Auto load content on scroll

2016-12-16T14:46:23Z

Orry Verducci: Add scroll function which stops platform page scroll when a user tries to scroll, which blocks scrolling on the page.

There are many pages on the platform that limit the content shown, and have a 'load more' button at the bottom which loads the next page when clicked.

The following code snippet enables automatic loading of the content as visitors scroll down the page, similar to how Facebook and Twitter do, improving the user experience as users can just scroll down without having to keep clicking 'load more'.

To snippet should be copied into Global Javascript.

<nowiki>
function EnableAutoLoadMore(buttonElement, contentElement) {
$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
if (typeof $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore') === typeof undefined || $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore') == false) {
$(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
}
if ($(buttonElement + ':visible').length > 0) {
if (($(window).height() + $(document).scrollTop()) > ($(buttonElement).first().offset().top - 80) && $(contentElement).first().children().length > $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore')) {
$(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore', $(contentElement).first().children().length);
$(buttonElement).click();
}
}
});
}

$(function() {
if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 7) == '/events' && window.location.pathname.length <= 8) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load-more-events', '#uc-event-right-panel-listing');
} else if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 7) == '/groups') {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#uc-more-group-search', '.category-box-wrapper');
$('.club-navigation ul li').click(function() {
$('#uc-more-group-search').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
$('.group-types-wrapper ul li').click(function() {
$('#uc-more-group-search').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
} else if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 9) == '/articles' && window.location.pathname.length <= 10) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load_more_article', '.uc-articles-listing');
} else if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 16) == '/thestudentvoice' && window.location.pathname.length <= 17) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load_more_sv', '.uc-sv-left-panel-wrapper');
$('#uc-sv-navigation li a').click(function() {
$('#load_more_sv').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
}
});

$('html, body').bind('scroll mousedown DOMMouseScroll mousewheel keyup touchstart', function(){
$('html, body').stop();
});

Simple image slideshow

2016-12-16T10:44:12Z

Orry Verducci: Page creation

The following code snippets allow you to add simple image slideshow functionality to your page or site, which will fade nicely between images after a set duration. The duration defaults to 5 seconds, but can be adjusted per slideshow if needed.

The CSS and Javascript snippets can be added to either a single page's CSS and Javascript, or can be added to your Global CSS and Global Javascript to enable the functionality site wide.

'''Please Note:''' The slideshow will be the size of the first image in the sequence. Ideally all the images in the sequence should be the same size.

== CSS ==

<nowiki>
.image-slideshow {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}

.image-slideshow img {
top: 0;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
transition: opacity 1s;
opacity: 0;
width: 100% !important;
height: auto !important;
vertical-align: top;
will-change: opacity;
}

.image-slideshow img:first-child {
position: relative;
}

.image-slideshow img.active-image {
z-index: 3;
opacity: 1;
}

.image-slideshow img.previous-image {
z-index: 2;
opacity: 1;
}
</nowiki>

== Javascript ==

<nowiki>
$(function() {
$('.image-slideshow').each(function(index) {
var slideshowElement = this;
var duration = $(slideshowElement).attr('data-speed');
if (typeof duration == typeof undefined || duration == false) {
duration = 5;
} else {
duration = parseInt(duration);
}
$(slideshowElement).children('img:first').addClass('active-image');
setInterval(function() { CycleImage(slideshowElement); }, duration * 1000);
});
});

function CycleImage(slideshowElement){
var active = $(slideshowElement).children('.active-image');
var next = (active.next().length > 0) ? active.next() : $(slideshowElement).children('img:first');
active.addClass('previous-image');
active.removeClass('active-image');
next.addClass('active-image');
}

$(".image-slideshow").bind("transitionend webkitTransitionEnd oTransitionEnd MSTransitionEnd", function(){
$(this).children('.previous-image').removeClass('previous-image');
});
</nowiki>

== Usage ==

To use the slideshow on a page, change the editor (CKEditor) to source view, and insert the follow snippet where you want the slideshow to appear:

<nowiki>
PUT IMAGES HERE
</nowiki>

Then change back to normal view, and replace the "PUT IMAGES HERE" text with the images you want to use, by inserting images as normal.

If you want to change the duration between each image change from 5 seconds to something else, add a "data-speed" attribute to the <code><nowiki></nowiki></code> tag set to the number of seconds you want the duration to be. For example for a 10 second duration, you tag would look like this:

<nowiki>
PUT IMAGES HERE
</nowiki>

When a student joins a group, they have to select a membership type for the group. When there is only a single membership type for the group, the platform still requires the student to select it.

The following code snippet, which should be put in Global Javascript, will automatically select the membership type if there is only one membership type listed on the page.

<nowiki>
$(function() {
if (window.location.pathname.substring(window.location.pathname.length - 5) == '/join' || window.location.pathname.substring(window.location.pathname.length - 5) == 'join/') {

Many Union's like to brand their Student Voice module with a different name (e.g. Big Ideas).

The below code snippet, which should be copied in to Global Javascript, allows your Union to rename all the titles on the Student Voice module to your local brand name. Make sure you change "PUT YOUR NAME HERE" to your local brand name.

<nowiki>
$(function() {
if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 16) == '/thestudentvoice' && window.location.pathname.length <= 17) {
var svName = 'PUT YOUR NAME HERE';
$('.uc-heading-title span').html(svName);
var siteName = document.title.split('@')[1];
document.title = svName + ' @' + siteName;
}
});

Auto load content on scroll

2016-12-15T16:28:08Z

Orry Verducci: Page creation

There are many pages on the platform that limit the content shown, and have a 'load more' button at the bottom which loads the next page when clicked.

The following code snippet enables automatic loading of the content as visitors scroll down the page, similar to how Facebook and Twitter do, improving the user experience as users can just scroll down without having to keep clicking 'load more'.

To snippet should be copied into Global Javascript.

<nowiki>
function EnableAutoLoadMore(buttonElement, contentElement) {
$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
if (typeof $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore') === typeof undefined || $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore') == false) {
$(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
}
if ($(buttonElement + ':visible').length > 0) {
if (($(window).height() + $(document).scrollTop()) > ($(buttonElement).first().offset().top - 80) && $(contentElement).first().children().length > $(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore')) {
$(buttonElement).first().attr('data-loadmore', $(contentElement).first().children().length);
$(buttonElement).click();
}
}
});
}

$(function() {
if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 7) == '/events' && window.location.pathname.length <= 8) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load-more-events', '#uc-event-right-panel-listing');
}

if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 7) == '/groups') {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#uc-more-group-search', '.category-box-wrapper');
$('.club-navigation ul li').click(function() {
$('#uc-more-group-search').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
$('.group-types-wrapper ul li').click(function() {
$('#uc-more-group-search').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
}

if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 9) == '/articles' && window.location.pathname.length <= 10) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load_more_article', '.uc-articles-listing');
}

if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 16) == '/thestudentvoice' && window.location.pathname.length <= 17) {
EnableAutoLoadMore('#load_more_sv', '.uc-sv-left-panel-wrapper');
$('#uc-sv-navigation li a').click(function() {
$('#load_more_sv').first().attr('data-loadmore', 0);
});
}
});
</nowiki>

Disable candidates already selected in an election

2016-12-15T16:16:09Z

Orry Verducci: Add missing variable

Currently every candidate in an election is shown on every positions drop down menu, which makes it easy for a student to accidentally select a candidate they have already chosen for another position, especially if you have lots of candidates.

If you have access to Global Javascript, you can paste in the code snippet below, which disables and greys out candidates that have already been selected for other positions, preventing students accidentally selecting a candidate twice (which would give an error) and making it easier to see who they've already selected.

<nowiki>
var electionChosenCandidates = {};

$(function() {
if (window.location.pathname.substring(0, 40) == '/evoting_election_votings/select_choices') {
$('.uc-candidates-preferences select').each(function(index) {
UpdateCandidates(this);
});
$('.uc-candidates-preferences select').bind('change', CandidateChange);
}
});

function CandidateChange(type, data, handler) {
UpdateCandidates(this);
}

function UpdateCandidates(selectElement) {
var chosenOption = $(selectElement).val();
var existingOption = ($(selectElement).attr('id') in electionChosenCandidates) ? electionChosenCandidates[$(selectElement).attr('id')] : -1;
electionChosenCandidates[$(selectElement).attr('id')] = chosenOption;
$('.uc-candidates-preferences select').not(selectElement).each(function(index) {
$(this).find('option[value=' + chosenOption + ']').attr('disabled', true);
if (existingOption >= 0) {
$(this).find('option[value=' + existingOption + ']').attr('disabled', false);
}
});
}
</nowiki>

Change Officer Stripe Speed

2016-12-15T15:54:25Z

Orry Verducci: Change Global CSS to Global Javascript and fix code formatting

[[File:OfficerStripe.PNG|thumb|This is an example officer stripe on UnionCloud]]
If you are using the default Union Cloud Officer Stripe, section type to display profile pictures on a page within your website you can add the following line of code to your [[Global Javascript]] to change the scroll speed.

To change the speed of the scroll simply change the 'auto:X,' line and replace the X with the number of seconds you want to delay the scroll, the example below uses 2 seconds.

<nowiki>
$('.auto-stripe ul').jcarousel({
scroll:1,
wrap: 'last',
auto:2,
itemFallbackDimension: 300
});
</nowiki>
