I've got a lot of custom buttons on my TinyMCE toolbar, most of which open a dialog box with some further options in when you click them. This all works fine.
Here is an example of something in my tinyMCE_setup() function:
ed.addButton('link2', {
title: '{!link!}',
image: '../style/common/images/link_20x20.png',
onclick: function() {
replyBoxDialog('link', ed);
}
});
However, I want to be able to call these programatically, and faking a .click() on the button with jQuery won't cut it.
I've tried calling the function directly
replyBoxDialog('link',tinyMCE);
But no matter what I try as the second argument, I can't get the right object (so it fails when it's time to insert something into the editor, as it doesn't know what the editor is).
I've also had a try with various execCommand() calls, but I've no idea what to put in there.
Any clues?
All you have to do is to use a real editor object as paramter
var editor_instance = tinymce.activeEditor; // in case you just use one editor
var editor_instance = tinymce.get('my_special_editor_id'); // in case you have more than one editor
replyBoxDialog('link', editor_instance);
I've managed to make it work by creating a variable 'globalEd' at the top of the script and adding globalEd = ed; to tinyMCE_setup(), then I can call replyBoxDialog('dragndrop', globalEd);. This seems like a properly hacky way of doing things though, so I'd welcome any further advice.

I'm working to use custom checkbox styles with a checkbox which is dynamically generated by javascript for the Google Identity Toolkit. For example, we add this div:
<div id="gitkitWidgetDiv"></div>
And the Google Identity Toolkit script generates new html for that div.
I need to add a class to the HTML which is added by the javascript without any action by the user and I'm struggling to make it work. For example, here is my code:
$("#gitkitWidgetDiv").on('ready', ".gitkit-sign-in-options label", function() {
$(this).addClass('checkbox');
});
I've tried switching 'ready' for a few other options and also using the livequery plugin, but nothing is working for me. It works if I use an active event like 'click,' but I can't figure out how to do this when the page loads. Could someone please help? Thanks!
Modern browsers (including IE11) support mutation obervers. You can use one to monitor the parent node of the div that will be added. When the div has been added, just add the class.
Here's something I made which comes in handy in annoying cases like this where it's difficult to tell when the element you need has finished loading in: https://gist.github.com/DanWebb/8b688b31492632b38aea
so after including the function it'd be something like:
var interval = 500,
stopTime = 5000,
loaded = false;
setIntervalTimeout(function() {
if($('.dynanicElementClass').length && !loaded) {
$('.dynanicElementClass').addClass('checkbox');
loaded = true;
}
}, interval, stopTime);
It's not perfect and I'm sure there are better solutions out there but in most cases like this it does the job.
I simply can't find any real documentation on ColdFusion Layout Tabs. For the most part I've got them working, but I'd like to tie some logic to a close event. I was wondering if anyone had a working example they could show me? The catch is that I will need to trigger these events in JavaScript. But if you have a working version in plain ColdFusion, I'd still love to see it!
var tab = ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout("innerTabLayout").activeTab._cf_body;
$('#' + tab).on('close', blah); // doesn't work
tab.on('close', blah) // doesn't work
ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout("innerTabLayout").activeTab._cf_body.onTabClose( function(), blah ); //doesn't work
I have also tried setting the event on tab creation:
var tab = ColdFusion.Layout.createTab();
tab.onTabClose()
tab.on('close');
However, none of these work either. I've tried looking at EXT.JS which is what CFtabs were created from, but I don't seem to have any luck there either.
The Coldfusion.Layout object has a function for tab closing, so there must be a way to trigger it! (I would think, haha).
So after spending some too much messing around with the tab, I've got a solution.
ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout('innerTabLayout').activeTab.on('close', function(e) {
console.log(this) //this will return the tab object
console.log(e)//this also returns the tab object
});
This will trigger the event when the active tab within a parent is closed. I'm interested to see if there's another, better solution.
I'm trying to unbind an event from a specific element and upon research, I found this. Which is useful. In itself. I didn't know you could do that. But:
Is there a way to make it work in a browser/Chrome extension? I'm talking about content scripts.
The reason why this doesn't work the way it's described there is that the website which has attached the event in question with its own script is using a different jQuery object than the one in my extension's includes/ folder. And I can try to search the event via jQuery._data(el, 'click'); but that is my jQuery object, not the one of the website where the events are apparently stored. I'm glad I figured that out after hours of fiddling around.
Or maybe it is possible to access the website's jQuery object itself?
EDIT:
What I'm ultimately trying to achieve works in theory but … it's complicated. The original script uses a plugin event and keeps reinstalling it with .on('mouseleave',….
Anyway, this is what I got thanks to you, pdoherty926:
var $el = $('div.slideshow');
$('h2', $el).click(function(){ console.log('ouch!'); }); // test event
var $slides = $('.slides', $el).detach();
$copy = $el.clone(false);
$slides.prependTo($copy);
$el.replaceWith($copy);
The test event doesn't get triggered but the event I'm actually trying to remove still fires. I can imagine figuring it out, though, now that I got closer to my goal.
Okay, the aforementioned re-installation on mouseleave really messed up this otherwise satisfying suggestion. (The site is using the jQuery Timer plug-in by Cyntaxtech). So here's how I solved it instead: I simply changed the class name (-.-' )
Now the re-installation code cannot find the element anymore.
This is how my finished script looks like:
function stop_happening() {
var $el = $('div.fullwall div.slideshow');
$el
// first, stop the current automation.
.timer('stop') // Timer plug-in
// next, change class name in order to prevent the timer
// from being started again.
.removeClass('slideshow').addClass('slideshow-disabled-automation');
//--- copied some extra code from the website itself for the onclick
// events which are supposed to keep working. I wish I could do *that*
// programmatically but I'm glad I got as far as I got. ---//
// […]
}
We're using CFLayout to create a tab structure in our web application. After creation of that layout we call this function:
mytabs = ColdFusion.Layout.getTabLayout("#attributes.cflayoutName#");
mytabs.on('tabchange',
function(tablayout,tab) {
var tabtitle = tab.title;
alert(tabtitle); // Actual code does various useful 'stuff' here.
}
);
That piece of code works very well, and the alert will show each time the user clicks on a tab.
The problem is that we are now trying to do the same thing with a CFLayout type of "accordion", and I cannot get an event to fire when the user switches which accordion pane they are looking at. We've tried leaving the above as is, as well as changing the "tabchange" attribute to "expand", "beforeexpand", "activate", and "collapse".
For this testing I'm using the following simple JS function to avoid issues arising from the JS within the onchange event:
mytabs = ColdFusion.Layout.getAccordionLayout("#attributes.cflayoutName#");
mytabs.on('expand',
function(tablayout,tab) {
console.log('test');
}
);
We do not receive any errors. Nothing is logged to the console at all. I've tried replacing the console.log to an alert to rule out any problems with that line.
I found that the Ext library documentation to be very helpful with finding a solution to this problem: here.
The Ext library has a getComponent method that allows you to reference the accordion layout panel that you are trying to add the expand event to. Once you have this, you can use the "on" method you are using above to assign the expand event to each panel individually.
for (x=1; x<accordionLayoutArray.length; x++) {
mytabs.getComponent(accordionPanelName).on('expand',
function(tab) { ... });
}
This became too long for a comment so adding as an answer
After some Google searches I found what I think are some related posts. It appears as though the accordion in Ext JS does not have the same events as the tab. Instead you need to add a listener in order to catch the expanding.
See this post - in case something happens to that page here is the relevant piece:
You'd need to listen to the expand event of the child panels in the accordion, you could do something like:
Code:
myAccordion.add(myFunc('myTitle'));
function myFunc(title)
{
return new Ext.Panel(
{
title: title,
listeners: { 'expand': {fn: something, scope: foo}}
}
);
}
And I also found another similar post here on SO - see both answers
Once you know that the accordion needs a listener you can find a number of results on Google. Such as How do I attach an event handler to a panel in extJS?
This Google search will give you lots of examples.
Hope that helps.
when i type something on ie 8, and press 'bold' on toolbar on top of the text editor, the cursor will go to the beginning of the entire text editor. is this bug in tiny mce?
on the other hand, if i select text i typed, and pressed control+b, no problem ; both are fine in firefox,ie6
Have you tried turning off "View->Caret Browsing" in IE8 ? (it is toggled by F7)
That worked for me
I had a similar problem where the image that I wanted to insert was always going to the top of the editor. I solved it by setting the 'onchange_callback' field in the editor's init:
tinyMCE.init({..., onchange_callback: 'updateSelectionBookmark', ...});
This will call my 'updateSelectionBookmark' function when anything is changed on the screen, including the editor being blurred (Read more: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/wiki.php/Configuration:onchange_callback). My updateSelectionBookmark looked something like:
function updateSelectionBookmark (ed) {
ed.updatedSelectionBookmark = ed.selection.getBookmark(1);
}
This will add a custom property to the editor object which will always contain the latest bookmark.
I then make use of the stored bookmark whenever I need to add the content:
ed.selection.moveToBookmark(ed.updatedSelectionBookmark);
I wanted to insert HTML so I put this before my call to the instance command (In my case, mceInsertRawHTML).
I hope this helps someone, even if my answer is a few months late.
Edit (A few months later): So I originally found this solution while working with TinyMCE 3.2.2.3 but we recently updated to 3.4.4 for compatibility with IE9. Looks like the above solution doesn't work as well as I thought it did. I've since found a (as far as I can tell) perfect solution to this. It's similar to the above except when and where to trigger the callback. Instead of using onchange_callback in the settings, you should use the editor's onEvent event:
tinyMCE.init({
...,
setup: function (ed) {
ed.onEvent.add(function (ed, e) {
ed.updatedSelectionBookmark = ed.selection.getBookmark(1);
});
},
...
});
This replaces the need for the updateSelectionBookmark function or the onchange_callback setting. The reason onEvent works better than onChange is because it gets called after any possible event, including mouse or key presses so the cursor's position is guaranteed to be saved even if moved but the content isn't changed.
After setting up the editor with the above event callback, just use moveToBookmark as stated above to restore the selection. I've tested this on IE9, Chrome, FF6, it works when inserting images/text inside text/tables.
I would'nt say that it's a bug in IE8.
A cursor does'nt move by magic, someone(tinymce) put's him somewhere.
So if the cursor does'nt appear at the expected position, it has to be a misbehaviour in tinymce.
But I can't provide a "bugfix", because this not occurs with my IE8(Win7).
What's your environment?
