Function is returning value before running inner actions

Using SharePoint's PreSaveAction() that fires when the Save button is clicked, I am trying to run checks and manipulate fields before the form is saved. If PreSaveAction() returns true, the form will be saved and closed.
function PreSaveAction() {
var options = {
"url": "https://example.com/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('TestList')/items",
"method": "GET",
"headers": {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose"
}
}
$.ajax(options).done(function (response) {
var actualHours = response.d.results[0].ActualHours
var personalHours = $("input[title$='Personal Hours']").val();
var regex = /^\d*\.?\d+$/ // Forces digit after decimal point
if (personalHours && regex.test(personalHours)) { // Run if input is not blank and passes RegEx
if (response.d.results[0].__metadata.etag.replace(/"/g, "") == $("td .ms-descriptiontext")[0].innerText.replace("Version: ", "").split('.')[0]) {
// Run if item's data from REST matches version shown in form
addChildItem(id, title, personalHours, actualHours)
}
}
});
return true; // firing before request above begins
}
The function is returning as true before running the jQuery AJAX call which runs addChildItem() that manipulates fields within the form and posts relevant data to a separate list.
function addChildItem(id, title, personalHours, actualHours) {
$.ajax({
method: "POST",
url: "https://example.com/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('ChildList')/items",
data: JSON.stringify({
__metadata: {
'type': 'SP.Data.ChildListListItem'
},
ParentID: id,
Title: title,
HoursWorked: personalHours
}),
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
},
success: function (data) {
console.log("success", data);
var actualHoursNum = Number(actualHours);
var personalHoursNum = Number(personalHours);
$("input[title$='Actual Hours']").val(actualHoursNum + personalHoursNum);
$("input[title$='Personal Hours']").val('');
// Input is getting cleared on save but shows previous number when form is opened again
},
error: function (data) {
console.log("error", data);
}
});
}
This is causing the form to accept the field value manipulations but only after the save and before the automatic closure of the form.
I need PreSaveAction() to wait until after addChildItem() is successful to return true but I'm not sure how to do this. I have tried using a global variable named returnedStatus that gets updated when addChildItem() is successful but the return value in PreSaveAction() still gets looked at before the jQuery AJAX call is ran.
How can I solve this?

I got a similar case by setting async: false to add user to group in PreSaveAction.

how to get JSON value through Dropdown

We have JSON like this
"[{\"UserID\":1,\"Name\":\"demo\"},{\"UserID\":4,\"Name\":\"ekova\"},{\"UserID\":2,\"Name\":\"Himansu-it\"},{\"UserID\":3,\"Name\":\"Himansu-it Services\"}]"
We need Show UserName to drop-down list and if I Select Name on dropdown We need to get UserID.Like if We Select ekvoa We need get UserID 4
We show userName drop Down like this
function selectitems(){
var getCustomerIDs = jQuery.parseJSON( customerID );
$(getCustomerIDs).each(function() {
console.log(this.UserID);
console.log(this.Name);
$('#date').append('<option>'+this.Name+'</option>');
});
}
We need to post UserID like this
$.ajax({
url:'http://www.himansuit.com/DemoSalesApp/MyService.svc/GetCurrentGeoLocationsByUserID/'+userID,
dataType: 'jsonp',
type:'get',
cache:false,
timeout: 10000,
error: function(x, t, m) {
if(t==="timeout") {
debugger;
$('#alertmessage').empty();
alert("NO Internet Connection");
// withOutNetConnection();
} else {
//alert(t);
}},
success:function(data) {
debugger;
GetAllElementsjson=data;
elements();
}
});
Please guide me .

Set the value of the option to the UserID like so:
$('#date').append('<option value="'+this.UserID+'">'+this.Name+'</option>');
Then when #date changes, you can grab the value ($('#date').val()), which should be the userid.

Add user id as a value in option.get selected option on change event of select box(#date')
$('#date').append('<option value='+this.UserID+'>'+this.Name+'</option>');
call ajax on change event of (#date).
$('#date').on('change',function(){
var userID = $(this).val();
$.ajax({
url:'http://www.himansuit.com/DemoSalesApp/MyService.svc/GetCurrentGeoLocationsByUserID/'+userID,
dataType: 'jsonp',
type:'get',
cache:false,
timeout: 10000,
error: function(x, t, m) {
if(t==="timeout") {
debugger;
$('#alertmessage').empty();
alert("NO Internet Connection");
// withOutNetConnection();
} else {
//alert(t);
}},
success:function(data) {
debugger;
GetAllElementsjson=data;
elements();
}
});
})

AJAX reloads the page without inserting into database

I am new to Ajax and confused. The problem is the ajax reloads the page. The function mentioned in the url inserts the data into database. but the page reloads. I guess the URL is not working but i am not sure on this.
Here is my Controller Function
public function insert_student_fee_payment()
{
$std_code=$this->input->post('std_code');
$total_fee=$this->input->post('total_fee');
$payable_fee=$this->input->post('payable_fee');
$date=date('Y m d');
$class_detail=$this->db->select('class.class_year,class.class_semester')
->join('class','class_student.class_id=class.class_id','LEFT')
->where('class_student.student_id',$std_code)
->where('class_student.class_student_status',2)
->limit(1)
->get('class_student')
->result();
if(count($class_detail)>0)
{
foreach($class_detail as $cd)
{
$year=$cd->class_year;
$semester=$cd->class_semester;
}
}
$data=array(
'std_code'=>$std_code,
'year'=>$year,
'semester'=>$semester,
'total_fee'=>$total_fee,
'payable_fee'=>$payable_fee,
'date'=>$date,
'status'=>2
);
if($this->db->insert('student_fees',$data))
{
echo '1';
}
}
and here is my Ajax code in form
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#insert_fee_payment').click(function(){
var std_code=$('#std_code').text();
var total_fee=$('#total_fee').text().split(' ');
var payable_fee=$('#payable_fee').text().split(' ');
total_fee=total_fee[0];
payable_fee=payable_fee[0];
var data='std_code='+std_code+'&total_fee='+total_fee+'&payable_fee='+payable_fee;
$.ajax({
url: '<?php echo base_url()."index.php/finance/insert_student_fee_payment;?>',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
success: function(response)
{
alert(response);
},
error: function(response,status,err)
{
alert(err.message);
}
});
});
});
any help guys

We don't see the HTML so it's hard to say what's wrong but my guess is that $('#insert_fee_payment') is a submit button so you have to cancel the action by default which is submitting the form.
$('#insert_fee_payment').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
};
or
$('#insert_fee_payment').click(function(){
var std_code=$('#std_code').text();
var total_fee=$('#total_fee').text().split(' ');
var payable_fee=$('#payable_fee').text().split(' ');
total_fee=total_fee[0];
payable_fee=payable_fee[0];
var data='std_code='+std_code+'&total_fee='+total_fee+'&payable_fee='+payable_fee;
$.ajax({
url: '/index.php/finance/insert_student_fee_payment',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
success: function(response)
{
alert(response);
},
error: function(response,status,err)
{
alert(err.message);
}
});
return false;
});

Add return false after the error function.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#insert_fee_payment').click(function(){
var std_code=$('#std_code').text();
var total_fee=$('#total_fee').text().split(' ');
var payable_fee=$('#payable_fee').text().split(' ');
total_fee=total_fee[0];
payable_fee=payable_fee[0];
var data='std_code='+std_code+'&total_fee='+total_fee+'&payable_fee='+payable_fee;
$.ajax({
url: '/index.php/finance/insert_student_fee_payment',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
success: function(response)
{
alert(response);
},
error: function(response,status,err)
{
alert(err.message);
}
return false;
});
});
});

ajax to pass array value , how to fetch array on called page

I have array containg image path ,
GenerateReport[0] ="../images/Desert1.jpg"
GenerateReport[1] ="../images/Desert2.jpg"
GenerateReport[2] ="../images/Desert3.jpg"
GenerateReport[3] ="../images/Desert4.jpg"
GenerateReport[4] ="../images/Desert5.jpg"
I am trying to pass this array with following code,
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "generatePdf.php",
data: {
genRep: "sample value"
},
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
console.log('getting '+data);
}
});
sample value is passed successfully , but how can i pass array to ajax and use it on another page?? i tried passing array and using with below code but it is not working
$data1 = $_REQUEST['genRep'];
echo "tested".$data1[0];

Try like
genRep = [];
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "generatePdf.php",
data: {
genRep: GenerateReport
},
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
console.log('getting '+data);
}
});
It will send your array as genRep

try to use json object. in object you can store your images path
var data=[]; // array
var data[0] = 'something';
var data[1] = 'something1';
var data = { 'name': name, 'email' : email, 'contact' : contact, 'type' : type, 'msg' : msg }; // object
$.ajax({
url : 'contact.php',
type : 'POST',
data : {contact:JSON.stringify(data)}, // for json object
data : {contact: data}, // for array
success : function (msg)
{
alert(msg);
}
})
contact.php
$info = $_POST['contact'];
$info = json_decode($info,true); // for json object
echo $info.name; // for json object
echo $info[0]; // will print something...

$arr = array();
$arr[0] = "Mark Reed";
$arr[1] = "34";
$arr[2] = "Australia";
echo json_encode ($arr);
use this on the php page
and use the following to get the output
success:function(msg){
id_numbers = JSON.parse(msg);
alert(id_numbers)
}

Try:
$.ajax({
url: "generatePdf.php",
type: 'POST',
data: form_data,
dataType:"json",
success: function(data) {
alert(data[0]);
}
On the PHP side, you'll be wanting to print:
print json_encode($photos);
Made Some Change
print json_encode(array("photolist"=>$photos));
Then on the server, you'd access these with:
data.photolist[0]; //First photo

I have tested it, this will definitely work !
JS:
var GenerateReport = [];
GenerateReport[0] ="../images/Desert1.jpg";
GenerateReport[1] ="../images/Desert2.jpg";
GenerateReport[2] ="../images/Desert3.jpg";
GenerateReport[3] ="../images/Desert4.jpg";
GenerateReport[4] ="../images/Desert5.jpg";
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'generatePdf.php',
data: 'image_array='+GenerateReport,
success: function(msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
generatePdf.php :
<?php
$image_string = $_POST['image_array'];
$image_array = explode(",", $image_string);
print_r($image_array);
?>
Then you can loop over the $image_array to get the values.

try this
GenerateReport[0] ="../images/Desert1.jpg"
GenerateReport[1] ="../images/Desert2.jpg"
GenerateReport[2] ="../images/Desert3.jpg"
GenerateReport[3] ="../images/Desert4.jpg"
GenerateReport[4] ="../images/Desert5.jpg"
corrected code:
var imagedata = '';
$.each(GenerateReport,function(index,value))
{
if(imagedata=='')
{
imagedata = imagedata +'image'+index+'='+value;
}
else
{
imagedata = imagedata +'&image'+index+'='+value;
}
});
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "generatePdf.php",
data: imagedata //pass string imagedata
success: function(data) {
alert(data);
console.log('getting '+data);
}
});
imagedata should have sting like this:
image1=../images/Desert1.jpg&image2=../images/Desert2.jpg and so on

if(isset($_REQUEST['genRep']))
{
$data = $_REQUEST['genRep'];
print_r($data1);
echo "tested".$data1[0];
createPdf($data);
}
My code was correct , there was no value on index 0 , thats why it was not printing anything .My Mistake !!!
