In the tradition of various stand-alone forms (user registration, entry form, edit form, etc) here is my quick & dirty take on a stand-alone notepad. You know, the one every member gets in his control panel, but I wanted to embed into a regular template. Here’s me code:
<html>
<head>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#notepad').ajaxForm(function() {
alert("Notepad updated.");
});
});
</head>
<body>
<?php global $SESS; ?>
{exp:query sql="SELECT notepad, notepad_size FROM exp_members
WHERE member_id = '<?=$SESS->userdata['member_id'];?>'"}
<form id="notepad" method="post" action="{path=member/update_notepad}">
<input type="hidden" name="notepad_size" value="{notepad_size}" />
<textarea name="notepad" rows="{notepad_size}" cols="120">{notepad}</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>
{/exp:query}
</body></html>
It uses PHP parsed on Input, jquery and the form plugin to update the field dynamically. This thread has a little more info.
