Loading exteral file with load(), modifying and then displaying with fancybox plugin - javascript

I'm trying to load an external file after the click of a button, modifying some html of the external file and then displaying it through the fancybox plugin.I have been trying for days now to do this and no success.
A button
<a id="preview" class="btn btn-lg btn-success">Preview</a>
Then some code to load the external html file into an element whose display is off (I know this is wrong, I don't know how else to do it). Then, I try to open this element with fancybox.
$('#preview').click(function() {
$('#loader').load("demo/external.html", function(page) {
$.fancybox.open({ content: $('loader'), type: iframe});
})
});
As you can tell, I'm an amateur at this. Any help would be really appreciated.

With more research I found that everything can be done through the Fancybox API. I used the beforeShow to modify what I wanted on the external page. $('.fancybox-iframe') was used to access the contents.
$.fancybox({
'href': 'demo/external.html',
'type': 'iframe',
'autoSize': true,
beforeShow: function () {
$('.fancybox-iframe').contents().find('#name').text(name);
}
});

Ajax/Magnific-PopUp switching content within a popup

I'm having difficulty with Magnific-popup and its AJAX. I want to simply switch the content of a popup if the link is also a popup. This should work by default, but somehow it doesn't.
JavaScript:
$('.magnific').magnificPopup({
type: 'ajax',
ajax: {
settings: null,
cursor: 'mfp-ajax-cur',
tError: 'The content could not be loaded.'
},
closeOnContentClick: false,
closeOnBgClick: true,
showCloseBtn: false,
mainClass: 'mfp-fade',
callbacks: {
parseAjax: function(mfpResponse) {
mfpResponse.data = $(mfpResponse.data).find('.overlay');
console.log('Ajax content loaded:', mfpResponse);
},
ajaxContentAdded: function() {
console.log(this.content);
}
}
});
This works with a link on the standard site. But if there is a link within the popup, it just executes that link, ignoring the Magnific Popup.
My best guess is, that it cant initiate itself because it cant find the selector (like if you use .click instead of .on('click'...)), but I don't seem to figure it out on my own.
Any help would be VERY! apprechiated!
EDIT: Ok I have identified the problem. It seems that the code in functions.js is not available at all within the limits of a popup. Is there a way to make the .js file available in the popup? The only way I made it work is by including the .js file in every file that has a magnific link... but that seems really dirty. Should I load it with the ajax callback or is there another way?
Best regards,

Multiple instances of jQuery plugin (Magnific popup)

I've hit a bit of a wall with this one. My jQuery knowledge outside of just implementation is pretty poor.
I'm building the Magnific Popup (http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/) jQuery plugin into my WordPress theme as a popup gallery. I've got it all wired up and working. It grabs images dynamically from the backend using custom fields. I can also get multiple instances working on the same page. HOWEVER, when scrolling through images in one popup gallery, it wont end at the end of the first gallery but rather, it will move on into the images in the second gallery. See example: http://www.oftenvisual.com/reset/galleries/.
Unfortunately I can't post the code here as it's too long, but hopefully the demo page helps. Because the galleries are generated dynamically and the client using the backend wont have the knowledge to add container with different classes, I need some way to also dynamically separate out the galleries. Any idea GREATLY appreciated!
Script calling the plugin
// Magnific
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.popup-gallery').magnificPopup({
delegate: 'a',
type: 'image',
tLoading: 'Loading image #%curr%...',
mainClass: 'mfp-img-mobile',
gallery: {
enabled: true,
navigateByImgClick: true,
preload: [0,1] // Will preload 0 - before current, and 1 after the current image
},
image: {
tError: 'The image #%curr% could not be loaded.',
titleSrc: function(item) {
return item.el.attr('title');
}
}
});
});
try to set different id_s on your .popup-gallery div's and then do
$('#popup-gallery1').magnificPopup....
$('#popup-gallery2').magnificPopup....
You may use jQuery contains selector to point "a" tag with specific class name - a[class*='popup-gallery-']. If you have different IDs for you pop-ups it just work as a charm. It just search for all "a" where class contains "popup-gallery-".
And if it matches, it fires up the Magnific Pop Up etc.
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("a[class*='popup-gallery-']").magnificPopup({
//your settings goes here
});
});
HTML:
# first div
<a class="popup-gallery-1" href="#popup-1">First popup</a>
<div id="popup-1"> Your content here </div>
# second div
<a class="popup-gallery-2" href="#popup-2">Second popup</a>
<div id="popup-2"> Your content here </div>
You can simply use jquery's each with the same class, for example:
$('.popup-gallery').each(function() {
$(this).magnificPopup({
delegate: 'a', // child items selector, by clicking on it popup will open
type: 'image', // override with class 'mfp-iframe' on delegate or any other supported type
gallery: {enabled:true },
});
});
And now if you have multiple .popup-gallery divs, they all work separately.

Form Has No Javascript Functionality When Displayed In Colorbox

I have a form with drop-down hierarchical fields with functionality derived from a JavaScript plugin called mcDropdown jQuery Plug-in.
The actual form is on a secondary page (Test.php) and set up to display on the main page through a Colorbox popup with the results also displayed in the Colorbox upon form submission.
The form submits and displays correctly in the Colorbox in its native HTML format when the JavaScript is removed (i.e. just using plain drop-down boxes).
However, when the Javascript is implemented in the form allowing the hierarchial drop-down structure of the fields there is no JS functionality when rendered through Colorbox.
Since the actual page that the form is on (Test.php) works fine by itself with the Javascript, there appears to be some issue rendering the JS through the Colorbox.
My research has indicated that this may be due to trying to access an element before it has been loaded into the document.
The Colorbox website states that this can be resolved by moving the JavaScript into ColorBox's onComplete callback; however, even with the example given, I cannot figure out how to do this correctly as I am a complete novice when it comes to JS.
Here is the drop-down script on the secondary page that has the form and ties into the external plugin (note that there are three fields in this form that use this JS hierarchical configuration):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function (){
$("#category").mcDropdown("#categorymenu",
{
targetColumnSize: 3,
}
);
$("#category1").mcDropdown("#categorymenu1",
{
targetColumnSize: 3,
}
);
$("#category2").mcDropdown("#categorymenu2",
{
targetColumnSize: 3,
}
);
});
</script>
Here is the Colorbox script on the main page that opens the secondary page in the Colorbox window:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!--<Check-Out Colorbox Script>-->
jQuery(function(){
jQuery('#link_content').colorbox({opacity:0.3, height:"100%", scrolling: false, onComplete: function(){
link_content_submit();
}});
});
function link_content_submit()
{
jQuery("#pre-process").submit(function(){
jQuery.post(
jQuery(this).attr('action'),
jQuery(this).serialize(),
function(data){
jQuery().colorbox({html: data, onComplete: function(){
link_content_submit();
}});
}
);
return false;
});
}
</script>
The three external files are: jquery.mcdropdown.js, jquery-1.2.6.min.js and jquery.bgiframe.js.
How can this Colorbox script on the main page be modified so the JS functionality of the form is preserved when displayed through Colorbox?
Thank you in advance for any detailed answers for this beginner.
Here is the answer:
<script type="text/javascript"> <!--<Check-Out Colorbox Script>-->
jQuery(function(){
jQuery('#link_content').colorbox({opacity:0.3, height:"100%", scrolling: false, onComplete: function(){
link_content_submit(), $('#category').mcDropdown('#categorymenu'),$('#category1').mcDropdown('#categorymenu1'),$('#category2').mcDropdown('#categorymenu2');
}});
});
function link_content_submit()
{
jQuery("#pre-process").submit(function(){
jQuery.post(
jQuery(this).attr('action'),
jQuery(this).serialize(),
function(data){
jQuery().colorbox({html: data, onComplete: function(){
link_content_submit();
}});
}
);
return false;
});
}
</script>
The respective JavaScript functions for each drop-down box in the JS form are integrated into the Colorbox onComplete: function() so each of these form elements is loaded before it is accessed through Colorbox.

Opening Shadowbox from javascript function

I'm trying to open Shadowbox from within a radio button onclick event on a asp.net web form without success. I was initially opening it using a button click which worked fine, but now need to make sure it happens when the radio button option is selected. I then tried to click the button in javascript (button.click()), but that only worked in IE and Newer versions of firefox. So I have opted to use Shadowbox.open, but it is causing some issues. Here is my code:
if (yes.checked == true)
{
var url = 'http://localhost:52963/items.aspx';
Shadowbox.open( { content: url,
type: "iframe",
title: "sbTitle ",
options: { initialHeight:350,
initialWidth:450,
loadingImage:"loading.gif",
handleUnsupported: 'link'
}
});
}
This just seems to bring up the overlay but doesn't open the web page inside it. Anyone know where I'm going wrong?
Apparently I needed to add a player as well as a type. So the amended code is this:
Shadowbox.open( { content: url,
type: "iframe",
player: "iframe",
title: "sbTitle ",
options: { initialHeight:350,
initialWidth:450,
loadingImage:"loading.gif",
handleUnsupported: 'link'
}
});
I had a lot of trouble with this, I tried firing click using .trigger('click') from jquery , but that didnt work in chrome (worked in firefox)
Turns out the answer is pretty simple, similar to e-on answer, but dialed down.
Your images are in a normal shadowbox gallery
<div class="gallery">
<a href="/img1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[gallery1]" >
<img id="Image0" src="/img1.jpg" />
</a>
<a href="/img2.jpg" rel="shadowbox[gallery1]" >
<img id="Image1" src="/img2.jpg" />
</a>
</div>
Then your clickable link
Click to view all images
I wired up the clickable link via jquery in a document.ready call
$('.galleryLauncher').click(function () {
//gallery to launch
var id = $(this).attr('gallery');
//get the first item out of the cache
var content = Shadowbox.cache[1].content;
//default options object
var options = {};
//now we can open it
Shadowbox.open({
content: content,
player: "img",
gallery: id,
options: options
});
return false;
});

upgrade window.open popup to jQuery UI Dialog

I've created a form with a button. If users click the button, browser will generate a popup for user to upload and crop a photo.
onclick="window.open('upload.php');"
if uploaded
window.opener.document.getElementById
the popup will return the cropped pic to the opener window (form)
document.getElementById("errMsg").innerHTML="<input type=\'button\'
onclick=\'window.close();\' value=\'Use this pic\'>";
Finally, the popup will generate a "Use this pic" button.
Now, I want to upgrade this popup to jQuery Dialog to make it polish. How can I do that?
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#default
Try Using a Modal Form in which you can call the dialog for user to upload & crop the image and on clicking Use this pic on the dialog; return to your page and continue your application.
Better performances, you can use Jquery Modal Form with lighbox for a better UI.
Cheers!!!
What is the problem?
Take upload.php's code (the stuff within the BODY element) and put it inside the caller page, within a DIV.
Then apply a dialog with jQuery on that DIV. Then just activate that dialog when needed.
Now, as for the code itself - I'm sure you need to re-wire a few things but the idea is very simple and I really don't understand why this question has a bounty of +100 reputation, really. Not that I mind having it haha!
I hope I got what exactly you're trying to achieve.
Here is jsfiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/nNw33/3/
Here is the code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#initUpload').click(function (event) {
$('#Dialog').dialog();
setTimeout(function () {
// upload completes
$('#errMsg')
.html("<input type=\'button\' value=\'Use this pic\'>")
.click(function () {
$('#Dialog').dialog('close');
});
}, 1500);
});
});
HTML:
<input type="button" id="initUpload" value="Upload" />
<div id="Dialog" style="display: none">
Upload content here
<div id="errMsg"></div>
</div>
You should read this cute plugin, which allows you to upload files asynchroniously.
http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#options-object
Add following in body whereever on page it fits:
<button onclick="openPopup()">Show dialog</button>
<div id="modalFormDia"><!-- blank --></div>
Add following to head to load plugin. Nice example usage here
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
It works with a hidden iframe, submitting the results to your backend without opening any windows.
This way everything can be done in one 'window' or, lets make that the dialog popup youre probably looking for
Grab sample code from a fiddle here. Following code can be put anywhere as well, globally accessible
function onComplete(xhr) {
// Lets expect that the server sends back
// the URL pointing to uploaded image, an error if failed
if (xhr.responseText.match("error")) {
// failed
$("#feedback").html("Upload failed: " + xhr.responseText);
} else {
// uploaded
$("#feedback").html('Upload done <button>"LOVING IT, USE THIS"</button>').click(function() {
// image accepted, close dialog and set the image on main page
diaDom.dialog('close')
$('#targetOnPage') // ....
});
$('#preview').html('<img src="' + xhr.responseText + '" alt="Image preview loads here"/' + '>');
}
}
function openPopup() {
// get the dialog DOM node (if first time, create)
var diaDom = $('#modalFormDia')
diaDom.html('<form id="myForm" onsubmit="return false;" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">' + '<input type="file" name="myfile"><br>' + '<input type="submit" value="Upload File to Server">' + '<hr/><div id="preview"></div><div id="feedback"></div>').dialog({
buttons: {
"Cancel": function() {
$(diaDom).dialog('close');
}
},
closeOnEscape: false,
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
title: 'Image Uploader'
});
// setup form with hooks
$('#myForm').ajaxForm({
beforeSend: function() {
$('#feedback').html('Upload starting')
},
complete: onComplete
});
}​
