Use a template in a custom modal window instead of using the default modal

erieri

I'm trying to add a template to a custom modal window that I wrote. I want to be able to edit a row in a datatable without using the built in modal. I was thinking that I could just use the editor in standalone mode, but that's not possible if I'm using a datatable as well.

Hi @eriieii ,

One option that may be useful is that you can create your own styling templates, as shown in this example here - you don't have to use the built-in modal.

You could also just use the Editor API to edit a row behind the scenes - you don't need to open the modal. For example in this example, something like:

editor.edit(2).set('name', 'Ashton').submit();

This would enable you to get the new values anyway you like, then to use Editor to submit them to the server.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Colin
