We have large SharePoint lists with lots of columns. Our users are forgetting which cells they are viewing because after scrolling the headers disappear (no way to freeze headers like in Excel).
We want to try adding tooltips to the cell items so when they hover over it will display a tooltip with the column name.
Has anyone ever tried doing this before?
I have the following code which works initially on the load but stops working after the user sorts, filters or switches the list into Edit mode:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(
function()
{
$('td').hover
(
function()
{
var idx = jQuery(this).parent().children().index(jQuery(this));
jQuery(this).attr('title',jQuery(this).parent().parent().parent().find('th').eq(idx).text());
jQuery('div.ms-core-brandingText').html(jQuery(this).parent().parent().parent().find('th').eq(idx).text());
}
)
}
);
</script>
Your code stops working because SharePoint reloads the list content. This is a common issue when adding client side scripts to SharePoint pages.
First, you should actually be able to render a view with frozen headers. Right, it doesn't come out of the box, but there are third party datatable tools available.
Another option is to include your code via the Client Side Rendering option. This is a broad topic, so probably the first step would be to google it.
Okay, getting closer, using CSR instead of just jQuery. This works but needs each field specified manually. Looking for a way to apply this to every field in the view.
<script type="text/javascript">
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
Templates: {
Fields: {
'Comments': {
'View': function (ctx) {
return String.format('<span title="{0}">{1}</span>', this.FieldTitle, ctx.CurrentItem.Comments);
}
},
'Name': {
'View': function (ctx) {
return String.format('<span title="{0}">{1}</span>', this.FieldTitle, ctx.CurrentItem.Name);
}
}
}
}
});
It occurs since when filtering/sorting is getting applied the List View is reloaded.
How to hover List Item in SharePoint 2013
The following function could be used for hovering List Item cells in SharePoint 2013:
function hoverListItems()
{
$('tr.ms-itmhover td').hover(
function() {
var $td = $(this);
var $th = $td.closest('table').find('th').eq($td.index());
$td.attr('title',$th.text());
}
);
}
Since in SharePoint 2013 Client-Side-Rendering (CSR) is the default rendering mode, the example below demonstrates how to register hoverListItem function using OnPostRender event
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
OnPostRender: function() {
hoverListItems();
}
});
Note: using the specified technique List Item hover will also work after
sorting/filtering is applied.

Tool-Tip Work-around:
The solution I have been using is a simple, non-html solution. I simply create a link to an item; insert it's own address (so that it doesn't go anywhere); then under the new LINK tab type the tip you want in the Description box.
save the page then try mousing over your new link, voilà
Hope that helps some!

I have created a webpage that uses jQuery to show and hide elements. The obvious problem now arose; the back and forward browser buttons don't work anymore as everything is loaded within a single location.
I know the answer lies within jQuery History but after busting my head for several hours on their website and examples given here on stackoverflow, I still cant manage to:
A) create a history entry (I think i got this covered but not 100% sure)
B) animate the page transition with my own function (displayed beneath)
This is the website: www.grommit.nl
There are 4 sub-pages that require a history entry when called upon.
This code shows the transition of the "wordpress page". The other pages work in a similiar way. (so far I have only managed to generalize the last part of the pageload with the "LoadPageContent" function, the bit before that is different with every page)
var LoadPageContent = function() {
$(".sceneBody").slideDown(function() {
$(".aftertitle").css('width', '4em');
$(".mediacontainer").fadeTo('0.3s', 1,)
});
$("#goWordpress").click(function () {
$("#homeScene").fadeOut(function () {
$("#wordpressMessage").fadeIn(function() {
$(this).delay(300).slideUp(function() {
$("#wordpressPage, #grommitFixed").slideDown(function() {
LoadPageContent();
});
});
});
});
});
this is the function that is currently working as a previous button within the DOM. I would like this function to execute when the previous button is clicked.
var goBack = function() {
$(".aftertitle").css('width', '0em')
$(".mediacontainer").fadeTo('0.3s', 0, function() {
$(".scenebody, #grommitFixed").slideUp(function() {
$("*[id*=Page]:visible").each(function() {
$(this).slideUp(function() {
$("#homeScene").fadeIn();
});
});
});
});
};
In html5 you have something called pushstate, that you can use to tell the browser what to go back to. Check out:

I'm trying to open a popup of Webix combo control programmatically, but there are three issues I can't overcome.
Here's the snippet that represents them:
popup list spreads to the width of the form container (probably the current combo.$view is the wrong target to open a popup)
Only on initial state (I mean the popup wasn't opened yet by user actions)
the initial value is ignored
new value can't be selected from the opened popup
Here's the code of the combo and the button:
{
view:"combo",
inputWidth:350,
id:"mycombo",
value:1,
options:list_data
},
{
view:"button",
value:"show popup",
click:function(){
var combo = $$("mycombo");
var list = combo.getList();
list.show( combo.$view ); // probably wrong
}
}
Unfortunately, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong (or is it possible at all). Thanks in advance.
Found it! list.show( combo.$view ) was really troublesome notation. In the following code
var combo = $$("mycombo");
var list = combo.getList();
list.show(combo.getInputNode());
show(combo.getInputNode()) resolves two of three problems. Still, I have no idea how to make the visual selection work initially, but for now, it's not a big deal.
Working on customizing the wordpress gallery with some different settings for different gallery types.
Short of the long is I'm using multiple wp_editors on page and I'm having a focus problem when jumping between editors.
I'm making use of wp.media.view.Settings.Gallery.extend to switch between gallery types and display different js templates.
The functionality is actually all good and gallery shortcodes are going where they need to and being updated as needed.
For certain gallery types I am extending the attachment details with
an extend that looks something like this slimed down version:
var $gal_media = wp.media;
$gal_media.view.Attachment.Details = $gal_media.view.Attachment.Details.extend({
initialize: function(){
this.model.on('change', this.render, this);
},
render: function(){
var check_active_editor = window.wpActiveEditor;
return this;
}
});
The problem lies here when I'm attempting to detect the current editor during the render part of the function with window.wpActiveEditor;
It's working correctly providing you get focus on the current editor but if you just click the gallery preview or edit gallery pencil window.wpActiveEditor; will return the last focused editor.
Tried several different attempts to change focus on the editor in the wp_editor call using on click events during init like so:
'tinymce' => array(
'init_instance_callback' => 'function(gallery_editor) {
gallery_editor.on("click", function(){
tinyMCE.get(gallery_editor.id).focus();
});
}'
)
but they are not called when clicking on the gallery preview or edit.
Any suggestion on either:
1) Getting the proper id?
Obviously the Gallery knows it as it's returning the shortcode to the proper editor.
or
2) Toggling Focus/Blur on Multiple Editors when Gallery Preview or Edit button is pressed.
Much appreciated!
If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation I was able to resolve this issue with an on click callback on my editors that cycles through all the editors and removes the data-mce-selected attribute from any other gallery nodes that were selected.
Then it sets focus on the editor that was just clicked.
Not the prettiest but it's behaving as expected.
The key for me was using tinyMCE.dom.DomQuery
'tinymce' => array(
'init_instance_callback' => 'function(ed) {
ed.on("click", function(){
for (edId in tinyMCE.editors){
if(edId !== ed.id){
var this_editor = tinyMCE.get(edId);
var $ = tinyMCE.dom.DomQuery;
$("div[data-wpview-type]", this_editor.dom.doc).removeAttr("data-mce-selected");
}
}
tinyMCE.get(ed.id).focus();
});
}'
)
I am extending a cloud-hosted LMS with javascript. Therefore, we can add javascript to the page, but cannot modify the vendor javascript for different components.
The LMS uses tinyMCE frequently. The goal is to add a new button on to the toolbar of each tinyMCE editor.
The problem is that since the tinyMCE modules are initialized in the vendor's untouchable code, we cannot modify the init() call. Therefore, we cannot add any text on to the "toolbar" property of the init() object.
So I accomplished this in a moderately hacky way:
tinyMCE.on('AddEditor', function(e){
e.editor.on('init', function(){
tinyMCE.ui.Factory.create({
type: 'button',
icon: 'icon'
}).on('click', function(){
// button pressing logic
})
.renderTo($(e.editor.editorContainer).find('.mce-container-body .mce-toolbar:last .mce-btn-group > div')[0])
});
});
So this works, but needless to say I am not totally comfortable having to look for such a specific location in the DOM like that to insert the button. Although this works, I do not believe it was the creator's intention for it to be used like this.
Is there a proper way to add the button to a toolbar, after initialization, if we cannot modify the initialization code?
I found a more elegant solution, but it still feels a bit like a hack. Here is what I got:
// get an instance of the editor
var editor=tinymce.activeEditor; //or tinymce.editors[0], or loop, whatever
//add a button to the editor buttons
editor.addButton('mysecondbutton', {
text: 'My second button',
icon: false,
onclick: function () {
editor.insertContent(' <b>It\'s my second button!</b> ');
}
});
//the button now becomes
var button=editor.buttons['mysecondbutton'];
//find the buttongroup in the toolbar found in the panel of the theme
var bg=editor.theme.panel.find('toolbar buttongroup')[0];
//without this, the buttons look weird after that
bg._lastRepaintRect=bg._layoutRect;
//append the button to the group
bg.append(button);
I feel like there should be something better than this, but I didn't find it.
Other notes:
the ugly _lastRepaintRect is needed because of the repaint
method, which makes the buttons look ugly regardless if you add new
controls or not
looked in the code, there is no way of adding new controls to the
toolbar without repainting and there is no way to get around it
without the ugly hack
append(b) is equivalent to add(b).renderNew()
you can use the following code to add the button without the hack, but you are shortcircuiting a lot of other stuff:
Code:
bg.add(button);
var buttonElement=bg.items().filter(function(i) { return i.settings.text==button.text; })[0];
var bgElement=bg.getEl('body');
buttonElement.renderTo(bgElement);
I am adding menu item in defult context menu in sharepoint 2007.
I put this code in source editor web pat. This code is not working...
<script type="text/javascript">
function Custom_AddListMenuItems(m, ctx)
{
CAMOpt(m, 'AssetDetails (new window)', 'javascript:window.open(\'http://infpw03403:15000/Lists/Asset%20Repository/DispForm.aspx?ID=' +{ItemId}+'\');' ,'/_layouts/images/LIST.GIF');
return false;
}
</script>
If I replace {ItemId} by 216 or any particular currentItemId, it work.
But my problem have how to get dynamic currentItemId ({ItemId}), which click "AssetDetails (new window)" then will get crossponding details.
or any other method ?
{ItemId} will not work here as it works only in Feature definitions.
Take a look at this article
http://weblogs.asp.net/jan/archive/2009/09.aspx
currentItemID should do the trick.
