jQuery - Drag and drop List reordering - php

I have a HTML list that I'd like to allow the user to be able to re-order through drag-and-dropping, and then submit their changes to the database.
I'm happy with all the database stuff, but I'm struggling with the Javascript/JQuery.
I've currently got jQuery UI Sortable working fine (so the other and re-order elements via drag-and-drop), but I don't know how to go about getting the new order for the SUBMIT.
Can anyone help? If you need more information, just say. Thanks!

send that data to your application via an AJAX call for example
$('#TabContainer').tabs();
$('#TabContainer .ui-tabs-nav').sortable({
axis: 'x',
update: function(event, ui){
var data = $('#TabContainer .ui-tabs-nav').sortable('serialize');
$.ajax({
url: '/events/update-tab-order',
data: data,
type: 'POST',
mode: 'abort'
});
}
});
The only tricky part is that you must specify an ID on the list items in the format of groupname_identifier. For example:
<div id="TabContainer">
<ul>
<li id="MyTabs_123">Tab 1</li>
<li id="MyTabs_124">Tab 2</li>
...etc
</ul>
...tab content goes here
</div>
Then when your application receives the POST data, it will be an array that looks like this:
$_POST['MyTabs']
array(
0 => '123',
1 => '124'
)

Take a look # serialize(), I made the same thing without an explicit submit button, but directly inject the order by ajax using mootools.
<script language="javascript">
<!--
window.addEvent('domready', function() {
var thisSortables = new Sortables($('list'), {
constrain: true,
clone: true,
revert: true,
onStart: function() {
$('confirm').set('html', '');
},
onComplete: function() {
this.serialize(function(el, index) {
var updateOrderRequest = new Request.HTML({
url: '../module/tools/admgn/dbsorter.php',
method: 'post',
data: {'itemID': el.id.replace("item_",""), 'new_pos':(index+1)}
}).send();
});
$('confirm').set('html', 'Reihenfolge erfolgreich gespeichert.');
}
});
});
-->
</script>
Maybe you get the idea how you can make it work.

Since <UL> and <OL> is not form element you cannot get through post method , I hope you can do by this

make all options as selected and hide the available part as hidden

innerhtml+= How to Get load data from ajax then make an action?

im newbie that newbie learn here...
i want add some event from loaded part dynamically but it return to 1 id
so i problem with innerHTML+= and call with ajax like this..
$.ajax({
url: 'getuser.php',
type: 'POST',
data: {
id_user: id_user
},
success: function(data) {
listuser.innerHTML+=data;
}
});
then with getuser.php i got result like this
<div id="listuser">
<button id="1" class="pickmember">Member1</button >
<button id="2" class="pickmember">Member2</button>
</div>
so when i call a function
$(".pickmember").click(function(){
var id_user=$(this).attr('id');
alert('u pick member'+id_user);
});
when i call it,, it always return to last added to innerhtml, and cant detect member2 when click,, there is solution to this?
use .on() instead of .click()
$(".pickmember").on('click', function () {
var id_user = $(this).attr('id');
alert('u pick member' + id_user);
});

jQuery full calendar $.ajax call issue ( using static events on page open )

So I am using Yii and full calendar as a widget which is called in a view of CalendarController. Uppon call for a widget, the widget retrives existing events from the DB and puts them inside the full calendar to display. Now I have also made a simple filter for filtering out events by category they are in ( dropdown with a submit ), so I want to send request to a calendarController method called actionEvents() which then takes what is passed to it ( the category of events for which we want to retrieve events ), gets them back to the jQuery which then calls the calendar again passing it a json_encode(d) array of needed properties to correctly render events under the selected category in the dropdown. The problem I have is that it seems fullcalendar is doing my wanted call ( POST ) as well as one another GET call along with it for some reason so it does return properly formatted json to the jQuery from the method of controller, but just shows an empty calendar without events in it on return. This is how the console looks like after the returned data.
This is the code that calls ajax call
$(document).ready(function() {
var date = new Date(),
d = date.getDate(),
m = date.getMonth(),
y = date.getFullYear();
$('form.eventFilter').submit(function() {
var selectedOption = $('form.eventFilter select').val(),
eventContainer = $('.fc-event-container');
var objectToSend = { "categories" : [selectedOption],"datefrom" : "september2013"/*month + "" + year*/ , "dateto" : "september2013"/*month + "" + year*/};
$.ajax({
url: '<?php echo Yii::app()->createUrl('calendar/events'); ?>',
type: "POST",
async:false,
data: {data : JSON.stringify(objectToSend)},
success: function(data) {
$('#fc_calendar').html('');
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar({
events: data
});
console.log(data);
},
error: function() {
console.log(data);
}
});
return false;
})
})
The code that renders initial calendar events on first page load ( open ) is this
<div id="fc_calendar"></div>
<script class="fc_calendar_script">
// gets calendar and its events working and shown
var date = new Date();
var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth();
var y = date.getFullYear();
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,basicWeek,basicDay'
},
editable: true,
events: [
<?php foreach ($eventItems as $event): ?>
{
title: '<?php echo htmlentities($event['eventItems']['title']); ?>',
start: new Date(y,m,d + <?php echo $event['eventItems']['startdate_day_difference']; ?>),
end: new Date(y,m,d + <?php echo $event['eventItems']['enddate_day_difference']; ?>),
url: '<?php echo $event['eventItems']['url']; ?>',
className: [
<?php foreach($event['eventCategories'] as $category) { echo ''.json_encode($category['slug']).','; }?> // and categories slugs as classnames, same purpose
]
},
<?php endforeach; ?>
]
});
</script>
The code in controller is not that important since you can see what it returns in the screenshot :) If someone has an idea of how to get around this I would really be grateful :) Tried everything I know
Ok so bounty goes to whoever answers this question :)
I am having problems with full calendar month rendering when ajax data is returned and events populated. Since I have checkboxes for each category ( events have MANY_MANY relation with categories ) and each time a checkbox is checked or unchecked, JSON array of chosen categories of events is passed on to PHP method which queries DB for all events that go under chose categories and returns all events in a jquery encoded array to the view which then takes that events array and rerenders the calendar like shown in the upper code.
Problem is that when a checkbox is checked or unchecked and ajax returned the calendar always renders on the current month ( so right now it would always rerender itself to show events for september, untill the end of the month, then always for Ocbober and so on ), but what if a user was on lets say November 2013 when he checked event category for which he wanted to filter the events? The calendar would rerender on September still. How could I make it rerender on the month the user was on when he checked / unchecked a checkbox ?
The code that I have which keeps track ( or at least it should ) of the current month when prev or next month buttons are clicked is this
$('.fc-button-next span').click(function(){
start = $('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar('getView').visEnd;
console.log(start);
});
$('.fc-button-prev span').click(function(){
start = $('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar('getView').visStart;
console.log(start);
});
However this code is not tracking properly, sometimes it skips a month, sometimes it stays on the month without change and sometimes it returns propper month, which is bugging me so I cant call this function of the calendar properly which should set calendar to propper month on rerender.
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar('gotoDate', start);
I think what you might be looking for is something like
jQuery(function($){
$('form.eventFilter').submit(function() {
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar( 'refetchEvents' );
return false;
});
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar({
header: {
left: 'prev,next today',
center: 'title',
right: 'month,basicWeek,basicDay'
},
editable: true,
events: function(start, end, callback) {
var selectedOption = $('form.eventFilter select').val(),
eventContainer = $('.fc-event-container');
//create the data to be sent
var objectToSend = {
"categories": [selectedOption],
"datefrom": start.getDate() + '-' + start.getMonth() + '-' + start.getYear(),
"dateto": end.getDate() + '-' + end.getMonth() + '-' + end.getYear()
};
//use jsonp based jQuery request
$.ajax({
url: 'events.json',
data: objectToSend,
cache: false
}).done(function(data){
//on success call `callback` with the data
callback(data)
})
}
});
});
Demo: Plunker
Note: The date param formatting and jsonp is not used here, you will have to change it to match your requirements
I see that you use JSON.stringify(data); this is what i tought your error was
maybe you need a jsonp, and below you have my example
$.ajax({
'url': 'http://domain.com/index.php/api/news?callback=?',
'data': {'data': JSON.stringify(data), callback: 'jsonPCallback'},
'success': function(data) {
// console.log(data);
},
jsonpCallback: jsonPCallback,
dataType: 'jsonp'
});
function jsonPCallback(cbdata){
console.log('callback2')
// console.log(cbdata);
return false;
}
now, do you also use something like
echo $_GET['callback'].'('.CJSON::encode(array('status_live' => 1, 'data' => $data_decoded)).')';
in the controller to return the results ?
also, createUrl might be wrong, because you need a absolute path
Actualy the problem solution is as weird as the problem itself and it is the following. You must use designated way of doing an ajax call to fetch json that is in the plugin documentation, any other way you send your own call ( GET or POST ) and the calendar after that makes yet another call ( hence the another GET call ) if you are using just a "regular" $.ajax, $.post or $.get call using jQueries native functionality
This should really be posted somewhere on the website in some section so that people do not get confused why their calendar is not making ajax calls and I wonder how noone else had similar problem before . So this is the "correct" documentation way of calling it with full calendar which you can find HERE
$('#fc_calendar').html('');
$('#fc_calendar').fullCalendar({
eventSources: [
// your event source
{
url: '?r=calendar/events',
type: 'POST',
data: { data : JSON.stringify(objectToSend)},
error: function(data) {
alert(data);
},
}
// any other sources...
]
});
So it will automaticly fetch any returned ( properly formatted data ) and use it to rerender new calendar with those events. It is very weird way of doing it, but the only way that will work.
I can't comment so, you have an assignment to variable:"nothing" in your last query parameter
double check if you have looked for ajax request in your controller(important!),
and also if this is this a 404 by the apache, you have url rewriting problems,
and it looks like index.php is missing from url?!

gmail like star button -jquery problem

I've built star button to use it like "starred items". I have the code running. but i have a problem.
When i click on star it becomes a starred item and and the star image changes.
But when i click again to unstar, it just doesn't work. i need to refresh the page to unstar it.
Also even the first step doesn't work for chrome.
add star codes:
jquery
$(function() {
$(".yildiz").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var dataString = 'id='+id ;
var parent = $(this).parent();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "yildizekle.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function toggle()
{
$('.yildizbutton'+id).animate({
src:"star-icon.png",
class:"yildizsizbutton"+id,
},0);
}
});
return false;
});
});
php:
<img class="yildizsizbutton'.$row['id'].'" border="0" src="star-icon.png" alt="Yildizi kaldir" width="16" height="16" />
remove star
$(function() {
$(".yildizf").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
var dataString = 'id='+id ;
var parent = $(this).parent();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "yildizsil.php",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function toggle()
{
$('.yildizsizbutton'+id).animate({
src:"star-icon-f.png",
class:"yildizbutton"+id,
},0);
}
});
return false;
});
});
php:
<img class="yildizbutton'.$row['id'].'" border="0" src="star-icon-f.png" alt="Yildiz ekle" width="16" height="16" />
To add the star, do something similar to this:
$("#"+id).find("img").attr("src", "star-icon.png");
To remove:
$("#"+id).find("img").attr("src", "sstar-icon-f.png");
You shouldn't use animate in the way you are using it at all. I also used the ID of the container, then found the image inside of it, instead of putting together that class like you were doing. That's just personal preference, though...the main takeaway is to use attr("src") to set the src of an image in jQuery.
EDIT: Here is a full solution that should work.
$(function() {
$(".star").click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr("id");
if($(this).hasClass("starred")) {
$.post("yildizekle.php", {id: id}, function(resp) {
$(this).removeClass("starred").find("img").attr("src", "star-icon-f.png");
});
}
else {
$.post("yildizsil.php", {id: id}, function(resp) {
$(this).addClass("starred").find("img").attr("src", "star-icon.png");
});
}
return false;
});
});
Notice that we are using a class to track whether or not the element is already starred. This means in your PHP you will need to add the starred class to any elements that are already starred when the page loads. Also, I used $.post instead of $.ajax since it is a simpler way of doing the same thing.
There are a few problems in your code, and both of the answers here are relevant and both are correct. Being as green as you are, I'd say you are on the road to learning well.
I'd use a separate class for ALL of the stars, one that doesn't relate to if its starred or unstarred. Maybe something like 'star'. :) You need to refresh the page to un-star it is because you never actually change it on the FRONT-end to be starred. If you use a tool like firebug of WebKit's Web inspector, you'll see that the class of the link is still "yildiz".
I'm not going to give you a complete answer because I'd be robbing you of an awesome learning experience here. Here are some pointers:
Remember which objects your click() events are connected to: $(".yildizf") and $(".yildiz")
When you click on an item, does it actually change class so that jQuery knows it's different? Essentially, you are 'starring' the same item over and over again because you never allow jQuery to see it as something it needs to un-star
If you use a 'star' class in addition to the other class (like <a class="star yildiz" ...>), then you can attach your click event to $('a.star'), and figure out in THERE if you should be starring or unstarring the item.
I hope this all makes sense.
You've defined the click event to both star and un-star the item. In the event you need to look at the current state of the item then decide if you want to star or un-star it. you need to branch inside your click event.

jQuery Connected Sortable Lists, Save Order to MySQL

Hoping that using something like this demo it is possible to drag items within and between two columns, and update their order either live or with a "save" button to MySQL. Point being that you can make changes and return to the page later to view or update your ordering.
http://pilotmade.com/examples/draggable/
Doing it for just one column is fine, but when I try to pass the order of both columns, the issue seems to be passing multiple serialized arrays with jQuery to a PHP/MySQL update script.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
If you look below, I want to pass say...
sortable1entry_1 => 0entry_5 => 1
sortable2entry_3 => 0entry_2 => 1entry_4 => 2
EDIT: This ended up doing the trick
HTML
<ol id="sortable1"><li id="entry_####">blah</li></ol>
jQuery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("#sortable1, #sortable2").sortable(
{
connectWith: '.connectedSortable',
update : function ()
{
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: "phpscript",
data:
{
sort1:$("#sortable1").sortable('serialize'),
sort2:$("#sortable2").sortable('serialize')
},
success: function(html)
{
$('.success').fadeIn(500);
$('.success').fadeOut(500);
}
});
}
}).disableSelection();
});
This is the PHP query
parse_str($_REQUEST['sort1'], $sort1);
foreach($sort1['entry'] as $key=>$value)
{
do stuff
}
what I would do is split them up
data :
{
sort1:$('#sortable1').sortable('serialize'),
sort2:$('#sortable2').sortable('serialize')
}
then when you post you can get the request and set them as needed, I hope that makes sense
so what I do is this
parse_str($_REQUEST['sort1'],$sort1);
foreach($sort1 as $key=>$value){
//do sutff;
}

jquery+php send values

i have forms createds that require a value , as this this forms edits different users.
so how would i send that value from jquery? i know how to do it with combobox , but i want to do it from links :
like - name [details] when someone clicks on details the forms will pop up, so i wana mimic index.php?id=2 but with jquery, anyideas?
Do you want to display some content via JQuery with a link? Modify the selector to point to the correct DOM object, eg. an anchor tag with class "details"
$('a .details').click(function ()
{
$.get(
'index.php?id=2',
function(html)
{
$('#results').html(html);
});
});
if you want to load the content the link is pointing to, use (untested)
$('a .details').click(function ()
{
var anchor = this;
$.get(
$(anchor).attr('href'),
function(html)
{
$('#results').html(html);
});
});
if the id is stored in the li element, you can get the "id" attribute by using:
$('li').attr('id');
$('a .details').click(function ()
{ $.get( 'index.php?id=2', <--------------I need to pass that id=2 from a link thats created dynamicaly.
function(html)
{ $('#results').html(html); });});
for example, using
a
<ul id="cat" >
</ul>
i can acces , "cat" through jquery, loop through the cat elements and each li id=
will be clickable with some css
I cant figure out how to do it with normal text links!
thanks anyway dspinozzi
