Way to disable the plugin about medium-editor-insert-plugin

[linkesch]

A basic idea behind why it's not incorporated yet is that if you want to deactivate the plugin, better would be not to include the plugin's JS file at all

The reason I need it is so I can toggle editing programmatically. Not sure how I would do that with the present code. Any suggestions?

[linkesch]

You can try to extend $.fn.mediumInsert.insert.init() function to delete previously created placeholders. And then toggling the plugin would look like setting $.fn.mediumInsert.settings.images and $.fn.mediumInsert.settings.maps to false and then rerunning $.fn.mediumInsert.insert.init().

I don't know. I didn't try to program it. It's only my suggestion from looking on the code.

I'm running into this problem as well. This plugin doesn't work well if you can't toggle between edit mode.

There needs to be a simple .deactivate() method like medium-editor has.

@orthes Wish I could tackle this but I don't think my JS chops are up to it.

Would it make sense to have a function that delegates to all other functions if the plugin is enabled and is a noon if it's not? Then you wouldn't need to bind/rebind events.

I'm working now on a way to disable the plugin. Expect the first solution soon.

So here it is, added disable/enable methods: fcaa216

You can call them like this:

$(element).mediumInsert('disable');

Another nice feature is, that they are both connected to Medium Editor's own activate/deactivate functions. So if you deactivate the editor, the plugin is deactivated too. This also applies for activation.

Awesome! Thanks a lot! 👍

[misbach]

fantastic, thanks.

Is there a way we can disable just the adding of more images, but retain the functionality to keep editing existing images? Thanks! :) (Sorry, I know this is insanely old, but seemed the most appropriate place to ask.)
