DataTable and DataSource :: Adding formatters and sorter functions.

Misha79 — Thu, Sep 2nd 2010 00:33 PST

I have written my formatters in a function form in MyList and add to DT like this-

YAHOO.widget.DataTable.Formatter.MyFormatter = MyList.MyFormatter;

Now i coded a Sorter function MySorter
and want to apply in the same way to DT.
YAHOO,widget.Column.sortOptions.sortfunction.mySorter=MyList.mySort
wont work.
Is there any way to do this.

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: YAHOO.widget.Editor tab indexing

alindberg — Thu, Sep 2nd 2010 00:10 PST

Using a later version (2.6.0 vs 2.5.1) greatly alleviates this, as it appears to disable the tabindex for the toolbar buttons.

I couldn't get the editor's focus method to work, (not very well versed in JS) but the later version's behavior is very acceptable.

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Pie Chart with borders

mjball — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 23:12 PST

Is there a way to style a PieChart so that there's a thin line between each series? Like this:

It looks like the borderColor series style could work, but it doesn't.

I'm looking for a solution of having multiple series of the same color, while still being able to distinguish them. I can alternate colors in my color array, but that only works if all the y-values are nonzero.

DataTable and DataSource :: Re: Sorting on DOB column

Misha79 — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 23:03 PST

Iapply parsing -custom parser and it also changes the display on DT.
I dont want to change my output ,only fix sorting on Age/DOB columns.

Should i use Custom Parser or Custom formatter or sorter .
Please suggest me.

DataTable and DataSource :: Re: Sorting on DOB column

I gave you two options. If you can't parse it on input then you have to provide an custom sort function:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/#advancedsort

How are you going to manage to compare those two pieces of information, I don't know, but that is not a DataTable issue. If you can provide a reliable comparison function, DataTable will sort them nicely.

DataTable and DataSource :: Re: Sorting on DOB column

Misha79 — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 21:35 PST

It is designed to be like that and cant change the output/display format.

If user can either DOB or age .and Table shows Age/Dob just as another column with other Name etc columns and it calculates age from DOB also.

But when i sort on this column in DT shown,its basically shows incorrect order because of 2 formats
eg
10 ,40 ,55, 09/11/1955. should be order (asc) but i would take 09/11/1955 as string
as show it first - 09/11/1955 ,10,40,55

DataTable and DataSource :: Re: Sorting on DOB column

Satyam — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 21:15 PST

You can use a custom sort function:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datatable/#advancedsort

However, it might be better to parse your incoming data so it is presented consistently, either age or DOB and be rid of the issue from then on:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/datasource/#parsers

If you can tell ages from DOBs, you can do either one and I would prefer the later so you cut off that inconsistency right from the start, when you received the data.

Using YUI 3.x Components :: jquery Slideshow in combo with YUI 3 ImageLoader

vtol — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 21:12 PST

I am using a jquery based slideshow with total 38 images.

Since I removed any controls from the Slideshow and know the transient between slides. thereby able to predict when the images need to be available for the sideshow (of course connection speed/bandwidth is another factor) I would like to use YUI 3 ImageLoader to load the Sldeshow images in a delayed sequence. That way saving bandwith and speeding the initial page load.

tested ImageLoader and it is is working fine. however and in order to prevent the entire Slideshow picture gallery to be downloaded initially it is necessary to remove the src attribute from the elements inside the Slideshow container, else first all pictures are getting downloaded with the initial page load and then again in the delayed time sequence by ImageLoader, negating the idea of saving bandwith. yet the slideshow depends on the on the src attribute inside the html elements, if removed it caused an error.

hence the question whether and if so how it would be possible to parse the src attribute back from ImageLoader to the slideshow.

any sound help/advise would be much appreciated.

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: how to minify the accordionview file size

Satyam — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 21:11 PST

Use the YUI Compressor:

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

It works with any JavaScript or CSS file, it doesn't need to be related to YUI.

Dispatcher :: Re: Submitting Form Through Dispatcher

caridy — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 19:33 PST

Hey Tripp,

You have two options:

a) You can use io directly (from outside the dispatcher), and then use delegateSearchDispatcher.set('content', myioresponseobjecthere); So you will have full access to io, and dispatcher will only process the content.

b) Or you can call delegateSearchDispatcher._fetch('myurlhere', {method: 'POST', data: 'ISMODAL=true'}); And yes, in this case you're accessing a seudo-private method.

Now, supporting custom config is part of the refactoring that I'm doing at the moment to transform dispatcher into an utility instead of an object that you need to create.

Best Regards,
Caridy

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: YAHOO.widget.Editor dialog panel

jtanjung — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 19:31 PST

Hi Dav,

I need one more help please. I enclosed th screen shot here

The problem is folder combo box button, when it's expanded, the item list was not shown correctly, It's seem the item list's placed behind the layout elements.

here's my code to render the combo button.

Code:

            YAHOO.example.app.FolderHistory = new YAHOO.widget.Toolbar('folder-history-container', {
                buttons: [
                    { id: 'tb_folderhistory',
                        type: 'select',
                        label: fIcon + 'Root/',
                        text: 'Root',
                        value: 'rootfolder',
                        menu: [{ text: "Root/", value: "/"}]
                    }
                ],
                buttonType: 'advanced'
            });

What I should do to fix it, Is it possible to bring the item list to front when it's expanded?

Thanks!
Julian

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: Change slider from a variable

Dave M G — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 19:10 PST

Whoops... nevermind.

Turned out that for some reason that a variable that should have been an integer was being made into a string, and that was causing all the confusion.

Thanks for the help, and sorry that I was asking for help in one area when the problem was actually in another.

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: Change slider from a variable

Dave M G — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 18:58 PST

Thank you for responding.

I understand that the values for the Slider are pixel positions. That's why the output makes no sense to me.

If I put in a value of "100", then shouldn't the thumb simply be 100 pixels from the left side (the "top" end)?

I don't understand what "conversion" would need to be done.

In any case, shouldn't different values at least produce different results?

I set the top constraint value to 0, just to remove it as a potential problem (I had originally adjusted it so as to get the thumb to position correctly relevant to my graphic.)

I thought setValue simply expected an integer. Is it looking for something else?

Using YUI 2.x Components :: Re: YAHOO.widget.Editor tab indexing

davglass — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 18:49 PST

The easiest thing to do is put a blur handler on your "subject" input and check for the tabkey. Then if the tabkey was used, call editor.focus();

Similar to this example:

Using YUI 2.x Components :: YAHOO.widget.Editor tab indexing

alindberg — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 18:46 PST

Is it possible to control the tab indexing of the Editor? I have a page with a text input box for a subject, then a textarea that gets turned into a YUI editor for the body. I'd like the form to allowing tabbing directly from the subject into the Editor's main text input area, instead of passing through all of the buttons like it is now. (I could accept just disabling the tabindex for all the buttons, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this).

Thanks,
Andrew

Dispatcher :: Submitting Form Through Dispatcher

trippmartin — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 17:51 PST

Is it possible to send additional/form data to a URL through the dispatcher object using the configuration object available in io? I tried passing a cfg parameter to the Y.Dispatcher constructor but unless I'm misunderstanding the code it's not passed to the _fetch method within the initializer method. I also tried passing the configuration data directly into the constructor but the data doesn't appear to be present.

Code:

var delegateSearchDispatcher = new Y.Dispatcher ({
   node: Y.one('#delegatesearch div'),
   //cfg: { method: 'POST', data: 'ISMODAL=true' },
   method: 'POST',
   data: 'ISMODAL=true',
   normalize: true
});

jtanjung — Wed, Sep 1st 2010 17:08 PST

Hi Dav,

Thanks for the reply. I just tried your code, but it's still not working. here's my codes

Code:

            YAHOO.example.app.editor[diVal] = new YAHOO.widget.Editor(diVal + '_compose', {
                width: YAHOO.example.app.tabView._contentParent.clientWidth + 'px',
                height: ((YAHOO.example.app.layout.getSizes().center.h - YAHOO.example.app.tabView._tabParent.offsetHeight) - 120) + 'px'
            });

            YAHOO.example.app.editor[diVal].on('windowRender', function () {
                var panel = this.get('panel').element;
                YAHOO.util.Dom.get('windoweditor').appendChild(panel);
            });

Hope you can help me find a mistake on the codes above. Can we get the panel object when windowRender fired and set the panel draggable to true or set xy attribute value? Is it possible?

Thanks!
Julian
