TYPO3: 2 news plugins on 1 page get mixed up - typo3

I have a page that consists of 2 news plugins (extension key = "news", typo3 version = "6.2.38"). I have created those 2 plugins in the backend. Both news plugins have the same folder as their source of articles. I have assigned "categories" to the articles inside the source folder. Now the the first plugin is supposed to show the articles of category "A" and the second plugin is supposed to show the articles of category "B".
Both plugins activated:
If both plugins are activated, all articles ("A" and "B") appear underneath the title of plugin 2. Plugin 1 only shows its title without any articles below it.
Only plugin 2 activated:
I only see articles of category "B" as expected.
Only plugin 1 activated:
I only see articles of category "A" as expected.
EDIT: Here comes the structure of the resulting HTML. "c1" is the content element of the first plugin and "c2" is the content element of the second plugin.
<div id="c1" class="csc-default">
<div class="csc-header csc-header-n1"><h2 class="csc-firstHeader">Articles of plugin 1:</h2></div>
<div class="news">
<div class="news-list-view">
.
. one div for each article
.
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="c2" class="csc-default">
<div class="csc-header csc-header-n1"><h2 class="csc-firstHeader">Articles of plugin 2:</h2></div>
<div class="news">
<div class="news-list-view">
.
. one div for each article
.
</div>
</div>
</div>
It looks like everything is in correct order. However, what I see in the browser is (in this order): 1) "Articles of plugin 1:" 2) "Articles of plugin 2:" 3) ALL the articles of BOTH plugins.

if the HTML provided by the server is correct (as your code shows) the display can be influenced by two things:
CSS
Javascript
invalid HTML
possible problems with CSS can result from floats (or positions), which show content out of order in HTML.
with Javascript you can modify the build DOM, so elements are positioned in other order than originaly given.
Browser try to fix broken HTML, this might result in elements boxed inside each other than in line.
All possibilities can be examined with tools like Firebug. compare the DOM-Code with the original server-code (CTRL-U). Differences result from javascript or invalid HTML (e.g. missing closing tag).
CSS tweaks can be found inspecting the CSS of each element for CSS properties.

How do i get content into my projectpages? (data-url)

I have an issue getting content inside the projectpages. (I literally tried to figure this out for 4 days now, searching the web - i will give my right arm for solving this)
So I have a simple index.html page with 7 projects (7 thumb images representing each portfolio project). When i click on one of the images i would like to get to the page showing its content - i get to the new page /#/WORK1/ but i can't figure out where/how to insert my content in this new url?
You can see the problem at my site here:
awesth.dk
Here is the code i am using for the 7 projects. WORK1, WORK2 etc.
<div id="projectPages">
<div class="project page-project" data-url="/WORK1/" >
<!-- Will be fetched on-demand -->
</div>
...
(So I don't know how I get it to be "fetched on-demand")
And here is the 7 clickable thumbs:
<div id="projectThumbs" >
<div class="wrapper">
<a class="project "href="/WORK1/" >
<div>
<div class="project-image"><div class="intrinsic"><div class="content-fill"><img data-src="/img/upcoming.png" data-image="/img/upcoming.png" data-image-dimensions="2500x1401" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" alt="work" data-load="false"/><noscript><img src="/img/upcoming.png"></noscript></div></div><div class="project-item-count">0</div></div>
<div class="project-title">Titel1</div>
</div>
</a>

Pleaaase help
You need to use write some JavaScript code using JQuery.
There are methods you need:
click() – to add click event handler.
data() – to get value from data attribute.
load() – to load contents from some URL to some element.
UPD
There is an example of using these methods. Does it fit your case?
https://jsfiddle.net/up495fzs/
UPD2
You need to update your HTML code on the server.
Pay attention to data-project-id="1" and id="project-id-1". And update numbers respectively.
In data-url set your relative path. If you want to load WORK1.html file, you should write: data-url='/WORK1.html' (without / at the end).
UPD3
The connection between blocks are made by data-project-id="1" and id="project-id-1" attributes.
I change the way to get url. I leave it in <a href="..."> and removed from <div class="project page-project">.
https://jsfiddle.net/up495fzs/6/
But for now I realised that I don't understand why you need many <div class="project page-project"> elements. Why not to use just one?
https://jsfiddle.net/up495fzs/5/
UPD4
And you need to know about CORS (Cross-origin resource sharing) – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing
You could load contents just from your web site. It'll fail if you will try to load page from external web site.
UPD4
You could use history.pushState(null, null, link.href); to update the URL of the page.
http://diveintohtml5.info/history.html
Updated JSFiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/up495fzs/8/
You won't see URL changes at JSFiddle because it runs in a frame.
Try it on your page.
UPD5
Add link to JQuery library to the <head> of your page but before my script.
Add my script wrapped with $(function() { /* JS code */ }); to execute it properly.
<head>
...
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
...
<script>
$(function() {
/* JS code from JSFiddle */
});
</script>

jQuery Toggle in SharePoint using XSLT, but all the instances toggle not just the clicked one

I am having a problem with my XSLT, I am using SharePoint 2010 and I am building a custom front-end that will pull data from lists and render the data in a nice manner. I have figured out how to use XSLT with HTML to render a SharePoint list, I wasn't able to add an image of my news feeds because my rep is too low but I will get it up!
Now here is where my problem starts:
I am using jQuery toggle to show/hide the body paragraph of this news feed. The Continue Reading button is where my issue is, every time I click on the "Continue Reading" button in the lower right of each news post, it show/hides all the news items, not just the one I click on.
I have tried using Bootstrap collapse and now I am using jQuery Toggle() however I run into the same issue! Take a look at my XSLT code snippet to display thee body paragraph and the corresponding jQuery code snippet that actives the show/hide toggle:
XSLT:
<tr class="spacer">
<td valign="top" class="td-newscontent">
<div class="news content">
<!-- start excerpt -->
<xsl:value-of select="#BodyExcerpt" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
<div class="moving">
<xsl:value-of select="#Body" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</div>
<!-- end news excerpt -->
<!-- start continue reading link -->
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<br class="continue-br" />]]></xsl:text>
<a class="butt pull-right continue-right">Continue Reading</a><br /><br />
<!-- end continue reading link -->
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Javascript (jQuery)
$(".moving").hide();
$(".butt").click(function() {
$(".moving").toggle("slow", function() {
});
});
.moving is the actual #body being shown/hidden
.butt is the "continue reading" button (I know butt was a bad name to use)
I have read a few things on the net about "this" but I am not sure how to use it.
First time posting so I couldn't post any images, but when you click on "continue reading" all the body news articles expand then you click it again and all the body news items contract, what I would like it to do is open just the one I am clicking on!
I have a lot going on, everything is housed in SharePoint, using HTML5, Css3, jQuery and XSLT. I started by using IDs but I switched to classes, not sure if that was a good idea but it functions, but not as intended.
Any help would be appreciative, I have been researching this issue for almost 2 weeks so I finally decided to ask some experts :) (Feel free to ask any questions or ask for more information, I will answer with everything I got!)
You are close, so well done for getting this far! Your problem lies in your JavaScript. If you look at the rendered code using your browser's developer tools (F12), you will find that all of the different body texts have the same class (moving) and all of the buttons have the same JavaScript onclick, which is to toggle everything of class .moving.
Thus the solution you are looking for is to match each button with its respective body text. There are two main ways you can do this.
You can give each text div and each button a unique ID by assigning it to some unique feature of the list item (SharePoint list items already have a unique identifier as the field ID). Using xsl:value-of within HTML attributes would violate XML rules, so you can use something called an Attribute Value Template, which is the bit in the curly braces:
<div id="newstext_{#ID}">
<xsl:value-of select="#Body" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</div>
<!-- etc... -->
<a onclick="$('#newstext_{#ID}').toggle('slow', function() {});">Continue reading</a>
Modify just the JavaScript to target the parent of the button. The following code selects the parent DOM element of the button, which should be the div of class .news, then finds the child of class .moving, then applying your toggle:
$(".butt").click(function() {
$(this).parent().find(".moving").toggle("slow", function() {
});
});
The second method is easier but can get complicated if you end up running a lot of JavaScript. It is easier (and more efficient) to select elements by ID, so personally I think the extra effort is worth it. I haven't tested this code so let me know if it doesn't work. On some of your other points:
no, butt is not a good name for a class - remember, you can use element types in your jQuery selectors, so there is no need to duplicate the type as the class. For example, $('a') selects all the anchor tags on the page.
IDs should be used when elements need to be uniquely identified (e.g. for scripts), classes when you are grouping elements together (e.g. for styles).

Creating Custom Content Element in TYPO3

Cany anybody tell me how to render the following structure in
typo3 without developing a new extension.
<div class="sidebar-details">
<div class="sidebar-details-title">
<h4><span>MY TITLE</span></h4>
</div>
<div class="sidebar-details-body">
<p>
TEXT
</p>
</div>
</div>
What would be the best/recommended way to achieve this ?
Start using gridelements.
Gives you exactly what you want.
http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/gridelements
You can activate the RTE html mode and put it in its source or make use of HTML element, but that's depending on your needs.
If you want to keep RTE functions for editing the text what I mentioned first is the recommended way. Have done it several times myself.
If you are using Template mapping using Templavoila so, you can create FCE(Flexible content element) for it and you can map this part.
If you are using fluid template mapping so, you can create gridelement for it. and map all part.

How to show a cq5 form page in a overlay

I have the code below to show a button in a overlay.
<div class="overlay22" id="overlay22" style="display:none;"></div>
<div class="box22" id="box22">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" class="buttonclick" id="buttonclick" />
</div>
Can we show the cq5 form in the overlay instead of hardcoding in the overlay?
If you are just creating some sort of basic form template or component, I think you should just stick to using regular HTML elements and then control look + feel with CSS. Though if you absolutely needed to use form elements similar to what you see in CQ's dialog windows, you will need to generate them by working with CQ's extension of the Ext JS framework.
For example, if you wanted to create a button analogous to your provided example, you'd have to write something like:
CQ.Ext.onReady( function(){
var button = new CQ.Ext.Button({
text : "Submit",
id : "buttonclick",
cls : "buttonclick",
renderTo : CQ.Ext.getBody(),
listerners : {
click : function(){
// Write handler code here
}
}
});
});
Widget API for latest version of CQ (5.5):
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/widgets-api/index.html
Materials on Sencha Ext JS 3.4 (which I believe 5.5 is built on):
http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/3-4/
We can do in the following way as well,
Say for instance we have a page with default cq5 form component already dragged in that,
Let that page be defined in this path as /content/geometrix/loginpage.html
Now we can show the above page in an overlay, using the below code
<div class="overlay22" id="overlay22" style="display:none;"></div>
<div class="box22" id="box22">
<sling:include path="content/geometrix/loginpage/par" />
</div>
Below that par we can find the contents of the form.Here box22 is the lightbox(pop up) and the overlay22 is the background div

Typo3: adding elements inside an list item <LI>

Im trying to get something like this:
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Some header</h3>
<p>Some text</p>
</li>
</ul>
inside a Text element, but when I try to apply the blocktype to the content of the <li>, it applies it to the whole content.
Im using rtehtmlarea. What can I do?
Strange - this works in my installation. You should check the RTE configuration in page TSconfig. I assume something like this:
RTE.default.proc {
allowTagsOutside = img,hr,[your Tags]
}
Another suggestion is: Disable the Rich Text Editor (there is a checkbox below the textarea), enter your tags, then enable it again. The tag structure should be preserved.
If not, drop me a line, I will post my RTE configuration.
If you need a waterproof solution, try playing around with your RTE.default typoscript.
