How do I add a custom text button to the control bar of the VideoJS Player v.7?

I have tried various snippets of code that I've found online, but I can't get any of them to work with the current version of VideoJS, which is version 7. I'm very new to javascript programming, and the documentation does not give example code on how to implement this. There is a codepen here that can be used to experiment with customizing the player: https://codepen.io/heff/pen/EarCt This is the link to the VideoJS player documentation on adding a button to the player: https://docs.videojs.com/button
I've tried inserting code from various web page and 5-6 different discussions I found on StackExchange, but none of them make a button appear next to the video progress bar.
I'm simply trying to create a button with the text "Exit Course" that will appear to the right of the video progress bar, and that will execute a javascript function when pressed.
Could someone familiar with VideoJS please take a look at the codepen link above to see if they can add such a button to the player? Thank you!
I'm required to add some code to this question, so here is one piece of code that I tried on codepen:
var setup = {
'techOrder' : ['html5', 'flash'],
'controls' : true,
'preload' : 'auto',
'children':{
'controlBar': {
'children': {
'playbackSpeedPopoverMenu': {},
'selectBitrateControlButton': {src:videosrc},
'verticalVolumeMenuButton': {},
'volumeControl': false,
'muteToggle':false,
'liveDisplay':false,
}
}
};
var player = new vjs.Player(vjs.el("id_of_my_video_element_note_that_theres_no_poundsign"),
setup,
function() {
//this is your ready function
}));

I've tested this snippet with video.js 7.4.1 and it works fine. I used video.js's cancel icon instead of text to save space on the control bar. Give it a try:
<script>
var player = videojs('my-player');
var button = videojs.getComponent('Button');
var closeButton = videojs.extend(button, {
constructor: function() {
button.apply(this, arguments);
this.controlText("Exit Course");
this.addClass('vjs-icon-cancel');
},
handleClick: function() {
this.player().dispose();
}
});
videojs.registerComponent('closeButton', closeButton);
player.getChild('controlBar').addChild('closeButton', {});
</script>

var player = videojs('video');
var skipBehindButton = player.controlBar.addChild("button");
var skipBehindButtonDom = skipBehindButton.el();
skipBehindButtonDom.innerHTML = "30<<";
skipBehindButton.addClass("buttonClass");
skipBehindButtonDom.onclick = function(){
skipS3MV(-30);
}
var skipAheadButton = player.controlBar.addChild("button");
var skipAheadButtonDom = skipAheadButton.el();
skipAheadButtonDom.innerHTML = ">>30";
skipAheadButton.addClass("buttonClass");
skipAheadButtonDom.onclick = function(){
skipS3MV(30);
}
function skipS3MV(skipBy) {
player.currentTime(player.currentTime() + skipBy);
}
The reason I've used text ("30<<" and ">>30") is because in my player, the colors are all customizable. So if I used an icon image for skip-back and skip-forward, then I wouldn't be able to change the color of the icon every time someone customizes the player colors (which includes the all the text in the control bar).

Materialize dropdown options

I want to use the options from here:
http://materializecss.com/dropdown.html#options (The docs don't say so much).
My app is a rails app that use the materialize gem with the asset
pipeline.
My code now looks like this:
ul#dropdown1.dropdown-content.z-depth-0
li
a Profile settings
li
a payments
a.dropdown-button.btn-large.btn-flat.waves-effect.menu_trigger href="#!" data-activates="dropdown1"
i.material-icons menu
javascript:
var elem = document.querySelector('.menu_trigger');
var instance = M.Dropdown.init(elem, {
coverTrigger: false,
constrainWidth: false,
});

In practice, using the data attribute isn't always the best way. Options can (or rather should be, correct me if I'm wrong) passed the following way:
// native javascript way
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var dropdown1 = document.querySelector('.simple-dropdown');
var dropdownOptions = {
'closeOnClick': true,
'hover':true
}
var instanceDropdown1 = M.Dropdown.init(dropdown1, dropdownOptions);
});
// Initializing the jQuery way
$(".simple-dropdown").dropdown(
{
'closeOnClick': true,
'hover': true,
});

Solved!
Finally like it says here http://archives.materializecss.com/0.100.2/dropdown.html#options
Solved where it says:
To use these inline you have to add them as data attributes. If you
want more dynamic control, you can define them using the jQuery plugin
below.
So then, with something like this:
a.dropdown-button.btn-large.btn-flat.waves-effect href="#!" data-activates="dropdown1" data-beloworigin="true"
i.material-icons menu
Done what i wanted

Couldn't find directly in Materialize docs, but by trial and error I found this javscript code is working fine. It looks like an expected options variable should be an Object with property "dropdownOptions" with assigned another Object with properties listed in docs.
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
var options = {
dropdownOptions: {
alignment: 'right',
hover: true
}
}
var elems = document.querySelectorAll('.dropdown-trigger');
var instances = M.Dropdown.init(elems, options);
});

TinyMCE Enable button while in read only mode

I have a TinyMCE 4.x instance where the text should be in read only mode. But I still have some buttons that I want to have enabled. For example, one button could provide a character count for the part of the text I've selected.
But when I turn on read only mode for TinyMCE all buttons are disabled. Can I enable just my buttons while still retaining read only mode?

It's probably too late for you but other people may pass by here.
I came up by writing this function
function enableTinyMceEditorPlugin(editorId, pluginName, commandName) {
var htmlEditorDiv = document.getElementById(editorId).previousSibling;
var editor = tinymce.get(editorId);
var buttonDiv = htmlEditorDiv.querySelectorAll('.mce-i-' + pluginName.toLowerCase())[0].parentElement.parentElement;
buttonDiv.className = buttonDiv.className.replace(' mce-disabled', '');
buttonDiv.removeAttribute('aria-disabled');
buttonDiv.firstChild.onclick = function () {
editor.execCommand(commandName);
};
}
It does the trick in 2 steps:
make the button clickable (remove mce-disabled CSS class and remove the aria-disabled property)
assign the good command to the click event
And in my editor init event I call the function.
editor.on('init', function () {
if (readOnly) {
editor.setMode('readonly');
enableTinyMceEditorPlugin(htmlEditorId, 'preview', 'mcePreview');
enableTinyMceEditorPlugin(htmlEditorId, 'code', 'mceCodeEditor');
}
});
Current version of TinyMCE for which I wrote this code is 4.4.3. It may break in a future version, specifically about the selectors to get and modify the good HTML elements.
Command identifiers can be found at this page otherwise you can also find them under tinymce\plugins\PluginName\plugin(.min).js

Here is a simple way to enable your custom toolbar button and attach a click event handler inside a read only TinyMCE editor using JQUERY:
//Initialize read only Tinymce editor so that Lock button is also disabled
function initReadOnlyTinyMCE() {
tinymce.init({
selector: '#main'
, toolbar: 'myLockButton'
, body_class: 'main-div'
, content_css: 'stylesheets/index.css'
, readonly: true
, setup: function (readOnlyMain) {
readOnlyMain.addButton('myLockButton', { //Lock button is disabled because readonly is set to true
image: 'images/lock.png'
, tooltip: 'Lock Editor'
});
}
});
}
function displayReadOnlyTinyMCEwithLockButtonEnabled() {
var edContent = $('main').html();
$("#main").empty();
initReadOnlyTinyMCE(true);
tinyMCE.activeEditor.setContent(edContent);
//enable the lock button and attach a click event handler
$('[aria-label="Lock Editor"]').removeClass("mce-disabled");
$('[aria-label="Lock Editor"]').removeAttr("aria-disabled");
$('[aria-label="Lock Editor"]').attr("onclick", "LockEditor()");
}
function LockEditor() {
alert("Tiny mce editor is locked by the current user!!");
//Write your logic to lock the editor...
}

I couldn't find an easy way to do this. The simplest way is to remove the contenteditable attribute from the iframe body instead and substitute a read only toolbar set. It also means that people will still be able to copy content from the editor.
$("iframe").contents().find("body").removeAttr("contenteditable");

How about this :
editor.addButton('yourButton', {
title: 'One can Enable/disable TinyMCE',
text: "Disable",
onclick: function (ee) {
editor.setMode('readonly');
if($(ee.target).text() == "Disable"){
var theEle = $(ee.target).toggle();
var edit = editor;
var newBut = "<input type='button' style='opacity:1;color:white; background-color:orange;' value='Enable'/>";
$(newBut).prependTo($(theEle).closest("div")).click(function(e){
edit.setMode('design');
$(e.target).remove();
$(theEle).toggle();
});
}
}
});

You can try to run the code below:
$("#tinymce").contentEditable="false";
if you have more than one editors, you can use their id like below
$("#tinymce[data-id='idOfTheEditor']").contentEditable="false";

Close accordion alike div using jQuery?

I have this simple code which shows 3 items
When I press the header ($(".fileHeader")) , it should open then next element which is the next element (hidden div) ($(".LST_Documents"))
sketch :
JSBIN : it does work.
Most important :
When I press on a $(".fileHeader")- i need to close all other $(".LST_Documents") and then ( that why i used promise) open the relevant $(".LST_Documents").
The problem is (look at the pic) if i press again on the first $(".fileHeader").
what is happening is that it closing and then re opening. and I want it to stay CLOSED.
P.S.
I could solve it with class ( .rowOpen or something like that) but I want to do it via JS/JQ only.
How can I enhance my code to work as expected ?

Just hold the header's content visibility state before sliding it up. And slide down the content only when it was not visible.
Here is the fiddle.
$(".fileHeader").on('click', function () {
var content$ = $(this).next(),
isContentVisible = content$.is(':visible');
$(".LST_Documents:visible").slideUp().promise().done(function () {
if ( ! isContentVisible ) {
content$.slideDown();
}
});
});

How 'bout a simple condition:
$(".fileheader").on('click', function() {
var next = $(this).next();
if(next.is(':visible'))
{
next.slideUp();
}
else
{
$(".LST_Documents:visible").slideUp().promise().done(function() {
next.slideDown();
});
}
});

General
I'm running a wordpress site with multilingual control. And my menu/navigation is dynamic, controlled via the wordpress admin. The multilingual language plugin also changes the dynamic menu/navigation content, as well as page content.
My Contact button, which is in the dynamic navigation, opens a sliding menu using jQuery. Very simple animation using top css. The contact button is on the page twice, hence why I'm not using the .toggle for iterations. See jsFiddle.
Script
var $button = $(".contact-button"),
// var for button which controls sliding div
$slide = $("#content-slide");
// var for the div which slides up and down
$button.on('click', function () {
// function for when button is clicked
if ($button.html() == 'Close') {
// run this if button says 'Close'
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "-269px" }, 300);
// close slide animation
$button.html('Contact');
// change text back to 'Contact'
} else {
// else if button says Contact or anything else
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "0" }, 300);
// open slide animation
$button.html('Close');
// change text to 'Close'
}
});
Problem
Because I'm running multilingual on the site. The navigation spelling changes. See jsFiddle flag buttons for example. This is fine, the animation still runs OK, because it's using the button class 'contact-button'.
But because I'm using the .html to replace the text of the button to "Close" and then on the second iteration, back to "Contact" - obviously this is a problem for other languages, as it always changes to English 'close' and back to English 'Contact'
But my three languages and words that I need the iterations to run through are...
Contact - Close
Contatto - Cerca
Contacto - Chiudere
Can anyone help me expand my script to accommodate three languages, all my attempts have failed. The jsFiddle has the script.
The language functionality in the fiddle is only for demo purposes, so the iteration sequence can be tested from the beginning. I understand if you change the language whilst the menu is open (in the fiddle), it will confused it. But when the language is changed on my site, the whole page refreshes, which closes the slide and resets the sequence. So it does not matter.
Any pro help would be awesome thanks!!!
MY POOR ATTEMPT, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE
var $button = $(".contact-button"),
// Var for button which controls sliding div
$slide = $("#content-slide");
// Var for the div which slides up and down
$button.on('click', function () {
// function for when button is clicked
if ($button.html() == 'Close' || 'Cerca'|| 'Chiudere' ) {
// run this if button says Close or Cerca or Chiudere
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "-269px" }, 300);
// Close slide animation
$(function () {
if ($button.html(== 'Close') {
$button.html('Contact'); }
else if ($button.html(== 'Cerca') {
$button.html('Contatto'); }
else ($button.html(== 'Chiudere') {
$button.html('Contacto'); }
});
// Change text back to Contact in correct language
} else {
// else if button says Contact or anything else
$slide.stop().animate({ top: "0" }, 300);
// Open slide animation
$(function () {
if ($button.html(== 'Contact') {
$button.html('Close'); }
else if ($button.html(== 'Contatto') {
$button.html('Cerca'); }
else ($button.html(== 'Contacto') {
$button.html('Chiudere'); }
});
// Change text back to Close in the correct language
}
});
See my attempt script above which is not working on this jsFiddle.

Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Qh8fL/2/
When one of the language buttons gets clicked, it stores the strings for Contact and Close using jQuery's .data() method. Then, when the contact/close button gets clicked, it refers to those strings rather than having it hard-coded.
Here are the relevant lines of code:
$("#english").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contact').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contact',close:'Close'});
});
$("#spanish").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contatto').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contatto',close:'Close'});
});
$("#italian").click(function() {
$(".contact-button").html('Contacto').data('langTxt',{contact:'Contacto',close:'Close'});
});
if ($button.html() == 'Close') {
//...
$button.html($button.data('langTxt').contact);
} else {
//...
$button.html($button.data('langTxt').close);
}
All you need to do to modify the "close" text appropriately is by editing the close property inside the calls to data() that occur in each of the click events.

You should never depend on label strings ... especially in a multilingual environment. Instead you should use placeholders that you store in an attribute (maybe using .data()). Then you write your own setters for the labels depending on the value of the attribute.
var myLabels = {'close': ['Close', 'Cerca', 'Chiudere'], 'contact' : ['Contact', 'Contatto', 'Contacto']};
var currLang = 2; // to select italian
....
// to set the label
$button.data('mylabel', 'close');
$button.html(myLabels['close'][currLang]);
....
if($button.data('mylabel') == 'close') {
$button.data('mylabel', 'contact');
$button.html(myLabels['contact'][currLang]);
} else {
$button.data('mylabel', 'close');
$button.html(myLabels['close'][currLang]);
}
