Disappearing TabPanel card on setActiveItem? - javascript

EDIT
I have a viewport that extends a TabPanel. In it, I set one of the tabBar buttons to load another TabPanel called subTabPanel. myApp.views.viewport.setActiveItem(index, options) works just fine. But myApp.views.subTabPanel.setActiveItem(index, options) only loads the appropriate panel card for a split second before it vanishes.
Strangely, it works just fine to make this call from within the subTabPanel's list item:
this.ownerCt.setActiveItem(index, options)
However, I want to avoid this, as I want such actions to live inside controllers so as to adhere to MVC.
Any thoughts on why the card disappears when called from the controller, but not when called from the containing subTabPanel?
(The subTabPanel card in question is an extension of Ext.Carousel.)
UPDATE
It looks like both subTabPanel and its carousel are being instantiated twice somehow, so that could be a big part of the problem...

The answer in this case was to prevent the duplicate creation of the subTabPanel and its carousel.
The viewport now looks like this:
myApp.views.Viewport = Ext.extend(Ext.TabPanel, {
fullscreen: true,
layout: 'card',
cardSwitchAnimation: 'slide',
listeners: {
beforecardswitch: function(cnt, newCard, oldCard, index, animated) {
//alert('switching cards...');
}
},
tabBar: {
ui: 'blue',
dock: 'bottom',
layout: { pack: 'center' }
},
items: [],
initComponent: function() {
//put instances of cards into myApp.views namespace
Ext.apply(myApp.views, {
subTabPanel: new myApp.views.SubTabPanel(),
tab2: new myApp.views.Tab2(),
tab3: new myApp.views.Tab3(),
});
//put instances of cards into viewport
Ext.apply(this, {
items: [
myApp.views.productList,
myApp.views.tab2,
myApp.views.tab3
]
});
myApp.views.Viewport.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
}
});
And I've since removed the duplicate creation of those TabPanel items from the items: property and moved their tabBar-specific properties into the view classes SubTabPanel, Tab2 and Tab3 (each of which are extensions of either Ext.TabPanel or Ext.Panel).

Difference between Apply {} and Apply {items:...}?

I have been using Ext.Apply in my InitComponent like so
Ext.apply(that, {
xtype: 'form',
items: [.....
But i noticed there was a blue background left behind on my window where the xtype is used, basically using the following fixes the issue. I suppose I am asking what the difference between the two is ?
Ext.apply(that, {
items: {
xtype: 'form',
items: [
If you notice that the first one I am just applying xtypes directly on the Apply and the 2nd one (that fixes the issue) I am including the array items.
Which one should i be using?
With the first apply you are applying the form onto 'that' itself, with the second apply you are applying the form on the items array. But to make it more confusing you should use applyIf to ensure you are not overriding existing items in the array.
initComponent: function () {
var me = this;
Ext.applyIf(me, {
items: {
xtype: 'form',
items: [
...
]
}
});
me.callParent(arguments);
}

Sencha Touch 2.3.1 - onTap() record parameter returns empty object

I have a simple Sencha App that has a main view. The view extends the Ext.navigation.View so that I can "push" to a new view when the user selects an item in the list. This happens by setting up a listener and then calling the push function on the MainView object.
However, I'm having problems getting the data across to that view. I tried using the answer from this StackOverflow question, but it didn't work.
In that answer it suggests that you use the record parameter of the itemTap() function, but this returns as an empty object.
Why does record return as an empty object?
Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way?
In my case, I have a list of "brands", each with a title, image and description. I'd like to use that in the panel that slides in.
The launch function of my app which creates the view and ads to the viewport
launch: function() {
// Destroy the #appLoadingIndicator element
Ext.fly('appLoadingIndicator').destroy();
// Create instance of the main view so we can use it's functions
SenchaTest.MainView = Ext.create('SenchaTest.view.Main');
// Initialize the main view
Ext.Viewport.add(SenchaTest.MainView);
},
Here is my view
Ext.define('SenchaTest.view.Main', {
extend: 'Ext.navigation.View',
xtype: 'main',
requires: [
'Ext.TitleBar',
'Ext.Video',
'Ext.carousel.Carousel',
'Ext.Img'
],
config: {
fullscreen: true,
items: [
{
title: 'Test',
layout: {
type: 'vbox',
align: 'stretch'
},
items: [{
xtype: 'highlightscarousel',
flex: 0.35
}, {
xtype: 'list',
displayField: 'title',
flex: 0.65,
store: Ext.create('SenchaTest.store.Brands'),
itemTpl: '<img src="{image}" class="listThumb"><h1 class="listTitle">{name}</h1><span class="clearFloat"></span>',
listeners: {
itemtap: function(nestedList, list, index, element, post, record) {
}
}
}]
}
]
}
});
Based on the Sencha Touch docs, the signature of the itemtap listener is:
(this, index, target, record, e, eOpts)
you're using:
(nestedList, list, index, element, post, record)
so that might be why the record is an empty object. If that's not the case, could you post a JSFiddle or some kind of working example of the problem?

Smart file component(html5smartfile) not working

I have been working on developing a custom extjs console to enable author drop an asset using html5smartfile component. But somehow, the html5smartfile component is not working the way it should. The Area where an author can drop an asset is not displaying. The same is working fine if I am creating a CQ5 dialog. But in my case where i have created a window it's not working.
I have declared my smartfile component like this:
var assetLinkDropField = {
xtype: 'html5smartfile',
fieldLabel: 'Asset Link',
ddAccept: 'video/.*',
ddGroups: 'media',
fileReferenceParameter: './linkUrl',
name: './linkUrl',
allowUpload: false,
allowFileNameEditing: false,
allowFileReference: true,
transferFileName: false
};
But this is rendering like this:
After a lot of work, I found out that the CQ5 dialog updates the view for the component but in case of my window, I have to update it myself. Thus, with a slight manipulation, i just succeeded in displaying the drag area by tweaking the declaration like this:
var assetLinkDropField = {
xtype: 'html5smartfile',
fieldLabel: 'Asset Link',
ddAccept: 'video/.*',
ddGroups: 'media',
fileReferenceParameter: './linkUrl',
name: './linkUrl',
allowUpload: false,
allowFileNameEditing: false,
allowFileReference: true,
transferFileName: false,
listeners: {
afterlayout: function () {
this.updateView();
}
}
}
So now the panel looks like:
But still the Drag and Drop is not working. My Window declaration is like this:
win = new CQ.Ext.Window({
height : 750,
width : 700,
layout : 'anchor',
// animateTarget : btn.el,
closeAction : 'close', // Prevent destruction on Close
id : 'manageLinkWindow',
title : '<b>Multi Link Widget Dialog</b>',
frame : true,
draggable : false,
modal : false, //Mask entire page
constrain : true,
buttonAlign : 'center',
items : [assetLinkDropField]
});
}
I think you should not use
ddAccept: 'video/.*',
This allows only videos from the content finder to be dragged and dropped. It should be "image/".
Verify your other extjs properties / configs for html5smartfile if the above doesn't resolves your problem.

Backbone.js router/views logic

I am writing my first Backbone.js application and I am having some trouble figuring out the best way to program it. I have 2 main views:
Shows an index of all my models.
Shows a specific model for editing.
But #2 has many different 'modules' like I can edit the 'news' section, or 'about' section etc...
All these modules are in a navigation bar.
That navigation bar is hidden when I am displaying view # 1 (index of all models). It is visible in view # 2(a specific model) in order to navigate between different modules.
I have routes setup like this:
routes: {
'', 'index',
'communities': 'index',
'communities/:id': 'main',
'communities/:id/news', 'news',
'communities/:id/about', 'about'
},
So my question is, when 'news' or 'about' action is called, do I add a navigation bar in each method? Isn't that redundant? I am going to have like 8-10 different modules, add navigation bar each time seems very repetitive. Is there a better way?
The only time I want the navigation bar to be hidden is when showing index.
I came across this same problem when I created my first somewhat complex Backbone app. Along with your concern of redundant code, I was concerned about events bound to my navbar that may not get unbound as the navigation bar changed. To solve the problem, I wound up creating a view hierarchy, with one manager view managing the navigation bar a whole, and separate views for each type of navigation menu I wanted to display, which would be passed to the manager view to render to the page.
Here's an example of my implementation.
Before we start, here is a close function I added to Backbone's View prototype which unbinds events and removes the view
Backbone.View.prototype.close = function() {
if(this.beforeClose) { this.beforeClose(); }
this.remove();
this.unbind();
}
First, here is my Manager View. Its render function closes whatever menu is currently displayed and replaces it with the one passed to it as view. While slightly redundant, I created an explicit empty function to make my router code easier to understand.
var App.Views.SubNavBar = Backbone.View.extend({
currentView: null,
el: '#subnav-wrap',
render: function(view) {
if(this.currentView) { this.currentView.close(); }
this.currentView = view;
this.$el.html(view.el);
},
empty: function() {
if(this.currentView) { this.currentView.close(); }
this.currentView = null;
}
});
Second, here is a base view that all of my specific navigation menu views extend. Since they will all have the same tagName, className, id, and initialize and render functions, this keeps repetition to a minimum
var App.Views.SubNavBase = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'ul',
className: 'nav nav-pills',
id: 'subnav',
template: _.template($('#tmpl-subnav').html(),
initialize: function() {
if(this.setLinks) { this.setLinks(); }
this.render();
},
render: function() {
this.$el.html(this.template({links:this.links}));
return this;
}
});
Here is an example of a view for a specific navigation menu. You can see that all I need to do is define the links I want to appear in the menu. When I instantiate this view, the functions of SubNavBase will handle populating the view with the required HTML. Note that I also have some events attached to this view.
var App.Views.Projects.DisplayNav = App.Views.SubNavBase.extend({
setLinks: function() {
this.links = {
'Edit Project': {
icon: 'edit',
class: 'menu-edit',
href: '#projects/'+this.model.get('id')+'/edit'
},
'Add Group': {
icon: 'plus',
class: 'menu-add-group',
href: '#projects/'+this.model.get('id')+'/groups/new'
},
'Delete Project': {
icon: 'trash',
class: 'menu-delete',
href: '#'
}
}
},
events: {
'click a.menu-delete' : 'delete'
},
delete: function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// here goes my code to delete a project model
}
});
Now, here is the underscore.js template I use to turn the links object above into a list of <li> elements. Note that I use <# instead of <% for my templates since this is a rails app and rails already uses <%
<script type="text/template" id="tmpl-subnav">
<# _.each(links,function(link, title) { #>
<li>
<a href="<#= link.href #>" class="<#= link.class #>">
<i class="icon-<#= link.icon #>"></i>
<#= link.title #>
</a>
</li>
<# }); #>
</script>
Finally, to put it all together, here is an example Router function that creates and renders the nav menu. The steps that occur are as follows:
App.Views.Projects.DisplayNav gets passed a model and populates its this.el with the corresponding HTML, as determined by the underscore.js template
App.SubNavBar has its render function called with the new menu view
App.SubNavBar checks to see if there is currently another menu in the navigation bar; if so, it calls its view's close() function
App.SubNavBar finally appends the passed view's HTML to itself, maintaining a reference to the view for later use
I've included only the relevant parts of the router code
var App.Routers.Projects = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
'projects/:id' : 'display'
},
display: function(id) {
var p = projects.get(id);
var subnav = new App.Views.Projects.DisplayNav({model:p})
App.SubNavManager.render(subnav); // App.SubNavManager is an instance of App.Views.SubNavBar
}
});
The benefit to all of this is that I can now attach events to my menu-specific views, and the manager view will take care of unbinding them if the user navigates to different content and the menu changes.
Of course, there are many other patterns you can use to handle navigation menus, but hopefully this will help you on the path.
Try this:
routes: {
'', 'index',
'communities': 'index',
'communities/:id': 'main',
'communities/:id/:section': 'openSection'
},
openSection : function(id, section){
if( section ){
this.addNavigationBar();
}
switch( section ){
case 'news' :
this.news();
break;
case 'about' :
this.about();
break;
default:
this.main();
}
}
If your url contents a section you will add the navigation bar and then call you normal method as you have.

Ext.MessageBox under TabPanel

I got problem like this:
There is TabPanel with two tab. First is FormPanel, second is GridPanel.
And I've added listener to beforetabchange. When values in FormPanel are changed there should appear Ext.MessageBox.cofirm with question: 'Do you want save your changes?'.
And it's appear but under TabPanel.
It doesn't work with any type of message box.
This is little bit weird because, when I click on submit button in this form, there is wait message box and after changes are saved there is information box.
Any ideas?
edited
I've removed all config sets from tabPanel and formPanel which is first tab, so everything is default. Message box looks like that (right now):
Ext.MessageBox.confirm('Title','message',Ext.emptyFn);
I think the problem is that the message box is binded somehow to gridPanel which is under the tabPanel.
I've added plugin to tabPanel and on beforetabchange event I show this confirm message.
Funny thing is that I do exactly the same code in plugin which is added to submit button in formPanel and there everything works perfect.

There is also gridPanel under this tabPanel.
And this message box in buttons plugin works fine (tab panel becomes grey and message box appears on top), but the second one, in tabpanels plugin, add another mask on grid and shows under the panel and above the grid.

That's complete code where problem occurs.
Message box in window show event is displayed ok, but in tabPanel it's under the window.
I'm working on FF 4.0.1, but problem occurs also in IE 8 and Chrome 12.
I'm using Ext JS 3.3.1.
solution
z-index of windows must be decreased (ie. to 7000, default is 9000).
To do that I'm using Ext.WindowGroup.
windows = new Ext.WindowGroup();
windows.zseed = 7000;
//and in config properties in window:
manager:windows
Thank's everyone for help.
"I think the problem is that the message box is binded somehow to gridPanel which is under the tabPanel."
MessageBox isn't bound to an existing panel, its a singleton and is basically a shortcut to creating a window rendered to the body, as per source code:
http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-3.3.1/docs/source/MessageBox.html#cls-Ext.MessageBox
Kevin is on to something with the z-index being a likely culprit, as I've fixed issues in the past with the Ext.Notifications ux having a lower z-index than the main content.
Try running your messagebox call from the console and see if it appears. That will help determine if your wait messagebox is closing out the confirm messagebox (note the mention of it being a singleton above) or something odd where you're not seeing some other javascript error thats causing your code to not be run. Then, if you don't see the messagebox when run from the console, try the isVisible() api call to see if it thinks its being displayed (which will likely narrow it down to a css issue).
Ext MessageBox doesn't block your code until the user does something the way an alert() does. As a result, it's going to pop up the message box, and then proceed to render the new tab that the user just clicked on. Perhaps when the new tab renders, the Ext window manager is putting that window on top, since it rendered most recently?
You could try using setTimeout to display the message box after a short delay. That will give the new tab a chance to be on top, and then the message box renders, hopefully on top of everything, since it was the most recent.
setTimeout will work, there was same issue like
page- button -
on click - window with grid -
click on grid item->there should be a message box on top,
but it was under the window,
then i tried
click on grid item-
setTimeOut(function(){ Ext.MessageBox.alert('MessageBoxTitle', 'Confirm message.')}, 200);
I have used following method. It is working for me.
beforetabchange: function(tabpanel, newTab, oldTab){
if (!tabpanel.allowAction){
Ext.Msg.confirm('Confirm', 'Your Message',function(btn) {
if (btn == 'yes') {
/* logic*/
tabpanel.allowAction = true;
this.setActiveTab(newTab.id);
}else{ /* logic */}
});
return false;
}
delete tabpanel.allowAction;
}
Ext.create('Ext.window.MessageBox', {
alwaysOnTop: true,
closeAction: 'destroy'
}).show({
title: 'Title',
buttons: Ext.Msg.OK,
message: 'Message'
});
This should make the MessageBox appear on top.
Look at the fourth example in this page.
