Sometimes it makes sense to have a link within a fancybox to launch another fancybox (or load content within the current one).
Say, you have a fancybox error message on login. You also have a "email me my password" widget that works via a fancybox. You may want to combine the two to say (in a fancybox):
Bad password!
Forgot my password!
Unfortunately, this will not work. I considered adding the following js:
$('#fancybox-content a').live('click', function(){
$(this).fancybox();
});
Surprisingly, this sort of worked: You have to click on the link twice and then the right thing happens. Ugh.
Finally, I found a hacky ugly work-around (it works!):
$('#fancybox-content a').live('click', function(){
var href = $(this).attr('href'); //assume there is a selector inside href
$.fancybox($(href).html()); //find the html manually and load
});
What is the right way to accomplish this?
This is i how i solved this problem in my projects:
$('a.fancybox').live("click",function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$.fancybox({href: href})
});
In this way you can add fancybox to any current un future A elements with .fancybox class so you don't have to define new events after opening fancybox.
Version 2 is already using "live", so using class names - `$(".fancybox").fancybox();' - would also work on elements loaded using ajax
You should be telling elements to open a Fancybox from within your plugin.
Somewhere you have the following ->
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#my_element").fancybox();
});
That's a very basic function to open a Fancybox, and not only that, but it will also what to open based on the href of the element. You don't need to do any leg work here.
So if you have ->
Forgot my password!
Simply add an ID, such as 'x' for simplicity ->
<a id="x" href="#forgot-password">Forgot my password!</a>
Then, enable the Fancybox plugin for this element.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#my_element").fancybox();
//this is for our new container to fire
$("#x").fancybox();
});
That should be all you need.

Scenario: user profile. I would like to be able to display a user name with a popover that displays a limited amount of information from the user profile. So far, I have that part working. I can build it on the fly and have it do what I need. The popover works perfectly.
What I would also like to do is have the user be able to click on the user name and bring up a Bootstrap modal form with more information about the user (if provided). The first problem I am seeing is that it appears the data-toggle attribute can only have a single setting:
echo '' . $user_row['user_name'] . '';
In that example, if I add the modal to the data-toggle attribute it doesn't seem to do me much good.
I have discovered by tinkering (and that is why the class 'userprof' in the code above), that a JavaScript click event can be triggered (right now all I'm doing is a basic JS alert dialog to test), but from there I would want to load the modal. I am not sure if I can make it all work.
I have a set of functions I've used successfully for another modal (calling this one 'userModal') that I got some help from someone here a while back with -- is it possible to call that from the click event?
// code to open the modal with the caption and description:
$('#userModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (event)
{
var button = $(event.relatedTarget); // Button that triggered the modal
var title = button.data('title'); // Extract info from data-* attributes
var body = button.data('body'); // Extract info from data-* attributes
var modal = $(this);
modal.find('.modal-title').text( title );
modal.find('.modal-body').append( body );
});
// when modal closes, clear out the body:
$('#userModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function ()
{
$(this).find(".modal-body").text('');
});
Since these are "anonymous" functions I am not sure I can call them ... feeling a bit lost in the code here. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great. I'd even be willing to consider a different idea, but I would like this kind of functionality (hover and click) for this situation and possibly something else. Thanks!
You're listening for the modal to show itself, when the DOM is showing the modal.
try using something like this, and use a button or a link with data-toggle="modal"
$(document).on('hidden.bs.modal', '#userModal', function ()
{
$(this).find(".modal-body").text('');
});
for reference https://jsfiddle.net/y063mu4t/1/
You can try:
$(document).on('click', 'a.userprof', function(){
$('#userModal').modal('show');
});
To make your callback function work, you need to add according data-* attribute to each of the <a> tag.
I've build up an menu with jQuery.jsTree and every item should contain a link to a specific page. With jsTree it isnt possible to click these links due to the prevention of the standard behaviour of
<a href="index.php?content=example" ... >....</a>
links (this is actually an example of one of my links. The index.php is my standard page and just the content will be replaced). In order to fix that I found this solution:
jQuery(".tree").bind("select_node.jstree", function (e, data) {
document.location = data.rslt.obj.children("a").attr("href");
});
This solution works partly for me, which means the clicked link works but in the opened window Firebug tells me that jQuery is not defined. Is it possible that on document.location the browser "forget" the library imports (as I mentioned I stay on the index.php page and just replace the content)?
and the other question is: does anyone may know a better solution for the enabling of the links in jsTree without edit the library itself ?
thanks in advance!
If your links at first look like:
<a href="index.php?content=example" ... >....</a>
And you want to load the content into a div with ID maincontent
You can do something like:
$(".tree a").each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
$this.click(function(){
$("#maincontent").load($this.href, function(){
// this callback functions fires once load is complete,
// incase you need to do post-load operations
});
return false;
});
});
This will byposs loading the new page as a normal link would, and fetch the page via AJAX and load the returned HTML into the DIV with ID maincontent.
Code is untested, but I've done this in the past so should work as is.
OK so I was using a bit of jquery to select all the <a> tags on the page and if they link to an image file to add a zoom class to it for the purposes of a lightbox.
This is the code which works
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".jpg"]').addClass('zoom');
});
There is a problem with this though;
Say I have a link which just goes to another page but passes an image url as a GET variable in the URL the lightbox is activated as a result of this and fails because the link is not actually to an image. For example:
Link text
In the above instance the jQuery script will add the zoom class to this anchor even though it doesn't actually link to a picture.
This wouldn't usually be an issue as you would leave the page to go to the link's destination before the lightbox has a chance to appear, but in times where a new tab/window is opened I get a failed lightbox coming up.
This is particularly prevalent on social media buttons such as Pinterest which passes an image url within the link.
[apologies for the title - I wasn't sure how best to phrase it. Please feel free to edit to something more suitable]
you could add the zoom class only if href attribute doesn't contain a ? (or, in other words, a querystring is not included), e.g.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".jpg"]').each(function() {
if (this.href.indexOf('?') < 0) {
$(this).addClass('zoom');
}
});
});
You can parse the href with a simple regex to check that the image is not in the query string, and filter out the false positives.
$(document).ready(function () {
$imgLinks = $('a[href$=".png"], a[href$=".gif"], a[href$=".jpg"]');
$imgLinks.filter(function() {
return !$(this)
.attr('href')
.match(/^http\:\/\/.*\?.*http\:\/\/.*\.(png|gif|jpg)$/);
})
.addClass('zoom');
});
Okay how can i add function to injected elements(which that element dosent exist on first browser load). Please read through my example carefully , i hope you can understand.
For example:
i go to www.website.com , when it loads it loads up "functions.js" and "other.js" , inside "functions.js" there's a code that injects a new div with ID when user click on a button.
The injection code as shown below:(functions.js --jquery)
$('a#button').click(function(){
$('a#button').after('<div id="new">New div<br>Another link</div>');
});
However there's another on click functions loaded in another js file which is "other.js" (loaded same time as function.js load).
Inside "other.js" has the code for the onclick function when the new div's link (#newdivlink) is clicked.
other.js :
$('a#newdivlink').click(function(){
alert('you clicked on new div's link yay?');
});
But the problem is , the onclick function for the new div's link(#newdivlink) cant be executed as the script can't find the div (as it is being injected after i loads).
Or is there some problems ?
P/S if you are asking why not combine both scripts , i don't want, as i want to try this technique out.
Try using 'live' instead of click:
$('a#newdivlink').live('click', function(){
use live() for jQuery version < 1.7 or on() for version >= 1.7
What you probably need is jQuery.live.
$('a#newdivlink').live("click", function(){
alert('you clicked on new div's link yay?');
});
I have already searched SO for similar questions, and none of the methods worked for me.
I have a shadowbox which opens on the click of an as so:
Open
This works fine and my forms work best with this method (ie I can close my forms easily using
window.parent.Shadowbox.close();
Problem.. I have a page which ajax's in data, and I wanted to load a shadowbox for these "future" elements, I thought of doing this by using the jquery delegate function.
// Open our form manually
$('body').delegate("#video-form-edit", "click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var url = $(this).attr('href'); // Our URL
Shadowbox.open({
content: url,
player: "iframe",
height: 400,
width: 510
});
});
// If I want to close ^ this ^ shadowbox, how do i do it?
// window.parent.Shadowbox.close(); // Doesnt work
The problem is that I can't close the form that is opened using the delegate method using the above "externally" loaded shadow box,
Is their a better way of doing this? How do I close a shadowbox loaded using the delegate methods.
EDIT
I keep getting error Cannot call method 'close' of undefined.
EDIT 2
Right well, since no answer, I've found I can use:
parent.window.location = parent.window.location.href;
To redirect to the parent window, Although this is not what Im looking for, it could be a solution for someone.
Duh.. I can't believe no one got it!, 18 Hours later..
I needed to Change the ID to a class
Change $('body').delegate("#video-form-edit", "click", function(e){
To ----->$('body').delegate(".video-form-edit", "click", function(e){
And also in my ahref.
Now everything works as normal in all my shadowbox, for all elements now or future.
