Full Calendar - refetchResources - fullcalendar

I am confused on how to refetch the resources by url (json feed).
This renders my calendar resources -
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
...
resources: 'example.json?id=1',
...
});
This documentation (https://fullcalendar.io/docs/refetchResources) says "If the resources option was specified as a JSON feed it will be requested again."
So I have a button that I want to click to change the resource url and reload the resource feed -
$('.resource-button').on('click', function() {
link = $(this).attr('href');
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchResources', {
resources: link
});
});
Any idea why it doesn't reload the new resource link? The list of resources refreshes like it is doing something but the data stays the same.
Thanks

This code
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchResources', {
resources: link
});
makes no sense. As per the documentation you linked to, the "refetchResources" method does not accept any extra arguments. The { resources: link } object you supply to it is not expected, and is consequently ignored by fullCalendar. I'm not sure what gave you the idea that you could pass more arguments to this function.
The phrase you quoted:
"If the resources option was specified as a JSON feed it will be requested again."
means it will re-fetch existing resource data from the existing specified sources (hence the word "again"). I think you have misunderstood this explanation.
In other words all it does is refresh the already-specified sources. If you wish to change the list of resource dynamically, then you need to set the resources option first using the separate method to set options.
Here's an example which switches the resources from one URL to another when a button is clicked. You can of course adjust this to your needs, but the key thing to note is the use of the separate "option" method to change the Resource URL before calling "refetchResources".
HTML:
<button type="button" id="changeResources">
Click to Change Resources
</button>
<div id='calendar'></div>
JavaScript:
var resources = [
"https://api.myjson.com/bins/m7blz",
"https://api.myjson.com/bins/cqj3b"
]
var currentResourceIndex = 0;
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
resources: resources[currentResourceIndex],
schedulerLicenseKey: 'CC-Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives',
defaultView: 'timelineDay',
header : {
left: 'prev, today',
center: 'title',
right: 'next'
},
});
$("#changeResources").click(function() {
if (currentResourceIndex == 0) currentResourceIndex = 1;
else currentResourceIndex = 0;
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('option', 'resources', resources[currentResourceIndex]);
$("#calendar").fullCalendar("refetchResources");
});
});
See http://jsfiddle.net/toytd26b/57/ for a working demonstration of switching the resources using a button (as per the code above).
See https://fullcalendar.io/docs/dynamic-options for documentation of how to set calendar options after the calendar has been initialised.

$('.resource-button').on('click', function() {
link = $(this).attr('href');
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('option', 'resources', link);
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('refetchResources');
});

Microsoft Azure Media Player Start At Defined Time

I have just started familiarising the azure media player and need to achieve setting the video to a defined timeframe at load.The code I have used so far is as follows.The reference used in the application also as part of the question.
<link href="//amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/skins/amp-default/azuremediaplayer.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="//amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/azuremediaplayer.min.js"></script>
<script>
amp.options.flashSS.swf = "//amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/techs/StrobeMediaPlayback.2.0.swf"
amp.options.flashSS.plugin = "//amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/techs/MSAdaptiveStreamingPlugin-osmf2.0.swf"
amp.options.silverlightSS.xap = "//amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/techs/SmoothStreamingPlayer.xap"
</script>
#{
var ContentUrl = ViewBag.ContentUrl;
}
<video id="vd123" class="azuremediaplayer amp-default-skin amp-big-play-centered">
</video>
<script>
var myOptions = {
//"nativeControlsForTouch": false,
techOrder: ["azureHtml5JS", "flashSS", "silverlightSS", "html5"],
"nativeControlsForTouch": false,
autoplay: false,
controls: true,
width: "640",
height: "400",
poster: ""
};
var myPlayer = amp("vd123", myOptions, function () {
});
myPlayer.src([
{
src: "src",
type: "application/vnd.ms-sstr+xml"
},
]);
myPlayer.currentTime(5);
</script>
Set begin time of Azure Media Player looked at this URL but not provided full code or not feeling any difference to what I tried?
As mentioned in the linked thread there are two ways to achieve this depending on your specific scenario. If you want to start at a specific time because there is a preroll slate (or like content that you don't care for your user to see), you should use the dynamic manifests in Azure Media Services. This is the recommended method and is generally the main scenario.
Also, as mentioned in the linked thread, if you wish to have done specifically in the player (so that means the content is actually viewable but just want to start at a specific time), you should listen for the play or playing event and set the currentTime after that point.
A simple way to do this is directly after setting the source of Azure Media Player:
myPlayer.addEventListener(amp.eventName.play, startTime);
function startTime() {
myPlayer.currentTime(5);
myPlayer.removeEventListener(amp.eventName.play, startTime)
}

grails controller/action/id automagically turning into controller/index

My problem is that the backend server (written in grails) is automatically converting my request URL to be a different URL. Specifically, it is changing it from /UXChallengeAwards/processSelectedNotifications to /UXChallengeAwards/index.
--
In a template gsp file, I have defined a button that makes a jQuery ajax call when clicked on:
<button class="blue-link"
onclick="jQuery.ajax({type:'POST',
data:jQuery(this).parents('.multiSelectForm').serialize(),
url: '/ici/UXChallengeAwards/processSelectedNotifications/${challenge.id}',
success:function(data,textStatus){},
error:function(xhr,textStatus,errorThrown){}
})" >
The method UXChallengeAwardsController.processSelectedNotifications exists. It performs some work and then redirects to another action in the controller. In fact, this used to work. But somehow in the process of adding a second button I made a change which seems to have broken things.
When the button is now clicked, the request URL gets switched to /ici/UXChallengeAwards/index and a 404 is returned because index does not exist as an action in this controller.
I've googled, and the most common answer for when this happens is that a controller must return some results for the view. But I've seen plenty of examples of redirects in controllers, and I do not see what I am doing wrong. (I did try variants of rendering results, but with no success.)
Here is what my controller action looks like:
def processSelectedNotifications = {
def challenge
def checkboxes = params.list('selectCheckbox');
for (checkbox in checkboxes) {
// the checkbox contains the id of a ChallangeAward that should be published
ChallengeAwards challengeAwards = ChallengeAwards.get(checkbox.toInteger())
if (challengeAwards) {
// grab a challenge for use in the redirect, they are all the same
challenge=challengeAwards.challenge
publish(challengeAwards)
}
}
if (challenge) {
redirect action: 'challengeAwardsRemote', id: challenge.id
return
}
// render a failure message if we got here
render messageNS(code:"UX.ChallengeAwards.Publish.failure")
}
I would really appreciate any insights into what might be wrong, or how to go about tackling this issue. I've checked my UrlMappings, and this is the rule that should handle this controller/method request:
"/$controller/$action?/$id?"{ constraints {} }
Thank you very much!
I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question, in case it is helpful for other newbies.
It turns out that I was not getting an automatic redirect. Rather, I had an error in the button setup code, so that grails was using its default link behavior. (Which is to go to the controller that matches the view, and if no action is specified, use the index method.)
The code above was originally created using a remoteSubmit tag, but I found that the generated code did not support handling multiple forms on a single page very well. So, I copied that generated code and then tweaked it to handle the multiple forms. However, I wanted the styling to match up with what was already in place on the page, so I switched it to be a button. That's when things went awry.
Eventually, I ended up specifying an onClick function for the button, and then writing the ajax submit code in javascript. Which turned out to be much simpler.
Here is what the button specification ended up looking like:
<button type="submit" id="notifications" class="blue-link" >
<i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i>
<g:messageNS
code="UX.DiscussionBoard.ChallengeAward.Button.notify" />
</button>
And the associated JavaScript:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var clkBtn = "";
jQuery('button[type="submit"]').click(function(evt) {
clkBtn = evt.target.id;
});
jQuery('.multiSelectForm').submit(function() {
var url = '/ici/UXChallengeAwards/processSelectedNotifications';
if (clkBtn == 'deletes') {
url ='/ici/UXChallengeAwards/processSelectedDeletes';
}
var errorTarget = jQuery(this).parents().find('.recipientMessage').val();
var requestData = jQuery(this).parents('.multiSelectForm').serialize();
var options = {
data : requestData,
type : 'POST',
url : url,
target : '#awardsTab',
error : function(data) {
jQuery('#' + errorTarget).html(data.responseText).show();
},
success : function(data) {
console.log("in success");
}
};
jQuery(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
return false;
});

ASP.NET Route config for Backbone Routes with PushState

I have run into an issue recently where we have been told to remove the hash symbols from our Backbone applications. This presents two problems: (a) the ASP.NET routes need to handle any remotely linked URL (currently this is no problem with the hash symbols) so that we're not hitting a 404 error and (b) the proper route needs to be preserved and passed on to the client side (Backbone) application. We're currently using ASP.NET MVC5 and Web API 2 for our backend.
The setup
For an example (and test project), I've created a test project with Backbone - a simple C# ASP.NET MVC5 Web Application. It is pretty simple (here is a copy of the index.cshtml file, please ignore what is commented out as they'll be explained next):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(event) {
Backbone.history.start({
//pushState: true,
//root: "/Home/Index/"
});
var Route = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"test/:id": function (event) {
$(".row").html("Hello, " + event);
},
"help": function () {
alert("help!");
}
}
});
var appRouter = new Route();
//appRouter.navigate("/test/sometext", { trigger: true });
//appRouter.navigate("/help", { trigger: true });
});
</script>
<div class="jumbotron">
<h3>Backbone PushState Test</h3>
</div>
<div class="row"></div>
Now, without pushState enabled I have no issue remote linking to this route, ie http://localhost/Home/Index#test/sometext
The result of which is that the div with a class of .row is now "Hello, sometext".
The problem
Enabling pushState will allow us to replace that pesky # in the URL with a /, ie: http://localhost/Home/Index/test/sometext. We can use the Backbone method of router.navigate("url", true); (as well as other methods) to use adjust the URL manually. However, this does not solve the problem of remote linking. So, when trying to access http://localhost/Home/Index/test/sample you just end up with the typical 404.0 error served by IIS. so, I assume that it is handled in in the RouteConfig.cs file - inside, I add a "CatchAll" route:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "CatchAll",
url: "{*clientRoute}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
I also uncomment out the pushState and root attributes in the Backbone.history.start(); method:
Backbone.history.start({
pushState: true,
root: "/Home/Index/"
});
var Route = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"test/:id": function (event) {
$(".row").html("Hello, " + event);
},
"help": function () {
alert("help!");
}
}
});
var appRouter = new Route();
//appRouter.navigate("/test/sometext", { trigger: true });
//appRouter.navigate("/help", { trigger: true });
This allows me to at least let get past the 404.0 page when linking to these routes - which is good. However, none of the routes actually "trigger" when I head to them. After attempting to debug them in Chrome, Firefox, and IE11 I notice that none of the events fire. However, if I manually navigate to them using appRouter.navigate("/help", { trigger: true }); the routes are caught and events fired.
I'm at a loss at this point as to where I should start troubleshooting next. I've placed my Javascript inside of the $(document).ready() event as well as the window.onload event also (as well as not inside of an event); none of these correct the issue. Can anyone offer advice on where to look next?
You simply have to move Backbone.history.start after the "new Route" line.
var Route = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"test/:id": function (event) {
$(".row").html("Hello, " + event);
},
"help": function () {
alert("help!");
}
}
});
var appRouter = new Route();
Backbone.history.start({
pushState: true,
root: "/Home/Index/"
});
Make sure you go to ".../Home/Index/help". If it doesn't work, try temporarily removing the root and go to ".../help" to see if the root is the problem.
If you still have troubles, set a js breakpoint in Backbone.History.loadUrl on the "return" line. It is called from the final line of History.start to execute the current browser url on page load. "this.matchRoot()" must pass then, "fragment" is matched against each "route" or regexp string in "this.handlers". You can see why or why not the browser url matches the route regexps.
To set to the js breakpoint, press F12 in the browser to open the dev console, press Ctrl-O or Ctrl-P to open a js file, then type the name of the backbone js file. Then search for "loadUrl:". You can also search for "Router =" to find the start of the router class definition (same as for "View =" and "Model =" to find the backbone view/model implementation code). I find it quite useful to look at the backbone code when I have a question like this. It is surprisingly readable and what better place to get answers?
If your js files happen to be minified/compressed, preferably turn this off. Alternately you can try the browser unminify option. In Chrome this is the "{}" button or "pretty print". Then the js code is not all on 1 line and you can set breakpoints. But the function and variable names may still be mangled.
I have solved my own problem using what feels to be "hackish", via the following. If anyone can submit a better response it would be appreciated!
My Solution:
I globally override the default Backbone.Router.intilaize method (it is empty) with the following:
$(document).ready(function (event) {
var _root = "/Home/Index/";
_.extend(Backbone.Router.prototype, {
initialize: function () {
/* check for route & navigate to it */
var pathName = window.location.pathname;
var route = pathName.split(_root)[1];
if (route != undefined && route != "") {
route = "/" + route;
this.navigate("", { trigger: false });
this.navigate(route, { trigger: true });
}
}
});
});

Bootboxjs: how to render a Meteor template as dialog body

I have the following template:
<template name="modalTest">
{{session "modalTestNumber"}} <button id="modalTestIncrement">Increment</button>
</template>
That session helper simply is a go-between with the Session object. I have that modalTestNumber initialized to 0.
I want this template to be rendered, with all of it's reactivity, into a bootbox modal dialog. I have the following event handler declared for this template:
Template.modalTest.events({
'click #modalTestIncrement': function(e, t) {
console.log('click');
Session.set('modalTestNumber', Session.get('modalTestNumber') + 1);
}
});
Here are all of the things I have tried, and what they result in:
bootbox.dialog({
message: Template.modalTest()
});
This renders the template, which appears more or less like 0 Increment (in a button). However, when I change the Session variable from the console, it doesn't change, and the event handler isn't called when I click the button (the console.log doesn't even happen).
message: Meteor.render(Template.modalTest())
message: Meteor.render(function() { return Template.modalTest(); })
These both do exactly the same thing as the Template call by itself.
message: new Handlebars.SafeString(Template.modalTest())
This just renders the modal body as empty. The modal still pops up though.
message: Meteor.render(new Handlebars.SafeString(Template.modalTest()))
Exactly the same as the Template and pure Meteor.render calls; the template is there, but it has no reactivity or event response.
Is it maybe that I'm using this less packaging of bootstrap rather than a standard package?
How can I get this to render in appropriately reactive Meteor style?
Hacking into Bootbox?
I just tried hacked into the bootbox.js file itself to see if I could take over. I changed things so that at the bootbox.dialog({}) layer I would simply pass the name of the Template I wanted rendered:
// in bootbox.js::exports.dialog
console.log(options.message); // I'm passing the template name now, so this yields 'modalTest'
body.find(".bootbox-body").html(Meteor.render(Template[options.message]));
body.find(".bootbox-body").html(Meteor.render(function() { return Template[options.message](); }));
These two different versions (don't worry they're two different attempts, not at the same time) these both render the template non-reactively, just like they did before.
Will hacking into bootbox make any difference?
Thanks in advance!
I am giving an answer working with the current 0.9.3.1 version of Meteor.
If you want to render a template and keep reactivity, you have to :
Render template in a parent node
Have the parent already in the DOM
So this very short function is the answer to do that :
renderTmp = function (template, data) {
var node = document.createElement("div");
document.body.appendChild(node);
UI.renderWithData(template, data, node);
return node;
};
In your case, you would do :
bootbox.dialog({
message: renderTmp(Template.modalTest)
});
Answer for Meteor 1.0+:
Use Blaze.render or Blaze.renderWithData to render the template into the bootbox dialog after the bootbox dialog has been created.
function openMyDialog(fs){ // this can be tied to an event handler in another template
<! do some stuff here, like setting the data context !>
bootbox.dialog({
title: 'This will populate with content from the "myDialog" template',
message: "<div id='dialogNode'></div>",
buttons: {
do: {
label: "ok",
className: "btn btn-primary",
callback: function() {
<! take some actions !>
}
}
}
});
Blaze.render(Template.myDialog,$("#dialogNode")[0]);
};
This assumes you have a template defined:
<template name="myDialog">
Content for my dialog box
</template>
Template.myDialog is created for every template you're using.
$("#dialogNode")[0] selects the DOM node you setup in
message: "<div id='dialogNode'></div>"
Alternatively you can leave message blank and use $(".bootbox-body") to select the parent node.
As you can imagine, this also allows you to change the message section of a bootbox dialog dynamically.
Using the latest version of Meteor, here is a simple way to render a doc into a bootbox
let box = bootbox.dialog({title:'',message:''});
box.find('.bootbox-body').remove();
Blaze.renderWithData(template,MyCollection.findOne({_id}),box.find(".modal-body")[0]);
If you want the dialog to be reactive use
let box = bootbox.dialog({title:'',message:''});
box.find('.bootbox-body').remove();
Blaze.renderWithData(template,function() {return MyCollection.findOne({_id})},box.find(".modal-body")[0]);
In order to render Meteor templates programmatically while retaining their reactivity you'll want to use Meteor.render(). They address this issue in their docs under templates.
So for your handlers, etc. to work you'd use:
bootbox.dialog({
message: Meteor.render(function() { return Template.modalTest(); })
});
This was a major gotcha for me too!
I see that you were really close with the Meteor.render()'s. Let me know if it still doesn't work.
This works for Meteor 1.1.0.2
Assuming we have a template called changePassword that has two fields named oldPassword and newPassword, here's some code to pop up a dialog box using the template and then get the results.
bootbox.dialog({
title: 'Change Password',
message: '<span/>', // Message can't be empty, but we're going to replace the contents
buttons: {
success: {
label: 'Change',
className: 'btn-primary',
callback: function(event) {
var oldPassword = this.find('input[name=oldPassword]').val();
var newPassword = this.find('input[name=newPassword]').val();
console.log("Change password from " + oldPassword + " to " + newPassword);
return false; // Close the dialog
}
},
'Cancel': {
className: 'btn-default'
}
}
});
// .bootbox-body is the parent of the span, so we can replace the contents
// with our template
// Using UI.renderWithData means we can pass data in to the template too.
UI.insert(UI.renderWithData(Template.changePassword, {
name: "Harry"
}), $('.bootbox-body')[0]);

deep linking to embedded iframe content in wordpress

Is there a WordPress plugin that will enable deep linking to an embedded iframe? I'd like to be able, for example, to tweet a URL to a post that has extra information that will be passed down to the iframe.
An example would be an iframe that plays a video. The extra information in this case might be the time offset to start playing the video.
The extra info could be passed as query params, fragments, or some other way.
Probably not via a WordPress plugin, unless you are looking to develop a custom plugin.
It is best to avoid iframes whenever you can for these reasons.
That said, the solution is pretty simple using the window.postMessage method and works in most browsers, including IE8 and up.
Notes:
All messages should be sent as strings to avoid a nasty bug in IE8/9. If you want to pass an object, pass it in JSON format.
You can't JSON.serialize() the window.location object in IE8. If you are trying to pass that object, you have to copy the properties one by one.
IE only supports el.contentWindow.postMessage(), not el.postMessage().
Outer page
window.onload = function()
{
var child = document.getElementById('deep_link_frame');
var msg = {
"location" : {
"hash" : window.location.hash,
"host" : window.location.host,
"hostname" : window.location.hostname,
"href" : window.location.href,
"origin" : window.location.origin,
"pathname" : window.location.pathname,
"port" : window.location.port,
"protocol" : window.location.protocol,
"search" : window.location.search
}
};
child.contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify(msg), '*');
};
Inner page
function bindEvent(el, eventName, eventHandler)
{
if (el.addEventListener)
{
el.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);
}
else
{
el.attachEvent('on' + eventName, eventHandler);
}
}
bindEvent(window, 'message', function(e)
{
if (e.origin === "http://your-domain.com")
{
var message = JSON.parse(e.data);
alert(message.location.href);
}
});
