check if sitecatalyst / Omniture s.t() has been called - javascript

I want to to check if the s.t() or page load has already been called on a site. I control when it gets called, but I want a very generic way to ask if it has already been called. The main purpose is to either call s.t() or s.tl() depending on what has previously happened.

This will return true if the SiteCatalyst code has fired.
(function(){for(w_m in window)if(w_m.substring(0,4)=='s_i_'&&window[w_m].src)if(window[w_m].src.indexOf('/b/ss/')>=0)return!0;})()

Unfortunately I do not know when this was introduced to AppMeasurement and I did not find any documentation about it but I accidentially found the following two callback functions that we use successfully to identify the moment shortly before and after the tracking request.
s.registerPreTrackCallback(function() {
console.log('Pre-Track');
});
s.registerPostTrackCallback(function() {
console.log('Post-Track');
});

This answer gives the concept behind it- before firing either function, check if the other was already fired. For example:
s.pageName="page";
s.eVar1="value";
if(!linkFired) {
var pageFired=true;
s.t();
}
if(!pageFired) {
var linkFired=true;
s.tl(this,'o','custom link');
}

I'm not sure this will actually give you any answers but you could also overwrite the s.t function with something like:
s.AltSt = s.t;
s.t = function (vo) {
s.AltSt(vo);
console.log("Do your own stuff!");
}
Haven't 100% tested this but on first observation this should work..

you could wait to see if s is called
setTimeout(function checkIfsLoad() {
if (typeof s == 'object') {
doYourStuff();
} else {
setTimeout(checkIfsLoad,150);
}
}, 150);

trying to attach a click event to an id that only fires once

UPDATE turns out the code is actually working see my answer below
I'm having some troubles here. I thought I found my answer in the .one method, but apparently, .one means ONLY ONCE PER PAGE PER ANYTHING EVER which isn't exactly what I was going for. Here's what my intention was:
$("#someID").one('mouseover', function() {
//do some stuff
});
$("#someOtherID").one('mouseover', function() {
//do some stuff
});
My expectation was that once that first one fired, that mouseover event would no longer fire for THAT ELEMENT.
The problem with this is that once the first one fires, the second one will not fire either. So the .one method appears to be disabling ALL mouseover events for ALL elements after that first one fires.
I did not expect this, I expected the .one to only apply to that first element. Is this just a flaw in my understanding of the .one method or am I coding wrong?
If it's just a flaw in my understanding, could someone point me in the right direction to correct my code?
Thank you in advance!
This is embarassing, I hope I don't get dinged for this and blocked again from stackoverflow (the easiest thing ever to get blocked from and the hardest to get unblocked).
First, #CertainPerformance, thanks for taking the time to look at my question. My real code didn't have the two mistakes you mentioned, I updated my post to reflect the correct syntax.
I'll be honest, my code is working now, and I have no idea why. I suspect I've been dealing with some crazy caching issues which frustrates me because I'm using inMotionHosting which has really great reviews, and I have caching disabled in cPanel.
If anything, maybe this thread will benefit somebody searching "how to make event fire only once in javascript".
You could make the callback run once like this:
// Extend the function prototype
Function.prototype.once = function() {
// Variables
var func = this, // Current function
result;
// Returns the function
return function() {
// If function is set
if(func) {
// Executes the function
result = func.apply(this, arguments);
// Unset the function, so it will not be called again
func = null;
}
// (:
return result;
};
};
// Bind the event to the function you will use as a callback
$("#someID").on('mouseover', function() {
console.log('just once');
}.once());

run function after eventlistener finished

I have the following code that checks if there is a gyroscope available for the user to interact with. I do this in the following way:
function check_user_hardware(){
window.addEventListener("devicemotion", function(event){
if(event.rotationRate.alpha || event.rotationRate.beta || event.rotationRate.gamma){
if (!gyroscope) {
gyroscope = true;
current_interaction_mode = 'gyroscope_option';
set_user_ui_elements();
}
}else{
followMouse = true;
current_interaction_mode = 'followMouse_option';
console.log("checked for motion");
set_user_ui_elements();
window.addEventListener('mousemove', get_user_mouse_pos);
}
calculate_rotation_mesh_pos(event.rotationRate.beta, event.rotationRate.gamma);
}, function(){
console.log("generate_scene???");
generate_scene();
});
}
the problem i am having is that after this check some scene is generated.
But this scene requires a var to be set first first in the check. But the check takes to long so i added a callback after the check is completed.
But this callback never fires... Why? In other words generate_scene??? is never logged and generate_scene(); is never run.
Why is this happening? and what would be the proper way to do this?
if anything is unclear please let me know so i can clarify :)
Your problem is next: the third parameter in your .addEventListener method is function, it shouldn't be, because in documentation third parameter is Boolean if exactly "useCapture".
Try to declare generate_scene function out of check_user_hardware() and then just call it after
calculate_rotation_mesh_pos(event.rotationRate.beta,event.rotationRate.gamma);
generate_scene();
It might work.

Can I make Javascript always call a method after JQuery Load?

We have started using jquery load in our site to load contents into a div rather than re-loading whole page. However in the complete function we have a method that re-applies various bindings. Is it possible to provide load method with a default complete function? So developers don't have to specify it in the jquery load complete function.
As we currently are providing a lot of duplicate complete functions
E.g.
$('#Target').load(callBackRedirect, function () {
ApplyBindings('#Target');
});
These bindings can't be applied using on and need to be re-applied on page loads. We also do some other work that we want to do on every page load.
The answer is no.
You need the callback because that's what the method calls when the request is done.
This works with on method to, you might be doing something wrong out there in the code.
You could create a helper function for this.
function loadSomething(targetElement, uri,callback) {
targetElement.load(uri, callback);
}
loadSomething(
$('myElement'),
'mylink.com/content',
function() {
applyBindings($(this));
}
)
Yes. Check out the list of Global AJAX Event Handlers.
e.g.
$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
alert('Triggered ajaxComplete handler.');
});
That said, you shouldn't need to reapply your bindings after an AJAX call. If you need to do this, you're probably doing something wrong. Check out jQuery.on, which explains how to bind to content which is added dynamically.
Try $.ajaxSetup:
$.ajaxSetup({
complete: function() {
ApplyBindings('#target');
}
});
EDIT
You could also make a named function like:
var ajaxApplyBindings = function() {
ApplyBindings('#Target');
// anything else...
};
And then pass it to load:
$('#Target').load(callBackRedirect, ajaxApplyBindings);

IE11 script onload not working (sometimes)

I am currently working on a data-intensive web application that frequently communicates with an external API and retrieves JSONP data when returned. The script depends upon a library called head.js v1.0.3. http://headjs.com/ to accomplish this. However, I noticed that in IE 11 for some reason, the onload event for the script sometimes, but not always, fires before the script has actually loaded into the browser. The behavior is demonstrable whether using head.js or not. Alternatively, I may create a script element with the onload event set to capture the returned data. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not. Even more weird is that once it happens the first time, it seems to keep happening for the duration of the browser session.
Any ideas for a workaround?
Here is some example code:
//somejson.js
/*
window["queryResult"] = {blah:'blah'}
*/
function loadScript() {
head.load("/somejson.js", afterScriptLoad)
}
function afterScriptLoad() {
var result = queryResult
//Throws error because window.queryResult is sometimes undefined
}
After a little bit of research, it seems the only way around this bug is to modify the API so that once the variable holding the JSONP is initialized, the script itself triggers the callback. Unfortunately, this would not work as a solution for others if they do not have access to modify whatever API is in use, but it does solve the problem for me.
//somejson.js
/*
window["queryResult"] = {blah:'blah'}; scriptCallback()
*/
function loadScript(callback) {
var c = new afterScriptLoad(callback)
window["scriptCallback"] = c
head.load("/somejson.js", c)
}
function afterScriptLoad(callback) {
var retrieved = false
return function () {
if (!retrieved) {
retrieved = true
callback(queryResult)
}
}
}
function myCallback(response) {
//do something
}

How do i execute a callback in a jQuery Plugin code

This may sound really like a newbie .. But i used the jQuery Boilerplate on this page - http://stefangabos.ro/jquery/jquery-plugin-boilerplate-revisited/ and created a plugin. Everything works fine, except now i want to add a callback. I want to execute this -
$.Alerter({'message':'this is a test','onSuccess':function(data) { alert(data); } });
The onSuccess is a callback function which is added to the defaults.
My question is – how do i send the output to the onSuccess. I want it to return back a TRUE or FALSE value after certain steps have been executed in the init()
Something like this:
plugin.result = null;
plugin.init = function() {
// do stuff
...
// save _result in public variable result
plugin.result = _result;
}
If you are writing this plugin for dom operations, you could also use it like plugin.data('result',_result);
Since I don't know anything else I can't give further insight.
Hope this will help you.
