Javascript confirmation box

[Falcon Capt]

I am trying to use the following script to create a Confirmation Popup box for my "Mark All Forums Read" link, but it isn't working.

In my Navbar template I placed the following at the top:

<vb:literal>
<script>
<!--
function markAsRead()
{
 var markRead= confirm("Do you really want to mark all forums as read?");
 if (markRead== true)
 { window.location="forumdisplay.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markread&amp;markreadhash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}";
 }
 else
 {    
  }
}
//-->

</script>
</vb:literal>

I changed the link for "Mark All Forums Read" to:

<a href="javascript:markAsRead();"><b><font color=red>{vb:rawphrase mark_forums_read}</font></b></a>

I end up getting the following error in my browser when trying to follow the link:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I noticed when the page changes, the URL shows up as: http://www.mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markread&markreadhash={vb:ra w bbuserinfo.securitytoken}

It looks like the hash and security tokens are not being passed in the Java Script as they were in vB3.




I was able to use the following in vB3.8.5 and it works fine, but it isn't working in vB4.x:

<script>
<!--
function markAsRead()
{
 var markRead= confirm("Do you really want to mark all forums as read?");
 if (markRead== true)
 { window.location="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]";
 }
 else
 {    
  }
}
//-->

</script>

<a href="javascript:markAsRead();">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try adding the javascript to the headinclude or header template.

The problem is you wrapped the javascript around <vb: literal> tags, which you should do, but that means none of the {vb: raw } tags are being parsed in the script.

Maybe try passing this data through the function?

<a href="javascript:markAsRead({vb:raw session.sessionurl},{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken );">{vb:rawphrase mark_forums_read}</a>

<vb:literal>
<script>
<!--
function markAsRead(session, markreadhash)
{
 var markRead= confirm("Do you really want to mark all forums as read?");
 if (markRead== true)
 { window.location="forumdisplay.php?" + session + "do=markread&amp;markreadhash=" + markreadhash;
 }
 else
 {    
  }
}
//-->

</script>
</vb:literal>

Tried both, no change.

I tried the above but get a "Syntax Error".

I think we are getting closer as it makes sense that the vb:literal tags are causing the noparse.

What's the syntax error? I see already that I missed a ")"

so,

<a href="javascript:markAsRead({vb:raw session.sessionurl},{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken});">{vb:rawphrase mark_forums_read}</a>

might fix it.

Still no-go.

It doesn't tell me what the Syntax Error is.

When I hover over the link, it shows:

javascript:markAsRead(,1279577127-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

It appears there might be a hash missing. Also, when I click on the Mark All Read button, I don't get the confirmation popup either.

Try:

<a href="javascript:markAsRead('{vb:raw session.sessionurl}','{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}');">{vb:rawphrase mark_forums_read}</a>

Where did you end up putting the js code?
