I have been using summernote editor for a while now and it's working for most of the things I've needed it for. However, I recently wanted it disabled ( not destroyed ) after a user action. After efforts without success, it occurred to me I could use the destroy() method to achieve what I wanted. I noticed that Summernote still turned an already disabled textarea to its editor, with the writing area disabled. Here is what I finally did:
To disable summernote after creating it: I first destroyed it, then disabled the target element, and finally re-initialized it:
$(".summernoteTarget").destroy();
$(".summernoteTarget").prop('disabled', true );
$(".summernoteTarget").summernote();
And to enable it again, I first destroyed it as before, then enabled the target element, and lastly re-initialized it:
$(".summernoteTarget").destroy();
$(".summernoteTarget").prop('disabled', false );
$(".summernoteTarget").summernote();
This did the trick with minor problem: when it remains in the 'disabled' state, all the controls are not disabled, only the writing area is. So a user can still , say, drag a file onto the writing area but this raises an error.
Has anyone taken a look at the source of Summernote and can add two methods( disable and enable ) in addition to destroy(), so that we can do something like:
$(".summernoteTargetElement").disable();
$(".summernoteTargetElement").enable();
Thanks.
You can disable or enable editor with API after v0.7.3.
// To disable
$('.summernote').summernote('disable');
// To enable
$('.summernote').summernote('enable');
http://summernote.org/deep-dive/#disable-enable
This worked for me:
// The class note-editable is generated by summernote
// To enable
$('.note-editable').attr('contenteditable', true);
// To disable
$('.note-editable').attr('contenteditable', false);

Hope this helps someone :)
I don't know if you still need this.
I am doing the following:
For disable
$('#textarea').destroy();
$('#textarea').prop('disabled', true);
$('#textarea').summernote({
minHeight: null,
maxHeight: null,
focus: true,
styleWithSpan: false,
toolbar: [
]
});
For enable
$('#textarea').destroy();
$('#textarea').prop('disabled', false);
$('#textarea').summernote({
minHeight: null,
maxHeight: null,
focus: true,
styleWithSpan: false,
toolbar: [
['style', ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'clear']],
['para', ['ul', 'ol']]
]
});
textarea is my area where i applied the summernote.
But after this i am having problem with the code property when i post the page.
In my situation I wanted to create a class selector for 2 summernote rich text editors. One would be enabled the other disabled.
To achieve this you can use this approach
// This is in a razor view using MVC
// Enabled
@Html.TextAreaFor(i => i.Explanation, new {@class = "summerNote" })
// Disabled
@Html.TextAreaFor(i => i.Explanation, new {@class = "summerNote-disabled" })
The text area will allow the saved rich text code to be interpreted when you display it back in the textarea later.
Now when you create a summerNote rich text editor it does not convert your element to a summernote, rather it create a new element below the defined element. You can see this in the DOM if you inspect the various elements
Now to disable the editor
// In javascript
$('.summerNote-disabled+.note-editor .note-editable').attr('contenteditable', false)
This selects the element that you defined as the summerNote and grabs the note-editor sibling. Within that sibling exists the note-editable textarea. This is the element that you would want to set its 'contenteditable' attribute to false.
