I'm trying to build a view in laravel that will allow the user to drag and drop widget on and off the page as well as around the page and resizing them.
Everything I read suggests this is not possible in laravel as the view seems fairly immutable.
Does anyone have any pointers?
ok.. no laravel can't do it, at least thats what I think..
However you can do it with javascript and store the widget locations in laravel..
Things I did find though for the next person...

I have a website where I am switching from addThis to addToAny for social sharing buttons. The problem is that the share buttons are contained in content that is loaded dynamically with jquery Waypoints infinite scroll feature (which uses Ajax). When the page first loads (so no Ajax called yet) everything works great, but when a user scrolls and more content is added that contain the share buttons, the new buttons don't work in that they don't show the share options on hover or click.
There are supposedly fixes for this if using templates from the likes of Drupal or Wordpress, but my site is not built using any of these templates. This was also a known issue with addThis, and to get around the problem you simply need to add 'addthis.toolbox('.addthis_toolbox')' into the success portion of the ajax call and things would work.
I haven't had any success getting addToAny to work after ajax returns. They have something that looked promising: a2a.init('page'), but that doesn't work. Has anyone had this problem and have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!
If there so many share button on one page you can call this after ajax success:
$(".a2a_dd").each(function() {
a2a.init('page');
});
Or if there only one share button, you can use this after ajax success:
a2a.init('page');
If want to know more details go through this document
According to the AddToAny API (https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/api/), you should use a2a.init_all(); if you are loading a number of new share button sets at once via AJAX.
Using a2a.init('page'); only initializes the last uninitialized buttons instance on the page. That might be fine for you, depending on how many new buttons that you load at a time.
Example: you have a blog site that loads new posts when the user scrolls to the end of the page. If you are only loading one new set of share buttons for the new content, a2a.init('page'); should work. If instead, you are loading a few new posts at a time, that each get their own set of share buttons, you will want to use a2a.init_all();
Hope this helps someone!
I have a registration form completed and would like to add a profile picture upload. Once the user clicks the browse, he can select the photo. Then he clicks ok/apply/ok and then the photo is reflected in the thumbnail area without page refreshing.
Once the user is happy with all fields input he can submit the form and with it the photo of course.
Anything that does this exists out there already? If not, please provide guidance on how to establish this feature.
Thanks,
I'm not aware of a ready made solution for this but there probably is something :-)
However, with Laravel this is beautifully simple. You've tagged your question ajax but I'll answer this assuming you're going to use an old fashioned server round trip (i.e a form submit).
1) In your template, add a file element to the form. http://laravel.com/docs/html#file-input
2) Add some javascript to the page that detects when a file is selected and shows the preview. Extensive tutorial here: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/
3) In your controller, handle the file using the Input facade. http://laravel.com/docs/requests#files
I'm working on a website that uses html5's push- and popstate in combination with ajax-calls to create a website that dynamically loads in Wordpress posts and pages, without causing a page refresh.
I've got that working fine, but I would love it if the black Wordpress toolbar/adminbar that shows at the top of the site when you're logged in as an admin, also reflected the change of content. Is there any way at all to make this happen? So that when I go from a post to page, for example, the "edit" link in the admin bar updates.
I don't think it's as easy as I hope it is, and if it can't be worked out I think I'll just disable the adminbar on the front-end. But it could be that I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance!
I'm working on this myself. I'm gonna build an ajax action and jquery function to do this. I will post here when it's done. For NOW i've instructed my users to just refresh to get the edit link. if you're using HTML5 history then you're on the permalink you want anyways. refresh and let the server regenerate the bar. not perfect but not terrible.
another option is to put edit post links in your template.
I am coding a website for a client and they requested that because they have so many sidebar pages under one parent, that when the page link is clicked, it loads in the same area every time without the page reloading. They also requested that the URL changes on reload and that you can visit each page by going to that specific url. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. I have found a lot of tutorials and snippets that are half way there but they don't offer the exact functionality.
For example, if you go here: http://lookseewatch.com/independentinsurance/commercial-insurance/
You'll see a long sidebar of different types of commercial insurance they offer. When you click on "Automobile," or any link for that matter, the page should be loaded into the div area on the right of the sidebar. The url then should change to reflect this change to http://lookseewatch.com/independentinsurance/commercial-insurance/automobile/. All of these pages are separate and dynamic in Wordpress.
Can anyone offer me some assistance? This is currently how the sidebar is being generated:
wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of='.$post->ID.'');
Let me know if you need any other code from me or have any questions about the functionality.
Thank you!
This is kinda complicated. There are a lot of ways of catching user events, stopping default behavior and running custom code over it. For exemple, you can listen to anchor clicks and return 0 to not load their links.
But if you change URL in browser address bar, as long as I know, a JS can't control it, because it's outside of a webpage domain, and controling browser components from an external webpage would open a lot of security flaws.
This looks like they wanna avoid banners loading to count less hits :P If performance is the issue, first of all you can use a cache plugin, that will store in HD all DB queries, and use those files in future pageloads instead of making new queries.
You can also build a full sidebar into a PHP variable, cache it in HD and read from there, instead of building the whole code everytime. It will be like adding static HTML snippet.
This can be done with a technique called pushstate combined with AJAX. There's a great jQuery plugin that's called PJAX that implements this. http://pjax.heroku.com/
I have just published a plugin called WP-PJAX that makes to whole wordpress site PJAX driven. I'm not sure if this solves your problem, but it might be something for you.

You can make use of the Html5 History API
Anyway this is an Html5 feature and not all browsers may support it. In this case I would suggest directly using a plugin that degrades to hash changes if not supported, like History.js
This is fundamentally the same question as how to fix the browser history back-forward buttons. Checkout What is the best back button jQuery plugin?, it really could help you alot!
