstrap.min.js Link contains Bootstrap 2.3.2 version JS
.
2.Maintain Correct root Directory path.
<script src="js/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/to-markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap-markdown.js"></script>
must be
<script src="js/vendor/markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/to-markdown.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/bootstrap-markdown.js"></script>
3. Which version of bootstrap-markdown.js lib you are using.
Check this one
Version Compatibility with Bootstrap
Bootstrap Markdown v2.x only compatible with Bootstrap 3.x
Bootstrap Markdown v1.x only compatible with Bootstrap 2.x
Note: Download bootstrap files from Here add add to your html file.
