I'm using the Like Box social plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/) and it works great.
Problem is that I'm using it within a Rails 4 application with Turbolinks. Whenever I reload a page, the like box shows up. If I click on any link, the next page loads and the Like Box doesn't show up.
I tried this already but didn't worked =/
http://reed.github.io/turbolinks-compatibility/facebook.html
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
The link you have posted in original question is quite nice. It asks us to create three functions:
1) saveFacebookRoot: This is needed so that the div#fb-root can be restored at a later point. This is called upon page:fetch. page:fetch is called while the DoM is still of the old page. i.e: new page has not replaced the old page
2) restoreFacebookRoot: This is needed to that the div#fb-root can be appended back to the page. It is called on page:change. page:change is called when the new DoM is available.
3) There is minor typo in there. We need to call this in page:load
FB.XFBML.parse() // Correct
Instead of :
FB?.XFBML.parse() // InCorrect
Remember that when the page is first reloaded, only the page:change is called out of these three.
The trick here is the use of global variables fb_root and fb_events_bound. These must be accessible in all other pages, but this is the reason why we hate turbolinks in the first place.

Install observejs:
gem 'observejs'
Then add tag to the widget:
<div as="FB" class="fb-comments" data-href="<%= request.original_url %>"></div>
Then create a new script in javascripts folder (fb.coffee in my example):
ObserveJS.bind 'FB', class
root: document.createElement('div')
#::root.id = 'fb-root'
loaded: =>
if !document.body.contains(#root)
document.body.appendChild(#root)
if FB?
FB.XFBML.parse()
else
#initialize()
initialize: =>
js = document.createElement('script')
script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]
js = document.createElement('script')
js.id = 'facebook-jssdk'
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=YOUR_APP_ID&version=VERSION_OF_API"
script.parentNode.insertBefore(js, script)
Include the js files in your application.js
//= require observejs
//= require fb

Hi I am trying to use drag and drop external events for fullcalendar and get working with the yii extension full calender - which seems to be just a wrapper.
The part that is not working (no errors just does not work) is dragging the external event onto the calendar and it staying there. It drags over but it just returns home.
Reading the fullcalendar docs - it looks like I need to provide a callback function to 'drop' attribute. I've been using the external-event example which is part of full calendar. I did discover the example was using the object name '#calendar' and that yii is creating name '#yw0' but it still didn't work after I updated.
I cannot find a way to get it work. I tried a simple alert which sort of works, it is called on page load - not after a drag operation.
So I declared a variable with the function in View
//$dropcallback=new CJavaScriptExpression("alert('hi')");
$dropcallback=new CJavaScriptExpression(
"function(date, allDay) {
var originalEventObject = $(this).data('eventObject');
var copiedEventObject = $.extend({}, originalEventObject);
copiedEventObject.start = date;
copiedEventObject.allDay = allDay;
$('#yw0').fullCalendar('renderEvent', copiedEventObject, true);
if ($('#drop-remove').is(':checked')) {
// if so, remove the element from the Draggable Events list
$(this).remove();
}
}
");
Then I create the widgit like this
$this->widget('ext.EFullCalendar.EFullCalendar', array(
'themeCssFile'=>'cupertino/jquery-ui.min.css',
'options'=>array(
'header'=>array(
'left'=>'prev,next',
'center'=>'title',
'right'=>'today'
),
'editable'=>true,
'dropable'=>true,
'drop'=>$dropcallback,
'events'=>Game::model()->gameCalendarData(),
)));
My yii experiance is little and same with JS - so any help appreciated in how to get this working.
I understand that in JS you need to provide a callback to allow the drag op to succeed. But what sort of call back do I need when it is wrapped in a yii widgit? I tried a PHP callback and again it is only called on page load.
The result I wish is that I can build the external events list from the DB - allow users to drag them onto the calendar - and save them in the DB.
I did manage to get data from DB displayed in the calendar.
Thanks
Droppable is spelt with two p's. So
'dropable'=>true,
Should be
'droppable'=>true,
If clarification is needed, please let me know. If it can't be done, please let me know this as well. I am desperately trying to figure this out still
I was following Google's Dev guide to the Share button at the following site:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/
and I can not seem to figure out how, if it's even possible, to use a custom icon AND use the current URL instead of having to specify a URL.
I found this section of their site that specifies an anchor tag address:
"https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}"
This would allow me to use a custom icon (and the only way I can use a custom icon as far as I can tell) and a few other custom parameters as well. But it looks like this method requires a specified URL and, as far as I can tell, provides no method to dynamically create the link depending on the current page.
If I use the code generator at the top, it will use the current page, but it calls on a Google hosted Java Script and in addition, it is a hover link that pops up when I hover over the icon. And of course, I also can't use a custom icon with the generator either.
I've been Googling every search term I could think of and searching this site as well and I haven't been able to find anyone else asking this question as of yet. I figured after about 20-30 minutes of searching that I wasn't going to find my answer via searching, so i apologize if this has been answered.
Just some background on my experience to give an idea of where I sit: I have a decent grasp of the workings of HTML and CSS. Javascript, however, I understand very very basic theory and that's about it. I definitely intend to learn, however, as it will prove a very valuable skill.
Thank you very much!!
I think I know what needs to be done, but...I don't know how to do it (or if it would even work) :|
my share link needs to link to a script that looks at the current page's URL, and then takes that information, and creates a dynamic link from it that will take the user to the following link: https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL from query will be here}.
I think that might work...it sounds like it would. Any thoughts? If so, any simple scripts around that would do just this?
Double thanks!!
--I finally found something that works, but it uses Javascript and I don't fully understand it, just enough to tweak it. It took me forever to find this, but it works with Google Plus, Facebook, or Twitter! (and I'm sure it will work with any other website that supplies a Share Link that requires a specified URL)
Here it is, I'm still looking for a better solution, but this does exactly what I was looking for:
<a href="javascript:(
function(){
var w=480;var h=380;
var x=Number((window.screen.width-w)/2);
var y=Number((window.screen.height-h)/2);
window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'
&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title),'','width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y +',
scrollbars=no');
})();" style="background: url(/wp-content/themes/HTML5/images/googleplus.png) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;">
Share to Google+</a>
EDIT! After spending some months learning Javascript, I've built a solution that is much better than that which is provided below. I'll leave my original answer, however, I want to place this better solution at the top.
This solution should work on ANY social media platform that gives you a custom share URL (that is to say, a url that allows you to manually type in an address to share).
Here is how it all works (and if anyone has any suggestions or tweaks that have more experience with JS, please let me know).
I assign variables to the document.URL and document.titleproperties.
I write a named function (I called mine, socialShare) that is set to run via an anonymous function on the window.onloadevent.
The socialShare function assigns variables to the location of my social button's within the HTML. In my case, I used IDs to locate the elements. The purpose of these variables is purely for aesthetics (I use these variables to re-write the the HTML code dynamically, so that when you hover over the share button, it displays the correct URL for sharing the current page you are on)
var fbShare = document.getElementById("fbShare");
var gplusShare = document.getElementById("gplusShare");
twitterShare = document.getElementById("twitterShare");
I then write three separate anonymous functions, one for each social media platform. Each function has two statements. The functions work as follows: the first part is the variable assigned to the location of the HTML element with the ID fbShare. The second part tells it to run the function when that element is clicked; .onclick. The third part is the anonymous function that will run when that element is clicked. The first statement of this function will open a new window; window.open; and in that new window, it will open the URL that is specified by feeding the window.open method parameters. The parameters are as follows (URL,name,specs) where URL is the URL you want to share, name is optional and left blank as seen by the empty set of quotes, and finally specs is where you specify attributes of the window (IE: width and height). The first parameter, the URL: ("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL, currentURL is the global variable that was assigned earlier and will place whatever the current documents URL is, in place of currentURL. The second parameter, the name: "", This is left blank, as it is optional. The third parameter, the specs: "height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0"); These are a comma-seperated list of items. In my case, I've specified a height, width, and the location of the window, as well as disabled the menubar. Finally, the second statement, return false; tells the browser NOT to follow the link inside the HTML code. If this was not specified, then the browswer would follow the URL in the HTML, AND open a new window. For more information on the window.open method, please see the link at the bottom of this new answer.
fbShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL,"","height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
gplusShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL,"","height=550,width=525,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
twitterShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle,"","height=260,width=500,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
And finally, I modify the HTML href elements of each social media button so that when the user hovers over the share buttons, they see the correct Share URL displayed in their browsers status bar. The first part of this statement grabs the element id, fbShare and the second part tells it to set an attribute, .setAttribute. Then we pass in the attribute name that we want to change, ("href", in this case, and then we pass in what we would like the new attribute value to be, "http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL); currentURL is the same here, as earlier. It is the variable that holds the value for whatever the current page's URL is.
fbShare.setAttribute("href","http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL);
gplusShare.setAttribute("href","https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL);
twitterShare.setAttribute("href","https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle);
That's about all there is to it! I hope I wrote this well and I hope it is relatively easy to follow. If any pros out there have any suggestions, please feel free to toss in and give your advice! :)

OLD ANSWER: I figured I'd add this as an answer. It does the trick and solves the exact problem that I had. The URL after 'window.open' would be the social media's Share Link (in the case of the example, it's google plus' Share Link. There are a few variables that can be either modified or removed. Anyone that's good with scripting could probably create a PHP version (which I would LOVE) or modify it to better suite their needs. At any rate, I hope this will help someone out!

Share to Google+</a>
Native Window Open function its not a good idea, browsers like Mozilla and Chrome block pop up. I think its better use a plugin to open a new windows with the share url, like jquery popup plugin. Work very fine for me and browser cant block it.
Copy an paste into a new js file like original name: 'jquery.popup.js'
jQuery.fn.popup = function(options) {
var defaults = {
width: screen.width/2,
height: screen.height/2,
titlebar: false,
status: false,
resizable: true,
toolbar: false,
scrollbars: true,
menubar: false
};
var options = jQuery.extend(defaults, options);
Boolean.prototype.setProperty = function() {
if (this == true) { return "yes"; } else { return "no"; }
};
jQuery(this).click( function() {
var target = this.target;
var href = this.href;
var posY = (parseInt(screen.height/2)) - (parseInt(options.height/2));
var posX = (parseInt(screen.width/2)) - (parseInt(options.width/2));
var win = window.open(href, target, 'titlebar=' + options.titlebar.setProperty() + ', screenX='+ posX +', screenY='+ posY +', left='+ posX +', top='+ posY +', status=' + options.status.setProperty() + ', resizable=' + options.resizable.setProperty() + ', toolbar=' + options.toolbar.setProperty() + ', scrollbars=' + options.scrollbars.setProperty() + ', menubar=' + options.menubar.setProperty() + ', width='+ options.width +', height='+ options.height);
win.focus();
return false;
});
return this;
};
USAGE:
<script src="jquery.last.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.popup.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function(){
//simple load
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480 });
});
</script>
<a class='popupLink' href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<?php echo URL;?>">Share Facebook</a>
ALSO YOU CAN PASS OPTIONS LIKE THE PLUGIN EXAMPLE OPTIONS
<script>
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480, resizable: false, menubar: true });
</script>
The author website dont exist any more. This are the information that comes with the plugin comments

You can also use PHP to resize the window but here is the PHP version... Have fun :)

I have a web2py SQLFORM that gets generated and returned by an AJAX call and the form is put in a DIV I defined.. I want that SQLFORM to be an update form, not an insert form. The problem is the form immediately runs it's accept function once it is written to that DIV. This doesn't happen if the form is for inserting, only updating. That initial accept fails and hitting the submit button does not allow for a second accept.
I don't know why the accept fails or why it happens immediately.
heres the JavaScript function that makes the AJAX call
function displayForm(currID){
//Remove everything from the DIV we want to use
$('#window').empty();
//Call the ajax to bring down the form to update the series
ajax('{{=URL('newForm')}}/'+currID,
[], 'window');
}
And here is the newForm controller
def newSerForm():
record = db.myTable(request.args[0])
form = SQLFORM(db.myTable, record, fields=['series_name','image_thumbnail'])
if form.accepts(request.vars,session):
print 'Series update successful!'
else:
print 'Series update Failed...'
return form
displayForm is fired by clicking a button and once you do the form accepts and fails and the submit button doesn't work again. Is there a way to make an SQLFORM do this? The weird thing is if I change this to make inserts into myTable, it works fine. It behaves exactly as it should. But doing it this way doesn't work.
Ok now this is where it gets weird.
I tried to achieve the same functionality here with a totally different approach, an iFrame. I made new functions in my controllers that create the form based on request.args[0]. looks like this
def editEntry():
print request.args[0]
record = db.myTable(request.args[0])
form = SQLFORM(db.CC_user_submission, record, fields=['series_name', 'image_thumbnail']).process()
return dict(form=form)
And then a corresponding HTML page that just displays form. What could be simpler right? I go to that page based on a link that gives the correct argument. Take me to a page with a form for updating. Updating works perfect. Great, now lets put it in an iFrame instead of linking to it. I put it in an iFrame on the original page. Open up the iFrame. Doesn't work. I have no idea what is going is there any part of an explanation to this?
By using the iFrame method I actually got this one to work. Since it required an iFrame to be appended with jQuery which needs quotes and the iFrame URL which also needs quotes, the notation got pretty confusing but it's doable. Looked like this:
var myURL = "{{=URL('editEntry')}}/"+idArg.toString();
$('#window').append("<iframe src = " + myURL + " width='450' height='400'> </iframe>");
It's not pretty but it works.
Update #1: after the fix I commented about, now my app starts but the grid is not rendered except for its bounding box and filter button and popup. Yet, I get no error from the console, and as far as I can arrive with the debugger, I can see that data got from the server are OK. If I use Batarang, I can see the scope corresponding to my model, correctly filled with items. I updated the downloadable repro solution accordingly. Could anyone explain why ng-grid is not updating here?
I'm starting to play with ng-grid and TypeScript and I'm finding issues as soon as my test app starts up. See the bottom of this post for a link to a full test solution. Surely I have made tons of errors even in these few files, but I'd like to have something to start with and learn more step by step.
The MVC app has two client-side applications:
app.js for the default view (Home/Index). No typescript here, and the whole code is self-contained in this single file. The code is derived from the paging example in the ng-grid documentation and tries to stay as simplest as possible.
MyApp.js for the more realistic sample in another view (Home/Model). This sample uses services, models and controllers and its JS code is compiled from TypeScript. To keep things simple, I'm just storing these components under Scripts/App, in folders for Controllers, Models and Services, and each file contains just a single class or interface. The generated JS files are manually included in the view.
app.js works, except that it has issues with filtering. I posted about these here:
Server-side filtering with ng-grid: binding issue?
MyApp.js has startup issues with ng-grid. As soon as the app starts, a TypeError is thrown in the grid binding:
TypeError: Cannot set property 'gridDim' of undefined

The only similar issue I found by googling is https://github.com/angular-ui/ng-grid/issues/60, but it does not seem to be related to my case as there the grid options were setup too late.
The server side just has an API RESTful controller returning server-paged, sorted and filtered items.
You can find the full repro solution here (just save, unzip and open; all the dependencies come from NuGet); see the readme.txt file for more information:

Just start the app and click MODEL in the upper right corner to run the TypeScript app throwing the error. The whole app is composed of 1 controller, 1 service and 1 model.
For starters like me, it would be nice to have a simple working example like this one. Could anyone help?
This error means gridOptions has not yet been defined by the time that Angular attempts to parse ng-grid="yourArray", where yourArray is the same array supplied to gridOptions. I had the same problem after refactoring a previously working ng-grid.
So gridOptions must be defined before the element which has ng-grid="yourArray" attribute applied to it (rather than within that element's own controller).
I resolved this by defining gridOptions in an outer element somewhere (on global/app scope, for instance).
P.S. Maybe there is a better way, but this has worked for me.
Where you are adding data to your grid?
If you are writing $scope.myGrid={data:"someObj"}; in a success call then it won't work.
See the below reason:(which is listed in https://github.com/angular-ui/ng-grid/issues/60)
You can't define the grid options in the success call. You need to define
them on the scope in your controller and then set the data or column
definitions, etc... from the success call.
What you have to do?, First is to see how this made your project and revizar if your queries or data access, the beams through a service, if so this I must add the file that manages routes app, the client side.
remain so.
'use strict';
angular.module('iseApp', [
'ngCookies',
'ngResource',
'ngSanitize',
'ngRoute',
**'ngGrid',**
'campaignServices',
'dialinglistServices',
'itemServices'
])
.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider, $httpProvider) {
$routeProvider
As you are adding your ng-grid in a directive, you have to make sure the grid options are loaded before it tries to parse your html.
You could set a boolean in your link function :
scope.isDirectiveLoaded=true;
And then, in your template, use a ng-if :
<div ng-if="isDirectiveLoaded">
<div ng-grid="myGrid"/>
</div>
I got to the same issue, empty grid was rendered.
The way I got to it in the end was to setup my this.gridOptions in the constructor of the controller, within the component. In the options everything is referenced with $ctrl like this. So the data references $ctrl.gridData. gridData is specified as a property in my component controller. $ctrl is not defined as a property.
This was done in the constructor before the data was loaded. this.gridData was defined after in the constructor and then populated later in another function. The options were defined first, I think this is important from some things I read.
For the event hooks pass null instead of $scope.
this.gridOptions = {
enableGridMenu: true,
minRowsToShow: 25,
rowHeight: 36,
enableRowHashing: true,
data: '$ctrl.gridData',
rowTemplate: this.$rootScope.blockedRowTemplate,
onRegisterApi: ($ctrl) => {
this.gridApi = $ctrl;
this.gridApi.colMovable.on.columnPositionChanged(null, (colDef, originalPosition, newPosition) => {
this.saveState();
});
this.gridApi.colResizable.on.columnSizeChanged(null, (colDef, deltaChange) => {
this.saveState();
});
this.gridApi.core.on.columnVisibilityChanged(null, (column) => {
this.saveState();
});
this.gridApi.core.on.sortChanged(null, (grid, sortColumns) => {
this.saveState();
});
this.gridApi.core.on.filterChanged(null, (grid, sortColumns) => {
this.saveState();
});
}
};
In the row template I was referencing functions defined in my component. Before conversion to a component I referenced functions like this:
ng-click="grid.appScope.jumpToExport(row.entity);"
After conversion to the component I needed to add the $ctrl before the function name like this
ng-click="grid.appScope.$ctrl.jumpToExport(row.entity);"
And this is how the component is referenced in the html
<div ui-grid="$ctrl.gridOptions" ng-if="$ctrl.gridData.length != undefined && $ctrl.gridData.length > 0" class="data-grid" ui-grid-save-state ui-grid-resize-columns ui-grid-move-columns></div>
jQuery UI starting from version 1.8.4 html-encodes Autocomplete suggestions (according to this issue).
This became a problem for me now. I used to theme the output for the suggestions, but now (if I use version 1.8.4 or higher) Autocomplete just html-encodes my theming. All tags like <b>, <span> are being printed to the user instead of displaying the actual styling.
So the suggestions now look like:
<b>su<b>suggestion
another <b>su<b>suggestion
instead of:
suggestion
another suggesion
I've read about custom data, but I use Yii framework and the output is being generated from certain actions (PHP code).
So, how do I theme the output now?
Thank you!
Better use a HTML plugin
You can use open function from jQuery UI to replace the encoded text.
Here's an example:
$this->widget('zii.widgets.jui.CJuiAutoComplete', array(
'name'=>"bug",
'source'=>$this->createUrl('/autocomplete'),
// additional javascript options for the autocomplete plugin
'options'=>array(
'open'=> 'js:function(event, ui){
$("ul.ui-autocomplete li a").each(function(){
var htmlString = $(this).html().replace(/</g, "<");
htmlString = htmlString.replace(/>/g, ">");
$(this).html(htmlString);
});
}'
),
));
