FBML elements rendering delay - facebook

I am using FBML for rendering certain elements on the page such as the name of the user, profil pic, etc. However when there are many FBML elements on page, there is a slight delay which occurs before they are rendered - that's fine since AJAX calls are made to the server to fetch the data by the JS FB library. However, I want to hide the container DIV holding these element till the elements have finished loading, so is there any way to specify a JS callback function which gets fired when the FBML data has finished loading?

Try FB.Event.subscribe
FB.Event.subscribe('xfbml.render', function(response) {
//xfbml.render is fired when a call to FB.XFBML.parse() completes
});

There is another option for this. First, make sure you have the xfbml=0 parameter set on all embeds. Next, you can use this small bit of jQuery:
window.fbAsyncInit = function(){
FB.XFBML.parse(null,function(){
// all FB embeds are rendered as of this point
});
};

jQuery .live()-functionality for other jQuery methods such as .text()

I have the problem that my jQuery stuff isn't working after a div which includes elements being manipulated by my jQuery code are reloaded by ajax. The jQuery .live function helped me out that at least all my events are triggered. However functions like .text() are still not working. E.g.
$('#idOfElementBeingInDivWhichIsReloadedByAjax').text('New text');
Has anybody suggestions how to cope with this issue?
Edit: The problem is that the web site I'm working on loads its page content with ajax when clicking on a navigation item. All the jQuery functionality works when the sites are visited for the first time. However at the second time the DOM is reloaded and jQuery still uses the original DOM, so methods like .text() don't show changes any more. As mentioned above the .live() method helped me that at least events are still triggered after the second call of a specific page.
The only way to do this, is to make sure that your code is executed after the ajax reload. A common approach is to create a init() function, which are called from the ajax callback function.
$(function(){
$('#myParentAjaxDiv').load('somepage.html', function(){
initStuff();
});
});
function initStuff(){
$('#idOfElementBeingInDivWhichIsReloadedByAjax').text('New text');
}

multiple fancybox on same page

I'm using fancybox with ajax request to open multilpe fancybox instances on same page:
This is html code:
User
and this is Javascript i've used:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(".comment_button_fancy").click(function(){
var element = $(this);
var Ide = element.attr("id");
$("#"+Ide).fancybox();
return false;});});
</script>
Everything could be ok, just 1 problem... first time i load the page, i need to click 2 times over "User" to open fancybox...
If i open fancybox and then i close it, the second time i can click just 1 time...
why?
Thanks
The first click registers the event to the DOM, and the second (and subsequent ones) show the Fancybox.
If using multiple Fancyboxes, you should avoid using ID's like you have there and change it to classes. Not sure why you've got all that code to launch the fancybox, when this should work:
$(".comment_button_fancy").fancybox();
This will Fancybox all elements with the class "comment_button_fancy" and should fix your two-clicks issue. You don't need to put a 'click' event handler around the Fancybox code, as it inherently has that event attached to it.

jQuery Live -- fire when item added to page

I've got an Ajax update happening to my MVC view. It displays a message telling the user the operation has completed:
<% if (ViewData["colorOptionsMessage"] != null) { %>
<span class="ajaxMessage"><%= ViewData["colorOptionsMessage"] %></span>
<% } %>
I want to atuomatically fade this message out once it appears, and I'd like to do it once, and have it work site-wide. This is what I tried, which doesn't work (the message appears, but the alert does not show):
$(function () {
$(".ajaxMessage").live("load", function () {
alert("once I can get this to show I'll put in a jueryUI fadeOut"); });
});
EDIT
Just to be clear, I don't need help with the fade out code; I just need help getting this call to Live() to wire up properly.
There's no direct way to be informed automatically when new elements are added to the page. $('.ajaxMessage').live('load') would only happen when the load event fires on an image, iframe or object/embed/applet with class="ajaxMessage", a load event is not fired with its own target for every new element that enters the page.
You could only do this by (a) DOM Mutation Events, which generally aren't widely enough supported, or (b) constantly polling to fetch the .ajaxMessage selector and seeing if any new elements appear in the results.
Better to manually $('.ajaxMessage', function() {...}) immediately after (potentially) adding the content to the page, in the ajax() method's success handler.
ETA:
that jQuery handler doesn't seem to execute after an ajaxForm success
If you can't catch success directly you could try registering a global success handler using ajaxSuccess.
The code below expects you made the Ajax call through jQuery. if the ajax call was not through jQuery, then ignore this answer. Could we see the ajax call itself?
<Script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
// this is a jQuery global ajax event that fires for every ajax, you need to check the URL
$.ajaxSuccess(function(e, xhr, settings){
if (settings.url == 'URI/ for/ajax /message/load.') {
alert("once I can get this to show I'll put in a jueryUI fadeOut");
}
});
);
</script>
When i want to add something, wait a few, and hide it, I use setTimeout function instead of live events. I add the code on the success callback.
This is a 1 second wait:
setTimeout(function(){ $("ajaxMessage").fadeOut(); }, 1000)
Of course, if you dont want to wait, just fadeOut the element in the success callback.
Can this be enough for you?
I dont think you can bind load to span.
only to IMG IFRAME BODY
As I know "ready" and "load" events are not supported by jQuery in "live". So you can use plugins as this one http://startbigthinksmall.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/announcing-jquery-live-ready-1-0-release/

Sharethis button does not work on pages loaded via ajax

I am trying to use the sharethis button on a page which is loaded via ajax.
The buttons do not show up. Please help.
Regards,
Pankaj
After adding the new content to the dom, call
stButtons.locateElements();
// or if you want to be a bit defensive about whether the lib has been
// loaded or not:
if (window.stButtons){stButtons.locateElements();} // Parse ShareThis markup
Article another another
Updated 09/2017 Answer
The stButtons object doesn't exist anymore, now you can use
window.__sharethis__.initialize()
To reinitialize the buttons
Updated 03/2020 Answer
As found in The Ape's answer above: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45958039/1172189
window.__sharethis__.initialize()
This still works, however there is a catch if your URL changes on the AJAX request, you need to make sure the URL you want shared is set as a data attribute (data-url) on the inline sharing div. You can also update the title using data-title attribute.
<div class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url="http://sharethis.com" data-title="Sharing is great!"></div>
Use case:
I'm using a WordPress/PHP function to generate specific content based on a query string. If you don't set the data-url attribute on the ShareThis div, ShareThis will hold the first URL that was clicked to share, regardless of the URL update on AJAX request.
This solution will also work for NodeJS based frameworks, like Meteor.
stButtons.locateElements();
is needed in the rendered callback of a template, to ensure that the shareThis buttons will appear on a page redirect.
I was facing the same problem with sharethis and Ajax pagination.
The buttons was not showing after posts loaded by Ajax so I've searched and found this.
I've just added the function stButtons.locateElements(); on Ajax success:
something like success: stButtons.locateElements();
Hope this will be helpful for someone like me.
Thanks

For the new API following solution worked for me
if (__sharethis__ && __sharethis__.config) {
__sharethis__.init(__sharethis__.config);
}
Add this code after loading ajax content.
do this:
window.__sharethis__.load('inline-share-buttons', config);
and config your buttons with javascript.
The following should work with current ShareThis javascript. If sharethis js isn't loaded, the script loads it. If it is already loaded, ShareThis is re-initialized using the current URL so that it works on pages loaded via Ajax. Working fine for me when used with mounted method on Vue component.
const st = window.__sharethis__
if (!st) {
const script = document.createElement('script')
script.src =
'https://platform-api.sharethis.com/js/sharethis.js#property=<your_property_id>&product=sop'
document.body.appendChild(script)
} else if (typeof st.initialize === 'function') {
st.href = window.location.href
st.initialize()
}
Make sure you use your property id provided by ShareThis in the script src url.
In Drupal you can achieve this by adding following code:
(function($){
Drupal.behaviors.osShareThis = {
attach: function(context, settings) {
stLight.options({
publisher: settings.publisherId
});
// In case we're being attached after new content was placed via Ajax,
// force ShareThis to create the new buttons.
stButtons.locateElements();
}
};
});
I found the following solution on one of the addThis forums and it worked great for me.
I called the function as a callback to my ajax call. Hoep this helps
<script type="text/javascript">
function ReinitializeAddThis(){
if (window.addthis){
window.addthis.ost = 0;
window.addthis.ready();
}
}
...
$('#camps-slide .results').load(loc+suffix, function() {ReinitializeAddThis();});
</script>

SIMPLIFIED: jqtouch mobile app ajax loading issue

In jqtouch and iui, what do you do if you want to follow a link like This is a FEED AND dynamically load the content of the <div id="feed-49"></div>?
I've tried bind/live a click handler onto the "a" and onto a parent "div" but it never gets fired, just the event for actually following the link. Thanks.
This is a simplified version of my other question:
jqtouch mobile app ajax loading issue
It depends whether you want the page pre-loaded or load-on-demand.
If you want it pre-loaded, you might want to fill in the page upon, say, $(document).ready:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#feed-49').load('feed-49.html');
});
If you want it to load on-demand, you can listen to the pageAnimationStart event:
$('#feed-49').bind('pageAnimationStart', function(event, info){
if (info.direction == 'in')
$(this).load('feed-49.html');
});
You may want to read the jQTouch's documentation on callback events.
I just went through what you are going through and know exactly how to solve it. You need to turn that XML into JSON objects, which will be numbered [0],[1], etc.
This JQuery plugin works and rocks : http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/xml-to-json/ Add that JS to your app. Your parse XML function will then convert the XML nodes you want (like item nodes within a channel) into JSON objects and then numbers the items.
So look how I then empty the current list of items, build a list of the items and add a custom CLICK function to the list items with a class of "sun" (i love jquery). That function then will add it's parent node title and desc to the divs that need it. The href will push it to the new jqtouch DIV which will handle all the detail info. Cool 'eh? Vote me up if this works. It did for me, like a charm.
function parseXml(xml)
{
$('#feedList').html('');
var rss = $.xml2json(xml);
$.each(rss.channel.item, function(i, item)
{
$('#feedList').empty().append('<li class=sun'+i'><a href=#contentDiv>'+item.title+'</a></li>');
$('.sun'+i).click(function() {
$('#titleDiv').empty().append(item.title);
$('#descDiv').empty().append(item.description);
});
});
};
