Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
Hey everybody,
I'm getting ready for a MadWorld 2018 presentation where I'll be talking a bit about jQuery. I'm wondering what your favorite jQuery plugins are for your Flare projects? What problems do you use jQuery to solve?
If you point out a jQuery solution, and I include it in my MadWorld presentation, I'll be sure to give you a shout out.
Happy coding!

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
I used datatables once to allow sorting on a few columns for a large table of data. It's pretty powerful with fairly comprehensive styling options. And there's heaps of documentation and a lot of examples.

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
I wouldn't have a clue what to do with a jQuery, unless it came with cream and cherries in which case I'd eat it! Looking forward to your talk (are you doing it in MadWorld Europe too?) so I can learn a little bit about what it can do.
Started as a newbie with Flare 6.1, now using Flare 2023.

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
I use this borrowed jquery script for a close button with my drop-downs. I add the link to the js file in the HomePage and OtherTopic master pages
Code: Select all
$(document).ready(function(){
/* Add close button to dropdowns */
$(".dropDownBody").append("<a href='javascript:void(0);' class='dropDownClose'>(Close)</a>");
$(".dropDownClose").click(function() {
$(this).parent().prev(".dropDownHead").children(".dropDownHotspot").click();
});
/* Add close button to togglers */
$("[data-mc-target-name]").each(function() {
/* for each toggler target, find the target name (togglerTarget) */
var togglerTarget = $(this).attr("data-mc-target-name");
/* for each toggler target, add a close link (a.togglerClose) */
var closeTarget = $("<a href='javascript:void(0);' class='togglerClose'>(Close)</a>");
$(this).append(closeTarget);
/* Create a selector for the toggler link (closeToggler), which is linked to this target. Look for open togglers, which include the togglerTarget name */
var closeToggler = 'a.toggler[data-mc-state="open"][data-mc-targets*="' + togglerTarget + '"]';
/* When the closeTarget link is clicked, click the toggler link (closeToggler) */
$(closeTarget).click(function(){
$(closeToggler).click();
});
});
});

I use the Maphilight jQuery plugin (http://davidlynch.org/projects/maphilight/docs/) for styling image maps. I don't know if I'd call it awesome, but it does the job.

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
I would love any jQuery that would actually work. I had jQuery working in Flare 2017 r2 when I put jQuery in a folder in the project and pointed to it: "../Plugins/jquery-latest.js"
That stopped working in Flare 2017 r3. I've been informed that Flare has its own built-in jQuery, so I shouldn't point to my own folder in the project. I stopped doing that and now jQuery doesn't work at all. Where should I point the master page to enable jQuery?
I cannot find any information on how to set up jQuery the new way. Flare Support tells me they don't support jQuery and therefore cannot advise me.
For now, I commented out all the jQuery calls on the master page because they are not working anyway.

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
Here is a presentation I gave at MadWorld two years ago: https://www.slideshare.net/docguy/web-s ... dcap-flare
Look at slides 5-7 for info on where to put your jquery plugin links.

Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
Flare does have its own built-in version of jQuery (if you're building a HTML5 target). It's jQuery v1.12.4 in Flare 2013r3.Jess77 wrote:I would love any jQuery that would actually work.

So don't add your own version of jQuery, because that will screw things up.
I'd expect that it's your code that doesn't work, rather than jQuery. For example, make sure you run your code after jQuery has loaded.
Re: Tell Me Your Favorite jQuery Plugins
I'm using Image map pro (https://codecanyon.net/item/image-map-p ... er/2792438) and Fancybox (http://fancybox.net/).
But I guess they are both pretty standard and not so much cool and awesome?
