JS: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'bodyText'. Parse error.

V: 2.0.19

I have a problem in JavaScript... To my code, i want to add a function programmed in PHP, but ii don't know how to do it. Let me explain, if I add the code it works, but the rest of the code breaks... Giving me the error: Unexpected identifier 'bodyText'. parse error.

What this code does for me is preview a message before being published. I want the preview to read me a programmed bbcode:

This is in Post.template.php
Clean code

Code Select Expand

// Show the preview section.
                var preview = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName(\'smf\')[0].getElementsByTagName(\'preview\')[0];
                setInnerHTML(document.getElementById(\'preview_subject\'), preview.getElementsByTagName(\'subject\')[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

                var bodyText = \'\';
                for (var i = 0, n = preview.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0].childNodes.length; i < n; i++)
                    bodyText += preview.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0].childNodes[i].nodeValue;

                setInnerHTML(document.getElementById(\'preview_body\'), bodyText);
                document.getElementById(\'preview_body\').className = \'post\';
Modify code

Code Select Expand

// Show the preview section.
                var preview = XMLDoc.getElementsByTagName(\'smf\')[0].getElementsByTagName(\'preview\')[0];
                setInnerHTML(document.getElementById(\'preview_subject\'), preview.getElementsByTagName(\'subject\')[0].firstChild.nodeValue);

                var bodyText = \'\';
\'parse_landa(\'bodyText\');
                for (var i = 0, n = preview.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0].childNodes.length; i < n; i++)
                    bodyText += preview.getElementsByTagName(\'body\')[0].childNodes[i].nodeValue;

                setInnerHTML(document.getElementById(\'preview_body\'), bodyText);
                document.getElementById(\'preview_body\').className = \'post\';
With parse_landa('bodyText') (this is a php function) it gives me the format i want, but there is something wrong in the way I put it, which gives me the error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'bodyText'. Parse error.

How could I fix it? Thank you!!

The JS preview function is simply an XML request to the server to get teh already  formatted bbcode. You don't need to modify that bit of JS normally.

Thank you very much, as always for your attention, @Arantor

I was testing an experimental BBC that I was creating, so that it could read URLs from the RAE.

As my bbc is in the experimental phase, for the example of what I want I have used the bbcode glossary, which in the preview does not behave correctly:

https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=1525

For it to be displayed in the messages, that is, for it to work correctly I have to do the parse_glossary

Code Select Expand

$BODYFORPARSEGLOSSARY = parse_glossary($BODYFORPARSEGLOSSARY);
I have to apply that code to the JS of post.template.php, because if I do it in the source of post.php where the preview, which is the part I want to modify, is only displayed correctly if the URL is refreshed. Therefore i have gone to the part of the JS that is responsible for displaying the preview, and i have added that line of code, and in fact it shows it fine, but then the JS stops working, giving me that error. I guess there's something I'm not writing correctly.

The variable that copies the previewed message body in JS is var textBody, and to which i have to do the parse_glossary.

Add that parse_glossary is a function that is in subs.php, so in that JS of post.template i have to invoke it, which i have done in the way i have put in the main message. What i said works for me, but my JS breaks from there giving me the indicated error, when i put

Code Select Expand

\'parse_glossary(\'bodyText\');
Error:
SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'bodyText'. Parse error.

Thnx Arantor!!

Well of course it's a parse error, you can't just jam PHP code inside JavaScript. And even if that did somehow work, you're not passing a *variable* to parse_glossary but a string, which is a totally different thing anyway.

But as ever I still have no idea what you're actually trying to do because you're too busy focusing on how you think you have to do it to explain what you're actually trying to achieve.

The glossary has been successfully ported to 2.1 by other means. Use that
