How to trigger default rendering in Sharepoint 2013 List View via JS Link

I'm building a custom layout for a SharePoint list via JS Link...
At the moment I'm rendering all by myself, but for some more complex items (Taxonomy, URLs, etc.) it would be great to be able to trigger the custom rendering of SharePoint.
Is this possible somehow for single field types?
var csListView = csListView || {};
csListView.ListBody = '<div class="datagrid"><table><thead>{LIST_HEADER}</thead>{LIST_BODY}<tfoot><tr><td colspan="{FIELD_COUNT}"><div class="paging">{PAGINATION}</div></td></tr></tfoot></table></div>';
csListView.HeaderRow = '<tr>{HEADER_ITEMS}</tr>';
csListView.HeaderItem = '<th>{HEADER_ITEM}</th>';
csListView.BodyRow = '<tr class="{ALT_CLASS}">{LIST_ITEMS}</tr>';
csListView.BodyItem = '<td>{LIST_ITEM}</td>';
csListView.CustomizeFieldRendering = function ()
{
var fieldJsLinkOverride = {};
fieldJsLinkOverride.Templates = {};
fieldJsLinkOverride.Templates.Body = csListView.RenderBody;
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(fieldJsLinkOverride);
};
csListView.RenderBody = function (ctx) {
var colspan = ctx.ListSchema.Field.length;
var html = '';
var itemHtml = '';
var itemsHtml = '';
var rowHtml = '';
var bodyHtml = '';
var paginationHtml = '';
var headerItemsHtml = '';
var headerHtml = '';
//Render Header fields
for (var i = 0; i < ctx.ListSchema.Field.length; i++) {
var sortUrl = location.search + '?SortField=' + ctx.ListSchema.Field[i].RealFieldName + '&SortDir=Desc';//ctx.HttpRoot + ctx.listUrlDir + '/&' + ctx.ListSchema.FieldSortParam
var item = '' + ctx.ListSchema.Field[i].DisplayName + '';
headerItemsHtml += csListView.HeaderItem.replace('{HEADER_ITEM}', ctx.ListSchema.Field[i].DisplayName);
}
headerHtml = csListView.HeaderRow.replace('{HEADER_ITEMS}', headerItemsHtml);
//Go through all rows
for (var i = 0; i < ctx.ListData.Row.length; i++) {
var cssClass = (i % 2 == 0) ? 'alt' : '';
//Go through all fields
itemsHtml = '';
for (var j = 0; j < ctx.ListSchema.Field.length; j++) {
var item = csListView.renderField(ctx, ctx.ListSchema.Field[j], ctx.ListData.Row[i]);
itemHtml = csListView.BodyItem.replace('{LIST_ITEM}',item);
itemsHtml += itemHtml;
}
rowHtml = csListView.BodyRow.replace('{LIST_ITEMS}',itemsHtml);
rowHtml = rowHtml.replace('{ALT_CLASS}', cssClass);
bodyHtml += rowHtml;
}
html = csListView.ListBody.replace('{LIST_BODY}', bodyHtml);
html = html.replace('{PAGINATION}', renderPaging(ctx));
html = html.replace('{FIELD_COUNT}', colspan);
html = html.replace('{LIST_HEADER}', headerHtml);
return html;
};
csListView.renderField = function (ctx, fieldData, rowData) {
return rowData[fieldData.RealFieldName];
}

To change a the view of a field you could use this
var ctx = {};
ctx.Templates = {};
ctx.Templates.Fields = {'ColumnName': { 'View' : '<b><#=ctx.CurrentItem.ColumnName#></b>' }};
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(ctx);
Does that answer your question?

Run jQuery code after AJAX jQuery load()

How can i run the below code only after the code 1 has load all its content from the external page ?
jQuery Script tried
//filters
$(window).bind("load", function() {
$(".filters li").on("click", function () {
id = ($(this).data("id")+'').split(',');
filter = $(this).data("filter");
$("#hotel-list .box").hide();
id[0] == "all" && $("#hotel-list .box").show() || id.forEach(function(v){
$('#hotel-list .box[data-'+filter+'*="'+v.trim()+'"]').show();
});
return false;
});
<!-- Count Star Rating -->
var two_stars = $("article[data-stars*='2']").length;
var three_stars = $("article[data-stars*='3']").length;
var four_stars = $("article[data-stars*='4']").length;
var five_stars = $("article[data-stars*='5']").length;
$('.total-three').text(three_stars);
$('.total-four').text(four_stars);
$('.total-five').text(five_stars);
var totals = three_stars + four_stars + five_stars + two_stars;
$('.totals').text(totals);
<!-- Count Board -->
var board_no = $("article[data-board*='No']").length
var board_ro = $("article[data-board*='Room']").length
var board_bb = $("article[data-board*='Breakfast']").length;
var board_fb = $("article[data-board*='Full Board']").length
var board_hb = $("article[data-board*='Half']").length
var board_ai = $("article[data-board*='All']").length
var board_sc = $("article[data-board*='Self']").length
$('.total-ro').text(board_ro);
$('.total-bb').text(board_bb);
$('.total-fb').text(board_fb);
$('.total-hb').text(board_hb);
$('.total-ai').text(board_ai);
$('.total-sc').text(board_sc);
var total = board_ro + board_bb + board_fb + board_hb + board_ai + board_sc + board_no;
$('.total').text(total);
//Fix broken images
fixBrokenImages = function( url ){
var img = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
var i=0, l=img.length;
for(;i<l;i++){
var t = img[i];
if(t.naturalWidth === 0){
//this image is broken
t.src = url;
}
}
}
window.onload = function() {
fixBrokenImages('images/noimg.png');
}
});
And the jQuery AJAX code is:
var datastring = location.search; // now you can update this var and use
$("#hotel-list").load("Rezults2.php"+ datastring + " #hotel-list> *");
So i need that the 1st codes to be executed only after the 2nd code has done its job ( from 3 to 9 secs )
ANy ideea on this ?

function runThisAfter() {
var two_stars = $("article[data-stars*='2']").length;
var three_stars = $("article[data-stars*='3']").length;
var four_stars = $("article[data-stars*='4']").length;
var five_stars = $("article[data-stars*='5']").length;
//etc...
}
$("#hotel-list").load("Rezults2.php", function(){ runThisAfter(); });
This will run "runThisAfter()" when load is complete.

Solution is:
$(document).ajaxComplete(function( event, xhr, settings ) {
// Your complete function here
});
Or in my Case full code:
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(event, xhr, settings) {
//Count STARS
var two_stars = $("article[data-stars*='2']").length;
var three_stars = $("article[data-stars*='3']").length;
var four_stars = $("article[data-stars*='4']").length;
var five_stars = $("article[data-stars*='5']").length;
$('.total-three').text(three_stars);
$('.total-four').text(four_stars);
$('.total-five').text(five_stars);
var totals = three_stars + four_stars + five_stars +
two_stars;
$('.totals').text(totals);
//COUNT BOARD
var board_no = $("article[data-board*='No']").length
var board_ro = $("article[data-board*='Room']").length
var board_bb = $("article[data-board*='Breakfast']").length;
var board_fb = $("article[data-board*='Full Board']").length
var board_hb = $("article[data-board*='Half']").length
var board_ai = $("article[data-board*='All']").length
var board_sc = $("article[data-board*='Self']").length
$('.total-ro').text(board_ro);
$('.total-bb').text(board_bb);
$('.total-fb').text(board_fb);
$('.total-hb').text(board_hb);
$('.total-ai').text(board_ai);
$('.total-sc').text(board_sc);
var total = board_ro + board_bb + board_fb + board_hb +
board_ai + board_sc + board_no;
$('.total').text(total);
//Fix broken images
fixBrokenImages = function(url) {
var img = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
var i = 0,
l = img.length;
for (; i < l; i++) {
var t = img[i];
if (t.naturalWidth === 0) {
//this image is broken
t.src = url;
}
}
}
window.onload = function() {
fixBrokenImages('images/noimg.png');
}
});
});

Codeigniter Auto completion is not working

Hello Auto completion is not working well in my application.When we type a name it displays only a blank list[ Screenshots attached ].
Controller Code
public function list_UserByName($letters)
{
if(strpos($letters, ","))
{
$letters1 = explode(",",$letters);
$lecount = count($letters1);
$letters = $letters1[$lecount-1];
}
$letters = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9 ]/si","",$letters);
$response=$this->user_model->getAutoUserList($letters);
}
Model Code
public function getAutoUserList($letters)
{
$letters = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9 ]/si","",$letters);
//AND user_type='C' AND user_status='A'
$query="select * from gm_users where uname Like '%$letters%'";
$result_query =$this->db->query($query);
foreach($result_query->result() as $result)
{
//echo "###".$result."|";
//$pinlevel =$this->functions->get_pinlevel($result->pinLevel);
//echo $result->userId."###".$result->uname." [ ".$pinlevel." ] "."|";
echo $result->userId."###".$result->uname."".$result->address." ".$result->city."|";

Am a beginner in php as well as Codeigniter

Just echo your data in your controller
change
$response=$this->user_model->getAutoUserList($letters);
To
echo $this->user_model->getAutoUserList($letters);

change
onkeyup="ajax_showOptions(this,'getCountriesByLetters',event);
to
onkeyup="ajax_showOptions(this,'list_UserByName',event);
there is a question on this topic on stackoverflow, but an entire different process.

Javascript XML same element name

I have an XML file containing the same element name more than once, like below. I can only retrieve the first one. Would like to know how to retrieve all 4 "comments" using JavaScript. Thanks!
<FRIENDSSTATUS>
<STATUSFRIENDS id="2">
<STATUS>Life begins at the end of your comfort zone</STATUS>
<DATETIME>2012-10-30 10:32:28</DATETIME>
<FIRSTNAME>Malcolm</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME>Landgraab</LASTNAME>
<COMMENTS datetime="2012-11-18 22:13:28" firstname="Ian" lastname="Tellerman">rr</COMMENTS>
<COMMENTS datetime="2012-11-18 22:13:39" firstname="Ian" lastname="Tellerman">hello</COMMENTS>
<COMMENTS datetime="2012-11-19 14:36:24" firstname="Ian" lastname="Tellerman">test</COMMENTS>
<COMMENTS datetime="2012-11-19 14:45:52" firstname="Ian" lastname="Tellerman">test4</COMMENTS>
</STATUSFRIENDS>
<STATUSFRIENDS id="3">
<STATUS>Prometheus. Fantastic film!!!!</STATUS>
<DATETIME>2012-10-30 10:32:28</DATETIME>
<FIRSTNAME>Mansa</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME>Bendett</LASTNAME>
<COMMENTS datetime="2012-11-18 22:14:46" firstname="Ian" lastname="Tellerman">wrong</COMMENTS>
</STATUSFRIENDS>
</FRIENDSSTATUS>
The javascript codes:
xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML;
$table = "<table border='1'>";
var element = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("FRIENDSSTATUS");
var elements = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("STATUSFRIENDS");
var comments = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("COMMENTS");
if(xmlDoc.documentElement !== null)
{
var root;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > 0 )
var root = element[0].childElementCount;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > 0 )
var root = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.length;
for(i=0; i<root; i++){
$strStats = "";
$strComments = "";
$strDateTime = "";
$strFirstname = "";
$strLastname = "";
$strCommentDateTime = "";
$strCommentFirstName = "";
$strCommentLastName = "";
$strStatusID = "";
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > 0 ){
for(y=0;y < elements[i].childElementCount;y++)
{
$strStatusID = elements[i].getAttribute("id");
if(strStatus = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("STATUS"))
{
$strStats = strStatus[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(strStatus = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("DATETIME"))
{
$strDateTime = strStatus[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(strStatus = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("FIRSTNAME"))
{
$strFirstname = strStatus[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(strStatus = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("LASTNAME"))
{
$strLastname = strStatus[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}
if(strComm = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("COMMENTS"))
{
$strComments = strComm[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
$strCommentDateTime = comments[i].getAttribute("datetime");
$strCommentFirstName = comments[i].getAttribute("firstname");
$strCommentLastName = comments[i].getAttribute("lastname");
$strComments += "<br>" + $strCommentFirstName + " " + $strCommentLastName + " " + $strCommentDateTime + "</br></br>";
}
$strStats = $strStats + " " + $strLastname + " " + $strFirstname + " " + $strDateTime;
$strFullName = $strFirstname + " " + $strLastname;
$strDateTime = "";
$strFirstname = "";
$strLastname = "";
}
}

Assign your XML to a variable, (myXmlString in this example), and read it as follows:
var parser=new DOMParser();
doc=parser.parseFromString(myXmlString,'text/xml');
var comments = doc.getElementsByTagName("COMMENTS") // Returns a array of those "comments".

An example of how to access the comments of the first STATUSFRIENDS. jsFiddle demo here.
var parseXml;
if (typeof window.DOMParser != "undefined") {
parseXml = function(xmlStr) {
return ( new window.DOMParser() ).parseFromString(xmlStr, "text/xml");
};
} else if (typeof window.ActiveXObject != "undefined" &&
new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")) {
parseXml = function(xmlStr) {
var xmlDoc = new window.ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.async = "false";
xmlDoc.loadXML(xmlStr);
return xmlDoc;
};
} else {
throw new Error("No XML parser found");
}
var xml = parseXml(xmlStr); // assuming xmlStr contains your XML
var commentsList = xml.documentElement.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("COMMENTS");
var output = "";
for(var i=0; i<commentsList.length; i++)
{
output += commentsList[i].firstChild.nodeValue + "<br />";
}
document.getElementById("comments").innerHTML = output;

Something like this:
var str = 'your XML as a string',
parser, xml;
if (window.DOMParser) {
parser = new DOMParser();
xml = parser.parseFromString(str, "text/xml");
}
else { // IE
xml = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml.async = "false";
xml.loadXML(str);
}
var nodes = xml.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName('COMMENTS');
var i, l = nodes.length, comments = [];
for (i = 0; i < l; i++) {
comments.push({
firstname: nodes[i].getAttribute('firstname'),
lastname: nodes[i].getAttribute('lastname'),
datetime: nodes[i].getAttribute('datetime'),
content: nodes[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue
});
}
console.log(comments);

I don't have time to post a full code sample, but JS supports XPath and you can get the Comments with this Qpath query:
/FRIENDSSTATUS/STATUSFRIENDS[#id="3"]/COMMENTS
Here is where I tested the Xpath syntax: http://chris.photobooks.com/xml/default.htm

JQGrid MultiSelect getting the column data

Is there a way for the JQGrid to return an array of column Data for using multiSelect as opposed to just an array of rowIds ?
At the moment I can only return the last column data that was selected.
jQuery("#buttonSelected").click(function() {

Use getRowData to get the data for each row:
var rowData = $("#relatedSearchGrid").getRowData(ids[i]);
var colData = rowData.Name_Of_Your_Column;

var userListjqGrid = $('#UserListGrid'),
selRowId = userListjqGrid.jqGrid('getGridParam', 'selrow'),
userId = userListjqGrid.jqGrid('getCell', selRowId, 'UserId'),
userName = userListjqGrid.jqGrid('getCell', selRowId, 'UserName'),
subIds = $(subgridTableId).getGridParam('selarrrow'),
accessRuleIds = [];
for (var i = 0; i < subIds.length; i++) {
accessRuleIds[i] = $(subgridTableId).getRowData(subIds[i]).AccessRuleId;
}
