Serializing unordered lists using jquery - javascript

I have used Lists within a list and I intend to send the id's using jquery to another php file(updateDB.php).
I tried serializing the list but couldn't get the data. I'm not sure if i've got it right, tried looking around every place but couldn't figure out what's wrong with the code.
<ul>
<li id="recordsArray_<?some number?>"><?php echo content?>`
<ul>
<?php
while (some condition) {
?>
<div>
<li id="subArray_<another number?>"><?php echo content?></li>
</div>
<?php
//conditions - increment within the loop
}
?>
</ul>
</li></ul>
the jquery code is something like this,
$(document).ready(function() {
$(function() {
$("#contentLeft ul").sortable({opacity: 0.6, cursor: 'move', update: function() {
var order = $(this).sortable('serialize') + '&action=updateMenuListings';
$.post("updateDB.php", order, function(theResponse) {
$("#contentRight").html(theResponse);
});
}});
});
$(function() {
$("#contentLeft ul li ul").sortable({opacity: 0.6, cursor: 'move', update: function() {
var order = $(this).sortable('serialize') + '&action=updateSubListings';
$.post("updateDB.php", order, function(theResponse) {
$("#contentRight").html(theResponse);
});
}});
});
});
the id's contentLeft are just the id's for before the lists.
I intend to make it draggable hence used sortable.
On debugging, i'm unable to get any id's of the lists in the variable 'order'.
Please do check out the code and help out.
Thanks

Below you'll find some HTML that is structure like yours along with the JavaScript and jQuery to do what you want. This allows you to move the top level items, with all their respective subitems or just rearrange the subitems. Both options generate a body that you can use in the commented out post line.
You can see it in action here: http://jsfiddle.net/WTjsG/
HTML:
<div id="ContentLeft">Sortable With Update
<ul id="Nav" class="sortable navLevel1">
<li id="Nav_1">Nav1
<!-- NOTE: format id's for UL and LI items as <name>_<int> for serialize to work properly -->
<ul id="NavRecords_1" class="sortable navLevel2">
<li id="Nav1_1">Nav1 Item1</li>
<li id="Nav1_2">Nav1 Item2</li>
<li id="Nav1_3">Nav1 Item3</li>
<li id="Nav1_4">Nav1 Item4</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="Nav_2">Nav2
<ul id="NavRecords_2" class="sortable navLevel2">
<li id="Nav2_1">Nav2 Item1</li>
<li id="Nav2_2">Nav2 Item2</li>
<li id="Nav2_3">Nav2 Item3</li>
<li id="Nav2_4">Nav2 Item4</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
JavaScript w/ jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
var isDebugMode = true;
//Set common sort settings for all lists
$(".sortable").sortable({
opacity: 0.6,
cursor: 'move'
});
//Function used to configure update calls for each sort
function setSortAction(selector, updatePage, updateAction, itemLabel) {
$(selector).sortable({
update: function () {
var itemList = $(this).sortable(
"serialize", {
attribute: "id",
key: itemLabel
});
//Create POST request to persist the update
var bodyContent = "action=" + updateAction + "&" + itemList;
if (isDebugMode) { alert("DEBUG: bodyContent = \n" + bodyContent); }
//$.post(updatePage, bodyContent, function (postResult) { alert(postResult); });
}
});
}
//Set sort update action for top level and second level
setSortAction(".navLevel1", "updateDB.php", "updateMenuListings", "record");
setSortAction(".navLevel2", "updateDB.php", "updateMenuItemListings", "record");
});

How can I create json output from deep li structure

I have ol li structure as html and I want to create JSON from that but my code doesn't create that JSON I need. Can any one please help me to solve it?
I need to create JSON like that
[
{"en":"Menu1","enlink":"#enlink1","tr":"Menü 1","trlink":"#trlink1","data":[
{"en":"Menu1-1","enlink":"#enlink1-1","tr":"Menü 1-1","trlink":"#trlink1-1","data":[
{"en":"Menu1-1-1","enlink":"#enlink1-1-1","tr":"Menü 1-1-1","trlink":"#trlink1-1-1"},
{"en":"Menu1-1-2","enlink":"#enlink1-1-2","tr":"Menü 1-1-2","trlink":"#trlink1-1-2"}
]},
]},
{"en":"Menu2","enlink":"#enlink2","tr":"Menü 2","trlink":"#trlink2","data":[
{"en":"Menu2-1","enlink":"#enlink2-1","tr":"Menü 2-1","trlink":"#trlink2-1"},
{"en":"Menu2-1","enlink":"#enlink2-1","tr":"Menü 2-1","trlink":"#trlink2-1"}
]},
{"en":"Menu3","enlink":"#enlink3","tr":"Menü 3","trlink":"#trlink3"}
]
And my sample codes are..
var buildJson = function (root){
if(!root){
root='#domenu-en';
}
var result = [];
$(' ol > li ',root).each(function() {
if($(this).children("ol").length){
result.push({"en":$(this).attr("data-en"),"data":buildJson($(this))});
//return false;
} else{
result.push({"en":$(this).attr("data-en")});
}
});
return result;
}
$('#results').val(JSON.stringify(buildJson()))
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="domenu-en">
<ol>
<li data-enlink="#enlink1" data-en="Menu1" data-trlink="#trlink1" data-tr="Menü 1">
<ol>
<li data-enlink="#enlink1-1" data-en="Menu1-1" data-trlink="#trlink1-1" data-tr="Menü 1-1">
<ol>
<li data-enlink="#enlink1-1-1" data-en="Menu1-1-1" data-trlink="#trlink1-1-1" data-tr="Menü 1-1-1">
</li>
<li data-enlink="#enlink1-1-2" data-en="Menu1-1-2" data-trlink="#trlink1-1-2" data-tr="Menü 1-1-2">
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li data-enlink="#enlink2" data-en="Menu2" data-trlink="#trlink2" data-tr="Menü 2">
<ol>
<li data-enlink="#enlink2-1" data-en="Menu2-1" data-trlink="#trlink2-1" data-tr="Menü 2-1">
</li>
<li data-enlink="#enlink2-1" data-en="Menu2-1" data-trlink="#trlink2-1" data-tr="Menü 2-1">
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li data-enlink="#enlink3" data-en="Menu3" data-trlink="#trlink3" data-tr="Menü 3">
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<textarea id="results" style=" height: 279px;"></textarea>
I found the solution its very simple, in case any one needed I like to share it. If we tell the jQuery select first li as ol:first >li then its generate same hierarchy as li structure.
var buildJson = function (root){
if(!root){
root='#domenu-en';
}
var result = [];
$('ol:first > li ',root).each(function() {
var itemdata = {};
$.each($(this).data(), function(key, value) {
itemdata[key] = value;
});
if($(this).children("ol").length){
itemdata["data"] = buildJson($(this));
}
result.push(itemdata);
});
return result;
}
The main difference seem to be that you don't include the other data- attributes other than the data-en. You can iterate all of the data- attributes on an element with $.each($(this).data(), function(key, value) {}).
In your case that would be something like:
$(' ol > li ',root).each(function() {
var itemdata = {};
$.each($(this).data(), function(key, value) {
itemdata[key] = value;
});
if($(this).children("ol").length){
itemdata["data"] = buildJson($(this));
}
result.push(itemdata);
});
That should give you an equal JSON result. The properties may be in a different order, but that shouldn't matter for JSON (for example: your JSON example had the order en, enlink, tr and trlink, while I got tr, trlink, en and enlink in my example. The order of the menu items in the list is still the same (1, 1-1, 1-2, etc.).

click menu <li> and generate other submenu

Friends have a problem.
When clicking a link from a menu, I need to generate below the selected sub-menu item.
So far I can send the request via ajax, and generate a sub-menu, but this sub-menu always appears in the first position:
HTML CODE (simple menu)
<ul>
<li>Item 1
<ul id="city"></ul>
</li>
<li>Item 2
<ul id="city"></ul>
</li>
<li>Item 3
<ul id="city"></ul>
</li>
<li>Item 4
<ul id="city"></ul>
</li>
<li>Item 5
<ul id="city"></ul>
</li>
</ul>
JS CODE:
$('.region_id').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
$.get('{!! url("filter_city") !!}', {id : $(this).attr('data-id'), token: $('input[name="_token"]').val() }, function(data) {
var cities = $('#city');
cities.empty();
$.each(data, function(key, value) {
cities.append($("<li></li>").text(value));
});
});
});
Result I get when clicking any option
As I can achieve what I want? Greetings from Chile
Identifier in HTML must be unique. You can use a common class and then traverse DOM using various methods.
Here's an example, I have used city as CSS class instead of ID. then the relevant element can be identified using any of these methods.
var cities = $(this).next('.city');
//var cities = $(this).siblings('.city');
//var cities = $(this).closest('li').find('.city');
HTML
<ul>
<li>
Item 1
<ul class="city"></ul>
</li>
</ul>
Script
$('.region_id').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var cities = $(this).next('.city');
$.get('{!! url("filter_city") !!}',
{
id : $(this).data('id'),
token: $('input[name="_token"]').val()
},
function(data) {
cities.empty();
$.each(data, function(key, value) {
cities.append($("<li></li>").text(value));
});
}
);
});
I would recommend you to use .data() instead of attr() to fetch data-* custom attribute value.
var id = $(this).data('id');

Jquery Mobile Duplicating Autodividers

I have a list but when I try to generate autodividers for that list I'm getting duplicate dividers. Here is the code for the ul and the relevant script:
<div data-role="content">
<ul data-role="listview" id="ScheduleList" data-autodividers="true">
<li time="3:30PM">Event 1</li>
<li time="3:30PM">Event 2</li>
<li time="4:30PM">Event 3</li>
<li time="3:30PM">Event 4</li>
<li time="3:30PM">Event 5</li>
<li time="4:30PM">Event 6</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<script>
$(document).on("pageinit", "#ScheduleDay", function(){
$("#ScheduleList").listview({
autodividers: true,
autodividersSelector: function (li) {
var out = li.attr('time');
return out;
}
}).listview('refresh');
});
</script>
Here is the code in JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/4fGT6/65/
I know that I could reorder the list items in the html and that would eliminate the duplicate autodividers, but if I made the list to be generated dynamically from user inputs then I couldn't manually reorder the html.
Is there a way to solve this if the list had been generated dynamically?
Thanks.
First step, sort list items based on data-time attribute (I added data to facilitate reading values - data attribute is ignored by user agent, thus it won't mess up your code).
I used the below simple code, yet genius, made by #undefined.
Update:
Thanks to #Keir Lavelle for reviewing the code of sorting li elements.
var listview = $('#ScheduleList'),
listitems = listview.children('li');
listitems.detach().sort(function (a, b) {
var adata = $(a).data('time');
var bdata = $(b).data('time');
/* return (adata > bdata) ? (adata > bdata) ? 1 : 0 : -1; */
return (adata > bdata) ? 1 : -1;
});
listview.append(listitems);
Second step, apply autodividers dynamically.
$("#ScheduleList").listview({
autodividers: true,
autodividersSelector: function (li) {
var out = li.jqmData('time');
return out;
}
}).listview('refresh');

table row filtering with js or jquery

im not so close with js or jquery, but i have a table with some entries. now i'd like to filter this table by a list on the left side.
i wrote an example. http://jsfiddle.net/B2Muh/2/
<ul class="filter">
<li class="filter-header"> Filter argument 1: </li>
<li> Yahoo </li>
<li> Google </li>
<li class="filter-header"> Filter argument 2: </li>
<li> GPH_est </li>
<li> Q_est </li>
</ul>
<div class="tableResult">
<table class="table">
<tr>
<td>Yahoo</td>
<td>GPH_est</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Google</td>
<td>Q_est</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
the example is very simple. so what i want is, that i can click on any filter argument 1, set this active, and the table shows all entries with the first argument, then if i click on any filter argument 2, the table only shall show entries with the first and the second argument.
i use python and django.
i hope anyone can help me, because i have no idea :)
EDIT: now i have added the markups
Mocked up the functionaltiy you requested, using some slow, simple, exhaustive checks. --http://jsfiddle.net/B2Muh/3/
$(function () {
$filterArgs = $("ul li").filter(function () {
var txt = $(this).text();
return txt.indexOf("Filter") < 0;
});
$filterArgs.click(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('active');
$("table tr").hide();
$("table tr td").each(function () {
$rowData = $(this);
$filterArgs.filter(".active").each(function () {
if ($rowData.text() == $(this).text()) {
$rowData.parent().show();
return false;
}
});
});
});
});
I've written a sample code. I think this is what you want.
$('body').on('click','li',function(){
var filterText=$(this).html().trim();
var splicedTextArray=filterText.split(" ");
var filter=splicedTextArray[0].toLowerCase();
$('tr').each(function(index,value){
var valueText=$(this).find('td:first').html();
var isRegexmatch=valueText.toLowerCase().indexOf(filter);
if(isRegexmatch<0)
{
$(this).hide();
}else
{
$(this).show();
}
});
});

set order to jquery sortable

I use jquery draggble function for unorderd list (ul) and face a problem of getting the order of items after it changed and setting the order ofter page is loaded.Suppose we have the following code :
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js> </script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.secondblock').sortable({axis:'y'});
$(".block").sortable({
axis: 'y',
update: function(event, ui) {// order changed
var order = jQuery(this).sortable('toArray');
// set this order to .secondblock
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="block" type="none">
<li id = "one">1</li>
<li id = "two">2</li>
<li id = "three">3</li>
<li id = "four">4</li>
<li id = "five">5</li>
</ul>
<ul class="secondblock" type="none">
<li id = "one">1</li>
<li id = "two">2</li>
<li id = "three">3</li>
<li id = "four">4</li>
<li id = "five">5</li>
</ul>
</body>
Are there any possible solutions?
First, you shouldn't have the same id appear twice in a document. That will cause all kinds of problems.
Instead, set a data-attribute on the items in the second list to reflect corresponding items in the first list:
<ul class="block" type="none">
<li id = "one">1</li>
<li id = "two">2</li>
<li id = "three">3</li>
<li id = "four">4</li>
<li id = "five">5</li>
</ul>
<ul class="secondblock" type="none">
<li data-block-id = "one">1</li>
<li data-block-id = "two">2</li>
<li data-block-id = "three">3</li>
<li data-block-id = "four">4</li>
<li data-block-id = "five">5</li>
</ul>
Then reflecting the sort of the first list in the second list is simple:
$('.block').sortable({update: sortOtherList});
function sortOtherList(){
$('.block li').each(function(){
$('.secondblock [data-block-id=' + $(this).attr('id') + ']')
.remove()
.appendTo($('.secondblock'));
});
}

Faust's looks better to me. Mark it if it's what you wanted.
Yes. I feel like I need more information, but I had to do almost the exact same thing recently.
First, you want to extend the javascript array object with a sorting algorithm. Here is what I use:
Array.prototype.move = function (old_index, new_index) {
if (new_index >= this.length) {
var k = new_index - this.length;
while ((k--) + 1) {
this.push(undefined);
}
}
this.splice(new_index, 0, this.splice(old_index, 1)[0]);
return this; // for testing purposes
};
source Move an array element from one array position to another
Then, what I would do is use this along with an OldPosition/NewPosition function to get the index of the element before and after the sort, and use this method to move the object in the array.
I think JQuery sort let's you get information about the array before and after the sort
ex:
$('li').presort(function() {
window.oldindex = $(this).index();
});
$('li').postsort(function() {
window.newindex = $(this).index();
array.move(oldindex,newindex);
});
If you're just looking to make .secondblock match .block after sort, you can do this:
source: http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#events
$( ".selector" ).sortable({
start: function(event, ui) { //Get the order of the .block list items before dragging }
});
$( ".selector" ).sortable({
stop: function(event, ui) { //Get the new order of the list items after dragging. Compare the two orders and sort .secondblock to match block }
});
