horizontal timeline fixed distance and centered on mobile devices - javascript

I am trying to reach a horizontal timeline like this:
https://codepen.io/ritz078/pen/LGRWjE
My problem is, that I've got no real dates (DD/MM/YYYY) but only years like 1998-2002 or just 2009. So there is a problem, I am struggling to fix, which ends up like this:
So my aims are:
Set a fixed distance between elements
Make it work just with years
When on a device less than 768px wide ensure a single element is displayed and it appears in the center
This is my solution for 3., but the other things, I couldnt solute:
if ($(window).width() < 768 {
eventsMinDistance = $('.cd-horizontal-timeline .events-wrapper').width(/2;)
}
(timelines.length > 0) && initTimeline(timelines);
$(window).resize(function(){
if ($(window).width() < 768 {
eventsMinDistance = $('.cd-horizontal-timeline .events-wrapper').width(/2;)
} else{
eventsMinDistance = 155;
}
}
Do you guys know how do adjust it, as I am struggling since hours without any success. Thank you very much for your help!

the first part of your code works fine, but it was faulty on the syntax, I fixed it and use it and also add a couple of changes to acomplished the desired fixed width amount between each date.
Actually it was pretty easy, when you debug and you know exactly what the developer wants to do.
This is the code I wrote:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
var timelines = $('.cd-horizontal-timeline'),
eventsRelativeDistance = false;
if ($(window).width() < 768) {
eventsMinDistance = Number($('.cd-horizontal-timeline .events-wrapper').width())/2;
}else{
var eventsMinDistance = 100;
}
(timelines.length > 0) && initTimeline(timelines);
$(window).resize( function(){
if ($(window).width() < 768) {
eventsMinDistance = Number($('.cd-horizontal-timeline .events-wrapper').width())/2;
} else{
eventsMinDistance = 100;
}
});
function initTimeline(timelines) {
timelines.each(function(){
var timeline = $(this),
timelineComponents = {};
//cache timeline components
timelineComponents['timelineWrapper'] = timeline.find('.events-wrapper');
timelineComponents['eventsWrapper'] = timelineComponents['timelineWrapper'].children('.events');
timelineComponents['fillingLine'] = timelineComponents['eventsWrapper'].children('.filling-line');
timelineComponents['timelineEvents'] = timelineComponents['eventsWrapper'].find('a');
timelineComponents['timelineDates'] = parseDate(timelineComponents['timelineEvents']);
timelineComponents['eventsMinLapse'] = minLapse(timelineComponents['timelineDates']);
timelineComponents['timelineNavigation'] = timeline.find('.cd-timeline-navigation');
timelineComponents['eventsContent'] = timeline.children('.events-content');
if(!eventsRelativeDistance){
// Set up space to store the distance in pixels.
timelineComponents['distanceInPx'] = [];
}
//assign a left postion to the single events along the timeline
setDatePosition(timelineComponents, eventsMinDistance, eventsRelativeDistance);
//assign a width to the timeline
var timelineTotWidth = setTimelineWidth(timelineComponents, eventsMinDistance, eventsRelativeDistance);
//the timeline has been initialize - show it
timeline.addClass('loaded');
//detect click on the next arrow
timelineComponents['timelineNavigation'].on('click', '.next', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
updateSlide(timelineComponents, timelineTotWidth, 'next');
});
//detect click on the prev arrow
timelineComponents['timelineNavigation'].on('click', '.prev', function(event){
event.preventDefault();

Did you ever get this to work?? Have come across the same problem. If i change the default distance from 60 to 1 the gap between is not enough and the whole timeline breaks. The calculations for the distance as described in the article is as follows
First of all, in the main.js file, we set a minimum distance between two consecutive dates, using the eventsMinDistance variable; in our case, we set eventsMinDistance = 60 (so the minimum distance will be 60px). Then we evaluate all the differences between a date and the following one; to do that we use the data-date attribute added to each date. The minimum difference is then used as a reference to evaluate the distances between two consecutive dates.
For example, let's suppose the minimum found difference is 5 days; that means that the distance, along the timeline, between two dates separated by a lapse of 5days will be 60px, while the one between two events separated by a lapse of 10 days will be 120px.
source:: www.codyhouse.org
From what i read the min distance is here:~
var timelines = $('.cd-horizontal-timeline'),
eventsMinDistance = 60;
(timelines.length > 0) && initTimeline(timelines);
This creates a variable called timelines and sets it to the class .cd-hor... and sets the min distance to 60px. changing this to 1 breaks the application as the distance between the times are too small.
function setDatePosition(timelineComponents, min) {
for (i = 0; i < timelineComponents['timelineDates'].length; i++) {
var distance = daydiff(timelineComponents['timelineDates'][0], timelineComponents['timelineDates'][i]),
distanceNorm = Math.round(distance/timelineComponents['eventsMinLapse']) + 2;
timelineComponents['timelineEvents'].eq(i).css('left', distanceNorm*min+'px');
}
}
I might be wrong but here is the section calculating the distance and the last distanceNorm*min+'px'. min i believe is 60 and distance norm is the calculation of the 5 days etc. if you remove distance norm the app breaks so you cant just add min+'px' this is because you remove the original distance.
All distances are calculated from the first timeline. Thats why the app breaks. Need to find the code that tells which to calc from which is the
var distance = daydiff(timelineComponents['timelineDates'][0], timelineComponents['timelineDates'][i]),
distanceNorm = Math.round(distance/timelineComponents['eventsMinLapse']) + 2;
this sets distance as the first element of the index and then for each timelineDates within the loop [i].
I've been at it for days but have come to the conclusion the tutorial is good as is but it is not a library and should be used as reference to write your own from scratch which is what i am now doing.
If you did ever manage it though please update as so far i managed to manipulate the dates to get equal spacing but if you insert too many it breaks which is no good hence the rewrite!

I have a Javascript plugin running on my page for a Number Counter (TF-Numbers). It works great on a desktop, but doesn't seem to work on a mobile device, all the counters show 0.
You can find it on my website: www.arcticwolfdesign.com and see for yourselfs.
Here is the javascript code:
/*

//Statistics in numbers
jQuery.fn.statsCounter = function(){
//declaring vars
var stat = this.find('.statistics-inner').children();
var startValue = 0;
//iterate through every .stat class and collect values
stat.each(function(){
var count = jQuery(this).data('count');
var number = jQuery(this).find('.number');
var start = 0;
var go = setInterval(function(){ startCounter(); },20); //increment value every 1ms
function startCounter(){
incrementBy = Math.round(count / 10); //Divide inputed number by 100 to gain optimal speed (not too fast, not too slow)
start = start + incrementBy;
jQuery(number).text(start);
//if desired number reched, stop counting

I have a paragraph tag in my html id is move, I am trying to move the p tag to slowing fall down while on page load. but my code is not working.......
var speed = 12;
var direction = 1;
var getParagraph = document.getElementById("move");
getParagraph.onmouseover = moving;
function moving() {
var bo = getParagraph.offsetHeight;
var boTop = getParagraph.offsetTop;
var boBottom = boTop + bo;
// When right side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boBottom > document.body.offsetHeight) {
direction = -1;
}
// When left side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boTop < 0) {
direction = 1;
}
// Recalculate position:
getParagraph.style.Top = (boTop + speed * direction)
}

This is your code with minor changes, and it "works":
JS:
var speed = 12;
var direction = 1;
var getParagraph = document.getElementById("move");
document.getElementById("move").addEventListener("mouseover", moving);
//getParagraph.onmouseover = moving;
function moving() {
console.log("Moving??");
var bo = document.getElementById("move").offsetHeight;
var boTop = document.getElementById("move").offsetTop;
var boBottom = boTop + bo;
// When right side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boBottom > document.body.offsetHeight) {
direction = -1;
}
// When left side of the box goes too far - change direction:
if (boTop < 0) {
direction = 1;
}
// Recalculate position:
document.getElementById("move").style.marginTop = (boTop + speed * direction) + "px";
speed++;
}
CSS:
#move {
display : block ;
position : absolute ;
}
Hope it helps.

I created this site where you have multiple sliders moving vertically using this example on stackoverflow > here < along with this fiddle.
The site when loaded has an overflow: hidden on the body and position fixed on my main content div(div class="content-fs row"). The idea is that when you first arrive on the page, you scroll through each slide and once you hit the last one, the position changes on the main content div(div class="content-fs row") from fixed to static and the overflow: hidden is removed from the body. I'm having trouble writing the conditional statement that says "if its the last slider, change the position." The jquery below is the code i'm using for the site along with the conditional statement that doesn't work.
Any pointers/advice would be greatly appreciated!
jquery:
function scrollLax(){
/*
initialize
*/
var scrollDown = false;
var scrollUp = false;
var scroll = 0;
var $view = $('#portfolio');
var t = 0;
var h = $view.height() - 250;
$view.find('.portfolio-sliders').each(function() {
var $moving = $(this);
// position the next moving correctly
if($moving.hasClass('from-bottom')) {
$moving.css('top', h); // subtract t so that a portion of the other slider is showing
}
// make sure moving is visible
$moving.css('z-index', 10);
});
var $moving = $view.find('.portfolio-sliders:first-child');
$moving.css('z-index', 10);
/*

var mousew = function(e) {
var d = 0;
if(!e) e = event;
if (e.wheelDelta) {
d = -e.wheelDelta/3;
} else if (e.detail) {
d = e.detail/120;
}
parallaxScroll(d);
}
if (window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', mousew, false);
}
window.onmousewheel = document.onmousewheel = mousew;
/*

*/
window.setInterval(function() {
if(scrollDown)
parallaxScroll(4);
else if(scrollUp)
parallaxScroll(-4);
}, 50);
function parallaxScroll(scroll) {
// current moving object
var ml = $moving.position().left;
var mt = $moving.position().top;
var mw = $moving.width();
var mh = $moving.height();
// calc velocity
var fromBottom = false;
var vLeft = 0;
var vTop = 0;
if($moving.hasClass('from-bottom')) {
vTop = -scroll;
fromBottom = true;
}
// calc new position
var newLeft = ml + vLeft;
var newTop = mt + vTop;
// check bounds
var finished = false;
if(fromBottom && (newTop < t || newTop > h)) {
finished = true;
newTop = (scroll > 0 ? t : t + h);
}
// set new position
$moving.css('left', newLeft);
$moving.css('top', newTop);
// if finished change moving object
if(finished) {
// get the next moving
if(scroll > 0) {
$moving = $moving.next('.portfolio-sliders');
if($moving.length == 0)
$moving = $view.find('.portfolio-sliders:last');
//this is where I am trying to add the if conditional statement.
if ('.portfolio-sliders:last')
$('.content-fs.row').css({'position': 'static'});
if('.portfolio-sliders:last' && (mt == 0))
$('html, body').removeClass('overflow');
} else {
$moving = $moving.prev('.portfolio-sliders');
if($moving.length == 0)
$moving = $view.find('.portfolio-sliders:first-child');
//reverse the logic and if last slide change position
if('.portfolio-sliders:first-child')
$('.content-fs.row').css({'position': 'fixed'});
}
}
// for debug
//$('#direction').text(scroll + "/" + t + " " + ml + "/" + mt + " " + finished + " " + $moving.text());
}
}

Your code as it is simply asks whether .portfolio-sliders:last exists. Seems you should be doing:
if ($moving == $('.portfolio-sliders:last') )
or something along those lines, instead checking whether the active slide is the last.

Update
I made a repo on GitHub:
https://github.com/yckart/Veil.js
Big thanks to Sargo Darya and Edward J Payton.
I've to create a header which slides up if you scroll down and vice versa. The problem is, that it jumps (if you are in the diff-range between 0-128).
I can not figure out where the problem sits. Any idea how to get this to work correctly?
Here's what I've done so far: http://jsfiddle.net/yckart/rKW3f/
// something simple to get the current scroll direction
// false === down | true === up
var scrollDir = (function (oldOffset, lastOffset, oldDir) {
return function (offset) {
var dir = offset < oldOffset;
if (dir !== oldDir) lastOffset = offset;
oldOffset = offset;
oldDir = dir;
return {dir: dir, last: lastOffset};
};
}());
var header = document.querySelector('header');
var height = header.clientHeight;
addEventListener('scroll', function () {
var scrollY = document.documentElement.scrollTop || document.body.scrollTop;
var dir = scrollDir(scrollY);
var diff = dir.last-scrollY;
var max = Math.max(-height, Math.min(height, diff));
header.style.top = (dir.dir ? max-height : max) + 'px';
});
Another problem is, that if the scroll-direction was changed the first time, nothing happens. However, this could be fixed with an interval, or else.

I believe this is exactly what you want:
var header = $('header'),
headerHeight = header.height(),
treshold = 0,
lastScroll = 0;
$(document).on('scroll', function (evt) {
var newScroll = $(document).scrollTop(),
diff = newScroll-lastScroll;
// normalize treshold range
treshold = (treshold+diff>headerHeight) ? headerHeight : treshold+diff;
treshold = (treshold < 0) ? 0 : treshold;
header.css('top', (-treshold)+'px');
lastScroll = newScroll;
});
Demo on: http://jsfiddle.net/yDpeb/

Try this out:- http://jsfiddle.net/adiioo7/rKW3f/7/
JS:-
var scrollDir = (function (oldOffset, lastOffset, oldDir) {
return function (offset) {
var dir = offset < oldOffset;
if (dir !== oldDir) {
lastOffset = offset;
} else {
offset = offset - height;
}
oldOffset = offset;
oldDir = dir;
return {
dir: dir,
last: lastOffset
};
};
}());
var header = document.querySelector('header');
var height = header.clientHeight;
$(window).scroll(function () {
var scrollY = $(window).scrollTop();
var dir = scrollDir(scrollY);
var diff = dir.last - scrollY;
var max = Math.max(-height, Math.min(height, diff));
max = (dir.dir ? max - height : max);
max = scrollY<height?0:max;
$('header').data('size', 'small');
$('header').stop().animate({
top: max

Sargo Darya's answer above is exacty what i was looking for but I found a bug with Webkits inertia scrolling so I made a fix:
// Scrolling Header
var header = $('header'),
headerHeight = header.height(),
offset = 0,
lastPos = 0;
$(document).on('scroll', function(e) {
var newPos = $(document).scrollTop(),
pos = newPos-lastPos;
if (offset+pos>headerHeight) {
offset = headerHeight;
} else if (newPos < 0){ // webkit inertia scroll fix
offset = 0;
} else {
offset = offset+pos;
};
if (offset < 0) {
offset = 0;
} else {
offset = offset;
};
header.css('top', (-offset)+'px');
lastPos = newPos;
});
Adding one line fixed it. If - if scroll position is lower than 0, set header offset at 0.

I need to create jQuery mobile like Swipe gestures $("#slider ul li div").swipeleft(); using core jQuery without using any library or plugins not even jQuery mobile.
I know that jQuery mobile widgets are now going to be decoupled, so that we can take swipe alone from it. But I can't wait for that long.
I need some manual jQuery code similar to swipe gestures for swipe left and right functions.
I've seen this, but i couldn't understand how to get swipe gestures from it.
Can anyone help me out on that code?

This is the code for touch swipe using javascript. Finally I found it hard by searching all over the internet. Thanks to padilicious.Below is the HTML code for slider.
<div id="slider" ontouchstart="touchStart(event,'slider');" ontouchend="touchEnd(event);"
ontouchmove="touchMove(event);" ontouchcancel="touchCancel(event);">
<ul id="slideul"><li><img src="1.jpg"></li><li>....</ul>
</div>
Below is the javascript code for the touch swipe. It's bit long. But it works for me. You don't have to change anything. Only place you have to change is processingRoutine() function. I've called 2 slide function i.e previous & next using this code sliders.goToNext() & sliders.goToPrev(). You can modify as you want..
var triggerElementID = null; // this variable is used to identity the triggering element
var fingerCount = 0;
var startX = 0;
var startY = 0;
var curX = 0;
var curY = 0;
var deltaX = 0;
var deltaY = 0;
var horzDiff = 0;
var vertDiff = 0;
var minLength = 72; // the shortest distance the user may swipe
var swipeLength = 0;
var swipeAngle = null;
var swipeDirection = null;
// The 4 Touch Event Handlers
// NOTE: the touchStart handler should also receive the ID of the triggering element
// make sure its ID is passed in the event call placed in the element declaration, like:
// <div id="picture-frame" ontouchstart="touchStart(event,'picture-frame');" ontouchend="touchEnd(event);" ontouchmove="touchMove(event);" ontouchcancel="touchCancel(event);">
function touchStart(event,passedName) {
// disable the standard ability to select the touched object
event.preventDefault();
// get the total number of fingers touching the screen
fingerCount = event.touches.length;
// since we're looking for a swipe (single finger) and not a gesture (multiple fingers),
// check that only one finger was used
if ( fingerCount == 1 ) {
// get the coordinates of the touch
startX = event.touches[0].pageX;
startY = event.touches[0].pageY;
// store the triggering element ID
triggerElementID = passedName;
} else {
// more than one finger touched so cancel
touchCancel(event);
}
}
function touchMove(event) {
event.preventDefault();
if ( event.touches.length == 1 ) {
curX = event.touches[0].pageX;
curY = event.touches[0].pageY;
} else {
touchCancel(event);
}
}
function touchEnd(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// check to see if more than one finger was used and that there is an ending coordinate
if ( fingerCount == 1 && curX != 0 ) {
// use the Distance Formula to determine the length of the swipe
swipeLength = Math.round(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(curX - startX,2) + Math.pow(curY - startY,2)));
// if the user swiped more than the minimum length, perform the appropriate action
if ( swipeLength >= minLength ) {
caluculateAngle();
determineSwipeDirection();
processingRoutine();
touchCancel(event); // reset the variables
} else {
touchCancel(event);
}
} else {
touchCancel(event);
}
}
function touchCancel(event) {
// reset the variables back to default values
fingerCount = 0;
startX = 0;

deltaY = 0;

}
function caluculateAngle() {
var X = startX-curX;
var Y = curY-startY;
var Z = Math.round(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(X,2)+Math.pow(Y,2))); //the distance - rounded - in pixels
var r = Math.atan2(Y,X); //angle in radians (Cartesian system)
swipeAngle = Math.round(r*180/Math.PI); //angle in degrees
if ( swipeAngle < 0 ) { swipeAngle = 360 - Math.abs(swipeAngle); }
