isotope cssHooks overwrite jQuery.transit cssHooks - firefox

I have a strange issue where, I can not find any simple solution. Using the isotope Plugin and the jQuery.transit Plugin in the same document, makes some of the jQuery.transit plugin supported css3 transitions become unusable (only in FF16).
It looks like the $.cssHooks function in isotope breaks the cssHooks functions from other plugins.
If i disable in isotope.js the line 216
setIsoTransform( elem, 'scale', value );
in this function:
$.cssHooks.scale = {
set: function( elem, value ) {
// uncomment this bit if you want to properly parse strings
// if ( typeof value === 'string' ) {
// value = parseFloat( value );
// }
// alert(elem+" "+value)
setIsoTransform( elem, 'scale', value );
},
get: function( elem, computed ) {
var transform = $.data( elem, 'isoTransform' );
return transform && transform.scale ? transform.scale : 1;
}
};
than the cssHooks function from jQuery transit works well. (In this case the scale function from Isotope does not work any more.)
I don't understand why isotope extend the cssHooks this way, and why this influence any other object on the page, and not just the elements which should be managed via isotope.
I hope you can give me a good direction, or some update.
Cheers,

CKEditor: multiple widget templates

I'm currently creating a 'smartobject' widget. In the widgets dialog, the user can choose a 'smartobject', which simply put, generates some html, which should be added to the editor. Here comes the tricky part: the html sometimes div elements and sometimes simply span elements. In the case of the div variant, the widget should be wrapped in a div 'template'. In the case of a span variant, the widget should be wrapped in a span and the html should be added 'inline'.
In the widgets API I see the following way to define a template:
editor.widgets.add('smartobject', {
dialog: 'smartobject',
pathName: lang.pathName,
template: '<div class="cke_smartobject"></div>', // <------
upcast: function(element) {
return element.hasClass('smartObject');
},
init: function() {
this.setData('editorHtml', this.element.getOuterHtml());
},
data: function() {
var editorHtml = this.data.editorHtml;
var newElement = new CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml(editorHtml);
newElement.copyAttributes(this.element);
this.element.setText(newElement.getText());
}
});
But in my case, the template is more dynamic: sometimes a div and sometimes the span will do the correct thing..
How can I fix this without needing to create two widgets which will do the exact same thing, with only the wrapping element as difference?
I've already tried to replace the entire element in the 'data' method, like:
newElement.replace(this.element);
this.element = newElement;
But this seemed not supported: resulted in undefined errors after calling editor.getData().
I'm using ckeditor v4.5.9
Thanks for your help!
It seems I got it working (with a workaround).
The code:
CKEDITOR.dialog.add('smartobject', this.path + 'dialogs/smartobject.js');
editor.widgets.add('smartobject', {
pathName: lang.pathName,
// This template is needed, to activate the widget logic, but does nothing.
// The entire widgets html is defined and created in the dialog.
template: '<div class="cke_smartobject"></div>',
init: function() {
var widget = this;
widget.on('doubleclick', function(evt) {
editor.execCommand('smartobject');
}, null, null, 5);
},
upcast: function(element) {
return element.hasClass('smartObject');
}
});
// Add a custom command, instead of using the default widget command,
// otherwise multiple smartobject variants (div / span / img) are not supported.
editor.addCommand('smartobject', new CKEDITOR.dialogCommand('smartobject'));
editor.ui.addButton && editor.ui.addButton('CreateSmartobject', {
label: lang.toolbar,
command: 'smartobject',
toolbar: 'insert,5',
icon: 'smartobject'
});
And in the dialog, to insert code looks like:
return {
title: lang.title,
minWidth: 300,
minHeight: 80,
onOk: function() {
var element = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml(smartobjectEditorHtml);
editor.insertElement(element);
// Trigge the setData method, so the widget html is transformed,
// to an actual widget!
editor.setData(editor.getData());
},
...etc.
UPDATE
I made the 'onOk' method a little bit better: the smartobject element is now selected after the insertion.
onOk: function() {
var element = CKEDITOR.dom.element.createFromHtml(smartobjectEditorHtml);
var elementId = "ckeditor-element-" + element.getUniqueId();
element.setAttribute("id", elementId);
editor.insertElement(element);
// Trigger the setData method, so the widget html is transformed,
// to an actual widget!
editor.setData(editor.getData());
// Get the element 'fresh' by it's ID, because the setData method,
// makes the element change into a widget, and thats the element which should be selected,
// after adding.
var refreshedElement = CKEDITOR.document.getById(elementId);
var widgetWrapperElement = CKEDITOR.document.getById(elementId).getParent();
// Better safe then sorry: if the fresh element doesn't have a parent, simply select the element itself.
var elementToSelect = widgetWrapperElement != null ? widgetWrapperElement : refreshedElement;
// Normally the 'insertElement' makes sure the inserted element is selected,
// but because we call the setData method (to ensure the element is transformed to a widget)
// the selection is cleared and the cursor points to the start of the editor.
editor.getSelection().selectElement(elementToSelect);
},
So in short, I partially used the widget API for the parts I wanted:
- Make the html of the widget not editable
- Make it moveable
But I created a custom dialog command, which simply bypasses the default widget insertion, so I can entirely decide my own html structure for the widget.
All seems to work like this.
Any suggestions, to make it better are appreciated:)!
As suggested in this ckeditor forum thread, the best approach would be to set the template to include all possible content elements. Then, in the data function, remove the unnecessary parts according to your specific logic.

Enable CKEditor toolbar button only with valid text selection?

I'm working on a CKEditor plugin for annotating text and adding margin comments, but I'd like some of my custom toolbar buttons to be enabled only when the user has already selected a range of text. Whenever the user is typing, or the cursor is at a single-point (instead of a range), the buttons (and their associated commands) should be disabled.
I'm a pretty experienced plugin author, and I've spent a fair amount of time hunting through the core API docs, but I haven't found anything yet that looks like it'll help.
Your case is a little tricky, because selection change event is not well implemented across browsers, FF is the main problem.
In your case you'll going to need check selection changes very frequently, as you're interested in all selection changes therefore CKEditor selectionChange won't fit it.
Fortunately there's a selectionCheck event in editor that fires much more frequently and is implemented for FF.
Solution:
Here you have init method of a plugin that I've mocked to solve your problem. It will disable / enable Source button the way you explained.
I've already added throttling to this function, so that customers with less expansive machine can admire your feature :)
init: function( editor ) {
// Funciton depending on editor selection (taken from the scope) will set the state of our command.
function RefreshState() {
var editable = editor.editable(),
// Command that we want to control.
command = editor.getCommand( 'source' ),
range,
commandState;
if ( !editable ) {
// It might be a case that editable is not yet ready.
return;
}
// We assume only one range.
range = editable.getDocument().getSelection().getRanges()[ 0 ];
// The state we're about to set for the command.
commandState = ( range && !range.collapsed ) ? CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_OFF : CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_DISABLED;
command.setState( commandState );
}
// We'll use throttled function calls, because this event can be fired very, very frequently.
var throttledFunction = CKEDITOR.tools.eventsBuffer( 250, RefreshState );
// Now this is the event that detects all the selection changes.
editor.on( 'selectionCheck', throttledFunction.input );
// You'll most likely also want to execute this function as soon as editor is ready.
editor.on( 'instanceReady', function( evt ) {
// Also do state refresh on instanceReady.
RefreshState();
} );
}
If you are working on a plugin, I guess that you are registering commands with the ckeditor.
In that case, you should provide a refresh method, which will be called by the CKEditor to update the state of the button when needed:
Defined by the command definition, a function to determine the command
state. It will be invoked when the editor has its states or selection
changed.
You can see examples of implementation in several of the plugins developed by the CKEditor team. Here is one taken from the source code of the Link plugin:
refresh: function( editor, path ) {
var element = path.lastElement && path.lastElement.getAscendant( 'a', true );
if ( element && element.getName() == 'a' && element.getAttribute( 'href' ) && element.getChildCount() )
this.setState( CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_OFF );
else
this.setState( CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_DISABLED );
}
Here is the code required to answer exactly the question using the refresh method as suggested by Gyum Fox.
I mention that to make it work, contextSensitive has to be set to 1.
editor.addCommand( 'myCommand', {
exec: function( editor ) {
// Custom logic of the command
},
refresh: function( editor ) {
var editable = editor.editable();
range = editable.getDocument().getSelection().getRanges()[ 0 ]; // We assume only one range.
commandState = ( range && !range.collapsed ) ? CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_OFF : CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_DISABLED;
this.setState( commandState );
},
contextSensitive: 1
});
EDIT: I noticed some refresh issues on my side. So, because of that, I'd go for the Marek Lewandowski answer.

How to place the caret at the end in CKEditor 4?

I'd like to place the caret at the end of the text after focus().
There are a lot of solutions for CKEditor 3, I tried around three of them, but they don't seem to work for CKEditor 4.
Note: I'm using inline-editing with contenteditable="true".
This should do the job (it WFM on themed and inline editors):
CKEDITOR.inline( 'editable', {
on: {
focus: function( evt ) {
setTimeout( function() {
var editor = evt.editor,
range = editor.createRange();
range.moveToElementEditEnd( editor.editable() );
range.select();
range.scrollIntoView();
}, 100 );
}
}
} );
Note that the timeout is required because on focus selection is automatically placed at the beginning or in place which was clicked, so you need to wait a while to overwrite that behaviour. You can check shorter timeouts of course.

Tinymce is (sometimes) undefined

I'm using Tinymce (with jQuery) in a project I'm working at; we use a rich text editor for users to input information; however, sometimes when loading the page Firefox and Chrome will detect a 'tinymce is not defined' error (sometimes at different lines of the code), while other times the page will load just fine. What's weird is that it works perfectly with IE.
Here's a bit of the code I'm using:
view.find('textarea.rich-text').each(function () {
$(this).tinymce( /* ...rules... */);
});
And later on
_variable.find("#summary").tinymce().setContent(content);
This line is where the error (sometimes) gets caught. It seems to me that the problem is a loading issue, even though the tinyMCE plugin is initialized about 5000 lines prior this line.
Update: For now I have managed to 'solve' the problem with a setTimeout, but this seems like a really ugly way to do it.
A few points:
You don't mention whether or not the TinyMCE initialization is done within a jQuery ready event function. It should be of course.
You don't need the each loop. You can just say:
$('textarea.rich-text').tinymce({
script_url : '../js/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js',
theme : "advanced",
...
});
You don't need the call to find since you are just selecting by id. Just do:
$("#summary").tinymce().setContent(content);
Your real issue is probably that tinymce has not finished initializing itself when you get the error. You see it has to load a script from the configured script_url. That may take a while. Therefore, you have to make use of a callback such as oninit.
If you do not have control over init method of TinyMCE then, you can follow this solution.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
function myCustomSetContent( id, content ) {
// Check if TinyMCE is defined or not.
if( typeof tinymce != "undefined" ) {
var editor = tinymce.get( id );
// Check if TinyMCE is initialized properly or not.
if( editor && editor instanceof tinymce.Editor ) {
editor.setContent( text );
editor.save( { no_events: true } );
} else {
// Fallback
// If TinyMCE is not initialized then directly set the value in textarea.
//TinyMCE will take up this value when it gets initialized.
jQuery( '#'+id ).val( text );
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
function myCustomGetContent( id ) {
// Check if TinyMCE is defined or not.
if( typeof tinymce != "undefined" ) {
var editor = tinymce.get( id );
// Check if TinyMCE is initialized properly or not.
if( editor && editor instanceof tinymce.Editor ) {
return editor.getContent();
} else {
// Fallback
// If TinyMCE is not initialized then directly set the value in textarea.
// TinyMCE will take up this value when it gets initialized.
return jQuery( '#'+id ).val();
}
}
return '';
}
$(".class-to-update-content").on("click", function(e) {
myCustomSetContent( "tinymce-editor-id", "New Content in Editor" );
});
$(".class-to-get-content").on("click", function(e) {
$("div.class-to-display-content").html( myCustomGetContent( "tinymce-editor-id" ) );
});
});

jQuery, passing selectors as option parameters

I'm trying to build a simple jquery plugin that can take selectors as parameters. All of the examples I find expect more raw 'properties' (width, color, etc) than actual selectors. Are there any good ways to do this?
I found this article : Passing jquery selector to sub-function within a plugin
But I'm still relatively confused.
The goal is kind of like this ...
(function ($) {
$.fn.demonstration = function (options) {
var defaults = {
$selector: null
};
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
return this.each(function () {
alert($selector.attr('id'));
});
};
})(jQuery);
$('body').demonstration({ $selector: $('#canvas') });
A selector is nothing more than a string. As long as you wrap any access to a jQuery() ($) call, people can pass in pretty much anything (a selector string, a jQuery object, a DOM element, etc.)
Edit: Saw you added code, in this case you should access it by $(options.$selector).attr('id').
Out of curiosity, why the $ before selector?
