Nativescript : Custom component slow response and problem with module global access - nativescript

I am using ‘Music Streaming App template’ From Nativescript Marketplace, I made few updates, I separated the footer in custom module called 'footer-menu' and trying to use it in ‘home’ and ‘artist’ html pages by calling at the end of each page.
This is a link for current code on ‘Playground’
https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng&id=ERHBrE&v=130
I have two issues:
First:
When I click on any footer link, it takes very long time to respond, and sometimes I have to click twice for the action to take place and navigate to another page!
Second:
I want to call the custom component in other components. To do that I want to import the ‘Footer-menu’ module/component only in one place ‘app.module.ts’ and use it in all the other components, but it is not working!
I had to import it to each module to work!.
So why it is not seen while in ‘app.module.ts’?
https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng&id=ERHBrE&v=130
When importing the module in 'app.module.ts' it never works. for that I had to import it to every module I want to call it from.
I just want to call it in app.module.ts and use it everywhere.
Besides function calls from footer is not responding all the time, and it is very slow why?

jQuery mobile - after browser refresh page totally messed up

I'm developping a jqm application with spring mobile in the back-end.
Whenever I hit the browser refresh button on my mobile phone the page is completely devastated afterwards. Browsers back-button works properly.
The data are still available due prg pattern (flashAttributes in Spring) after refresh. Only the view is malformed.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
From jQuery Mobile docs :
The simplest approach when building a jQuery Mobile site is to reference the same set of stylesheets and scripts in the head of every page. If you need to load in specific scripts or styles for a particular page, we recommend binding logic to the pageinit event (details below) to run necessary code when a specific page is created (which can be determined by its id attribute, or a number of other ways). Following this approach will ensure that the code executes if the page is loaded directly or is pulled in and shown via Ajax
So what happens is - in jQuery Mobile, the scripts and styles defined in the head are loaded only once. So, in normal conditions, it works fine, as all the pages will use the scripts loaded from the first page.
But. When you refresh a page in-between, it triggers a page-reload instead of the ajax navigation model thatjqm uses. So all the scripts and styles loaded from the first page will not be included from here on out.
What you need to do is "reference the same set of stylesheets and scripts in the head of every page", so that even if you hit refresh in the middle, the scripts and styles that had been loaded from the head of the first page are loaded again.
I recommend you read the docs from the above link fully to gain a better understanding.

Angular Controller executes on each ajax partial reresh

I am adding some functionality to an existing Microsoft MVC 3 application. I cannot change the existing structure of the app itself while I do need to add some new functionality to the page. I have angular running in a div (hidden on load via jquery dialog). The MVC app has several tabs on the page. Each time a tab is chosen, the a partial cshtml (razor) loads. Along with that partial, my angular template is included. The partial references a js file that contains the angular controller. When it is first loaded and the user opens the tab and open the jquery dialog containing angular, everything works fine. I started to notice some funny behavior after the changes are saved. I noticed the same irregular behavior if I closed the dialog containing the angular template, switched to another tab, then switched back to the tab containing the angular template. Here's what is happening:
The partial being loaded by MVC reloads the angular template which initiates the angularjs controller method in the referenced js file
A new $scope is being generated each time this occurs.
Each time a controller method is invoked (via ng-click event tied to a button on the template) teh method will execute n number of times with n being the number of times the partial has been loaded since the last full page refresh.
I proved this method by logging the $scope object to the window in the start of the controller method
window['scope_' + new Date().getTime().toString()] = $scope;
After each partial page load, a new $scope object is logged to the window. Pressing a button on the template invoked a certain method tied to the ng-click event. This event fires multiple times. But calling the method manually in the console using the oldest recorded scope object in the window
scope_1378413848781.$apply(scope_1378413848781.getSomeData())
it works as intended. So, my question is, how do I prevent the controller from adding a new scope every time the MVC framework reloads the partial?
Here are some of the things I've tried that didn't work:
Adding a global flag and exiting the controller method if it was set
moving the controller reference to the _layout.cshtml file
destroying the scope when the dialog containing the template is closed
One final note, I am not using the angular route provider which I know can cause the controller to execute twice when used in conjunction with .
It appears that Angularjs was not meant to be used in this fashion. Per the angular docs:
You can use Angular to develop both single-page and round-trip apps, but Angular is designed primarily for developing single-page apps...You normally wouldn't want to load Angular with every page change, as would be the case with using Angular in a round-trip app.
To resolve the issue, I moved the angular template as well as the reference to the controller and angular.min.js to the shared _Layout.cshtml file. This partial file loads first and is only reloaded when the entire page is refreshed. Adding angular references and loading controllers in js files referenced in asp.net mvc 3 partials will cause scope replication that can be difficult to detect.

Joomla: make a component act like a content plugin

I've created an admin component and now need to insert text on each page of the installing client. So I thought of using the function onContentPrepare but it's a method of a JPlugin class (a content plugin class to be exact).
Is there a way to invoke the component from the view in the same way like a plugin?
Short answer: No, you have to write a plugin. But that's not a big thing.
Long answer: On each request, exactly one component is called. Plugins are triggered at certain events within the control flow. The onContentPrepare event is triggered by the components (not from the Joomla! framework), so some components might not support it. Nevertheless, you can get access to the content of any component through plugins anyway - just use the onAfterRender event of the system plugins.

Joomla module or component to be render on a blank page

I have developed a Joomla module that does provides a form, processes its post data, does some calculations and displays the results.
The module includes a button to print the results. I'm currently using JavaScript to open a new window, paste the relevant HTML and open the print dialog.
Instead of JavaScript I would prefer to provide a separate URL for the print view and simply open that in a _blank target. This would make the application work better for people using screen readers or not having JavaScript available.
Is there any way that I can tell Joomla to not render the template along with my module? I was thinking that creating a component fixes that issue, but had to find that components are rendered into the template, too...
BTW: I have Joomla 1.5.22
To achieve what you want you have to add additional tmpl=component query string parameter to the request URL. This will disable template and module rendering.
Your URL will look something like this: index.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx&tmpl=component
Since you are using Joomla 1.5 you can request index2.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx and it will only render the component. Joomla 2.5 does not have index2.php so if you plan to migrate in future, don't use this option.
If you are using SEF then adding ?tmpl=component at the end on URL does the trick.
To go a step deeper... in your template directory you have component.php file, that is the file that's being loaded by tmpl param. You can copy component.php to my_component.php, do necessary changes and load your custom component template with index.php?option=com_xxx&view=xxx&tmpl=my_component
The joomla way of doing it would be to set your output to "raw", see this tut:

Can I trigger a webcontrol panel's OnInit event without a page?

I am working with someone else's code. The code was originally designed so that data would dynamically create controls (and sub-controls of those controls...) on the OnInit event on numerous web control panels. And then later validation methods would check those dynamically created controls for valid data. This continues to work just fine for my web site. However, I need to be able to validate that data without my website (as in this will just be server side). The simpilist solution appeared to be to just have the panels initialize and then run the validation methods. That'd be great...if I could figure out how to initialize those panels server side without a web page.
Can this be done? Is there any way to get a panel to initialize without having a page to display that panel?
That way lies madness - you could use reflection to call the control's InitRecursive method, but it needs a Page (among other things) to run correctly.
You should extract the validation code into a new class that you can call from your server code an change your WebControl to use that class as well.
Try RenderControl.
