sIFR - override link click with onRelease? - ajax

I've got sIFR setup to replace a navigation menu (looks pretty slick). It's individually replacing the LIs and their internal links. I have an onRelease tag that throws properly, extracts the actual href link address, all good so far. I want to tie this into an AJAX page loader, with backwards-compatability (+SEO) for the individual pages being able to load themselves. I've tried return false like I would for standard links, no dice.
I'm assuming it doesn't work because it's onRelease, not onClick or something BEFORE it is already changing the page? onClick doesn't seem to be a valid sIFR function, documentation at http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr3/JavaScript+Methods says onRollOver, onRollOut, and onRelease. It would be a shame to have to pitch my entire AJAX system, there is hopefully a good workaround!

There isn't really an option to prevent the default behaviour. You can change it in sIFR.as though. Assuming the <li> contains just a <a> remove the following around line 505:
getURL(sIFR.instance.primaryLink, sIFR.instance.primaryLinkTarget);
That will prevent sIFR from following the URL when you click on the link. It'll still work with right-click though, but you might be able to fix that by changing (line 508):
menu.customItems = menuItems;
to
menu.customItems = [];

Link directly to a notebook page in a view

I have an view that extends the current project view, where we add multiple tabs (notebook pages) to show information from other parts of a project.
One of these pages is an overview page that summarizes what is under the other tabs, and I'd like to link the headlines for each section directly to each displayed page. I've currently solved this by using the index of each tab and calling bootstrap's .tab('show') method on the link within the tab:
$(".overview-link").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var sel = '.nav-tabs a:eq(' + $(this).data('tab-index') + ')';
$(sel).tab('show');
});
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="<int>" to each header link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab later, the current indices will be broken. Earlier I relied on the anchor on each tab, but that broke as well (and would probably break if a new notebook page were inserted as well).
Triggering a web client redirect / form link directly works, but I want to show a specific page in the view:
this.do_action({
type: 'ir.actions.act_window',
res_model: 'my.model.name',
res_id: 'my.object.id',
view_mode: 'form',
view_type: 'form',
views: [[false, 'form']],
target: 'current'
});
Is there any way to link / redirect the web client directly to a specific notebook page tab through the do_action method or similar on FormWidget?
If I understood well you want to select the tab from the JavaScript (jQuery) FormWidget taking into account that the id could change if anybody install another module that adds another tab

You can add a class to the page in the xml form view. You can use the id of the element selected by this class name in order to call the right anchor and select the right tab item. This should happen when the page is completely loaded:
<page class="nb_page_to_select">
$('a[href=#' + $('.nb_page_to_select').attr('id') + ']').click()
NOTE: As you have said the following paragrah I assume that you know where to run this instruction. The solution I suggest is independent of the index.

Solution 1
When the page is loaded you can get the tab list DOM object like this:
var tablist = $('ul[role="tablist"]')
And then you can click on the specifict tab, selecing by the text inside the anchor. So you don't depend on the tab index:
tablist.find('a:contains("Other Information")').click()
I think if you have two tabs with the same text does not make any sense, so this should be sufficient.
Solution 2
Even if you want to be more specific you can add a class to the notebook to make sure you are in the correct notebook
<notebook class="nt_to_change">
Now you can use one of this expressions in order to select the tab list
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul.nav-tabs[role="tablist"]')
// or
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul[role="tablist"]')
Solution 3
If the contains selector doesn't convince you because it should be equal you can do this as well to compare and filter
tablist.find('a').filter(function() {
return $.trim($(this).text()) === "Other Information";
}).click();
Where "Other Information" is the string of the notebook page
I didn't tried the solution I'm giving to you, but if it doesn't work at least may be it makes you come up with some idea.
There's a parameter for XML elements named autofocus (for buttons and fields is default_focus and takes 1 or 0 as value). If you add autofocus="autofocus" to a page in XML, this page will be the displayed one when you open the view.
So, you can try to add this through JavaScript, when the user clicks on the respective link -which honestly, I don't know how to achieve that by now-. But you can add a distinctive context parameter to each link in XML, for example context="{'page_to_display': 'page x'}". When you click on the link, I hope these context keys will arrive to your JS method.
If not, you can also modify the fields_view_get method (here I wrote how to do that: Odoo - Hide button for specific user) to check if you get the context you've added to your links and add the autofocus parameter to the respective page.
As you said:
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="" to each header
link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab
later, the current indices will be broken.
I assume that your app allow multi-user interaction in realtime, so you have to integrate somewhere in your code, an update part function.
This function will trig if something has changed and cleanout the data to rebuilt the index in order to avoid that the current indices will be broken.

How do clear words/images upon form validation? (AngularJS)

Just to be clear, in the subject line, it says "words/images". The "words" part is not about clearing the words in the form, but rather the word "required". As for images, these are validation images, like the green checkmark.
I just realized that I had no clue how to clear words/images upon form completion in AngularJS. Basically, the checkmark stays, and the word "required" appears after submitting the validated form. It does so, because now the form is empty. I tried using the $setPristine in the script page,
$scope.imgHolderComments.$setPristine(true);
knowing that it would probably not work. I looked for a workaround, so I checked out this impressive thread (but realized this was more for the validation itself and not added words/images).
Reset form to pristine state (AngularJS 1.0.x)
Then I tried using this code which I had used prior to today for the pre-validation. Or if you will, for the live validation, before submitting the form. I thought I could recycle this, but no.
$scope.checkUrl = 'images/validation/y_square_trans.png';
$scope.loadUrl = 'images/validation/loading.gif';
$scope.crossUrl = 'images/validation/loading_wrong.gif';
$scope.imgHolderComments = '';
$scope.comments = "";
$scope.timeout = null;
$scope.imgHolderComments = ($scope.reviewForm.comments.$invalid) ? $scope.crossUrl : $scope.crossUrl;
That looked so dirty, but thought it could work after pushing the data in. But the image stayed there (as you can see, I tried replacing the checkmark with a cross instead, as I did not want to create a blank pic).
I also googled it, but everything I could find had to do with two things: clearing the form AND removing the coloured frame (red/green). of course, my form already does that. So, I'm still trying to find a way to remove the word "required" and the gif image in my form upon successful validation.
In any case, I created a plunker. You'll have to click on the word "Reviews" to show the form.

Have a look at the directives ng-show and ng-hide.
You can set $scope.allGood = true; somewhere in your controller (after validation) and use this directive: <span ng-hide="allGood">Required</span>
Edit:
You might also want to look at the ng-class directive. Example:
<span ng-class="{green: allGood == 1}">Name:</span> and obviously style the class green to your needs.

Wicket replacing panel with ajax fails with MarkupNotFoundException

the page markup has
<div wicket:id="stepPanel" />
tag in it and when the page is first loaded it works great that is
add(new MyFirstPanel("stepPanel"));
works fine. But then when I trigger an Ajax event and request redrawing
addOrReplace(new MySecondPanel("stepPanel"));
target.add(MyPage.this);
i get the following error
Last cause: Failed to find markup file associated. MyFirstPanel: [MyFirstPanel [Component id = stepPanel]]
please note that it tries to find the wrong markup (should look for markup for MySecondPanel) and it fails regardless it succedded to do so before!
I instantiate panels using reflection, but could it be a problem here? No exceptions thrown.
Anwser:
Actually it was something else - I have noticed that one of my AjaxSubmitLinks had reference to a form that was no longer placed in a markup... so whatever you do just remember not to leave that reference.
You are adding MyPage after replacing the Panel causing MyPage to re-render.
There is a good example on how to replace panels here.
Yes you can call panels via reflection. I don't clearly know what you are trying to do with event here but if you want you can attach your panel with AjaxSelfUpdatingTimerBehavior and define the duration which will update this component in the given time period.
Hope its useful.

kendoui validation tooltip in custom popup editor not positioning correctly

Please see jsfiddle for example, blank out First Name field to have validation tooltip show. In a normal form the validation tooltip positions correctly to the right of each element. But in the popup editor for the grid it still trying to position the tooltip below the element as if it where editing inline. I have tried <span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="FirstName"></span>but it doesn't change anything. Is there a setting I am missing to get this working in popupeditor? I guess I could manually modify the .k-tooltip but I am hoping for something more built in that handles the positioning correctly, because I am not very good at css.
As you've discovered, the error template for the grid is different to that provided by the kendo validator when applied to standard inputs.
Unfortunately, the validator that is created internally by the grid does not pass along any errorTemplate that you might define in the options object and by the time the "edit" event fires, the validator has already been created and the error template compiled, hence why setting the errorTemplate in the manner you describe does not work. Really, I think the Kendo grid should respect any user defined errorTemplate option but until it does we have to hack a little bit.
The key is to define a custom template and to apply it in the edit event, but instead of using the options object, set the private instance directly. Not ideal, but it works:
edit: function (e) {
e.sender.editable.validatable._errorTemplate =
kendo.template($('#tooltip-template').html());
}
See this updated fiddle for an example of what I think you might be looking to achieve.
http://jsfiddle.net/nukefusion/eQ2j7/10/
(I would post this as a comment but not enough reputation yet...)
I'm successfully using nukefusion's solution. I, too, fought with the syntax error from jQuery for a long time and discovered through debugging that how you define the template is important. In particular, it appears that the template has to be written on a single line without any formatting, as in:
<script id="tooltip-template" type="text/x-kendo-template"><span class="k-widget k-tooltip k-tooltip-validation"><span class="k-icon k-warning"></span>#=message#</span></script>
If you try to make it "pretty" and format the html in the template, you get the syntax error. I don't know where the real bug is, as this sort of thing shouldn't cause an error. But it does and I stopped worrying about it once I got it to work correctly.

Don't know how to use Cufon.refresh() on website with ajax

I have searched on this matter but havent been able to find an answer that work for me.
On my website I have one page with a menu and a div. When clicking on a menu link the information in the div changes (ajax). But then Cufón stop working in that div. I have read about Cufon.refresh but can't get it to work. Which code should I use and where do I put it?
My links look like this:test
I have read about Cufon.refresh at this page but I don't understand how to use it: https://github.com/sorccu/cufon/wiki/API
Cufon.refresh also does not work for me. A workaround is to use Cufon.replace again.
Based on the JS you are using, you can edit the trigger function to work like the below and see if that works. Essentially, it will refresh the Cufon call after you have updated the content on that element.
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) if (xmlhttp.status == 200)
{
document.getElementById(ajaxdestination).innerHTML =xmlhttp.responseText;
Cufon.refresh('#ajaxdestination');
}
