README
= Jquery Plug-In = The `sfJqueryReloadedPlugin` offers helpers that integrate the [http://www.jquery.com/ Jquery] Javascript framework. == Support == Please contact the [http://groups.google.com/group/sfjqueryreloadedplugin sfJqueryReloadedPlugin Google group]. That is the best place to report bugs. Some of the maintainers may also be found in the `#symfony` channel @ Freenode IRC. == Licence == This plugin is licensed under the MIT license. For the full copyright and license information, please view the LICENSE file that was distributed with this source code. == Introduction == Symfony 1.0 offered a set of PHP helper functions which invoked popular AJAX functionality, such as forms that update particular page elements rather than the entire page, autocomplete/typeahead, and the like. However, these helpers were built on Prototype, while jQuery has since become a clearly superior JavaScript library. Also, in Symfony 1.2 these helpers were deprecated and in Symfony 1.4 they are gone. sfJqueryReloadedPlugin is a reimplementation of these helper functions that uses the jQuery library instead of Prototype. Just make sure you import the helper group `jQuery` with a `use_helper` call: {{{ use_helper('jQuery'); }}} And give each helper call a `jq_` prefix. So the classic prototype helper call: {{{ <?php echo link_to_remote(....);?> }}} Becomes: {{{ <?php echo jq_link_to_remote(....);?> }}} == Installation == * Install the plugin {{{ $ symfony $ symfony plugin:install sfJqueryReloadedPlugin }}} Note that you can also check it out as an svn external from: {{{ http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfJqueryReloadedPlugin/1.2/trunk }}} * Optional: change jquery_web_dir in setting.yml if you are not using the traditional symbolic link to the webdir of the plugin (or copying the plugin's /web folder to a folder called sfJqueryPlugin in your web dir, which will also work automatically with our defaults). {{{ all: .settings: jquery_web_dir: /sfJqueryPlugin }}} * Optional: within that folder's /js/ subfolder you might have a different version of jquery other than a minimized 1.3.1 which is what you currently get if you allow the plugin to supply it. This can be a relative path if the file is located in a different folder. {{{ all: .settings: jquery_core: jquery-1.3.1.min.js }}} * Optional: specify different versions of the ui and autocomplete plugins, which would be looked for in the /js/plugins/ subfolder of your jquery_web_dir. Again, you can use relative paths relative to that location in web space if they are in a different place. {{{ all: .settings: jquery_sortable: jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js jquery_autocomplete: jquery.autocomplete.min.js }}} If you are running your websites under Microsoft Windows, you also have to manually copy the {{{./web}}} directory of the plugin in the {{{%SF_ROOT_DIR%/web}}} directory of your project and rename it to {{{sfJqueryReloadedPlugin}}}. (The ./symfony plugin:publish-assets task should be able to do this for you.) == Basic syntax == === Declaring the helper in templates === * Inside a template {{{ <?php use_helper('jQuery') ?> }}} * In `settings.yml`, for all modules {{{ standard_helpers: [..., jQuery] }}} When you use functions that require jQuery plugins, specifically `jq_sortable_element` and `jq_input_auto_complete_tag`, the appropriate JavaScript files are automatically added. However, if you are attempting to do this from your `layout.php` (including via a component or partial referenced by `layout.php` rather than an action template), it will not work because `get_javascripts()` has already been invoked. To resolve this issue, call: {{{ <?php jq_add_plugins_by_name(array('sortable', 'autocomplete')) ?> }}} At the top of your `layout.php` file, or just add the js files for the plugins you need directly to your project's `view.yml` file. The first solution is more maintainable because it means you don't have to pay close attention when we update to a newer release of a plugin. === Using Jquery methods === To use Jquery methods, refer to ''Chapter 11'' of the classic Symfony 1.0 documentation [http://www.symfony-project.com/book/1_0/11-Ajax-Integration Ajax Integration]. All helper functions described in that chapter can be used with the '''jq_''' prefix. Note that jQuery and Prototype select elements differently. In cases where selecting just one element is the only thing that makes sense, the helper functions automatically prepend a '''#''' so that the selector behaves as it would in Prototype. == jQuery Helpers documentation == * `jq_periodically_call_remote($options = array())` * `jq_link_to_function($name, $function, $html_options = array())` * `jq_link_to_remote($name, $options = array(), $html_options = array())` * `jq_update_element_function($element_id, $options = array())` * `jq_form_remote_tag($options = array(), $options_html = array())` * `jq_submit_to_remote($name, $value, $options = array(), $options_html = array())` * `jq_javascript_tag($content)` * `jq_visual_effect($effect, $element_id = false, $js_options = array())` * `jq_add_plugins_by_name($options = array())` * `jq_sortable_element($selector, $options)` (tom@punkave.com) * `jq_input_auto_complete_tag($name, $value, $url, $tag_options = array(), $completion_options = array()) (bruno.adele@jesuislibre.org) * function jq_draggable_element($selector, $options = array()) * function jq_drop_receiving_element($selector, $options = array()) These are the methods currently supported by sfJqueryReloadedPlugin. Also see the source for newer and more experimental implementations. Future changes may integrate more functions. == Using JSON == It is possible to use JSON responses with sfJqueryReloadedPlugin. Be sure to read [http://trac.symfony-project.com/wiki/AjaxAndJSON#jsonwithoutheader JSON Without Header] and consider: {{{ <?php echo jq_link_to_remote(image_tag('icons/delete.png'), array('url' => '@delete')), 'dataType' => 'json', 'success' => 'leaveGroup(request)')) ?> }}} == TODO == * Add unit tests * Use `sprintf` for string manipulation * Implement the rest of the Javascript Helper: * draggable_element * drop_receiving_element * input_in_place_editor_tag == Changelog == See the [http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfJqueryReloadedPlugin?tab=Changelog official changelog on the Symfony plugins site].
