I'm making a slideshow with full screen functionality (FancyBox 3), it's using the RequestFullScreen method on the container div, which means any other element in the body is not accessible in full screen mode. (correct me if i'm wrong)
I would like to include an AddThis Expanding Share button in the slideshow, but because it's created dynamically by the AddThis js, it appends the Smart Layers before the end of the body, not at the end of the slideshow container div therefore it's not included in the full screen slideshow.
I couldn't find any info on Smart Layers DOM placement in the AddThis API.
What I've tried is seems like a bad idea, to manually appendTo the necessary divs to the slideshow container after the divs are created by AddThis, I managed to "cut and paste" the '.at-expanding-share-button' and it's working so far, but I can't "catch" the '#at-expanded-menu-host' (which is the layer created by AddThis for more sharing options, with the dark background), and I'm not even sure if this method will work properly...
Any help would be appreciated.
I figured it out! :) I thought I share my experience/solution, if anyone has similar difficulties.
What won't work and why:
First I've tried to communicate with the AddThis API to tell it to put its layers to a premade container, which looks like impossible and the AddThis team also told me that there is no solution for manual layer DOM placement, it's always appending those to the end of the body (at least for now, maybe they will implement this option into their API).
Then I've tried to manually append those layers to the Fancy-Box container, which was a dead end because when the slideshow closes, it removes its container from the markup, so the AddThis layers disappeared and I couldn't reinit it (maybe others have some solution for that, but I just couldn't figure it out).
By the way, the "More Sharing Options" layer is created when the share + button is clicked.
My solution:
Instead of appending the layers to the dynamic slideshow container, I've created a static div at the end of the body, appended the layers to it when they are created, and set the Fancy-Box parent div to my container (note that Fancy-Box full screen functionality makes its own div into full screen, so I had to use my own full screen function for the container with the layers and the slideshow).
I've used sindresorhus's screenfull for easier/cross-browser full screen functions.
var FullScreenContainer = $('#container');
// Check if AddThis Layers are ready
var checkLayers = setInterval(function() { appendLayers(); }, 1000);
// Append the layers to FullScreenContainer
function appendLayers() {
var layers = $('.at-expanding-share-button, #_atssh');
if(layers.length > 0){
addthis.layers.refresh();
layers.appendTo(FullScreenContainer);
clearInterval(checkLayers);
console.log('layers added');
}
else {
console.log('not found')
}
}
// Check for more layers when the share icon clicked
$(document).on('click', ".at-expanding-share-button-toggle", function() {
var checkMoreLayers = setInterval(function() { catchLayers(); }, 1000);
function catchLayers() {
var morelayers = $('#at-expanded-menu-host');
if(morelayers.length > 0){
morelayers.appendTo(FullScreenContainer);
clearInterval(checkMoreLayers);
console.log('more layers added');
}
else {
console.log('did not found more')
}
}
});
// Don't forget to disable the full screen function in Fancy-Box,
// then call them when necessary (onInit, clickSlide, clickOutside
// and the close button)
function enterFullscreen() {
screenfull.request($('#container')[0]);
}
function exitFullscreen() {
if (screenfull.isFullscreen) {
screenfull.exit();
$.fancybox.getInstance().close();
}
if (!screenfull.isFullscreen) {
$.fancybox.getInstance().close();
}
}
And you are good to go. I hope this helps for anybody else! :)

I am trying to use 2 jQuery navigation scripts on one page (Superfish for desktops and FlexNav for mobile). I am currently using matchMedia along with the polyfill by Paul Irish to respond to CSS3 media query state changes within JavaScript.
The current code is only accomplishing 50% of the overall goal. If you access the web page initially with a window size equal to or greater than 999px wide then you get Superfish and if you initially access the web page with a window size less than 999px then you get FlexNav. The problem occurs when you resize the window above or below 999px as both scripts become active.
// media query event handler
if (matchMedia) {
var mq = window.matchMedia("(min-width: 999px)");
mq.addListener(WidthChange);
WidthChange(mq);
}
// media query change
function WidthChange(mq) {
if (mq.matches) {
$("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
delay: 350,
speed: 400,
});
} else {
$("ul.flexnav").flexNav({
'animationSpeed': '250',
'transitionOpacity': true,
'buttonSelector': '.menu-button',
'hoverIntent': false
});
}
}
As much as I would like to get this working with matchMedia, I am open to all suggestions.
Update: Thanks to Stephan's suggestion I now have the following code:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
// add destroy function for FlexNav
flexNavDestroy = function () {
$('.touch-button').off('touchstart click').remove();
$('.item-with-ul *').off('focus');
}
// media query event handler
if (matchMedia) {
var mq = window.matchMedia("(min-width: 999px)");
mq.addListener(WidthChange);
WidthChange(mq);
}
// media query change
function WidthChange(mq) {
if (mq.matches) {
if (typeof (flexNav) != "undefined") {
flexNavDestroy();
}
superfish = $("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
delay: 350,
speed: 400,
});
} else {
if (typeof (superfish) != "undefined") {
superfish.superfish('destroy');
}
flexNav = $("ul.flexnav").flexNav({
'animationSpeed': '250',
'transitionOpacity': true,
'buttonSelector': '.menu-button',
'hoverIntent': false
});
}
}
});
Remaining Issue:
The destroy function for FlexNav is only partially destroying it.
The best way would probably be to destroy the other plugin when you're activating one.
If I look in the source of Superfish there is a destroy function which does this, but flexNav doesn't have such a function. You can create one though:
flexNavDestroy = function(){
$('.touch-button').off('touchstart click').remove();
$(('.item-with-ul *').off('focus');
}
Then you could do this:
function WidthChange(mq) {
if (mq.matches) {
if(typeof(flexNav) != "undefined") {
flexNavDestroy();
}
superfish = $("ul.sf-menu").superfish({
delay: 350,
speed: 400,
});
} else {
if(typeof(superfish) != "undefined") {
superfish.superfish('destroy');
}
flexNav = $("ul.flexnav").flexNav({
'animationSpeed': '250',
'transitionOpacity': true,
'buttonSelector': '.menu-button',
'hoverIntent': false
});
}
}
UPDATE
I've looked a little bit more into FlexNav, and there's a few things I missed.
I think the styles are colliding because FlexNav sets a lot of styles by default. We can easily prevent that by using two classes: One for flexnav styling (the default .flexnav) that we can remove to hide all it's styles, and one for binding the javascript function (that will always stay there, or we can't re-attach it).
I generally like to prepend any classes that are meant as JS hooks with js-, so in my example (below) I replaces the .flexnav class on the menu with .js-flexnav. Then to activate flexnav you have to add this line just before you call $('ul.flexnav').flexNav()
$('.js-flexnav').addClass('flexnav');
In the destroy function you will have to remove the class again, which I will show shortly.
In addition, I'm not sure how Superfish does the showing and hiding, but since FlexNav collapses all submenus, it's also safe to say you should re-show them so that Superfish can do it's own thing.
The updated destroy function to reflect this:
function flexNavDestroy(){
$('.touch-button').off('touchstart click').remove();
$('.item-with-ul *').off('focus');
$('.js-flexnav').removeClass('flexnav').find('ul').show(); // removes .flexnav for styling, then shows all children ul's
}
Here's a jsFiddle that shows activating/deactivating flexNav with the new code: http://jsfiddle.net/9HndJ/
Let me know if this does the trick for you!
here is an alternative path :
once page is loaded :
cache the menu in a jquery object, clone it & instantiate both plugin one on each clone
$menucontainer= $("#menu_container");
$memufish = $menucontainer.find(".menu");
$menuflex=$menufish.clone();
$menufish.superfish().detach();
$menuflex.prependTo($menucontainer).flexnav().detach();
(they are loaded anyway so it's no big deal even if most of the time one won't be needed, it will be there & ready just in case - however test if you can instantiate on the clone without appending it to the DOM)
depending on width append / prepend the required one
$menuflex.prependTo($menucontainer);
on change width detach one reattach the other
$menufish.detach();
$menuflex.prependTo($menucontainer);
you could also work your way checking if plugin was instantiated on a width change (in order to not instantiate uselessly onload) but in any way I believe the use of clone() and detach() are very much adapted to solve easily your problem. The destroy way seems to be a hassle, lots of work (for the script as well when some user is raving with window resize) loss of time & a risk of many bugs to me ( expect more and more lag at every destroy re instantiate - with detach() no worries)
cons : will use a bit more memory overhaul
pros :
script will work less & it will be real fast to switch from one to the other
you could make a plugin from this and add other menu plugin to your app very easily without worry about conflict and how to destroy
Apologies for the general question but I have been looking to implement an image showcase similar to the new Flickr layout like in this example
The difficulty I am having is in the responsive design. I have looked at various plugins including: Isotope, Wookmark, Grid-a-licious but all of these solutions either leave uneven margins/gutters when the browser window is resized or don't align at the bottom in the style of pinterest where things are just stacked vertically on rows.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a plugin that would resize images to completely fill the width of rows and align all images correctly at the bottom like on Flickr.
Alternatively it would be great to know where to get started on the javascript for something like this?
I know it's too late but this library does what you need:
http://masonjs.com/
in my travels i have worked on a few responsive sites via css3 media queries. here is a modified solution i found and used in cases where i need to trigger javascript on the event of changes in the media queries:
// define a query here
var theQuery = "(min-width: 960px)";
var mql = window.matchMedia( theQuery );
var TO = setTimeout( function(){}, 100);
var handleMediaChange = function (mediaQueryList) {
if (mediaQueryList.matches) {
// the media query evaluates to true
clearTimeout(TO);
window.state = 0;
TO = setTimeout( function(){
// javascript actions go here
}, 100 );
} else {
// #media query evaluates to false
clearTimeout(TO);
window.state = 0;
TO = setTimeout( function(){
// javascript actions go here
}, 100 );
}
}
mql.addListener(handleMediaChange);
handleMediaChange(mql);
in essence it allows us to define a query and then add a listener to watch the window object for changes that would trigger our query. when it triggers i have defined two sets of javascript one each for media query evaluating to true or false, but you could remove this if condition and just have any change execute some script...
give this a try and hope it helps
jQuery / Javascript / PHP
I am using the Liquid Slider as a pagination mechanism on a website, how I use it is I basically have it smoothly scroll through the pages left-right & vice versa.
What I'm trying to accomplish right now is: to have the dynamic arrows link to an external page at the end of the scroll (once it detects it is at its last page/tab), rather than to have it scroll back to where it first began.
Since such option variety is not originally supported from the author website, I am wondering if anyone from here would have an idea how to accomplish this?
A snippet of my dynamic arrows with their callback functions (functions not included):
$('#slider-id').liquidSlider({
continuous:false,
dynamicArrows:true,
dynamicTabs: false,
callbackFunction: function(){ drawLines() }
});
$('.liquid-nav-right-arrow').click(function(){
simRefresh(), simRefresh2();
});
$('.liquid-nav-left-arrow').click(function(){
simRefresh(), simRefresh2();
});
You can set conditionals based on the current panel (tab).
callbackFunction: function () {
var sliderObject = $.data( $('#slider-id)[0], 'liquidSlider');
if ( (sliderObject).currentTab === 4 ) {
//turn off click event
//update link
}
Then if you want to reset the events again, you can try sliderObject.registerArrows(), although I haven't tested this out.
I have playing around with a steriotab system with the prototype.js library, everything works fine except the next DIV under the container of steriotabs is showing like a flash when turning to next tab.. I know its little bit difficult to understand.. here you can see it on their website http://stereointeractive.com/blog/code/prototype-tabs/
You can see that by changing the four tabs(features, setup, configuration, download) continuously three four times. The comment section will show up like a flash just below the navigation tabs(Features, Setup, Configuration, Download).
I think the issue was when it goes to next tab the current one is display:none and ofcourse there is nothing in the meantime(1 or 2 seconds) so the next block of html code is coming to the top just below the navigation..
this javascript may causing the issue..
activate: function(tab) {
var tabName = tab.id.replace(this.options.ids.tab,'');
this.currentPanel = this.options.ids.panel+tabName;
if (this.showPanel == this.currentPanel) {
return false;
}
if (this.showPanel) {
if (this.options.effects) {
new Effect.Fade(this.showPanel, {queue: 'front'});
} else {
$(this.currentPanel).hide();
}
}
if (this.options.effects) {
new Effect.Appear(this.currentPanel, {queue: 'end'});
} else {
$(this.showPanel).show();
}
this.tabs.invoke('removeClassName', this.options.classNames.tabActive);
tab.addClassName(this.options.classNames.tabActive);
this.showPanel = this.currentPanel;
}
you guys have any thought?
You're suspicion is correct, the reason you get the flash is the few milliseconds there is no container there holding back the content below the object. One option you could consider is while fading the container also sliding it up (look into parallel effects in scripty) that way it would not be nearly as jarring with the content disappears.
I'm building an app with some tabs for the iPhone.
rephrased the question in the appcelerator website here
When i change from portrait to landscape i want to hide the navbar.
it works fine if i don't switch to another tab.
But when i view 1 tab in portrait,
switch to another tab, change to landscape view,
switch back to the first tab,
and then change to back portrait
the navbar (window.barImage) is all stretched out ( to the size of a landscape navBar )
Also when i remove all my code for hiding the navbar the same problem occurs.
I've tried setting the barImage again on orientationchange but that does not help either.
a site note: I'm using the same image on every tab for the navBar could that be the problem?
I marked in green the navbar image, the blue part is where the image normally should be.
Also note that the image is the right size for a portrait view of the navbar.
code:
var windowWidth = Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformWidth;
var catWin = Ti.UI.createWindow({
title:'',
barImage: 'images/barImage.png',
url:'vacancies/categories.js',
width: windowWidth
});
catWin.orientationModes = [
Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT,
Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT,
Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT
];
Titanium.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e) {
if(e.orientation == Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT){
catWin.hideNavBar();
} else if(e.orientation == Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT){
catWin.hideNavBar();
} else if(e.orientation == Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT){
catWin.showNavBar();
}
});
You really need to post more code, for example I have no idea if you are using Ti.UI.currentWindow.hideNavBar(); or if you are using just the .hide(); and .show();?
From what I can tell you're problem however possibly lies with the the width. Trying setting it to '100%' instead of using the platformWidth. Once again without all the relevant code such as your orientationchange event this is best advice I can give. Hope it helps.
THIRD COMMENT: possibly
Titanium.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e) {
if(e.source.isLandscape()){
catWin.hideNavBar();
} else {
catWin.barImage = 'images/barImage.png';
catWin.showNavBar();
}
});
Just somewhere in there or the tab events. I would play around with that idea and see if it gets you any further?
While this is not the best solution because it still looks a bit odd ( but way better then before, ) this is the best solution until now.
I have found some kind of solution by using the following code:
I've set the barImage in the createWindow code so at least at the beginning it looks OK:
var jbWin = Ti.UI.createWindow({
title: '',
url:'homePage.js',
barImage: 'images/jobbroker_bar.png'
});
Then on orientationchange I unset the barImage and start using the titleImage:
Titanium.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(e){
if(e.source.isLandscape()){
catWin.titleImage = '';
catWin.barImage = '';
catWin.hideNavBar();
else if( e.orientation != Ti.UI.FACE_UP && e.orientation != Ti.UI.FACE_DOWN ) {
catWin.titleImage = 'images/jobbroker_bar.png';
catWin.showNavBar();
}
}
have you tried using the "titleControl" on the Navbar to set the image instead of the barImage control?
also can you post a small apps.js file with the associated image somewhere? it is difficult to full grasp the problem without running the project
