Ckeditor keypress keydown events - ckeditor

I really need some help, I can't figure out how to handle keypress/keydown events.
I've already tried everything and looked into javascript API documentation and here on forum but I couldn't find any solution.
Can someone please explain the right way to do that?
So my question is... how do I get key events working ?

The easiest way is to listen to editor#key event. Just like so:
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.editor1;
editor.on( 'key', function( evt ) { console.log( evt ); } );

CKEditor event on element

I'm writing my plugin and I am trying to set an event to an element, that I'll add to the editor. The event should act on the key enter.
Unfortunately, when I try to catch a 'key' or 'keydown' event nothing happens, but if I set 'click' event it's working great.
var element = editor.document.createElement('div');
element.setAttribute('data-type', 'example');
element.on('click', function() {
alert("Hi");
});
editor.insertElement(element);
Can someone help a noob like me ? :D
Thanks
You can only listen to keyboard events in editing hosts (focusable elements). So just add your listener to editable element, e.g.
editor.editable().on( 'keyup', function( evt ) { console.log( 'keyup' ); } );

map keyboard keys with mootools

I am looking to make the enter key behave exactly like the tab key on a form.
I am stuck on the fireEvent section.
var inputs = $$('input, textarea');
$each(inputs,function(el,i) {
el.addEvent('keypress',function(e) {
if(e.key == 'enter') {
e.stop();
el.fireEvent('keypress','tab');
}
});
});
How do I fire a keypress event with a specified key? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
this will work but it relies on dom order and not tabindex
var inputs = $$('input,textarea');
inputs.each(function(el,i){
el.addEvent('keypress',function(e) {
if(e.key == 'enter'){
e.stop();
var next = inputs[i+1];
if (next){
next.focus();
}
else {
// inputs[0].focus(); or form.submit() etc.
}
}
});
});
additionally, textarea enter capture? why, it's multiline... anyway, to do it at keyboard level, look at Syn. https://github.com/bitovi/syn
the above will fail with hidden elements (you can filter) and disabled elements etc. you get the idea, though - focus(). not sure what it will do on input[type=radio|checkbox|range] etc.
p.s. your code won't work because .fireEvent() will only call the bound event handler, not actually create the event for you.
Take a look at the class keyboard (MooTools More).
It can fire individual events for keys and provides methodology to disable and enable the listeners assigned to a Keyboard instance.
The manual has some examples how to work with this class, here's just a simple example how I implemented it in a similar situation:
var myKeyEv1 = new Keyboard({
defaultEventType: 'keydown'
});
myKeyEv1.addEvents({
'shift+h': myApp.help() // <- calls a function opening a help screen
});
Regarding the enter key in your example, you have to return false somewhere to prevent the enter-event from firing. Check out this SO post for more details.

Auto save joomla article for client

i know its sounds a bit crazy, but so many clients have problems with not saving their article properly.
I just wanted to use a simple method to trigger the onclick of the APPLY button inside a joomla article in edit mode.
Primarily back end editing as i have a good admin template that allows me to show clients the bare bones.
I know that by clicking apply the page reloads but thats better than nothing.
How on earth do i add do this?
I was hoping something like this would work but i dont quite know how to trigger a button that seems to reside inside a toolbar function of some sort.
I have this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('??????').trigger('click');
});
</script>
What would replace the question marks?
Also i know i would need to put a timer into the jquery code but how do i get the link below to trigger?
http://mydomain.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content&sectionid=1&task=edit&cid[]=97
In the toolbar.content.html.php file joomla has this:
class TOOLBAR_content
{
function _EDIT($edit)
{
$cid = JRequest::getVar( 'cid', array(0), '', 'array' );
$cid = intval($cid[0]);
$text = ( $edit ? JText::_( 'Edit' ) : JText::_( 'New' ) );
JToolBarHelper::title( JText::_( 'Article' ).': <small><small>[ '. $text.' ]</small></small>', 'addedit.png' );
JToolBarHelper::preview( 'index.php?option=com_content&id='.$cid.'&tmpl=component', true );
JToolBarHelper::save();
/////////////////////////////////////
JToolBarHelper::apply(); // < // THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO TRIGGER
/////////////////////////////////////
if ( $edit ) {
// for existing articles the button is renamed `close`
JToolBarHelper::cancel( 'cancel', 'Close' );
} else {
JToolBarHelper::cancel();
}
}
...... more stuff here
}
I know this might sound crazy but wouldnt it be great if autosave could happen even without a reload, but i guess that would mean posting all the data using jquery rather than the php post and reload page method.
Anyways im not expecting a miracle here but if anyone could help that would be great.
Cheers in advance
John
PS:
i just tried something like this hoping maybe it will work but it just reloads the page:
function autosave()
{
window.location = "index.php?option=com_content&sectionid=<?php echo $_GET['sectionid'];?>&task=edit&cid[]=<?php echo $row->id;?>"
}
You won't be able to do it without forcing a reload unless you decide to re-write the whole of com_content with an ajax implementation.
Looking at the code you've posted I guessing Joomla! 1.5 - which by default has MooTools 1.12 or 1.2.5 (if you enabled the MooTools upgrade plugin in later versions of 1.5.x) - so more of a question but why not use that?
You will have to modify the admin template to embed the JS you need, 1.5 has few triggers and none that are really worth using in the admin screens (unless you're up for a fair bit of PHP coding)
Somewhere in the <head> tag of com_content's Article view you will need to add this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var interval = 30 //seconds
var timer = setTimeout(submitbutton('apply'),(interval * 1000));
}
</script>
Please note I haven't tried this just typed it straight into here.
Since you're on 1.5 have you tried the Simple Content Versioning extension - it has autosave functionality that appears to be what you want - and probably works whereas who knows with my code in #3.

How do I override the jQuery.ajaxTransport function?

I need to change the function jQuery.ajaxTransport to make it function correctly with BlackBerry OS5. I have the code worked out, but I want a clever way to override the function without changing the JQuery framework
THanks,
I believe the concept you are desiring to employ is called Monkey Patching.
Include the jQuery file, then immediately (before using jQuery) include your script which does this:
( function( global )
{
if( global.jQuery )
{
global.jQuery.ajaxTransport = function( transports )
{
//Your new code here
};
}
}( window ) );
You might want to try setting your own ajax transport handler instead, take a look at the documentation for doing so here if you haven't: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajaxTransport/

Using SortableRows and know when rows have been moved

I want to take advantage of the sortableRows property of the jqGrid. How do I detect when a row has been moved. I have studied the documentation and looked for examples but haven't found much. I do believe it is something like
jQuery("#grid").sortableRows({connectWith:'#gird',
ondrop: function(){ alert("row moved") }});
but that does not work. I can move the rows, but don't seemed to have trapped the event. Is there something wrong with my syntax or my approach in general.
Basically, I need to know that the rows have been rearranged so I can be sure they get saved with their new order.
Thanks
jqGrid uses the ui-sortable plugin to sort rows: http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/.
In
jQuery("#grid").sortableRows( options )
"options" is the passed to the sortable plugin.
options = { update : function(e,ui){} }
is what you want.
Attach the sortstop event handler to your grid:
jQuery("#grid").bind('sortstop', function(event, ui) { alert("row moved") });
I did a quick test and that worked for me.
jQuery('#'+grid_id).jqGrid('sortableRows', {
update: function (event, ui) {
var newOrder = $('#'+grid_id).jqGrid("getDataIDs");
//do whatever you want with new roworder
//please keep in mind this will give only page visible rows
}
});
