Update and Remove a Single event of the calendar - fullcalendar

I need to edit/remove a single event of the callendar, but with my current code, the update/remove afects all events inside the calendar.
Update Attempt:
$('#btn').click(function(){
var evento = $('#calendario').fullCalendar('clientEvents', function(event){
return event.className == 8;
});
evento[0].backgroundColor = "red";
$('#calendario').fullCalendar('updateEvent', evento[0]);
});
It changes the background color of all events. Also, it changes the events title, all to the same (The one with that ClassName).
Remove Attempt:
$('#btn').click(function(){
$('#calendario').fullCalendar('removeEvents', function(event){
return event.className = 8;
});
});
Also, this method removes ALL events.
How may I target a single event ?
UPDATE
Just found the problem:
Even if I target only that specific event with that specific className, this method updateEvent, will update ALL EVENTS THAT SHARE THE SAME ID. Why?
I don't think it's supposed to happen.

You are right in that you should be able to target events using a filter.
When you attempt to remove the event you are using the assignment operator rather than the equals operator. By changing that, your filter should then return true for removing the event with that class.
The following code worked for adding a class to one event and then removing the event using the class.
eventRender: function (event, element) {
if (event.id === 628) {
event.className = "Test";
}
},
eventClick: function (event, jsEvent, view) {
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('removeEvents', function (event) {
return event.className === "Test";
});
}

Removing a window event listener in Template.onDestroyed

I have two templates that each contain a Vimeo iframe player. I'm using FlowRouter to render the templates through {{> Template.dynamic template=main}} on the main layout.
In both templates I add listeners for video events in onCreated
Template.view.onCreated( function() {
var self = this;
if (window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
viewMessageReceived(event, self)}, false);
} else {
window.attachEvent('onmessage', function(event){
viewMessageReceived(event, self)}, false);
}
});
and destroy them in onDestroyed
Template.view.onDestroyed( function() {
if (window.removeEventListener) {
console.log('view remove');
window.removeEventListener('message', function(event) {
viewMessageReceived(event, self)}, false);
} else {
window.detachEvent('onmessage', function(event){
viewMessageReceived(event, self)}, false);
}
});
And here is the function being called by the anonymous event handler:
function viewMessageReceived(event, self) {
// Handle messages from the vimeo player only
if (!(/^https?:\/\/player.vimeo.com/).test(event.origin)) {
return false;
}
if (self.playerOrigin === '*') {
self.playerOrigin = event.origin;
}
var data = JSON.parse(event.data);
switch (data.event) {
case "ready":
initializePlayer(self);
break;
case "playProgress":
self.playerTime.set(data.data.seconds);
if (self.duration === '*') self.duration = data.data.duration;
break;
case "play":
self.playerStatus.set("playing");
break;
case "pause":
self.playerStatus.set("paused");
break;
}
}
When I switch to a different template, onDestroyed runs and my console.log('view remove') fires, as expected.
But then when I navigate to the page that loads the other template with a video player, a Vimeo "playProgress" message arrives that is received by the event handler in the previous video template, which was supposed to have been removed a while ago. This throws an error because the previous template has been destroyed.
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'contentWindow' of undefined
which comes from the last line in this function:
function post(template, action, value) {
console.log('view action: %s value: %s', action, value);
var data = {method: action};
if (value) data.value = value;
var message = JSON.stringify(data);
template.player[0].contentWindow.postMessage(message, template.playerOrigin);
}
Each of the video-containing templates have their own .js file, so they each have a their own post function declaration. My understanding is that defining a function that way scopes the function just to the page.
It's only one message that arrives for the wrong player. After that, they arrive for the currently loaded player.
Why does the Vimeo message event arrive or get handled after I've already destroyed the template and when I've moved to another player?
A quote from the W3Schools website regarding the removeEventListener() method:
// Attach an event handler to <div>
document.getElementById("myDIV").addEventListener("mousemove", myFunction);
// Remove the event handler from <div>
document.getElementById("myDIV").removeEventListener("mousemove", myFunction);
Note: To remove event handlers, the function specified with the
addEventListener() method must be an external function, like in the
example above (myFunction).
Anonymous functions, like "element.removeEventListener("event",
function(){ myScript });" will not work.
For this to work, you'll need to move your function definition somewhere outside of the onRendered and onDestroyed events, and just pass the function name in the add/remove event listeners.

How to implement editable text in Meteor and DRY?

I have come up with a methodology for making editable text in my Meteor app. However, it does not follow the DRY paradigm and I'd like to change that but I am not too good with Javascript yet...
Suppose I have a table cell with some text and I'd like to double click it to edit it. I created a template variable to handle this:
<td class="itemName">
{{#unless editItemName}}
{{name}}
{{else}}
<input class="editItemName" type="text" value="{{name}}" style="width:100px;">
{{/unless}}
</td>
I then create an event to execute this transition on a double-click:
Template.inventoryItemDetail.events = {
'dblclick td.itemName': function (evt) {
Session.set("editItemName",true);
},
'blur input.editItemName': function () {
Session.set("editItemName",null);
},};
I also reused the ok_cancel code from the ToDo's example app (but that's sort of irrelevant):
// Returns an event_map key for attaching "ok/cancel" events to
// a text input (given by selector)
var okcancel_events = function (selector) {
return 'keyup '+selector+', keydown '+selector+', focusout '+selector;
};
// Creates an event handler for interpreting "escape", "return", and "blur"
// on a text field and calling "ok" or "cancel" callbacks.
var make_okcancel_handler = function (options) {
var ok = options.ok || function () {};
var cancel = options.cancel || function () {};
return function (evt) {
if (evt.type === "keydown" && evt.which === 27) {
// escape = cancel
cancel.call(this, evt);
evt.currentTarget.blur();
} else if (evt.type === "keyup" && evt.which === 13) {
// blur/return/enter = ok/submit if non-empty
var value = String(evt.target.value || "");
if (value) {
ok.call(this, value, evt);
evt.currentTarget.blur();
}
else {
cancel.call(this, evt);
evt.currentTarget.blur();
}
}
};
};
Template.inventoryItemDetail.events[ okcancel_events('input.editItemName') ] = make_okcancel_handler({
ok: function (value) {
Items.update(this._id, {$set: {name: value}});
}
});
Finally, I have to tie this Session variable to the template variable:
Template.inventoryItemDetail.editItemName = function () {
return Session.get("editItemName");
};
So right now, I have repeated all of this again and again for each editable text field and it all works, but it seems like terribly programming practice. I have found various editable text utilities on Github but I don't entirely understand them and none of them are for Meteor!
I'd really like to expand my knowledge of Meteor and Javascript by creating a tool that allows me to have editable text without repeating myself this ridiculous amount for each editable text field.
Thanks,
Chet

I just implemented this in my project and I won't ever go back to contenteditable.

Backbone Collection.fetch() returns first item null

I'm using the following code in my view to fetch my collection from the server:
initialize: function () {
_this = this;
this.collection.fetch({
success : function(collection, response) {
_.each(response, function(i){
var todo = new TodosModel({
id: i.id,
content: i.content,
completed: i.completed
});
// Add to collection
_this.collection.add(todo);
// Render
_this.render(todo);
});
},
error : function(collection, response) {
console.log('ERROR GETTING COLLECTION!');
}
});
},
Which seems to work - here's the output from my server:
{
"0": {
"id": 1,
"content": "one",
"completed": false
},
"3": {
"id": 4,
"content": "two",
"completed": true
},
"4": {
"id": 5,
"content": "tester",
"completed": false
}
}
Except for the fact that if I log out my collection there is a null entry in the first position:
Which then causes issues as if I add an item it takes the ID of the last element. I'm new to backbone and am hoping I'm just missing something simple.
Here's my crack at a quick run through of your code. I haven't tested anything so there might be typos. I'm still not sure where the stray empty model is coming from but if you restructure your application as outlined below, I suspect the problem will go away.
The model and collection look okay so let us have a look at your view.
el: $('#todos'),
listBlock: $('#todos-list'),
newTodoField: $('#add input'),
//...
template: $('#todo-template').html(),
//...
events: { /* ... */ },
These should be okay but you need to ensure that all those elements are in the DOM when your view "class" is loaded. Usually you'd compile the template once:
template: _.template($('#todo-template').html()),
and then just use this.template as a function to get your HTML. I'll assume that template is a compiled template function below.
initialize: function () {
_this = this;
You have an accidental global variable here, this can cause interesting bugs. You want to say var _this = this;.
this.el = $(this.el);
Backbone already gives you a jQuery'd version of el in $el so you don't need to do this, just use this.$el.
this.collection.fetch({
success : function(collection, response) {
_.each(response, function(i) {
var todo = new TodosModel({ /* ... */ });
// Add to collection
_this.collection.add(todo);
// Render
_this.render(todo);
});
},
//...
The collection's fetch will add the models to the collection before the success handler is called so you don't have to create new models or add anything to the collection. Generally the render method renders the whole thing rather than rendering just one piece and you bind the view's render to the collection's "reset" event; the fetch call will trigger a "reset" event when it has fetched so the usual pattern looks like this:
initialize: function() {
// So we don't have to worry about the context. Do this before you
// use `render` or you'll have reference problems.
_.bindAll(this, 'render');
// Trigger a call to render when the collection has some stuff.
this.collection.on('reset', this.render);
// And go get the stuff we want. You can put your `error` callback in
// here if you want it, wanting it is a good idea.
this.collection.fetch();
}
Now for render:
render: function (todo) {
var templ = _.template(this.template);
this.listBlock.append(templ({
id: todo.get('id'),
content: todo.get('content'),
completed: todo.get('completed')
}));
// Mark completed
if(todo.get('completed')) {
this.listBlock.children('li[data-id="'+todo.get('id')+'"]')
.addClass('todo-completed');
}
}
Normally this would be split into two pieces:
render to render the whole collection.
Another method, say renderOne, to render a single model. This also allows you to bind renderOne to the collection's "add" event.
So something like this would be typical:
render: function() {
// Clear it out so that we can start with a clean slate. This may or
// may not be what you want depending on the structure of your HTML.
// You might want `this.listBlock.empty()` instead.
this.$el.empty();
// Punt to `renderOne` for each item. You can use the second argument
// to get the right `this` or add `renderOne` to the `_.bindAll` list
// up in `initialize`.
this.collection.each(this.renderOne, this);
},
renderOne: function(todo) {
this.listBlock.append(
this.template({
todo: todo.toJSON()
})
)
// Mark completed
if(todo.get('completed')) {
this.listBlock.find('li[data-id="' + todo.id + '"]')
.addClass('todo-completed');
}
}
Notice the use of toJSON to supply data to the template. Backbone models and collections have a toJSON method to give you a simplified version of the data so you might as well use it. The model's id is available as an attribute so you don't have to use get to get it. You could (and probably should) push the todo-completed logic into the template, just a little
<% if(completed) { %>class="completed"<% } %>
in the right place should do the trick.
addTodo: function (e) {
//...
var todo = new TodosModel({
id: todoID,
content: todoContent,
completed: todoCompleted
});
this.render(todo);
todo.save();
_this.collection.add(todo);
You could bind renderOne to the collection's "add" event to take care of rendering the new model. Then use the save callbacks to finish it off:
var _this = this;
var todo = new TodosModel({ /* ... */ });
todo.save({}, {
wait: true,
success: function(model, response) {
// Let the events deal with rendering...
_this.collection.add(model);
}
});
Again, an error callback on the save might be nice.
completeTodo: function (e) {
//...
todo.save({
completed: todoCompleted
});
}
The save call here will trigger a 'change:completed' event so you could bind to that to adjust the HTML.
removeTodo: function (e) {
//...
}
The destroy call will trigger a "destroy" event on the model and on the collection:
Any event that is triggered on a model in a collection will also
be triggered on the collection directly, for convenience. This
allows you to listen for changes to specific attributes in any model
in a collection, [...]
So you could listen for "destroy" events on the collection and use those to remove the TODO from the display. And destroying the model should remove it from the collection without your intervention.
printColl: function () {
this.collection.each(function (todo) {
console.log('ID: '+todo.get('id')+' | CONTENT: '+todo.get('content')+' | COMPLETED: '+todo.get('completed'));
});
}
You could just console.log(this.collection.toJSON()) instead,
you'd have to click around a little to open up the stuff in the
console but you wouldn't miss anything that way.
All the event binding for the collection would take place in your
view's initialize method. If you're going to remove the view then
you'd want to override the remove to unbind from the collection
to prevent memory leaks:
remove: function() {
// Call this.collection.off(...) to undo all the bindings from
// `initialize`.
//...
// Then do what the default `remove` does.
this.$el.remove()
}
You could also use a separate view for each TODO item but that might be overkill for something simple.

jqueryui dialog event: how to attach an even only once

JqueryUI:
The code below fires an alert every time the box is closed, but how can I make it so it only does this for once and not every time.
$("#box").dialog({
close: function () {
alert(999);
}
});
This was how I did it before using jQueryUi:
$("#box").one("click", function () {
alert(999);
return false
});
According to the docs, the .close() method also has a corresponding event: dialogclose. So you should be able to do this:
$("#box").one("dialogclose",function() {
alert(999);
});

jquery disable a button for a specific time

i want to disable a button for a specific time. how can i do that?
Since this is likely to be a task you might like to repeat, I think the best way to do this would be to extend jQuery like so:
$.fn.timedDisable = function(time) {
if (time == null) { time = 5000; }
return $(this).each(function() {
$(this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
var disabledElem = $(this);
setTimeout(function() {
disabledElem.removeAttr('disabled');
}, time);
});
};
This will allow you to call a function on a set of matched elements which will temporarily disable them. As it is written, you can simply call the function, and the selected elements will be disabled for 5 seconds. You would do that like so:
$('#some-button').timedDisable();
You can adjust the default time setting by changing the 5000 in the following line:
if (time == null) { time = 5000; }
You can optionally pass in a time value in milliseconds to control how long the elements will be disabled for. For example:
$('#some-button').timedDisable(1000);
Here's a working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/fG2ES/
Disable the button and then use setTimeout to run a function that enables the button after a few seconds.
$('#some-button').attr("disabled", "disabled");
setTimeout('enableButton()', 5000);
function enableButton(){
$('#some-button').removeAttr('disabled');
}
Try this.
(function(){
$('button').on('click',function(){
var $this=$(this);
$this
.attr('disabled','disabled');
setTimeout(function() {
$this.removeAttr('disabled');
}, 3000);
});
})();
You can find a working example here http://jsfiddle.net/informativejavascript/AMqb5/
Might not be the most elegant solution, but I thought I'd play with jQuery queues on this one...
​$.fn.disableFor = function (time) {
var el = this, qname = 'disqueue';
el.queue(qname, function () {
el.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
setTimeout( function () {
el.dequeue(qname);
}, time || 3000);
})
.queue(qname, function () {
el.removeAttr('disabled');
})
.dequeue(qname);
};
$('#btn').click( function () {
​$(this).disableFor(2000);​​​​
});
​
This is where I worked it out... http://jsfiddle.net/T9QJM/
And, for reference, How do I chain or queue custom functions using JQuery?
