Emberjs CollectionView changes from 0.9.7.1 to 1.0.pre? - collections

I had some code that connected an ArrayController with CollectionView that no longer works once I upgrade to 1.0.pre.
It seems that CollectionView no longer passes each element of the collection to its template view class?
I've distilled my issue to this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/chaodoze/CbwCN/
Notice it outputs to "1,2,3" on each line in 1.0.pre
In 0.9.7.1, it outputs correctly as a single digit on each line.
Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug?
What is the best way to work-around this issue?
Thanks!

In 1.0.pre the view's context has changed. When you access {{content}} you are really accessing {{controller.content}}, which is [1,2,3]. You need to access the view's content, which in the individual number, that is done with {{view.content}}.

Unable to get current click value through Adobe Launch

I created a click event in adobe launch which will capture the value of the link and send it to analytics. I have created a data element for saving the value and in my DOM I am saving value in local storage.
Local storage code:
$('.card').click(function() {
var name = $(this).text();
localStorage.setItem('productName', name);
});
My problem is when I click the first link no value got saved, but after when I click second link it saves the value of first link and on third link saves value of second link and so on. I want to save current link value in evar3 variable.
Data element:
Rule:
Set variables:
Thanks,

I'm scratching my head a little bit about why your jQuery selector doesn't match your Rule selector, but that's probably not immediately related or relevant, considering you said you are seeing data pop, in general, so at face value, I'm going to ignore that.
But in general, it sounds like your jQuery code is getting executed after the Rule is evaluated, so it's effectively one step behind. I'm not sure there's much if anything you can do about that if you aim to keep two separate click event listeners like this.
You're going to have to restructure to have one chain off the other (which I don't think is actually feasible with jQuery > Launch as-is. Maybe if you write two separate custom code blocks with promise chaining but that kind of sidesteps Launch and IMO is over-complicating things to begin with (see below)). Better yet, merge them into a single click event listener. On that note..
Why do you have two separate click event listeners? Is the sole reason for this to pass off the link text? Because you can reference the clicked element in the Launch Rule itself.
You should be able to reference %this.innerText% in the Set Variables fields. Or you can reference this object in custom code boxes within the Rule.
IOW at face value I don't see why you need or should be creating/using that jQuery listener or pushing to local storage like that.
Update:
You commented the following:
I tried with %this.innerText% it is also not showing current values. I
am pushing the value first to local storage because my link values are
generating on runtime through an API. They are not hardcoded. I am
also trying to figure out why my rule is getting fired before my
jquery is evaluated. But when I check in console using
_satellite.getVar('Product Name'); it shows me the correct value, but in debugger console value is wrong. Can you show me the way you want
to create rule to getting it fired correctly ? Thanks,
Okay so your link values are generated runtime through an API call? Well okay now that sounds like where the (timing) issue is, and it's the same issue in principle I mentioned you prolly had between the jQuery and Launch code. Assuming you can't change this dynamic link functionality, you have two options:
1. Explicitly trigger a launch rule (direct call rule) in a callback from the API code that's generating the link values.
This is the better method, because you won't have race condition issues with your API vs. link tracking code. The biggest caveat about this method though is that it requires requires you to actively add code to the site, which may or may not be feasible for you.
I have no idea what your code for generating the link looks like, but presumably it's some ajax call and generated from the success callback. So in the callback, you'd add a line of code something like this:
_satellite.track('product_image_click', {
text : elem.innerText
});
Again, I don't know what your API code that generates the link looks like, but presumably you have within it some element object you append to or update the DOM, so for this example, I will refer to that as elem.
'product_image_click' - This is the value you use for the direct call rule identifier in the interface, e.g. :
And then _satellite.track() call also includes an object payload in 2nd argument that you can pass to the direct call rule. So in the code above, I set a property named text and give it a value of elem.innerText.
Then, within the direct call rule, where you set variables, the data you passed can be referenced from event.details object within custom code box (e.g. event.details.text), or using % syntax within the interface fields (e.g. %event.details.text%).
2. Make use of setTimeout to delay evaluating the link click.
The one advantage of this method over option #1 is that it is passive. You don't have to add code directly to your site to make it work.
However, this is the shadier option, because you don't really know how long it will take for your link to be generated. But generally speaking, if you can determine it takes on average say 250ms for the link generation API to do its thing, and you set the timeout to be called at say 300-500ms, then you will probably be okay most of the time. However, it's never a 100% guarantee.
In addition, if clicking on the link ultimately redirects the visitor to another page, then this solution will likely not work for you at all, since the browser will almost certainly have navigated before this has a chance to execute. Because of this, I normally I wouldn't even mention this as an option, but since you mentioned this link involves an API that generates the link values when clicked, I figured maybe this isn't a navigation / redirect link, so maybe this is an option you can go for, if you can't do option #1.
First, create a direct call rule the same as shown in option #1. This will be the rule that receives the link text and makes the Adobe Analytics (or whatever other marketing tag) calls.
Then, create a separate rule as a click event, similar to what you are currently trying to do (listening for the link click, based on your css selector). In this rule, you won't be setting any AA variables. Instead, add a custom js box with code like this:
var elem = this;
(function (elem) {
window.setTimeout(function() {
_satellite.track('product_image_click', {
text : elem.innerText
});
}, 500);
})(elem);
So when the rule is triggered, it will create a setTimeout callback to call the first rule, passing the link text in the payload. And.. hopefully the 500ms timeout shown in the code example is enough time for the API to do its thing. You may be able to adjust it up or down.
Rather than defining it in Data Element I would say its better to keep it directly in the Rule itself. Please try with this %this.#text%.
Let me know if this helped.

Custom button for cocos2d

I was working on creating my custom "Button" class... Im not using CCMenuItems because I need some flexibility in my buttons.
My implementation is the following:
DMenuButton : CCSprite <CCTargetedTouchDelegate>
When created, the button receives a target and selector, and builds an NSInvocation. When touched, the invocation is called. I will use this buttons mainly to go from one layer to another.
The problem is that when going from a layer to the next, and then back to the previous, something strange occurs: either no sprites are loaded into the next view or an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error is thrown.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks!
PS: My theory is that it has to do with the NSInvocation and the "dealloc" method.
Am I doing something wrong?

Why won't this checkbox refresh as expected in Meteor?

I'd like to simplify the TodoMVC app for meteor. There is currently some observe that should not be needed I think. I simplified a bit successfully, but when I try to simplify it further the updating doesn't work properly.
For instance, it should get selected when I click on all the items in the todo list but doesn't. When I refresh the page it is selected though.
Edit: Got rid of an unrelated error, thanks to #TomColeman.
I'm seeing that error before the patch is applied. It's due to the Meteor.flush on line 74.
I'm not sure why that flush is needed? (I'm also not sure why there's an error either).
Turns out it simply was because the correct html is checked="checked", not simply checked.

Sometimes willHideViewController from UISplitViewControllerDelegate is not called

I have a problem.
My app is a tab bar controller and its first view controller is a split view controller.
This seems to be not ok for Apple because documents say a split voew controller must be the root, so perhaps that is the reason of my problems.
The problem is that sometimes, willHideViewController from UISplitViewControllerDelegate is not called, so, for this reason, the upper/left button sometimes is not created, which is anoying.
I realised, to reproduce this error, try several times this:
-Landscape mode.
-Select a tab different to split view controller tap.
-Move the iPad to portrait in that tab.
-Go to the split view controller tab, and sometimes, willHideViewController is not called so you will not see the upper button. However if I rotate my iPad to landscape and after that to portrait, it's fixed.
I tried to force manually several rotations to work around this problem, but no luck.
I still have to try any split view controller clone class from github or similar.
Do you have idea what's going on or any work around?
Here I show you two examples working properly.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Where do you set the splitViewControllers delegate? Perhaps you can set the delegate when you load the tab. It sounds like you set it only when you have rotated once?
Otherwise, see this example
Here they have the TableViewController be the delegate of the splitviewcontroller. Perhaps you could do the same with the TabBarController?
I've concluded that this can't be done in any way that I consider 'sufficiently' legitimate. It's possible to get frustratingly close, but the issue of having the willShow..., willHide disseminated to the split view controllers under each tab remains.
The solution that seems most likely to work is,
https://github.com/grgcombs/IntelligentSplitViewController/blob/master/IntelligentSplitViewController.m
Though this code is undoubtedly clever, it's a bit too 'side door' for me. I suspect (but don't know) that just invoking the delegate methods is not sufficient. Surely the UISplitViewController itself needs to change it's internal state as well as calling the delegate methods? This method 'just' invokes the delegate methods when there's an orientation change.
So... I've decided on a more legitimate solution, which is to use the new method introduced in iOS 5.
- (BOOL) splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc
shouldHideViewController:(UIViewController *)vc
inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation
{
return NO;
}
So, the master menu is never hidden, and therefore the problem of managing the popover doesn't arise.
Of course, this is still not totally 'legit' as it still includes UISplitViewControllers that are not at the top level (the UITabViewController is at the top level, and the split views are on each tab)
Good luck with whichever solution you choose.
I'll update this reply when I've confirmed Apple will approve an app using this solution.

ASP.NET 3.5 - Making a field readonly/unmodifiable without "disabling" it

I have a web application with a form that has disabled fields in it. It allows a "Save As" function which basically means the settings can be copied into a new configuration (without being modified) and in the new configuration they can be changed to something else. The problem I am running into with this is that since the fields are disabled, they are not getting posted through and do not appear in the context object on the server side.
When I removed the logic to disable the fields, that part works fine. So the remaining problem is, how to "disable" the fields (not allow any change of the data in any of the entry fields) without really "disabling" them (so that the data gets posted through when saving)?
I was originally looking for a way to do this in CSS but not sure if it exists. The best solution is of course, the simplest one. Thanks in advance!
(Note: by 'disabled' I mean "The textboxes display but none of the text inside of them can be modified at all". It does not matter to me whether the cursor appears when you click inside it, though if I had a preference it would be no cursor...)

readonly attribute is what you want.
i would suggest that instead of using the non-updateable field values from the page's inputs, you retrieve the original object from the DB and copy them from there. It's pretty trivial using something like Firebug to modify the contents of the page whose form will be posted back to modify the values, even if they are marked as readonly. Since you really want the values from the original, I would simply reget the object and copy them. Then you don't need to worry about whether the original (and non-updateable) properties get posted back at all.
