wysihtml5-bootstrap cursor changing on submit - ruby

I am working with the wysihtml5-bootstrap gem for Ruby and am using it as a live text editor along with Pusher. When I edit text inside one of the text boxes, it updates in the other open views of that save object. However, when my update function is called to save the content that is currently in the box and then update other open views of the text, the cursor moves to the beginning and almost renders the service unusable unless the user clicks after the last word to bring the cursor back to the ending position.
Using the wysihtml5 .html() function to update the view of the text, is it possible to save the cursor position and then have the cursor move to that location after the .html() function runs? I would love to have it so that the cursor does not move or is placed back at the last position after the .html() function runs.
var channel = pusher.subscribe("update");
channel.bind("edit<%= #guide.id%>", function(data) {
// alert('Attempting to set value: ' + data.message);
var wysihtml5Editor = $('#some-textarea').data("wysihtml5").editor;
// console.log(wysihtml5Editor);
$(wysihtml5Editor.composer.element).html(data.message);
console.log("New text is: " + $('#some-textarea').val());
});
Above is the code which listens for a specific event that is triggered with Pusher.

SlickGrid 'mouseleave' event not fired when row invalidated after 'mouseenter' fired

I have a slickgrid that, in the 'onMouseEnter' event, I do the following:
change the underlying css for the row in question
call grid.invalidateRow()
call grid.render()
These latter two calls are necessary for the new css classes to be reflected. However, I then need to capture the onMouseLeave event, and it is not fired when I move my mouse away from the cell (or row), presumably because the call to invalidate/render has placed a new DOM element under my mouse, and it's no longer the one I initially "entered."
So I have two questions:
Is there another way to have the new css classes for a given cell be rendered without calling invalidateRow/render?
If not, is there another way to do this and still have the onMouseLeave event fired?
One option is to use the setCellCssStyles function.
grid.onMouseEnter.subscribe(function(e, args){
var cell = grid.getCellFromEvent(e),
param = {},
columnCss = {};
for(index in columns){
var id = columns[index].id;
columnCss[id] = 'my_highlighter_style'
}
param[cell.row] = columnCss
args.grid.setCellCssStyles("row_highlighter", param);
})
So the above changes the background-color of every cell of the row that has been moused into. In my fiddle, the mouseLeave subscription performs a simple console.log to ensure it is still firing.
Edit: fixed the external resource usages in the fiddle for cross-browser support

Why delete does not work on CKEDITOR when selected?

I'm having a inline editable div. I can type, delete, add. Works great. I wanted the text within he div to be selected on focus (or if you click it). So I added the following to the code
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.div#{attr};
var element = editor.document.getById('div#{attr}');
editor.getSelection().selectElement( element );
This works too. Fully selected on focus. However, if I press the delete key or any other character key to overwrite the programmatically selected text, it doesn't change. It's as if more than only the text is selected, and the browser doesn't let me delete it. If I select the text manually, it works.
The selection#selectElement method will start selection before passed element and end after it. This means that not only editable's content will be selected but also non-editable parts of contents outside it and therefore selection may not be editable.
This is a correct solution:
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.editable,
el = CKEDITOR.document.getById( 'editable' ),
range = editor.createRange();
editor.focus();
range.selectNodeContents( el );
range.select();
But the easiest solution is to use selectAll command defined in selectall plugin:
editor.execCommand( 'selectAll' );

Can Sitecore's rich text editor's internal link manager remember your last location?

Question
Is it possible to remember the last item linked and have that one be selected the next time the Insert a Link dialog box is used?
Background
Our Sitecore content editors use the rich text editor (Telerik RadEditor) to edit HTML content on our website. Sometimes they need to create several links on the same page that are in similar areas (e.g. several different related articles). Currently, when they click on the Insert Link button, they are brought to the Insert a Link dialog box with the current item selected in the content tree. They browse to the item they'd like to link and click Link. Then they go to create another link, and it opens the Insert a Link dialog box to the current item again, instead of the item they just linked.
The solution which I found requires changes in Website\sitecore\shell\Controls\Rich Text Editor\RichText Commands.js file and works as long as you don't reload the page. You may easily extend it to work when some other page is edited by storing the information in a cookie instead of using the variable prevId.
First of all you need to define variable at the beginning of your file:
var prevId = null;
We will assign the last chosen item id to this variable every time we insert Sitecore link.
Second step is to extend scInsertSitecoreLink function to assign the prevId variable after the link is chosen:
function scInsertSitecoreLink(sender, returnValue) {
if (!returnValue) {
return;
}
prevId = returnValue.url.match(/id\=[a-fA-F0-9]{32}/g);
if (prevId) {
prevId = prevId[0].substr(3);
}
... rest of the scInsertSitecoreLink goes here
And the last step is to amend RadEditorCommandList["InsertSitecoreLink"] function that it uses the prevId variable value if it is set before it tries to assign scItemID which holds current item id:
RadEditorCommandList["InsertSitecoreLink"] = function(commandName, editor, args) {\
... here goes the original code of the function up to
if (!id) {
... and the code in the bracket
}
... and now we try to assign the prevId which was set after the last link was chosen
if(!id && prevId) {
id = prevId;
}
... and here goes the rest of the function
if (!id) {
id = scItemID;
}

jquery send action on focus and view lines of text

ie. we have page with many lines of text
<div class="textline" id=line1>text line or line with image no reason</div>
<div class="textline" id=line2>text line or line with image no reason</div>
<div class="textline" id=line500>text line or line with image no reason</div>
How to get last really visible lineID on the screen of visitor(not on whole page) and send this ID to server with jquery?
1) first time send - when page get focused more then 5 seconds (really viewed), need to send last visible lineID from the screen of visitor.
2) when page scrolled down need to send last visible line (think with some little timeout)
Is it possible with jquery? Any examples?
Grab the last element from a list of .textline elements.
Example:
$(".textline").last();
Or, if you want to select the last element visible on the screen in the viewport, you'll have to do something a lot more complex, like this:
$(".textline").each(function() {
var offset = $(this).offset().top - $(window).scrollTop();
if(offset <= window.innerHeight - $(this).height){
// it's the last visible line, do something with it.
// you can put a call to your server containing the
// line's current text with something like this:
// var curText = $(this).val();
}
}
this selects last .textline:
$('.textline').last().text()

Displaying BLOBs dynamically

Recently i've been working on a rather modest application, which lists contacts. When a detail-link was clicked, a popup would come up with more details and an image of that contact.
The table this was based on contained a column photo_reference, which held a path to a folder under /i/. With this setup, it was easy to get the images working for each contact.
The popup i showed was a bunch of htmlcode i put in the region footer, and hid.
<div id="contact_popup" class="contact_pop">
<div class="contact_pop_imgcontainer">
<img id="id_photo" class="contact_pop" />
</div>
</div>
When the detail was clicked, i retrieved data via an application process, and showed a modal dialog of this container.
Now the scope has changed: users need to be able to upload their own images. So, i went to work and made it so the images get uploaded into wwv_flow_files, and then i move them to a new contact_image table. So far so good. But now i want to display these pictures, and here i'm kind of stuck.
* I could include a column in my IR, and put a blob format mask on it with image. I've got this working, but annoyingly. My image table has as primary key the field 'ID'. My contacts table also has 'ID' as PK.
Since IMAGE:APXT_CONTACTS_IMG:SMALL_PHOTO:ID::::::inline: specifies ID as the PK, it uses ID from my contacts table.
My link between tables is APXT_CONTACTS.CONTACT_IMAGE_ID -> APXT_CONTACTS_IMG.ID.
The way i might make it work is to rename my id field in the image table to contact_image_id. (why couldnt the format mask just take the column it's based on as the value :().
I then could hide the column, and take the image with javascript to show in my popup. However, this preloads all images for the amount of selected rows, which isn't entirely bad, but i'm looking for an alternative first.
get_blob_file_src also seems no use to me because of the limited use of the parameters (file browse item, id field), and even then, could i use this through an ajax callback?
I'd much rather be able to get the image blob via ajax to then display in my popup, but i have no clue as to how to do this. I've made a stored procedure which gets the file to download and call this from an application process (ajax callback), and with firebug i can see the post/response, but i wouldn't know how to get this displayed as an image.
Javascript:
function cimg(){
var get = new htmldb_Get(null, &APP_ID., "APPLICATION_PROCESS=get_img", &APP_PAGE_ID.);
get.addParam('x01', 25);
var greturn = get.get();
alert(greturn);
var pic = new Image();
pic.onload = function(){
document.body.appendChild(pic);
};
pic.src = greturn;
};
Page process:
begin
show_small_photo(apex_application.g_x01);
end;
Stored Procedure:
create or replace procedure "SHOW_SMALL_PHOTO"
(p_contact_image_id IN NUMBER)
is
v_mime apxt_contacts_img.mime_type%type;
v_length NUMBER;
v_filename apxt_contacts_img.filename%type;
v_lob BLOB;
begin
SELECT mime_type, lengthb(small_photo), filename, small_photo
INTO v_mime, v_length, v_filename, v_lob
FROM apxt_contacts_img
WHERE id = p_contact_image_id;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (NVL (v_mime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- needed?
--HTP.p ('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||v_filename||'"');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (v_lob);
end;
(I'd rather not have to grant execute to public and call the stored procedure via a link.)
This way i'd only have to load the pictures of links clicked. Though this code doesn't work. I get the alert and see a bunch of those weird chars, so i presume that is the blob talking. But i'm not getting an image anywhere.
Am i missing something? Doing something wrong? I'm totally out of clues.
Instead of my existing code, i might make this work through creating another page, and juggle page items and their values around to try and get the same layout going, and then get that page through ajax?
I'm mainly trying to minimize impact (=work) on the existing app, so i wouldn't have to yet again change pages.
TL;DR: is it possible to retrieve and display an image blob from a table not in the report query, preferably through ajax?
This is Apex 4.02 on an 11g db
Thanks,
Tom
To whom it may concern, here is how i solved/worked around it:
I went with the fetch-another-page route. Maybe i was too technical or too difficult about it in my op, but in hindsight i think i could've boiled it down to:
"retrieve an image blob via ajax and display it".
So if that rings any bells for anyone, let me know.
Some rectifying too:
my images table is a child of the contacts table, as such my FK between those is images.contact_id -> contact.id
I've created a new page in my application, and put a form in based on my images table. I only display 2 items of the type 'display image' (a thumbnail and original size), and 2 hidden items, 'ID' and 'CONTACT_ID'. I've removed all that was not necessary: no buttons, no DML-process, no labels, no templates.
The automated row fetch process takes as 'primary key' my contact id, so i can call the page with contact_id in the url (so that i won't have to do an extra select to retrieve the correct id in the image table).
On the page i need the pictures, i then get the page with the photos on it when required (ie: when the detail icon is clicked and i show my popup).
Following piece of code is called within this function
(only code 'missing' here is where i call another page process to fetch me contact details in a json format)
//page 120 only holds the 2 images for a contact. Due to images being in
//blobs and no easy way to dynamically fetch them, i made a small
//form with the 2 photos on, and id + contact_id
//(contact_id made PK for the ARF-process, since this is what is worked with)
//The page is pulled in, and the photos retrieved
//htmldb_get does not do the job! It only pulls the page from cache, which isnt what i want
// arrays with the arguments and their values for the post
var vArgs = new Array();
var vVals = new Array();
vArgs.push("P120_CONTACT_ID");
vVals.push(cid);
$.post('wwv_flow.show',
{"p_request" : "NULL",
"p_flow_id" : $v('pFlowId'),
"p_flow_step_id" : "120",
"p_instance" : $v('pInstance'),
"p_arg_names" : vArgs,
"p_arg_values" : vVals},
function(data){
var oContainerSmall = $("#id_photo_container").empty(),
oSmallPhoto = $(data).find("#P120_SMALL_PHOTO").attr({"id":"id_photo",
"alt":oContact.lastname + " " + oContact.firstname}),
oLargePhoto = $(data).find("#P120_LARGE_PHOTO").attr("alt",oContact.lastname + " " + oContact.firstname);
$("#large_photo_container").empty().append(oLargePhoto);
$("#large_photo_container").css({"display": "block", "visibility": "hidden"});
//Why remove and remake the container?
//for some reason i couldn't find out, the image width and height get reset to 0 after
// an initial display of the enlarged picture and closing its dialogbox.
//I assume it is an apex+css+javascript issue.
//The only fix i was able to find was to remove the div and remake a new one.
// There have to be some properties set on the div and/or its children through
// the closing of the popup dialog (for the larger picture),
// which then prevents subsequent calls to get the correct values.
$("#large_photo_container").remove();
var oContainerLarge = $("<div></div>").attr("id","large_photo_container").css({"display":"block", "visibility":"hidden"});
oContainerLarge.append(oLargePhoto);
$("body").append(oContainerLarge);
//Hardcoded value here! Adapt when necessary
if($("#id_contact_type").val() == "Conference Room"){
var oLink = $("<a/>").attr("href", "#")
.click(function(event){
explode_headshot(event, this);
});
oContainerSmall.append(oLink.append(oSmallPhoto));
} else {
oContainerSmall.append(oSmallPhoto);
};
$("#contact_popup").dialog({modal: true,
width: 750,
resizable: false,
title: oContact.lastname + " " + oContact.firstname,
close: function(event, ui){
$("#id_photo").attr({"src": "", "alt": ""});
}});
});
I wouldn't call it ideal, but it works, and that's all i need at this time :)
I made a very similar application for showing contact details including photos a few months ago in apex.
I found this web page very useful:
http://blog.hilandco.com/2010/05/how-to-show-blob-type-column-as-image.html
Displaying an image can be as easy as creating an item of type: "display Image". Settings: " Blob column returned by sql statement".
And then an sql statement selecting the correct row:
select blob_content
from my_bitmap_table
where ID = ...
