I have a simple comment section where users can post comments to another users post - It works pretty much in the style of facebook wall where a user can write something on the wall and other can comment on it.
So I have this form where the user can enter anything and when he submits - that information is inserted in the database and shown on the same page below the form using Jquery.
Now each of these post have a comment link next to it. So when someone clicks on the comment link - a small textarea box appears where the user can type something and submit.
Everything works great on the previously posted items- except that the comment link on the newly created element does not open up the textbox area.
After searching I came across the Livequery plugin which I implemented - but that doesn't seem to work for me - looks like I'm doing something wrong.
This is the code that I had previously:
$(".comment_button").click(function(){
var element = $(this);
var I = element.attr("id");
//alert("in="+I);;
$("#slidepanel"+I).slideToggle(300);
$(this).toggleClass("active");
return false;
});
I changed this to use livequery:
$('.comment_button').livequery('click',function(event) {
var element = $(this);
var I = element.attr("id");
//alert("in="+I);;
$("#slidepanel"+I).slideToggle(300);
$(this).toggleClass("active");
return false;
});
This is the link for comment
<a id="<?php echo $data['shopping_id']?>" class="comment_button" href="<?php echo $data['shopping_id']?>">Comment</a>
Thanks for your tips
You don't need livequery, just live. Replace livequery with live and it should work fine.

I use ajax to render a content page with a Facebook Like Button plugin in it.
The problem is that when the user clics Like, Facebook will extract meta info but I don't know how to assign the meta with ajax.
I tried using append to head int FB.init but it seems to not work and the update isn't reflected when users like the page on Facebook
$('head').append("<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock"/>');
The problem is that facebook like will extract meta info but I don't know how to assign the meta with ajax.
I tried use append to head int FB.init but it seems not work.
Of course this does not work, because Facebook’s scraper requests your URLs from your server – and does not care about what the DOM might currently look like in any user’s browser.
You can not add Open Graph meta data client-side.
Actually you can use such script:
/// Append Meta tags
function setMT(metaName, name, value) {
var t = 'meta['+metaName+'='+name+']';
var mt = $(t);
if (mt.length === 0) {
t = '<meta '+metaName+'="'+name+'" />';
mt = $(t).appendTo('head');
}
mt.attr('content', value);
}
and call this function from body:
setMT('property', 'og:title', 'Title for Facebook');
I have similar on the News Site at http://www.livepage.info
be careful with using '.append()'.
According to the JQuery Docs, this method has a move effect (reads from source, copies to destination and removes the source).
A theoretical way is something like this:
headObj = $("head");
keywordObj = $(headObj).find("meta[name='keywords']");
newKeywords = $(keywordObj).attr("content");
newKeywords += myKeywords;
$(keywordObj).attr("content", newKeywords);
Download and install the plugin FireBug for browser FireFox, so you can check the changes at runtime.
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() {
$('??????').trigger('click');
});
</script>
What would replace the question marks?
Also i know i would need to put a timer into the jquery code but how do i get the link below to trigger?
http://mydomain.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_content§ionid=1&task=edit&cid[]=97
In the toolbar.content.html.php file joomla has this:
class TOOLBAR_content
{
function _EDIT($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§ionid=<?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.
So i I have a page that contains links that call an httpRequest. The request calls a php file that grabs data from mysql and pre populates a form which is then returned to the browser/webpage. My problem is that when the page is returned to the browser via the httpRequest/ajax the text area does not display the tinymce editor, it just displays a normal text area. It looks like my request and ajax is working fine the text area just doesn't have the tinycme editor on it.
When i don't use ajax it works fine but when i put it in a separate file and call it via ajax it doesn't bring in the tinymce editor.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem so that my ajax generated page displays the text area with the tinymce editor. Thank you.
Lets presume that your thinyMCE instance is initialized with code below
// initialize tinyMCE in page
tinyMCE.init({
mode: "textareas",
theme: "advanced"
});
and you have some kind of button somewhere in the page. For purpose of this tip, i will not give it any ID but you may. Now, using jQuery you can easily attach event handler to that button which will call through AJAX your server and take content which you want to put tinyMCE editor. Code which will do such job would look somehow like below.
$(function() {
$("button").bind("click", function() {
var ed = tinyMCE.get('content');
ed.setProgressState(1); // Show progress
$.getJSON('/page/12.json', { /* your data */
}, function(data) {
ed.setProgressState(0); // Hide progress
ed.setContent(data["body"]);
}
});
});
});
You can see that on button.click ajax will call url /page/12.json which will return JSON as response. bare minimum of that response could be:
{
title: "Page title",
body: "<html><head><title>Page title</title>......</html>"
}
I attached anonymous function as callback which will handle response from server. and hide progress indicator which is shown before ajax call.
About JSON
JSON is shorten of JavaScript Object Notation. It is JavaScript code!!! So don't be confused about it. Using JSON you can make javascript object which can have attributes you can use later in your code to access particular peace of data which that object "holds". You can look at it as some kind of data structure if it is easier to you.
Anyway, to show you how this JSON can be created by hand look at examples below
var data = new Object();
data.title = "Page title";
data.body = "<html....";
or
var data = {
title: "page title",
body: "<html...."
};
it is very same thing.
If you want to learn more about JSON point your browser to http://json.org.
===== alternative =====
Alternative to json solution could be just plane ajax call to server and response can be plain HTML (from your question I can assume that you have something like this already). So instad of calling $.getJSON you can use $.get(url, callback); to do same thing. The code at the top of my answer will not dramatically change. Instead of geting JSON in response you will get string which is HTML.
----------- BOTTOM LINE -------
I prefer JSON since it can be easily extended later with other attributes, so there is no painful code changes later ;)
Problem here will be that when you return the full page and render it using the ajax response, your tinymce instance has not been shut down before.
In order to do this you can call this small piece of code before you render the ajax response:
tinymce.execCommand('mceRemoveControl',true,'editor_id');
In this case the editor should initialize correctly. You are not allowed to initialize a tinymce editor with the same id before shutting the first one down.
Strangely i ran into this problem yesterday. Following code should work, but YMMV. Trick is to use the correct steps in ajax events. I used the Regular TinyMCE and made use of the jQuery library already included.
Following goes into your tinyMCE initialization tinyMCE.init() . All of the below block should be outside the document.ready.
myTinyInit = {
//.......All essential keys/values ...........
setup : function(ed) {
ed.onChange.add(function( ed ) {
tinyMCE.triggerSave();
}) }
//.....................
};
// Init the tinyMCE
tinyMCE.init(myTinyInit);
This ensures the content is being saved regularly onto the textarea that holds the value. Next step is setting up the request events.
Normally tinyMCE mceAddControl before the ajax post and mceRemoveControl after the ajax success should do the trick. But I found that often does not work.
I used the form as the jQuery selector in my case.
jQuery( '.myForm' )
.find( 'textarea#myTextArea' )
.ajaxStart(function() {
// If you need to copy over the values, you can do it here.
// If you are using jQuery form plugin you can bind to form-pre-serialize event instead.
// jQuery( this ).val( tinyMCE.get( jQuery( this ).attr( 'id' )).getContent() );
}).ajaxSend( function() {
// ! - step 2
// My case was multiple editors.
myEds = tinyMCE.editors;
for( edd in myEds ) {
myEds[ eds ].remove();
}
// tinyMCE.get( 'myTextarea' ).remove();
// strangely mceRemoveControl didnt work for me.
// tinyMCE.execCommand( 'mceRemoveControl', false, jQuery( this ).attr('id'));
}).ajaxSuccess(function() {
// Now we got the form again, Let's put up tinyMCE again.
txtID = jQuery( this ).attr( 'id' );
// ! - step 3
tinyMCE.execCommand( 'mceAddControl', false, txtID );
// Restore the contents into TinyMCE.
tinyMCE.get( txtID ).setContent( jQuery( this ).val());
});
Problems i came across :
Using mceRemoveControl always gave me r is undefined error persistently.
If you get a blank tinyMCE editor, check the DOM whether the ID of the textarea is replaced with something like mce_02, this means that TinyMCE is being initialized again or something is wrong with the order. If so, the tinyMCE is duplicated with each save.
if you are new to JS, I recommend using jQuery with the form plugin, it might be easier for you. But do use the regular non-jquery tinyMCE, as it is well documented.
I fixed this problem by recalling the function after the ajax call. In this part of my ajax:
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
document.getElementById("Content").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
tinymce();
Now it works fine.
I'm using Magento to build a storefront - I'm not used to Prototype, but that's what they use by default, so I'm trying to play nice. I have used the tabs setup provided in the Modern theme (built by the Magento team), and I've integrated it into my theme and it works great.
Where I need help is in directly linking to a specific tab - I've created a tab to house the product reviews, and that works fine, but there are links higher up on the page that link to reviews - however, they are linking to another page, which I would rather not use. I'm not familiar with the prototype being used, and I don't know what the link would look like to link to the tab - I'd like the experience to be something similar to:
1) Click on the link
2) The reviews tab opens and the page moves you down to it - like a run-of-the-mill anchor.
The href value of the tab is simply:
javascript:void(0);
The javascript that runs the operation is this:
Varien.Tabs = Class.create();
Varien.Tabs.prototype = {
initialize: function(selector) {
var self=this;
$$(selector+' a').each(this.initTab.bind(this));
},
initTab: function(el) {
el.href = 'javascript:void(0)';
if ($(el.parentNode).hasClassName('active')) {
this.showContent(el);
}
el.observe('click', this.showContent.bind(this, el));
},
showContent: function(a) {
var li = $(a.parentNode), ul = $(li.parentNode);
ul.select('li', 'ol').each(function(el){
var contents = $(el.id+'_contents');
if (el==li) {
el.addClassName('active');
contents.show();
} else {
el.removeClassName('active');
contents.hide();
}
});
}
}
new Varien.Tabs('.product-tabs');
My guess is that I need to invoke the showContent function and just force it to use the reviews tab, but I'm not quite sure how to do this. If anyone could shed some light on it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
Not entirely the right answer, ie it cheats a bit, but we solved this by using jQuery's 'click()' function to simulate the tab click.
ie
Gave the reviews tab title anchor an id of 'tab-reviews-tab' and in our link at the top of the page added the following JS:
jQuery('#tab-reviews-tab').click();
Obviously it would be silly to include jQuery just for this, but if you're using it for something else already, sticking to what you know can work!
If someone is still interested in a solution, here is a hint to the same question:

Hope this can help u.
The answer to your question is on gist and ipaste.
Here's this summary:
You need to save the Varien.Tabs object in a var so replace the new Varien.Tabs('.product-tabs'); with var csTabs = new Varien.Tabs('.product-tabs');
If you are only doing this one time just create link as such:
<a href="#" onclick="javascript:csTabs.showContent($$('#product_tabs_email_or_other_id a')[0]);" >The Link</a>
If you expect to do this often just add a new method to the Varien.Tabs (at line 75)
openTab: function(b) {
var controlledLink = $$("#"+b+" a")[0];
this.showContent(controlledLink);
}
Now your links work like this:

I'm trying to do a simple update, but can't figure out somthing.
I have a table that i get from a DB with an Edit button that when i press change to a Save button so i can save with Ajax the record that the user just edit.
I'm doing the first part just fine, have one function that do all the jquery stuff on the page (that is working just fine).
Now I want to change the $('#a'+productID) line to save insted of edit. i am changing the link attribute also, so when the user presses save it will send him to a function that will make the Ajax request and update the record.
But i dont have a clue how to start that....I don't think it has any thing to do with any bind function becouse i am allready binded by calling the save function (or am i wrong and need to bind antway???) can any one help me out here?
P.S. the save function recives the productID do i have the right product when i will need it.
Don't have a code to send for the save function becouse i don't know how to start it and every thing i tried doesn't work....sorry :-(
It might be easier if you simply had both buttons on the page and toggled between them depending on the page state.
<a id="editButton" href="http://example.com/widget/edit/1">Edit</a>
<a id="saveButton" href="http://example.com/widget/update/1" style="display: none;">Save</a>
$(function(){
$('#editButton').click( function() {
// set up the form as edit...
$(this).hide();
$('#saveButton').show();
return false;
});
$('#saveButton').click( function() {
var button = $(this);
var href = button.attr('href');
$.post(href,$('form').serialize(), function() {
// change form back to readonly...
button.hide();
$('#editButton').show();
}
});
});
