Re: Object Oriented jQuery Plugins

Benibex — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 16:44:23 -0000

OK, I think I figured it out.

I was declaring my plugin definition like this:
MyPluginDefinition = function() {
/* stuff goes here */
}

So I was ignoring the "element" and "option" variables that you pass in.

But if I modify it to actually use what you pass in, then I can pick up the element and use it with the normal jQuery calling convention. For example...

MyPluginDefinition = function(element, options) {
function _storeWidth() { var width = $(element).width(); }
}

Hi Jamie! Awesome little plugin you've got here. How do you access the jQuery object that is invoking the plugin?

In other words, if I call $(#foo).myplugin().publicMethod() and inside of public method I want to do something to the jQuery object selected by $(#foo), how would I do that?

I was thinking it would be, e.g., this.$.width(). However, that doesn't work...

Hi Jamie
Thank you so much for explaining this. Its been driving me insane for a while. So now my Mac Mail seems to represent everything i do in Gmail inbox, which is excellent. The only problem i have now is my imap gmail account on the iphone. Everything seems to work fine except for deleting emails on the phone. I get a "Unable to Move Message" pop up. It reads "The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash"
Than after about a minute it reappears in the inbox again on my phone? Any ideas why? Im presuming it has something to do with the way you have configured the trash in Mail?

Question for all: When I delete a message on my BlackBerry, it deletes in Outlook but doesn't delete from my inbox in gmail. Additionally, when I delete an email in Outlook, it doesnt delete the message on my Blackberry or gmail account. Can anyone figure this out?

Re: Do You Still Want Gengo?

Cezar "ikari" Pokorski — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:43:15 -0000

Yes! We do want Gengo for modern WP.
I spent last 3 hours looking for The Plugin and Gengo is my only candidate now. WPML would be the other one, if it didn't want my 80 USD, which is much more than I have.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks again for the great plug-in, works like a charm. On the subject of exposing getters and setters, I added the following code to my plug-in:

    //
    // EXPOSE PUBLIC MEMBERS RETURN
    //
    return {
      collapseAll       : function() { CollapseAll(); return true; },
      expandAll         : function() { ExpandAll(); },
      getSelectedItem   : function() { return _selectedItem; },
      getSelectedIndex  : function() { return _selectedItem.data("index"); },
      getSelectedLevel  : function() { return $(_selectedItem).data("level"); }
    }

_selectedItem is set each time an item is clicked, and a callback method is executed. I have placed the following code in that callback function:

    function AlertItem() {
      alert("level: " + grid.getSelectedLevel + "\nindex: " + grid.getSelectedIndex);
    }

Where "grid" is a global variable set when the plug-in is initialised. The attached screenshot is what appears in the alert dialog after an item has been selected and the callback method has been executed. Interestingly, though, is that both the "collapseAll" and "expandAll" methods work fine.

Just the last little piece to this jigsaw, and I'd be grateful if you could provide it.

Cheers,

Kaine

For automatic syncing, I'm not sure :/ I've not really noticed any discrepancies on my set up, though that might just be lucky. Took me a minute to remember how I did this, as it's not set up the same way as for mail and calendars, surprisingly. I did the following: Opened Address Book, then went to Preferences -> Accounts, selected On My Mac and checked and configured "Synchronize with Google". Can't tell you if that syncs automatically though, I'm afraid. Let me know if you discover anything!

Hi Jamie Talbot, thanks for reply.
Funny thing, those things you said I've already done it and didn't work yesterday. Today, I do nothing and suddenly works like a charm. Although I have a new question: Is there a way to automatically sync the change I do in Lion's Address Book to the Gmail's servers? Y know if I hit the "Sync now" button on the top right menu bar everything syncs, but I would like to setup the syncing time interval or something like that in the Address Book (in Mail and iCal the syncing is automatical).

Hi Rafael,

To make sure messages go in GMail's Trash you need to link the folder in Mail.

In Mail, on the left hand side under [GMail] you should see your GMail Trash folder. Click once to select it. Then from the menu bar, choose Mailbox -> Use This Mailbox For -> Trash. The folder should disappear from undernearth [GMail] and be replaced by a Trash icon in the top left corner. You should now find that deleting messages from Mail also deletes them on GMail.

Hope this helps!

Re: Configuring OS X Mail For Gmail Without Duplicates

Rafael — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 18:22:19 -0000

I've a problem. When I setup Gmail on Lion's Mail, and want to eliminate messages, these appears on Gmail's web with the "Deleted Messages" label, but not in the "Trash" folder. Ok that's fine, I apply a filter saying that the messages with the "label:deleted-messages" labes have to go to the "Trash" folder and doing that, the messages move to the "Trash" folder (on Gmail web). The problem starts when I delete a new message from Lion's Mail because this new mail appears with the "Deleted Messages" label but it doesn't automatically go to the "Trash" folder (on Gmail's web), therefore Gmail isn't applying the filter to the new mail. I've tried every Lion's Mail and Gmail configurations but they all do the same thing. Am I missing somthing? Is a known Gmail's label issue? Please, help me. Thanks. I'm sorry, english is not my main language.

Joe Lafferty — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 03:42:20 -0000

this is brilliant!
i have been driven crazy with multiple messages and your tip is very helpful.
one thing I'd add is switching off saving drafts to IMAP, as I was getting tonnes of duplicate messages, i think due to auto save in Lion, making it impossible to find emails amongst the 20 or so duplicates of the same thing!
thanks for tip tho.
Joe

Jamie,

Thank you for this great post! I'm very new to Mac, was going to do a One-on-One session specifically on how to sync all my mails properly with Gmail, but your post saves me a trip to the Apple Store! Yes I agree with you that Label would be awesome since it has come in handy for me in Gmail, but I'm willing to let that go in exchange for cleaner interface and freeing up space for my new Macbook Pro.

VMIposter - thank you for the link to Google's support page, that helped a lot!

I still struggle to get my head around the overwhelming focus on the self and short term gratification that seems to ooze out of so many parts of the culture. Individuals seem capable of great acts of generosity and community but that always seems to be an added extra on top of a general short term self satisfaction.

You've visited a lot of my favourite national parks though... awesome aren't they? DId you manage to do Angel's Landing?

Re: Configuring OS X Mail For Gmail Without Duplicates

Jamie Talbot — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 22:38:35 -0000

Hi Ross,

I actually don't archive at all, ever! With the amount of email that I get, I always search if the message I'm looking for doesn't appear in my first screen of emails. So far, all the mail clients I've used have been able to handle up to the 4 years worth of email I have in my inbox without any issues (Gmail of course only displaying the first 10,20,100 messages anyway), so I entirely removed that step :) It's strange that it works for one account and not the others - the best debugging advice I can give is to exhaustively check all of your account settings in both Gmail and Mail and make sure they match. Not very helpful I know! On the other hand, the previous comment does describe a way for Archiving though, which might work for you, though I've not tried it.

As for hiding the redundant folders, I turned off "Show in IMAP" in Gmail account settings and they disappeared from the sidebar. Sent and Trash moved to underneath Mailboxes. The only one that remains is the top-level [Gmail] one which just won't seem to disappear! I just 'hide' my Gmail account as it doesn't get in the way too much for me, but the OCD in me would certainly like to get rid of it :)

Cheers,

Jamie.

Ross Mckenzie — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 21:52:46 -0000

Top tips thanks. I have 3 gmail accounts running through OSX Lion Mail, 1 archives mails as expected (disappears but is available in All Mail if I log into gmail) however the other 2 accounts (all are configured the same as per the first post), automatically create an IMAP folder 'Archive' and place the mail in there. Not a major problem other than I don't want to clutter my side bar with unnecessary folders). Any ideas? How do you archive?

Given your neat solution is there any way to hide the (now redundant) Gmail folders at the bottom of the MailBoxes Bar (guess I could just hide it - if Apple had colour coded the accounts in the unified inbox, hiding the MailBox bar would work fine for me but alas...)

Re: Automatically Mounting WebDAV in Ubuntu with a FuseDAV Init Script

Jamie Talbot — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:45:55 -0000

Hi,

Yeah, it's not perfect. As I note above, because you type the password on the command line it is plainly visible in many ways - even htop will reveal it. I'm not aware at the moment of anyway of calling fusedav without specifying a password. Would be happy to hear otherwise.

As for permissions, off the top of my head, you could create a low privilege account and give it ownership of the mount. Then, instead of using sudo the command in the init script, use su newaccountname -c 'fusedav ...'

I haven't tried this however.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Cheers,

Jamie.

Re: Automatically Mounting WebDAV in Ubuntu with a FuseDAV Init Script

Curious — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 08:05:47 -0000

Interesting article. Thanks for the pointers. Seems to work ok. A couple of issues:

ps -ef | grep fuse

reveals the username and password of the dav share to all users. Not so secure.

Also, I'd be interested to know if you have ideas for managing permissions on the local mount so that an ordinary user might be allowed access?

Thanks again.

Re: Configuring OS X Mail For Gmail Without Duplicates

VMIposter — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:52:27 -0000

Thanks for the post. One note - I visited the suggested settings page (https://mail.google.com/suppor... for IMAP clients when using Gmail/Google Apps and found the tips below. This is especially useful if you want to hit delete on a message and have it leave the inbox but still remain in All Mail.

Apple Mail

From the Mail menu, click Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors

Drafts: Store draft messages on the server > do NOT check
Sent: Store sent messages on the server > do NOT check
Junk: Store junk messages on the server > checked
Delete junk messages when > Never
Trash:Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox > do NOT check
Store deleted messages on the server > do NOT check

Is there a possibility you could share on how i could do recurring events with the check for day.
