angular calendar directive not rendering in jquery tabs - fullcalendar

Yet another question about the angular calendar directive. I need to display multiple calendars on one page and am using the jquery tabs widget. However, only one calendar will render properly. In normal jquery fullCalendar, you use the 'render' method to ensure that the calendar shows when the tab is selected. However, this doesn't seem to be working with the angular-ui calendar directive.
Here is a plunker showing what I mean. Delete the $().tabs() and the three angular calendars display just fine. Wrap them in tabs, and it no longer works:

Any ideas on why this is not working and how to fix it?
Thanks!
PS. I will cross-post this question in Google Groups. Thanks.

It appears that despite the fullCalendar documentation, "show" is not the place to trigger a fullcalendar('render'). I should say, at least not when working with Angular. I don't know if that is correct under normal jQuery usage. Use the "Activate" event instead:
$("#tabs").tabs({
activate: function(){
("#calendar").fullCalendar('render');
}
});

Use timeout while rendering.
<tab heading="{{tabs[0].title}}" active="tabs[0].active" select="renderCalendar()" disabled="tabs[0].disabled">
$scope.renderCalendar = function() {
$timeout(function(){
$('.calendar').fullCalendar('render');
}, 0);
};

Unable to trigger modal-dialog show in Meteor template

I have a modal dialog in my template. This dialog needs to be triggered from the code programatically. So I need to show the modal through javascript, as I cannot have a data-toggle button to launch the modal-dialog.
The modal was working with bootstrap but with bootstrap-3 its not showing up, even though I can show it from the console directly. the problem here is how can I execute javascript post the template render, to launch the modal-dialog.
There is a Template.rendered/created function which is called, and inside this this.autorun(runFunc) is supposed to run the code to update the DOM element. This is called correctly, but I still cannot trigger the modal to show-up.
Template.createDialog.created = function() {
console.log("teamplate created");
this.autorun(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});
};
Update:
This works:
Template.createDialog.rendered = function() {
console.log("teamplate created");
this.autorun(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});
};
Using the rendered function, I am able to trigger the modal to show up. But the problem is that rendered and created both are only called once. And I need a way to trigger the modal dialog consistently if a condition is reached.
This bootstrap modal dialog with meteor is turning out to be painful and hacky. Is it not possible to show/hide modal using some class parameters?
Modals can be tricky to get right in Meteor for exactly the reasons you've discovered. I don't use Bootstrap, but the basic principle is that you need to trigger the modal programatically so that you can run the relevant framework code once you know the html has been rendered but still retain reactivity (this is certainly the case with Foundation and Semantic-UI modals) .
In your use case (which appears to be a single modal), this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Set a reactive variable modalVisible (a Session variable or similar), and use that to show or hide the modal as required.
this.autorun(function(c) {
if (Session.get('modalVisible')) {
$('#myModal').modal('show');
} else {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
}
});
If you put all of that in the rendered callback then it will only try to show the modal once it's been added to the DOM (without which you'll get an error and the computation will stop running, breaking reactivity). Note that you shouldn't make rendering of the template dependent on a reactive variable - it should always be rendered but only visible based on the value of the modalVisible Session variable.
Apologies if this is too simple for your use case - if so I would recommend investigating the several packages on Atmosphere for Bootstrap modals as others will almost certainly have faced the same problem.

jQuery widget (jPanelMenu) stops working on meteor route change

I have implemented jPanel Menu via a rendered template, which works great, until a route has been changed, then the menu stops working. Here is the code I am using to evoke the plugin.
Template.mobileMenu.rendered = function(){
var jPM = $.jPanelMenu({
menu: '#mobile-menu',
trigger: '.menu-trigger'
});
jPM.on();
};
The template is loaded on all pages in the footer. I am thinking it needs to be rerun on route change, OR prevented from being rerun. I am not sure which. Thanks for any tips.
This sounds similar to the problem many people have with using 3rd-party ui components. I put together a working example of using a modal dialog component which may be of some help:
https://github.com/alanning/meteor-modal-example
Also I should point out that the new Meteor UI rendering system, "Blaze", should eliminate these kinds of issues. I would expect Blaze to be released soon.
(For those visitors coming from the future, at the time of writing Meteor v0.7.0.1 is the latest version.)
The solution was to wrap it in an if not rendered, to prevent it from being re-rendered on template / route changes.
Template.mobileMenu.rendered = function(){
if (!this.rendered){
var jPM = $.jPanelMenu({
menu: '#mobile-menu',
trigger: '.menu-trigger'
});
jPM.on();
this.rendered = true;
}
};

re-draw fullCalendar on the fly

I want the fullCalendar to redraw itself (all the structure and events) without reloading the page.
Scenario:
I am using a patch of fullCalendar that supports the Resource View. For a few user actions I want to change the resources. But I don't want to reload the page.
You could 'destroy' and 'render' the calendar as a whole. But that might be cumbersome - especially in older browsers.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('destroy');
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('render');
If you don't actually need to render the table, but just rerender the events again, you could use the 'rerenderEvents' method:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('rerenderEvents');
Hopefully this helps!
Use refetchResources: .fullCalendar( 'refetchResources' )
This will fetch and freshly re-render the resource data, per the FullCalendar documentation.
The problem:
"...The problem is that the calendar is initialized while the modal or div is not visible... " based on this link enter link description here
In my opinion, destroy is not needed in this case, only with render you can see the calendar.
My solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#objectname').show(0,onObjectShow);
function onObjectShow(){$('#calendar').fullCalendar('render');}
</script>
You must to be sure that the object(container of calendar) is fully visible. For example, my first mistake was to put this code on "onClick" event, and click event is triggered before show the object container and has no effect.
Solution Based on this reference.
You can also redraw calendar on the fly using below command-
$(window).trigger("resize");

Customization of apply LinkedIn button

Has anyone tried to customize this button?
https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/apply
Beyond the built-in customization options, please don't change the look-and-feel of this button. It's part of our "Brand".
The Apply With LinkedIn button does have some customizations available. See this page for more information:
https://developer.linkedin.com/apply-visual-display-options
You could wait for the window to completely load with jQuery, then apply your css overrides. You'd want to hide the button initially and then show it when the css overrides are applied. There might be a bit of a race condition that will show the button without your styling applied at first though.
something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".IN-widget").hide();
});
$(window).load(function(){
// change LinkedIn's things you shouldn't change because their branding is important here
$(".IN-widget").show();
});

JQuery Simplemodal and Tabs Help Needed

I've got an asp.net page containing a Textbox with an Autocomplete extender on it.
It's setup so the user can type a short reference code into the textbox and then choose from the list of matching codes returned by the autocomplete.
On the "select", I then call the server using JQuery. I'm currently using $.get here....
The callback function from $.get checks for "success" and then displays a simple-modal dialog containing info about the item they've just selected.
if (sStatus == "success") {
$.modal(sText, {
overlayClose: true,
appendTo:'form',
onShow: function(dialog) {
$("#ccTargets_tabContainer").tabs();
},
onClose: function(dialog) {
$("#<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").val("");
$.modal.close();
}
});
$.ready();
}
One of the bits of info being loaded here is a JQuery TABS setup, so the onShow function of the simplemodal is used to initiate the tabs which are within the simplemodal.
Now to the crux of my problem.
If I do multiple consecutive "autocompletes" on the same page it all works fine Unless I have selected a different tab on the tabs in the simplemodal ....If I select a different tab, close the simplemodal and then do another autocomplete I get a JQuery error which seems to relate to a selector doing something with the "old" selected tab that was on the "closed" modal.
I'm clearly missing some sort of cleardown / initialisation somewhere, but can't find what it is. Help?
I've tried "tabs.destroy" before the modal call in the code above and I've tried a $.ready() call as indicated too....
UPDATE: Is it something to do with JQuery Tabs appending my addressbar URL with the selected tab's ID?
I've found the problem.
It's with the "history" script that the tabs plugin normally uses. Obviously as I am continually creating and destroying popups there is no history to speak of - it's all done outside of the normal app navigation.
I've removed the jquery.history_remote script and now it works just great!
