Auto hide alert messages at OpenCart - javascript

I am trying to auto hide the ajax alert messages in OpenCart version 2.3.0.2 but I can't make it work correctly. I added the code below in my template's header file so I can hide the .alert div after 5 seconds:
setTimeout(function() {
$(".alert").hide("slide", { direction: "right" }, 150);
}, 5000);
It works fine but only for the first alert triggered and I have to reload/refresh the page to make the hide script work again !
What am I doing wrong?

tl;dr You have to iterate on the array returned by $(".alert").
See this CodePen
Also, you should not use setTimeout to trigger the callback after DOM has loaded ; jQuery has $(document).ready() for that.
JavaScript
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".alert").each(function(){
$(this).hide();
})
});

Function initiated in ajax call only works one time

I am using a plugin called mixitup that makes sure I have a masonry layout with some animations.
The masonry comes from another page which gets loaded in through ajax. I have a search bar which searches for photos and returns them from the masonry page. The issue is this works the first time but not the second time and so on. Why is that?
My code for the search input:
$('.photosearchinput').keyup(function(e) {
clearTimeout($.data(this, 'timer'));
if (e.keyCode == 13){
searchphotos(true);
}else{
$(this).data('timer', setTimeout(searchphotos, 500));
}
});
My function that makes the ajax call and which has my masonry mixitup function in the complete:
function searchphotos(force) {
var photoform = $(".photosearchform").serialize();
$.ajax({
type:'post',
url:"includes/photoresults.php",
data:({photoform: photoform}),
success:function(data){
$( "#searchphotos" ).show().empty().append( data );
},
complete:function(){
// I tried calling #masongallery from the body (body always stays the same and does not get added again)
$('body').find('#masonrygallery').mixItUp({
selectors: {
target: '.tile',
filter: '.filter',
sort: '.sort-btn'
},
animation: {
animateResizeContainer: false,
effects: 'fade scale'
}
});
}
});
}
I thought maybe the DOM gets reloaded and jquery cannot find the element #masonrygallery anymore so I tried calling it like this: $('body').find('#masonrygallery').mixItUp({ the body never gets reloaded so maybe this would fix it, but no. I get the same result. It works the first time, but not any time after that.
I have made a video to show what I mean: https://streamable.com/njy6x7
I get no errors in my console. And when I look in the network tab to see what ajax is retrieving, I see the correct images, they are just not visible as masonry layout (in fact they are not visible on the page at all but this is because of the plugin).

simulate click in a SVG file when load page

i want create a focus on location "Molise, italy" when load a SVG map in my page http://goo.gl/0ZywjM
so i have created this simple script in jquery
<script>
jQuery('#path20684').click();
</script>
it work , but only after load the page and after insert this from chrome console , if insert this on footer not work because the svg file it not part of dom. how i can solve this, or have other solution ?
update it work only with this:
window.setInterval(function(){
jQuery('#path20684').click();
}, 1000);
but with this every second is clicked , so i think the problem is the script start before a SVG file is loaded, how solve ?
http://jsfiddle.net/CYhgZ/90/
please check the above link for demo
$(function() {
// when click event happens below code executed
$('path').on('click', function() {
alert("clicked")
});
//simulating click event automatically when page load
$('path').trigger("click");
//or
//$('path').click();
});

Wrapping all AJAX calls jQuery

I populate many parts of my website using
$("#theDivToPopulate").load("/some/api/call.php", callBackToBindClickEventsToNewDiv);
Where /some/api/call.php returns a built list, div, or some other HTML structure to place directly into my target div. The internet has been running slow lately and I've noticed that the time between a button click (which kicks off these API calls) and the div populating is several seconds. Is there an easy way to globally wrap all the load calls so that a div containing "Loading..." is displayed before the call is even made and hidden once the API call is complete.
I can not simply put the code to hide the div into the callBackToBindClickEventsToNewDiv as some load events have different call backs. I would have to copy the code into each function which is ugly and defeats the purpose. I want the flow of any .load to go as follows:
1) dispplayLoadingDiv()
2) Execute API call
3) Hide loading div
4) do callback function.
The loading div must be hidden first as the callback contains some animations to bring the newly loaded div in nicely.
EDIT:
Expanding on jacktheripper's answer:
var ajaxFlag;
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
ajaxFlag = true;
setTimeout(function (e) {
if(ajaxFlag) {
hideAllDivs();
enableDivs(['loading']);
}
}, 500);
}).ajaxStop(function(){
ajaxFlag = false;
var load = $("#loading");
load.css('visibility','hidden');
load.css('display','none');
load.data('isOn',false);
});
This way loading is only displayed if the page takes more than 500 MS to load. I found the loading flying in and out real fast made things kind of choppy for fast page loads.
Use the following jQuery:
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
$('#loader').show();
}).ajaxStop(function(){
$('#loader').hide();
});
Where you have an element called #loader that contains what you want to show when an AJAX request is being performed. It could be a span with text, an image (eg a gif), or anything similar. The element should be initially set to display: none
You do not even need to call the function anywhere else.
Try this
$("#someButtonId").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#theDivToPopulate").html("Loading...");
$.get("/some/api/call.php",function(data){
$("#theDivToPopulate").fadeOut(100,function(){
$("#theDivToPopulate").html(data).fadeIn(100,function(){
//Do your last call back after showing the content
});
});
});
});

jQuery slow reveal on page load

I am trying to do a slow reveal on a particular div with an id of 'contentblock' on page load. This is my first time trying to code something in jQuery and I continue to fail. The following is my latest attempt, but I'm a complete newbie to this and surprisingly google hasn't been a whole lot of help.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(window).onload(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
return false;
});
</script>
before that I also had the following instead of the window onload line above:
$(document).ready(function(){
But that didn't have any success either. Can someone help a jQuery newbie out?
First, you'll need to make sure the element is hidden (or it won't be shown, since it's already visible). You can do this in either CSS or JavaScript/jQuery:
#contentblock {
display: none;
}
Or:
$('#contentblock').hide();
If you use CSS to hide the element you need to be aware that the element will remain hidden in the event of JavaScript being disabled in the user's browser. If you use JavaScript there's the problem that the element will likely flicker as it's first shown and then hidden.
And then call:
$(window).load(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
});
I've made two amendments to your jQuery, first I've changed onload to load and I've also removed the return false, since the load() method doesn't expect any value to be returned it serves no purpose herein.
For the above jQuery you can use instead:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
});
$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#contentblock').is(':hidden'))
{
$('#contentblock').slideDown('slow');
}
});
if you have jquery added to your project and your div is display none ... something like this should work.

Basic jQuery problems

I am struggling with jQuery for a long time now. It is very powerful and there are lot of great things we can do with jQuery.
My problem is that I use a lot of jQuery features at the same time. E.g. I have a site that displays items, 12 items per page and I can paginate through the pages using jQuery. On the same page I implemented a thumpsUp button that uses jQuery too.
The more jQuery features I use, the harder it gets to arrange them properly. E.g.:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".cornerize").corner("5px"); //cornerize links
$('a#verd').live('click', exSite); //open iframe
$("a.tp").live('click', thumpsUp); //thumps up
$("a#next").click(getProgramms); //next page
$("a#previous").click(getProgramms); //previous page
//for the current page reload the content
$("a#page").each(function() {
$(this).click(getProgramms);
});
//this isn't working...
$('.smallerpost').live('click', alert('test'));
});
Have a look at the last code line. I want to perform an alert when the div element is clicked. Instead of doing so the page shows me the alert when I refresh the page. A click on the div has no effect.
What am I doing wrong? What would be a strategy here to have clean and working jQuery?
Change that line to
$('.smallerpost').live('click', function () {
alert('test');
});
and while you're there...
$("a#page").each(function() {
$(this).click(getProgramms);
});
has exactly the same effect as:
$('a#page').click(getProgramms);
... but technically there should be only one element with id='page' anyway
Your code $('.smallerpost').live('click', alert('test')); calls the alert immediately and passes its return value into the live function as the second parameter. What you want to pass there is a function to call, so you want:
$('.smallerpost').live('click', function() {
alert('test');
});
or
$('.smallerpost').live('click', handleSmallerPostClick);
function handleSmallerPostClick() {
alert('test');
}
...depending on how you structure your code.
