Custom pasting into empty datatable

When I'm trying to paste into the empty area within the webix datatable, nothing happens and onPaste event doesn't occur.
Basically, I want to add a new item through onPaste even when existing data items aren't selected. But whether it's possible?
Something like the 'insert' operation in a list, but in my use-case the datatable can be empty after init (in the following sample I've added an item to make clipboard work). Here it is:
http://webix.com/snippet/9ae6635b
webix.ui({
id:'grid',
view:'datatable',
select:true,
clipboard:'custom',
editable:true,
columns:[
{ id:'id' },
{ id:'name', fillspace:true, editor:"text" },
{ id:'details' }
],
data: [
{ }
],
on:{
onPaste: function(text){
this.add({ id:webix.uid(), name:text })
}
}
});
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I found that 'clipbuffer' has focus only when datatable has the selection. Most probably it is required for data editing, detecting position or whatever. Anyway, the 'clipbuffer' can be focused manually:
var clipEvent = webix.event($$("grid").getNode(), "click", function(){
webix.clipbuffer.focus();
});

Bootstrap-confirmation not respecting options

Just adding the bootstrap-confirmation extension for Bootstrap popover to some buttons on a project. I'm having issues with the options not being respected. I'm trying to get the popups to work as singletons and dismiss when the user clicks outside of them singleton and data-popout options, respectively - both set to true. I'm also not seeing any of my defined callback behavior happening.
I defined the options both in the HTML tags and in a function and neither works. Still getting multiple boxes and they don't dismiss as expected.
My JS is loaded after all other libraries and is in my custom.js file in my footer.
JS is as follows:
$(function() {
$('body').confirmation({
selector: '[data-toggle="confirmation"]',
singleton: true,
popout: true
});
$('.confirmation-callback').confirmation({
onConfirm: function() { alert('confirm') },
onCancel: function() { alert('cancel') }
});
});
An example of the box implemented on a button in my HTML is the following:
<a class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="confirmation" data-singleton="true" data-popout="true"><em class="fa fa-trash"></em></a>
Any pointers would be appreciated. I even changed the default options in the bootstrap-confirmation.js file itself to what I want and still no luck.

Turns out I needed to rearrange a couple things to get this to work. I've left in the last_clicked_id etc stuff as I needed to add that to get the id value of what I'd just clicked.
// Product removal popup logic
var last_clicked_id = null;
var last_clicked_product = null;
$('.btn.btn-danger.btn-confirm').click(function () {
last_clicked_id = $(this).data("id");
last_clicked_product = $(this).data("product");
});
$('.btn.btn-danger.btn-confirm').confirmation({
singleton: true,
popout: true,
onConfirm: function () {
alert("DEBUG: Delete confirmed for id : " + last_clicked_product);
// TODO: Add AJAX to wipe entry and refresh page
},
onCancel: function () {
alert("DEBUG: Delete canceled for id : " + last_clicked_product);
}
});
I was a step ahead of myself with the callback logic which was not getting executed. Fixed by simply adding it to onConfirm: and onCancel: key values in the .confirmation() function. A bit of a RTFM moment there but this was unfortunately not very clear in the documentation.

Global variable in javascript doesn't work as expected

here is the code, I have a menu global variable inside the function. I want to use it outside it, but then I get an "undefined reference error...·
This is the only javascript code I have, so there's no interference with another variables or functions.
Thanks in advance.
$(function() {
menu = $('nav#menu').mmenu(
{
navbars: [
{
position: "top",
height : 1,
content : [
'',
'<img src="imagenes/wheel32.png" /><p class="navbartxt">bicimap.uy</p>',
]
},
{
position: "bottom",
content: [
'<a class="fa fa-envelope"></a>',
'<a class="fa fa-twitter"></a>',
'<a class="fa fa-facebook"></a>'
]
}
],
extensions: ["multiline"],
onClick: {
close: false
},
navbar:{
title: "Inicio"
},
offCanvas: {
zposition : "next"
}
});
});
I need to put this inside the function to get it working
var API = $("#menu").data( "mmenu" );
menu.on( 'click', 'a[class^="fa fa-twitter"]', function() {
$('#twitter').show();
var API = $("#menu").data( "mmenu" );
API.close();
return false;
});

I'm lacking some context here (I'm assuming there's more we don't see?)
But you may be executing the latter snippet, menu.on( 'click'… before the code inside $(…) has run (on dom ready); so menu would be undefined.
If you're just getting started, it's worth looking into your browser's developer tools and learning about break points and logging.
You'll need to make sure that you use menu only after it's been set, likely by delaying all your invocation to be on ready.
Execution Order
The $ is called and the function is provided as the first and only argument. The function itself is not called.
API is defined by the result of $("#menu") This may or may not be found yet depending upon where in the html file you've added this script.
The data method is invoked on the result of that
You try to call on on menu, which is still undefined
sometime later, the function you passed to $ is called, and menu ends up being defined, to late to be useful

If your closure/anonymous function is happening asynchonously, its possible that the work has not been done by the time the rest of your code is computed. I would need more context to determine that.

This is the solution I found, maybe it's not the best because it could bring problems. For some reason the ready function doesn't work as is shown above, maybe some assets are being expected.
menu = null;
$(function() {
menu = $('nav#menu').mmenu(
{
navbars : [{
position: "top",
height : 1,
content : [
'<img src="imagenes/wheel32.png" /><p class="navbartxt">bicimap.uy</p>',
]
},
{
position: "bottom",
content: [
'<a class="fa fa-envelope"></a>',
'<a class="fa fa-twitter"></a>',
'<a class="fa fa-facebook"></a>'
]
}
],
extensions: ["multiline"],
onClick: {
close: false
},
navbar:{
title: "Inicio"
},
offCanvas: {
zposition : "next"
}
});
});
$( window ).load(function() {
var API = $("#menu").data( "mmenu" );
menu.on( 'click', 'a[class^="fa fa-twitter"]', function() {
$('#twitter').show();
var API = $("#menu").data( "mmenu" );
API.close();
return false;
}
);
});

Bootstrap tooltip disappears after second 'show'

I want to produce a manual tooltip based upon some user input. The easiest way was to hide all tooltips and then show the relevent ones.
I've reduced my code down to the bare essentials, and my tooltip keeps disappearing after the second "show".
I'm using bootstrap 3.3.4 and jquery 2.1.3
Is there a problem with doing a show immediatly after a hide or am I missing something in my code?
<input id="check" type="checkbox">
<script>
var toolTipData = {
placement: 'right',
title: 'Checkmark checked',
trigger: "manual"
};
$('#check').tooltip(toolTipData);
$(document).on('change', '#check', function () {
$('#check').tooltip("hide");
if (document.getElementById("check").checked) {
$('#check').tooltip("show");
}
});
</script>
Here's a jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/bbrally/4b9g0abh/

You're experiencing a race condition between when the "hide" event happens and when the "show" event happens. Per the documentation the "hide/show" events actually return to the caller before the "hidden/shown" events fire.
http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#tooltips
Scroll down to the "Methods" section under tooltips
...Returns to the caller before the tooltip has actually been hidden...
...Returns to the caller before the tooltip has actually been shown...
I'm not suggesting the code below is a solution (though, it might be good enough?), but an explanation as to what you're running into. Specifically the timeout value of 250ms will slow it down enough such that it works as you're intending.
var toolTipData = {
placement: 'right',
title: 'Checkmark checked',
trigger: "manual"
};
$('#check').tooltip(toolTipData);
$(document).on('change', '#check', function () {
$('#check').tooltip("hide");
if (document.getElementById("check").checked) {
setTimeout(function() {
$('#check').tooltip("show");
}, 250);
}
});
Hope this helps.

$(document).on('change', '#check', function () {
if (document.getElementById("check").checked) {
$('#check').tooltip("show");
}
else{
$('#check').tooltip("hide");
}
});
It was trying to hide, even though it shouldn't, separate both cases.

Using showModalDialog together with Selections

I need to use the showModalDialog method to display a message to a user, which will also need to have two buttons, a "Yes" and "No" but unsure how to approach this method.
I am using IE8 and unsure how to declare this and how I need to assign this that will also cater for both "Yes" and "No" options.
If "No" is pressed, I basically want the showModalDialog closed, with no further action required by the user.
If "Yes" is pressed, I then want it to go off and call a JavaScript function.
I have looked online but I can't seem to find any examples relating to what I am after here.
I am seeking links to good examples that relates to my requirement above.

If you are using jQuery, then you would use it's powerfull widget library http://jqueryui.com
DEMO: http://so.devilmaycode.it/help-with-showmodaldialog-together-with-selections
IMPLEMENTATION:
$(function() {
var external_data = "i'm outside the func";
$('.show-modal-dialog').click(function(e) {
var internal_data = "i'm inside the call";
var a = this;
e.preventDefault();
$("#dialog-message").dialog({
title: 'this is a modal dialog',
modal: true,
open: function(event, ui) {
$(this).append(a.href); //append inside the Dialog it self
},
buttons: {
'Yes': function() {
alert(a.href + ' ' + external_data + ' ' + internal_data);
},
'No': function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
});
});
BODY:
<div id="dialog-message"><p>Lorem Ipsum Est</p></div>
<a class="show-modal-dialog" href="http://www.google.it">Show Modal Dialog</a>

If you are using jquery.ui you, checkout this sample. If you don't want to use jquery.ui, take a look at Block.UI plugin.
