Encapsulating Upload File code in function

Hi Ferdinand,

I am trying to encapsulate some parts of the code in function of the upload file, to make it generic and to pass different node IDs to it.

When I try to run the code, it dont give me any error, but it's just not working...

Added the code that you helped me with, for uploading a file from client env, with my changes for encapsulation.

Will appriciate some guidelines.

I suspect it has something to do with clousures and function scopes, but even declaring all objects globally didnt help.

Thanks in advance.

You can force the file-selection dialog open only synchronously in the mouse click event handler. You cannot perform an asynchronous operation like fetching data using CS REST API and once it gets finished, then open the dialog. This is for security reasons.

  $('#upload').click(function () {      // it is possible to open file dialog here      $.when(container.fetch(), addableTypes.fetch())       .done(function () {        // it is not possible to open file dialog here

You need to prepare the scenario outside the click handler and just execute the command inside the click handler.

Your answer has cleared the path to success.

It's working now!
