any idea, where i am wrong.
It looks like your theme is not properly loaded. Be sure that you are inheriting theme in your .gwt.xml file.
From https://www.smartclient.com/smartgwt/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/docs/Skinning.html
A skin is implicitly loaded when you add an tag in your .gwt.xml file to include SmartGWT components (name="com.smartgwt(ee).SmartGWT(Pro|Power|EE)"). To switch skins, add the "NoTheme" suffix to the "name" attribute of this tag, then add . These tags cause a tag to be injected into your bootstrap .html page, which loads load_skin.js for the appropriate skin. load_skin.js loads the stylesheet and sets the CSS styleNames and media URLs that Smart GWT components will use.
To inspect your page, you can use firebug and make sure that skin_styles.css and load_skin.js are loaded.

I am working with Umbraco 7.5 grid and I've created some macros that work with javascript. I need a javascript array on the page on top of my grid so I can add my items to it.
<script>
if (!_components) _components = [];
</script>
I can do it on the normal view since I have access to master page. but how can I do it in the back office?
It will be easier to maintain if you will create separated, custom grid property editor for your control / macro. Then you'll be able to add anything you want in the output of the editor and it will be included only when the specific control will be used in backoffice.
Check documentation here: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/getting-started/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-property-editors/grid-layout/build-your-own-editor
You can also check LeBlender package - https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/leblender/. I've used it to play with the Grid a couple of times. It's giving you a visual UI to create and manage those custom editors with params and anything you need there.
I'm trying to make a drop down menu that has a bunch of items (Amelia, Cerulean, Cosmo, Cyborg, Flatly, Journal). Each of these items represent a css file.
When one of them is selected I want my website to take this selected css file and apply it to the website.
I would like the drop down menu to interact with jquery, meaning when a item is selected jquery takes over and makes a asyn/ajax call to some mvc actionresult.
By the way I'm using MVC 5.
I hope someone can help me sketch the initial groundwork.
I've implemented this in my application.
I'm not sure what to tell you though. It's easier when we have an attempted solution to fix.
Here's an overview of how mine works:
I have created a controller called SharedController. The purpose of it is to contain various actions that render common actions. All of the actions are considered ChildActionOnly.
My _Layout uses RenderAction to render the action NavbarPartial which is in my SharedController.
More importantly the Navbar partial then uses RenderAction to render the action ThemeListPartial. This action is responsible for getting a list of available themes. The list of available themes is determined at applications startup. I've created a ThemeFinder class and ThemeRepository class that are responsible for finding and storing themes. The ThemeFinder finds themes by expressions that you give it. In a new class called App_Start/ThemeConfig I've given it only one expression - "~/Content/themes/{name}.bootstrap.css". This will find all themes with that naming convention in that location.
My razor code will take the ViewModel and display a dropdown menu in the navbar.
To get the themes to change my dropdown menu contains an AJAX link to an action called SaveTheme in ThemeController. This action takes a theme name as a string and tries to save it in a cookie for the user.
If the theme is found and saved successfully, the action responds with a success message.
jQuery then changes the theme by finding the associated link attribute and changing the HREF contents to the new theme. It knows the new theme relative URL because I have it stored in data attributes.
I completed this before I made the switch to AngularJs. The one thing I plan to go back and change is to cut out as much (maybe all) jQuery as possible and replace it with better code.
I want to increase the size of the Calendar view because the default size is too small for my web application. I've tried to add a cssClass to the datetimepicker tag but it doesn't work, even if I change the width or height the only thing it changes is the field, not the calendar itself.
I'll put an image so you can understand better the problem that I have:
The thing is that the text from the field is correctly viewed, but when I click the calendar button, it shows that tiny view and it's extremelly difficult to pick one date.
The code for the datetimepicker is this:
<sx:datetimepicker name="start_date" displayFormat="dd-MMM-yyyy" value="%{'today'}" />
Any guess?
Ok, It's finally solved:
First I tried to find the file named datefilepicker.ftl inside the struts2-core.jar but I didn't find anything similar.
So after a few hours trying to find which was the correct template of datetimepicker without any luck, I tried to solve my problem using JQuery because when I was searching for the answer I found out a datepicker tutorial using this library.
There's a plugin called Struts2-JQuery that provides you with ajax functionality and therefore with multiple customizations in different widgets.
It's quite easy to install, I just had to download the correct .jar which for me it was Version 3.5.1 ( jQuery 1.8.3, jQuery UI 1.9.2 ). Once I'd downloaded the file, I just had to paste it in the lib folder inside my project. After doing that, I added this line at the beginning of the .jsp file:
<%# taglib prefix="sj" uri="/struts-jquery-tags"%>
With these steps I had jquery functionality inside my .jsp file, so the only thing left to do is to add the datepicker widget:
First I chose the jquerytheme I wanted for my widget, just like this:
<head>
<sj:head jquerytheme="flick"/>
...
</head>
And then, I added my datepicker widget:
<sj:datepicker name="start_date" displayFormat="dd-MM-yy" value="today"/>
And that's it.
If you want to resize the datepicker calendar see the answer of this post:
How to resize the jQuery DatePicker control
<sx:datetimepicker name="start_date" displayFormat="dd-MMM-yyyy" value="%{'today'}" />
It is a dojo tag, so you should be changing the template file corresponding to this tag
Freemarker changes
check for something like datetimepicker.ftl in your workspace. That would be the file rendering your calendar. Any presentation related changes will be done in that file only.
debug using firebug
Another approach can be using firebug in Mozilla firefox and manually try to change the html rendered by the tag. There might lie some CSS solution to your problem
We have used tinyMCE at several places in our app just by adding a class to the text area or whichever element wherein we need to insert TinyMCE. But when I try to add tinyMCE to a newly created text area, it doesn't get loaded. But when I inspect the code, I Can find that the Jquery.tinymce.js script has been loaded. Kindly help me out.
Looks like you call the tinymce init function on pageload.
When you create a new textarea on the fly you should init that tinymce instance explicitly.
For this use:
tinymce.execCommand('mceAddControl', false, 'id_of_the_new_textarea');
I've created a theme and applied it to my ASP.NET MVC site. However, the elements on the page aren't picking up the styles automatically. If I do the following for a specific element they get applied appropriately:
$("input[type=button]").button();
$("input[type=submit]").button();
Am I right in thinking I need to do this for all the different elements? Perhaps incorrectly, I assumed this would be done automatically by referencing the css and custom js files?
Thanks
you can write :submit instead of input[type=submit], but I know that's no the answer of your question.
The jQuery UI library only provides code to style your website, but it doesn't do it automatically. So what you need to do is something like this:
$(":submit, :button, :reset").button();
But sometimes you want to use icons or something like this, then you can use
$("#specificButton").button("option", "...", "...");
I hope it helps!
