Turbolinks and 3d party plugins issue? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I have website
http://www.optimapo.ru/
and I have some 3d party scripts installed:
live chat (https://www.jivochat.com/) and yandex analitics.
But because of turbolinks they don't work properly.
For example live chat appears only on main page. But when we go to another page which is loaded using turbolinks it dissapears.
I include scripts in my code before closing body tag
<!-- BEGIN JIVOSITE CODE {literal} -->
<script type='text/javascript'>
(function(){ var widget_id = '2qq06akKwZ';var d=document;var w=window;function l(){
var s = document.createElement('script'); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true; s.src = '//code.jivosite.com/script/widget/'+widget_id; var ss = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; ss.parentNode.insertBefore(s, ss);}if(d.readyState=='complete'){l();}else{if(w.attachEvent){w.attachEvent('onload',l);}else{w.addEventListener('load',l,false);}}})();</script>
<!-- {/literal} END JIVOSITE CODE -->
<!-- Yandex.Metrika counter --> <script type="text/javascript"> (function (d, w, c) { (w[c] = w[c] || []).push(function() { try { w.yaCounter39034390 = new Ya.Metrika({ id:39034390, clickmap:true, trackLinks:true, accurateTrackBounce:true, webvisor:true, trackHash:true, ut:"noindex" }); } catch(e) { } }); var n = d.getElementsByTagName("script")[0], s = d.createElement("script"), f = function () { n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n); }; s.type = "text/javascript"; s.async = true; s.src = "https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/watch.js"; if (w.opera == "[object Opera]") { d.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", f, false); } else { f(); } })(document, window, "yandex_metrika_callbacks"); </script> <noscript><div><img src="https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/39034390?ut=noindex" style="position:absolute; left:-9999px;" alt="" /></div></noscript> <!-- /Yandex.Metrika counter -->
</body>
So what do I do to make scripts work with turbolinks?

Answer 1

I don't think that this is strictly possible with how the snippet you include is implemented. Let's look at it, I put it over multiple lines to make it easier to read, but this is all in there:
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.async = true;
s.src = '//code.jivosite.com/script/widget/'+widget_id;
var ss = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
ss.parentNode.insertBefore(s, ss);
If you look at turbolinks compatibility, one of the issues it reports are self loading scripts appending to head: http://reed.github.io/turbolinks-compatibility/
I don't know where document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0] lives on your page, but there's good chance it's in the head, since it's the first script on the page. Can you change to snippet to insert at the end of the body instead?

Answer 2

I've managed to find a solution that actually works in Turbolinks 5. I've added this piece of code s.setAttribute('data-turbolinks-track', 'reload'); in between existing code, like this:
s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.setAttribute('data-turbolinks-track', 'reload'); s.async = true;
Side note: I've also submitted a PR with this solution to Turbolinks Compatability repository

Answer 3

Turbolinks overrides the normal page loading process and sometimes scripts needs refresh. Here is the rails guide for using tubolinks on page load. It is coffescript. Here is javascript equivalent :
$(document).on("turbolinks:load", function() {
// your code here
});

Answer 4

Below code snippet works for me.
var ready;
ready = function() {
...your code ...
};
$(document).ready(ready);
$(document).on('page:load', ready);

Answer 5

You can try using this gem in your application:
gem 'jquery-turbolinks'
Follow the set-up instructions here.
Place your Metrika and JivoSite scripts onto the bottom of the page. You do not need to require them explicitly.

Answer 6

This works for me, just change
jivo_id = 'ID-MY-ACCOUNT';
Source: https://gist.github.com/Brunomm/5c227e6c254332290812
jQuery(document).on('page:load', runChat);
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {runChat();});
// Chat online jivo
function runChat(){
$('#jivo-iframe-container, .jivo_shadow, [src*="//code.jivosite"]').remove();
delete(window.jivo_api);
delete(window.jivo_config);
window.jivo_magic_var = undefined;
window.$jivosite = null;
(function(d,s){
var z = $jivosite=function(c){ z._.push(c) },
el_script = z.s = d.createElement(s),
e=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
jivo_id = 'ID-MY-ACCOUNT';
z.set=function(o){
z.set._.push(o)
};
z._=[];
z.set._=[];
$.async = !0;
el_script.setAttribute("charset","utf-8");
el_script.src='//code.jivosite.com/script/widget/'+jivo_id;
z.t=+new Date;
el_script.type="text/javascript";
e.parentNode.insertBefore(el_script,e)
})(document,"script");
}
