How can I recreate Squarespace's Product Quick View in standard Product View?

Overview
So I'm trying to take functionality from one part of Squarespace's Galapagos commerce template and add it to another but it's proving to be more difficult than I thought.
I need the image-swapping capability of the "Quick View" (example - mouse over any image and click Quick View ) to replace the column of full sized zoomable images in the "Product View" (example - you see this once you click on a product).
So I found the code for each section:
Product View
This code simply goes through each image in the array and spits it out with the id jsProductItemImages which allows it to be hovered and zoomed.
<div class="productitem-images" id="jsProductItemImages">
{.repeated section items}
{.image?}
<div class="productitem-image-zoom-wrapper sqs-image-zoom-area"><img data-load="false" class="productitem-image loading" {#|image-meta} /></div>
{.end}
{.video?}
{#|video}
{.end}
{.end}
</div>
Quick View
I'm not 100% on the logic here, but essentially it's grabbing the first image and making it a hover/zoomable primary image then listing the entire array of images beneath it as thumbnails. I read that the # symbol is the equivalent of saying this in javascript, but I don't get why it's being used to spit out only the first image in the array.
<figure class="ProductItem-gallery">
{.section items}
<div class="ProductItem-gallery-slides">
{.repeated section #}
{.image?}
<div class="ProductItem-gallery-slides-item" data-slide-index="{#index}"><img class="ProductItem-gallery-slides-item-image" data-load="false" {#|image-meta} /></div>
{.end}
{.video?}
{#|video}
{.end}
{.end}
</div>
{.end}
<div class="ProductItem-gallery-thumbnails">
{.if items.1}{.repeated section items}<div class="ProductItem-gallery-thumbnails-item"><img class="ProductItem-gallery-thumbnails-item-image" data-load="false" {#|image-meta} /></div>{.end}{.end}
</div>
</figure>
Associated JS
First off, it should be noted that I went through and console logged every function to see what was giving the Quick View it's functionality - to no avail. Which is subsequently why I'm here. So it's easy to see where the zoom function is originating: the Product View in the Galapagos.ProductItem function on line 103 $imageContainer = Y.one('#jsProductItemImages');
But I don't see anything out of the ordinary pop up when I look at the Quick View. I've got to be missing something!

My Attempts
My first few attempts have been dropping the jsProductItemImages div from the Product view and dumping in the entire figure block from the Quick View then updating the associated css. While it pulls in the images (I can see them in the inspector and they take up space on the page) it shows up as being blank.
I also tried only using the thumbnails section from the Quick View and limiting the Product View to only show the first image by using {.section items.0} but then any thumbnail I clicked wouldn't swap out without writing the script for it (obviously) but I didn't want to write something like that when I know it exists in the code already!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE:
After replacing the product view markup with the quick view markup I ran into these errors
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'all' of null site.js:104
init # site.js:104

Unsure why it's hitting an error with .all because it should be addressing the same array of images in both situations?

There's a few questions buried in the this post but let me answer the Quick View question specifically since that's what you're looking to "fix".
Squarespace uses a modular system of JavaScript/CSS add-ons called "rollups". If you pull the source code you'll see a window object that contains the current configuration of any given page. When visiting a Products page, the system triggers the use of their quick view JS and accommodating CSS file. This is where you'll want to be looking. The JS you're digging into is not relevant to Quick View (I don't believe).
Quick View Rollup JS: http://static.squarespace.com/universal/scripts-compressed/product-quick-view-6a1e5642b473ebbb5944-min.js
Quick View Rollup CSS: http://static.squarespace.com/universal/styles-compressed/product-quick-view-eb4b900ac0155bed2f175aa82e2a7c17-min.css
These rollups are triggered off of JavaScript hooks in the template files. What you'll need to do is experiment with using the Galapagos product template word and word so it has the same classes and data-attributes, and see if that works. It would take far too long to cover all of the details of what you need to do without actually working on the project. I would start here first and see if you can setup your product template to triggers the Quick View JS as is, without customization.

Check if my website is open in another tab

I want to check with JavaScript if the user has already opened my website in another tab in their browser.
It seems I cannot do that with pagevisibility...
The only way I see is to use WebSocket based on a session cookie, and check if the client has more than one socket. But by this way, from current tab, I have to ask my server if this user has a tab opened right next to their current browser tab. It is a little far-fetched!
Maybe with localstorage?

The shorter version with localStorage and Storage listener
<script type="text/javascript">
// Broadcast that you're opening a page.
localStorage.openpages = Date.now();
var onLocalStorageEvent = function(e){
if(e.key == "openpages"){
// Listen if anybody else is opening the same page!
localStorage.page_available = Date.now();
}
if(e.key == "page_available"){
alert("One more page already open");
}
};
window.addEventListener('storage', onLocalStorageEvent, false);
</script>
Update:
Works on page crash as well.

Live demo

Using local storage I created a simple demo that should accomplish what your looking to do. Basically, it simply maintains a count of currently opened windows. When the window is closed the unload events fire and remove it from the total window count.
When you first look at it, you may think there's more going on than there really is. Most of it was a shotty attempt to add logic into who was the "main" window, and who should take over as the "main" window as you closed children. (Hence the setTimeout calls to recheck if it should be promoted to a main window) After some head scratching, I decided it would take too much time to implement and was outside the scope of this question. However, if you have two windows open (Main, and Child) and you close the Main, the child will be promoted to a main.
For the most part you should be able to get the general idea of whats going on and use it for your own implementation.
See it all in action here:
http://jsbin.com/mipanuro/1/edit
Oh yeah, to actually see it in action... Open the link in multiple windows. :)
Update:
I've made the necessary changes to have the the local storage maintain the "main" window. As you close tabs child windows can then become promoted to a main window. There are two ways to control the "main" window state through a parameter passed to the constructor of WindowStateManager. This implementation is much nicer than my previous attempt.
JavaScript:
// noprotect
var statusWindow = document.getElementById('status');
(function (win)
{
//Private variables
var _LOCALSTORAGE_KEY = 'WINDOW_VALIDATION';
var RECHECK_WINDOW_DELAY_MS = 100;
var _initialized = false;
var _isMainWindow = false;
var _unloaded = false;
var _windowArray;
var _windowId;
var _isNewWindowPromotedToMain = false;
var _onWindowUpdated;
function WindowStateManager(isNewWindowPromotedToMain, onWindowUpdated)
{
//this.resetWindows();
_onWindowUpdated = onWindowUpdated;
_isNewWindowPromotedToMain = isNewWindowPromotedToMain;
_windowId = Date.now().toString();
bindUnload();
determineWindowState.call(this);
_initialized = true;
_onWindowUpdated.call(this);
}
//Determine the state of the window
//If its a main or child window
function determineWindowState()
{
var self = this;
var _previousState = _isMainWindow;
_windowArray = localStorage.getItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY);
if (_windowArray === null || _windowArray === "NaN")
{
_windowArray = [];
}
else
{
_windowArray = JSON.parse(_windowArray);
}
if (_initialized)
{
//Determine if this window should be promoted
if (_windowArray.length <= 1 ||
(_isNewWindowPromotedToMain ? _windowArray[_windowArray.length - 1] : _windowArray[0]) === _windowId)
{
_isMainWindow = true;
}
else
{
_isMainWindow = false;
}
}
else
{
if (_windowArray.length === 0)
{
_isMainWindow = true;
_windowArray[0] = _windowId;
localStorage.setItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY, JSON.stringify(_windowArray));
}
else
{
_isMainWindow = false;
_windowArray.push(_windowId);
localStorage.setItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY, JSON.stringify(_windowArray));
}
}
//If the window state has been updated invoke callback
if (_previousState !== _isMainWindow)
{
_onWindowUpdated.call(this);
}
//Perform a recheck of the window on a delay
setTimeout(function()
{
determineWindowState.call(self);
}, RECHECK_WINDOW_DELAY_MS);
}
//Remove the window from the global count
function removeWindow()
{
var __windowArray = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY));
for (var i = 0, length = __windowArray.length; i < length; i++)
{
if (__windowArray[i] === _windowId)
{
__windowArray.splice(i, 1);
break;
}
}
//Update the local storage with the new array
localStorage.setItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY, JSON.stringify(__windowArray));
}
//Bind unloading events
function bindUnload()
{
win.addEventListener('beforeunload', function ()
{
if (!_unloaded)
{
removeWindow();
}
});
win.addEventListener('unload', function ()
{
if (!_unloaded)
{
removeWindow();
}
});
}
WindowStateManager.prototype.isMainWindow = function ()
{
return _isMainWindow;
};
WindowStateManager.prototype.resetWindows = function ()
{
localStorage.removeItem(_LOCALSTORAGE_KEY);
};
win.WindowStateManager = WindowStateManager;
})(window);
var WindowStateManager = new WindowStateManager(false, windowUpdated);
function windowUpdated()
{
//"this" is a reference to the WindowStateManager
statusWindow.className = (this.isMainWindow() ? 'main' : 'child');
}
//Resets the count in case something goes wrong in code
//WindowStateManager.resetWindows()

(2021) You can use BroadcastChannel to communicate between tabs of the same origin.
For example, put the following at the top level of your js code, then test by opening 2 tabs:
const bc = new BroadcastChannel("my-awesome-site");
bc.onmessage = (event) => {
if (event.data === `Am I the first?`) {
bc.postMessage(`No you're not.`);
alert(`Another tab of this site just got opened`);
}
if (event.data === `No you're not.`) {
alert(`An instance of this site is already running`);
}
};
bc.postMessage(`Am I the first?`);

I know it is late, but maybe help someone
This snippet of code, will detect how many tabs are open and how many are active (visible) and if none of tabs is active, it will choose last opened tab, as active one.
This code will handle windows/tab crash too and it will refresh the count at crash.
Because localStorage is not supported on Stack Overflow currently, please test here.

GetElementbyID fails to fire

From my reading here I would expect this code to work, but it doesn't. I have tried two ways to add click events to a button called "lonext". Neither work. I'm not sure why this might be?
window.onload = function() {
var goSC = function() { //go to the sucess criteria section
document.getElementsByClassName("guidance1").style.display = "none";
document.getElementsByClassName("guidance2").style.display = "";
alert("button clicked");
//first try
document.getElementById("lonext").addEventListener("click", function() {
goSC();
}, false);
//second try
document.getElementById("lonext").onclick = goSC;
}

The getElementsByClassName returns an NodeList because you could have many elements in your DOM with the same class, not a single element.
So:
var goSC = function() {
var guidance1 = document.getElementsByClassName("guidance1");
for (var i = 0; i < guidance1.length; i++) {
guidance[i].style.display = "none";
}
var guidance2 = document.getElementsByClassName("guidance2");
for (var i = 0; i < guidance2.length; i++) {
guidance[i].style.display = "";
}
alert("button clicked");
});
window.onload = function() {
document.getElementById("lonext").onclick = goSC;
};
which if you used jQuery could be simplified to:
$(function() {
$('#lonext').click(function() {
$('.guidance1').hide();
$('.guidance2').show();
});
});
I would also strongly recommend you using a javascript debugging tool such as FireBug or Chrome Developer toolbar to inspect your javascript code and see potential errors with it. The Console tab will contain valuable information about possible errors in your javascript code.

Ajax having more than one url feed

I have three URLs that return different JSON responses (say user mobiles, addresses and emails) being populated from different beans.
url='/mobile.do?username=x&password=y'
url='/email.do?username=x&password=y'
url='/address.do?username=x&password=y'
For the following autocomplete plugin (fcbkcomplete):
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#mySelect").fcbkcomplete({
json_url: "?!!",
});
});
</script>
Now I want to use these URLs to populate and add data to a single field rather than three different fields. Hence, somehow I need to mix these URL or something like this.
I was wondering what is the best way for this? Can we set more than one URLs or something?

You could modify the plugin, by changing the function load_feed. This isn't tested, so might need some tweeking.
function load_feed(etext) {
counter = 0;
if (options.json_url_list && maxItems()) {
if (options.cache && json_cache_object.get(etext)) {
addMembers(etext);
bindEvents();
} else {
getBoxTimeout++;
var getBoxTimeoutValue = getBoxTimeout;
setTimeout(function () {
if (getBoxTimeoutValue != getBoxTimeout) return;
var count = 0;
var all_data = [];
var finished = function () {
if (!isactive) return; // prevents opening the selection again after the focus is already off
json_cache_object.set(etext, 1);
bindEvents();
};
for (var i = 0; i < options.json_url_list.length; i++) {
$.getJSON(options.json_url_list[i], {
"tag": xssDisplay(etext)
}, function (data) {
addMembers(etext, data);
count += 1;
if (count === options.json_url_list.length) finished();
});
}
}, options.delay);
}
} else {
addMembers(etext);
bindEvents();
}
}

How to click a Button with specific text?

I am trying to modify the script below to click a button that looks like this on a site:
<button id="checkPrice-02070" onclick="checkPrice(02070,null); return false;" class="orangeDark">
<span>check price</span>
</button>
I am using the code below. So far, the page seems to keep reloading; nothing else happens.
Any advice to someone new?
(function () {
window.addEventListener("load", function (e) {
clickConfirmButton()
}, false);
})();
function clickConfirmButton() {
var buttons = document.getElementsByTagName('button');
var clicked = false;
for (var index = 0; (index < buttons.length); index++) {
if (buttons[index].value == "check price") {
buttons[index].click();
clicked = true;
break;
}
}
if (!clicked) {
setTimeout("window.location.reload()", 300 * 1000);
}
}

A <button>s value is not the visible text. You'd want to search textContent.
However:
If that sample HTML is correct, you'd be better off searching for ids that start with checkPrice. See the code below.
Are you sure you want to reload if the button is not found? If it is added by AJAX this is not the best approach. See this answer.
Don't use setTimeout with a string (to evaluate) argument like that. See the code below.
You do not need to wrap the code in an anonymous function.
Anyway, this should work, given the sample HTML:
window.addEventListener ("load", clickConfirmButton, false);
function clickConfirmButton (zEvent) {
var button = document.querySelector ("button[id^='checkPrice']");
if (button) {
button.click ();
}
else {
setTimeout (function () { location.reload(); }, 300 * 1000);
}
}
To check the button text anyway, use:
function clickConfirmButton (zEvent) {
var buttons = document.querySelectorAll ("button[id^='checkPrice']");
var clicked = false;
for (var index = 0, numBtn = buttons.length; index < numBtn; ++index) {
if (/check price/i.test (buttons[index].textContent) ) {
buttons[index].click();
clicked = true;
break;
}
}
if (!clicked) {
setTimeout (function () { location.reload(); }, 300 * 1000);
}
}
