Hi there,

Hi there,

I am trying to find a way to fire a callback on a programatically called changePage,

Hi there,

Hi there, I am trying to make links from an image map fire the ajax loading and transitions in jQm

I am trying to find a way of making general wordpress plugins work with jQm.

In theory I think you could bind

 $(document).trigger("ready");

to the pageCreate event but this would have a host of unintended consequences.

What would be great is if there was some way of doing $(document).trigger("ready" on data-role=page);
That would solve so many of these issues without having to rewrite the code of every plugin you want to use...

Anybody know if that is possible or am I dreaming here?

Hi there,

I am really interested in using jQuery mobile, both for mobile and desktop as I love the fact that you can use page transitions and also have static elements that persist across different pages- for things like msuic players that play music in the background across a site.

I am trying to develop this for wordpress, but am hitting major problems with plugins not working. I expect the main issue is that most plugins use $(document).ready() to make themselves work.

For example I am using things like the sharethis and disqus plugins for wordpress. These plugins download code from the sites themselves. I could download my own copies and change the $(document).ready() to pageInit(), but the problem with that is that if disqus/sharethis change anything that they would usually expect people to be getting automatically because most users will be loading the js from their live source, my code wont work. This sounds like a maintainence nightmare.

So my question is what types of work arounds have people come up with for this kind of thing?

For example the 'shareThis' plugin adds the buttons to the first page loaded, then they dont appear on the ajax loaded page, unless you refresh it- which kind of defeats the point of it really.

I expect that shareThis and Disqus will be pretty quick off the mark with updates that work with jQm, but other things like RoleScoper and aloha editor are less likely to be that quick. So is there any method to transpose any loaded $(document).ready() to run on pageInit() or is this a bad idea- in which case does anyone have any good ideas?

Hey there,

Hey there,

In another post I noticed that transitions were not working in Firefox, I think this is because the transitions are not actually jquery animations but are instead css transitions and are only programmed for webkit in the css.

While I could add Firefox css to a custom css file, since what I want to do is have this work on desktops really what I'd like to do is use jquery animations.

Which leads me to the question, can I extent jQuery mobile so that if i load a mycustomtransition.js with a custom transition in it, that will override the transition in the core? I have two reasons for this: 1) since jQuery mobile is still in beta I don't want to customise that because I assume it will be changing very regularly. 2) that I'd like the user to be able to choose their transitions and set these dynamically so being able to add a function based on the users choice would make this possible.

I don't know much about prototypes in js but am I right in thinking they are a bit like classes in php and can therefore be extended?

I'll have a read up on prototypes in js, but if anyone could let me know if I am on the right track here, or even give me some pointers I'd be eternally grateful!

Hi there,

I'd really like to have my desktop version use the ajax transitions and history elements of jquery mobile as well.

Does anybody know if these are available separately?

Thanks

Hi there,

Really excited about the whole jQuery mobile thing, cant wait to get my teeth in!

I appreciate that one should test on the platform you are writing for, but on my android phone I have no firebug etc to be able to look around at my code and see whats going on. What I need to be able to do is preliminary testing on Firefox on the desktop pretending its a phone so I can play around with design choices etc and then just test on the phone.

So how can I get jquery mobile to run on my desktop so I can see and test what I am doing?

Any tips most welcome!
