Passing a variable from within a while loop to a jquery - php

I have a web page that lists a number of companies from a MYSQL database, the listing just shows the name of the company. When user clicks on the company name a jquery accordion slider shows the rest of the information about that company.
When company name is clicked it also sends a request to a php script to log that a person has viewed that company's details.
My Problem
I want to send the ID for each record to the php script.
I have achieved this by including the accordion jquery code within the while loop that reads the output of the mysql query, but it generates a lot of unnecessary source code (i.e. for each company listed).
I need to include the jquery accordion code outside of the while statement.
How do I pass the id of each database record (i.e. company name) to the $.post in the jquery code, when it is outside of the while loop?
Accordion Jquery code
$(document).ready(function() { $('div.listing> div').hide(); $('div.listing> h4').click(function() {
$.post("/record.php", { id: "<?php echo $LM_row02[id]; ?>" } )
var $nextDiv = $(this).next();
var $visibleSiblings = $nextDiv.siblings('div:visible');
if ($visibleSiblings.length ) {
$visibleSiblings.slideUp('fast', function() {
$nextDiv.slideToggle('fast');
});
} else {
$nextDiv.slideToggle('fast');
} }); });
Any idea most welcome.

When you create the HTML (I assume you do that in the loop as well), add a data-* attribute with the ID as value to the element and read that value with jQuery when the element is clicked on.
E.g. your resulting HTML will look like:
<h4 data-id="123">Some title</h4>
and your JavaScript:
$('div.listing > h4').click(function() {
$.post("/record.php", { id: $(this).attr('data-id') }, function() {
// ...
});
});

When you create the h4 element in html add a html5 data attribute like
<h4 data-companyid="<?php echo $LM_row02[id]; ?>">Company Name</h4>
Then use that companyid in your ajax call like
$.post("/record.php", { id: $(this).data('companyid') } );

expand/collapse div (toggle) when clicking on header

I have the following jQuery code to toggle the view of more information in a div.
$(".expandCollapse").click(function () {
var bidValue = this.id,
expandArea = $("#"+bidValue+'_status')
expandArea.slideToggle(500);
});
The code works to toggle the view of displaying more information when the submission header is clicked. The div IDs of $moreInfo are dynamically created.
$moreInfo = $bidValue.''."_status";
echo "<div class='expandCollapse' id='$bidValue'>Submission</div>";
echo "<div id='$moreInfo'>$displayComments</div>";
However I want to open only one view/div at a time. If a div is open when a submission is clicked it should be closed before the other one is opened.
I've tried several things but it closes or hides all divs. Searching the web only show a solution using anchor tags.
Any thoughts...?
Thanks.
To achieve this you can put a common class on the second div element to allow you to hide them all before showing the next, like this:
echo '<div id="$moreInfo" class="expand-area">$displayComments</div>';
$(".expandCollapse").click(function () {
var bidValue = this.id,
expandArea = $("#" + bidValue + '_status').slideToggle(500)
$('.expand-area').not(expandArea).hide();
});
Also note that you can make your code much more simple and generic by usnig DOM traversal to select the elements, instead of building selector strings based on related id attributes, like this:
$(".expandCollapse").click(function () {
var expandArea = $(this).next('.expand-area').slideToggle(500);
$('.expand-area').not(expandArea).hide();
});
The code above assumes that the elements are siblings, but you can easily amend the next() to traverse however is required.
Assuming the header and content divs are siblings you may use:
$(.expandCollapse + div)
// All <div>s that are immediately after an .expandCollapse
$(".expandCollapse").click(function () {
var bidValue = this.id,
expandArea = $("#"+bidValue+'_status')
expandArea.slideToggle(500);
$('.expandCollapse + div').not(expandArea).hide();
});
$('[id$="_status"]').hide();
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class='expandCollapse' id='bidValue1'>Submission1</div>
<div id='bidValue1_status'>displayComments</div>
<div class='expandCollapse' id='bidValue2'>Submission2</div>
<div id='bidValue2_status'>displayComments</div>
<div class='expandCollapse' id='bidValue3'>Submission3</div>
<div id='bidValue3_status'>displayComments</div>

SQL Query creates buttons that one can click to 'hopefully' change DIV

I am failing hardcore with describing this but here it goes..
I have home.php, pretty much just:
<body>
<div id='leftColumn'>
<?php include ('includes/roomQuery.php')
</div>
</body>
Now,
roomQuery.php echos my sql column 'room_name' from table 'rooms' as follows:
echo "<td>$roomName</td>";
Any of the room links will take me to room.php and populate the page with more queries respective to $roomName via $_GET.
room.php is basically:
$get = $_GET['room'];
$query
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
echo $query
This is working perfectly for what it is.
====================================
however, I am trying to make my site flow better, and have been trying out the jQuery .load function. So far I have changed roomQuery.php to:
echo "<td><button>$roomName</button></td>";
here is my jQuery to replace home.php #page with room.php #page:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#page").load("room.php #page",function(responseTxt,statusTxt,xhr){
if(statusTxt=="success")
alert("Success");
if(statusTxt=="error")
alert("Error: "+xhr.status+": "+xhr.statusText);
});
});
});
When I click any of the buttons that roomQuery.php spits out, it replaces #page perfectly but I cannot grasp how/if I can send $_GET['room'] to room.php so that when #page is loaded, the information is still respective to the room I clicked on. If I change jQuery to
$("#page").load("room.php?room=CL%20124 #page"
Then #page is populated with the data specifically respective to room CL 124. Is it possible to post the button text that is output from roomsQuery.php to room.php #page when the button is clicked?
Yes, you can pass data into the .load() call as the second parameter.
Firstly, you need to work out how to get the room ID from the DOM into your jQuery call, maybe you could use a data attribute on the button element like this:
<button data-room-id="123">Click me</button>
Then use jQuery like this:
$("button").click(function(){
// define your room ID here, however you do it
var your_room = $(this).data('room-id');
$("#page").load(
"room.php #page",
{
room: your_room
},
function(responseTxt,statusTxt,xhr){
if(statusTxt=="success")
alert("Success");
if(statusTxt=="error")
alert("Error: "+xhr.status+": "+xhr.statusText);
}
);
});
Edit: just noticed that you might actually be using the button's value as your room ID, if so, use this definition:
var your_room = $(this).val();
If you're expecting spaces or non-alpha numeric characters in this value, you might want to consider URL encoding it before you send it.

Pass multiple values to jQuery

I built a for each loop that pulls back several rows from the database. Each row it pulls has a link, and a hidden input box with a value of posting_id. This link will work similar to a like button on facebook in a way. The hidden input box just stores the posting_id. When you click the "like" link, it sends over the posting_id to a jQuery page and pings back a page called community to tell it the user has "liked" the post.
Here's the problem
I'm pulling several rows, and it seems that only the top row being pulled is actually sending the data to the jQuery page when you click the "like" button. If I click on any other "like" button other than the top one it will not work at all.
Jquery Page
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $('.posting_id').val();
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
Foreach Loop
foreach ($result as $value) {
$group_postings .= '
<input type="text" class="posting_id" value="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link"></div>
<span id="counter"></span>
';
}
I hope I've made the issue clear, it was and is difficult to explain.
The problem is you are using a class to get the posting_id, since all the hidden fields have the same class only the first elements value is passed no matter what button you click.
i recommend using this html, without the hidden input, pass the value as a data attribute
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link" data-postid="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
and in this js, get the posting id from the data attribute
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $(this).data('postid'); // get the posting id from data attribute
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
You are calling val() on selector you might return more then one elements, but val() will give you the value of one (first) element only. You can use map() to get all values of input having class posting_id
var posting_id_values = $('.posting_id').map(function(){
return this.value;
}).get().join(',');
Your problem is this line:
var posting_id = $('.posting_id').val();
This will return the first posting_id value every time, not the one associated with the bump_link you are clicking on.
There are lots of ways to solve this. One way is to use .prev() to select the previous element:
var posting_id = $(this).prev('.posting_id').val();
this selects the previous posting_id element from the current div. This relies on the fact that the posting_id element is before the associated bump_link div.
If you want to send just the posting_id of the clicked button, you could change your PHP/HTML code like this:
foreach ($result as $value) {
$group_postings .= '
<div id="bump_icon" class="bump_link">
<input type="text" class="posting_id" value="'.$value['posting_id'].'">
</div>
<span id="counter"></span>
';
}
And your JS code like this:
$('.bump_link').click(function(){
var posting_id = $(this).find('.posting_id').val();
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});
use on delegated event since you are adding the content dynamically and
$(this).prev('.posting_id') // to get the posting data value
$(document).on('click','.bump_link',function(){
var posting_id = $(this).prev('.posting_id').val(); //<-- use $(this) reference
$.post("community.php", {
posting_id: posting_id
});
alert(posting_id);
$(this).toggleClass("bumped");
});

this is regarding Jquery/JS, if i change element's HTML - will i be able to perform other Jquery/JS action on it

I have a a script that on click do a ajax call connect to the database get imagename and set the image name inside an < -img - > with the right path also it adds a hidden checkbox after it and then echo it.
i then take the ajax message returned and put it as div's HTML. my question is will i be able to preform more action on the inserted content..
The main goal is to be able to click on the image as if it were a checkbox(this part is already sorted for me) however no matter what i try i cant have a .click function works..
Here is the code.
This is the PHP part that echos the images.
if($_POST['updateIgallery'] == 'ajax'){
global $wpdb;
$table_name= $wpdb->prefix . "table_T";
$imagecounter = 1;
$toecho = '';
$currentselected = $wpdb->get_row("query");
preg_match_all('/\/(.+?\..+?)\//',$currentselected ['image_gal'],$preresualts); // images are stored with /image/.
foreach ($preresualts[1] as $imagename){
$toecho .= '
<img rel="no" id="JustantestID" class="JustaTestClass" src="'.site_url().'/wp-content/plugins/wp-ecommerce-extender/images/uploads/'.$imagename.'">
<input name="DoorIMGtoDeleteIDcheck'.$imagecounter.'" style="display:none;" name="DoorIMGtoDelete['.$imagecounter.']" value="/'.$imagename.'/" type="checkbox">
';
$imagecounter++;
}
echo $toecho;
}
This is the ajax part that send and receive and insert the HTML to the div:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/wp-content/plugins/wp-ecommerce-extender/DB_Functions.php",
data: { updateIgallery: "ajax", CurrentDoorIDnum: $('#dooridforgallery').val()}
}).success(function(insertID) {
$("#ImgGalleryID").html(insertID);
});
This so far works what i am having trouble with is the following:
$("#JustantestID").click(function() {
//DoorImageGallery($(this).attr('id')); // the function i will use if the alert actually works
alert("kahdaskjdj");
return true;
});
I hope the question and the code is understandable.
Thanks in advanced.
When you replace element's html, all the elements inside it are removed and gone. That means the event handlers attached to them are removed as well.
You could try attaching an event handler to a higher level element that is static and permanent on your page. Without more info I am going to use document:
$(document).on( "click", "#yaniv", function() {
alert("kahdaskjdj");
});
$('img.JustaTestClass').bind('click', function() {
var checkbox = $(this).siblings('input[type=checkbox]');
if (!checkbox.is(':checked')) checkbox.attr('checked', true);
else checkbox.attr('checked', false);
});
Since the elements are dynamically inserted into the DOM with ajax, you have to delegate events to a parent element that actually exists when binding the click handler, which in this case looks to be #ImgGalleryID
$('#ImgGalleryID').on('click', '#yaniv', function() {
DoorImageGallery(this.id);
alert("kahdaskjdj");
});

Transferring a contents of a table cell into document loaded by jQuery

I currently have a table in the current format:
ID Client Info Case Detail Accident Date Case Opened No Days Function
-- ----------- ----------- ------------- ----------- ------- --------
which contains dynamic information being pulled out of the database.
The ID column is of particular importance because I need to extract the data from this cell when the user clicks on the "Manage" button under the function column.
Right now this is the code that runs when the user clicks on the "Manage" button.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".manage").click(function () {
$('#casesHeading').hide("slow");
$('#casesTable').hide("slow");
$('#results').load('components/manage.php');
});
});
</script>
A heading and table is hidden and the page "manage.php" is loaded in results div.
But I was just wondering if there was anyway for me to transfer the content of the ID cell (this varies per row) obviously into the manage.php file (which is currently empty).
So if the user clicks on a row with the ID cell data 233-cv then this information would be transferred over into the manage.php file. Hopefully I'm making sense. I read up on the jQuery .find function and it made some sense but I have no idea how to incorporate it in this instance.
UPDATE 1
I'm trying to accomplish somethng similar to this http://jsfiddle.net/ZjvAz/.
UPDATE 2
I've tried the following code but it doesn't seem to be working.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".manage").click(function() {
var clickedButton = $(this);
clickedButton.parent().find(".result").text(
clickedButton.parent().parent().parent().find('.caseID').text()
);
});
});
</script>
I would have my manage.php file take the case ID as an argument. It would be called in a manner such as manage.php?caseId=123.
If you have control over the generated data, you could generate the required information to go in the button. There is no need for jquery code to traverse the DOM to the ID field. I would just generate something like this in the table source
<tr>
<td class="id">123</td>
...
<td class="function">
<button class="manage" onclick="loadManagementPage(123)">manage</button>
</td>
</tr>
If you cannot control the HTML source and do need to navigate, your best friend is probably using closest() which navigates up the dom. Use this to find the row element tr
For self-documenting purposes, i am not using chaining here
$( '.manage' ).click(function(){
// find the row we are in
var $self = $( this );
var $row = $self.closest( 'tr' );
// read the id
var $idCell = $row.find( 'td.id' );
var caseId = $idCell.text();
// locate an area on the page and dynamically load in some content
var $target = $row.find( 'td.result' ); // find the result cell
var $target = $( '#knownId' ) // *OR* find a div with a known id
$target.load( 'manage.php?caseId=' + caseId );
});
jQuery.load( handler(eventObject) ) Returns: jQuery
Description: Bind an event handler to the "load" JavaScript event.
As 'components/manage.php' isn't an event-handler – what are you trying to do?
If you want to request data from the server (also with sending smoe ID to it), you should read about the jQuery.ajax( url [, settings] ) function.
