[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
Hello all, I am working on a new version for this plugin to tackle the problems mentioned here and those received by email. I created a new group for this plugin to better organise this project. Here I describe the current status and where it is going: http://groups.google.com/group/jqueryfinder/browse_thread/thread/62358226be1ff4fa Please post at the new group for all questions and feedback regarding this plugin. http://groups.google.com/group/jqueryfinder
[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
Has anyone tried to include a multi-select option with jQuery Finder? I'm thinking of trying checkboxes and adding a method that returns the selected items.
[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
I am having a difficult time using the select method in the onInit
callback.
I am creating an array of items and then calling select as follows:
onInit: function(finderObj) {
var itemsToSelect = [href/item1, href/item2];
$(this).finder(select, itemsToSelect);
}
When this code is run, I get the following error in the Firebug
console:
uncaught exception: jQuery Finder: Target element does not exist
I then added the same code that is on the finder demo for the Select
Item button, modified it a little to parse a comma separated list,
pasted href/item1, href/item2 into the dialog and the correct items
were selected.
Any idea of what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Doug

Tor,
To select an item when the finder is created you can use the public
method $('some').finder('select', URLS_ARRAY or URL_STRING or
DOM_ELEMENTS ). Call this method on the onInit callback.
There is no function that returns some sort of path for the current
page. I believe it would be easy to hack one yourself, something like:
var path = [];
$('div.ui-finder').find('li.ui-finder-list-item-active a').each
(function(){
path.push( $(this).attr('href') );
});
path // = [ 'level1.html', 'level2.html', 'level3.html' ]
So, you could store the array as a cookie (in string format of course)
on window.onunload and then on load..
$('some').finder({
onInit: function(){ $(this).finder('select',path_as_array) }
})
I'm sure there are many ways to achieve this, but the two main things
to keep in mind is that
1. you can pass an array of urls to .finder('select', ... ) and it
will select them in that order; and
2. you can select the current path by using the path function I
provided above
Hope this makes sense

[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
Nicolas,
I'm having a problem:
Starting up the finder is going smoothly, but on selecting anything
I'm getting an error -- no display, the only thing in the new column
is error. All my lists are being generated using very simple PHP ...
so clicking on a link in the first column loads a page with a ul
list on it. All the list items are enclosed in anchor tags.
Help!
Here's my code:
script type=text/javascript
$(function() {
$('#finder').finder({title : 'Industry Segment Grid',
onItemSelect :
function(listItem,eventTarget,finderObject){
var anchor =
$('a',listItem),
href =
anchor.attr('rel');
},
onFolderSelect :
function(listItem,eventTarget,finderObject){
var anchor =
$('a',listItem),
href =
anchor.attr('rel');
},
onItemOpen :
function(listItem,newColumn,finderObject){
var anchor =
$('a',listItem),
href =
anchor.attr('href');
},
onFolderOpen :
function(listItem,newColumn,finderObject){
var anchor =
$('a',listItem),
href =
anchor.attr('href');
}
});
});
/script
body
ol id=finder
?
foreach($industrylist as $row)
{
echo li class=\ui-finder-folder\a href=\/index.php/
industry_segment/child/ . $row['id'] . \ . $row
['industry_name'] . /a/li\n;
}
?
/ol
/body
cheers,
Nag

OK fixed now thanks for the tip. onItemSelect should return undefined rather than false (default setting) to show info.

Ok, first public version of jQuery Finder is now available. I've fixed a few bugs and added/changed some methods.

[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
I've been working on this for a while today. I added the functionality Cliff requested, works like a charm. So now you can get all your data via xml or json or whatever, create a nested list and then call the finder function on that list to create a finder. I haven't uploaded this yet, I will in the following couple of days. I want to use jquery 1.3 for this plugin as it will save me a few lines of code, especially the closest function. Since I'm going to be doing this I figured to also make use of the themeroller and make it theme-able. Any suggestions on how to best tackle this? Are there any special requirements? Any jQuery UI people around here?

@ Adam, Unfortunately no, I haven't done any testing on IE = no fixing. I imagine that it's not a lot of work to be done, mostly setting height: 1% to most of the elements and perhaps adding some width properties. I'm on a mac so testing on IE is not easy for me.

Super plug-in! the first thing that came to mind when I tried it out was the new jQuery 1.3 API...
[jQuery] Re: New Plugin: jQuery Finder (Mac-style 'Treeview' with Columns)
Yes I know, I haven't tested it on IE and I have done nothing for supporting it (no css hacks or conditional comments). I am sure that it has some issues, especially with CSS support. Hopefully the issues are just css related and don't break the plugin's functionality. As the CMS, that's the purpose I'm using it. One for seeing already existing 'pages' and stuff, and two for file management (when linking to stuff, inserting images etc). Although I find it much easier that normal treeview navigation, I am not sure if others agree as I haven't asked and/or tested it properly. That's also why I'm posting it here :) Thanks for replying, I'll be glad to see your contribution.
