Views ajax feature conflict

Thanks e-anima
Patch working for me

I discovered this problem in parallel by having an ajax loading bit on a page with a dhtml menu. in addition to the multiple passes causing bouncy menus, the menus I had the cloned menu item apearing 2, 3, 5 times depending on how many ajax calls happened. D:

So I searched here and found this issue, but I have a serious doubt about this patch. I mean, doesn't this patch avoid using the the drupal 7 behaviors update?

instead of:

 Drupal.behaviors.dhtmlMenu = { 
   attach: function() {
...

why not use:

 Drupal.behaviors.dhtmlMenu = { 
   attach: function(context, settings)
...

and then change your calls like:

    // Sanitize by removing "expanded" on menus already marked "collapsed".
    $('li.dhtml-menu.collapsed.expanded').removeClass('expanded');

    /* Relevant only on "open-only" menus:
     * The links of expanded items should be marked for emphasis.
     */
    if (settings.nav == 'open') {
      $('li.dhtml-menu.expanded').addClass('dhtml-menu-open');
    }
...

with the recommended style:

    // Sanitize by removing "expanded" on menus already marked "collapsed".
  $('li.dhtml-menu.collapsed.expanded', context).once('dhtml', function() { 
    $(this).removeClass('expanded'); 
  });

    /* Relevant only on "open-only" menus:
     * The links of expanded items should be marked for emphasis.
     */
    if (settings.nav == 'open') {
      $('li.dhtml-menu.expanded', context).once('dhtml', function () {
        $(this).addClass('dhtml-menu-open');
      });
    }
... 

Though, I typically don't use in line functions, and instead define new functions (even if relatively simple), as in:

Drupal.dhtmlMenu.removeExpanded = function() {
  // Removing "expanded".
  $(this).removeClass('expanded'); 
}
Drupal.dhtmlMenu.addOpen = function() {
  // Adding "open".
  $(this).addClass('dhtml-menu-open'); 
}
...

So then your attach code is cleaner looking (instead of the above...):

    // Sanitize by removing "expanded" on menus already marked "collapsed".
  $('li.dhtml-menu.collapsed.expanded', context).once('dhtml', Drupal.dhtmlMenu.removeExpanded);

    /* Relevant only on "open-only" menus:
     * The links of expanded items should be marked for emphasis.
     */
    if (settings.nav == 'open') {
      $('li.dhtml-menu.expanded', context).once('dhtml', Drupal.dhtmlMenu.addOpen);
    }
... 

Either with or without defined functions, just using context and .once() in addition to being part of the best practices, will also make sure that you won't re-run your js over the same section ever -- no matter how many ajax calls you load., and you offer the possibility of having ajax added dhtml menus. Although it's perhaps too complicated a system for *that* to work out of the box.

@jefkin agree with this method as well. any chance we could squeeze a patch out of you to make it happen? Id be happy to commit it post haste after a review.

@michaelfavia, well quick patch squeezed out. I've tested in all the ways that I use it, (clone). But we should have people checking that use other ways.

without the debugging drivel I left in the top on #6 :-/

Quite a patch there ;) I'll do my best to review it tonight or tomorrow and depending on that get it added to the dev branch with proper attribution to you. Thank you!

@michaelfavia

I forgot a last minute change I added two weeks ago.

Uhh :-/ , after a bit of testing my team found a few minor flaws, and one semi-serious one in the patch I last sent.

I'm attaching the specific spot changes based on the #7 patch: "1178226-drupal-standards-behavior-2.patch" to fix it, as well as a full patch from head: "1178226-drupal-standards-behavior-full.patch".

I'm happy to let you know that this newest version is being used in a production site now for 2 weeks without a problem :D

Thx for the path ! Works here too :)

the latest patch in #9 solves the problem. Just that the patch doesn't work quite well due to some issue in the file itself. Hence, you will need to patch it manually.

Apart from that, it works great ;) Thanks!

As mentioned, it has to be patched manually, but I'm getting pretty confused trying to do this, can anyone provide a copy of the fully patched file?

Thanks

Please the patch needs re-roll... I set the issue to Needs work.

Add Needs reroll in Issue tags.

I also unassigned the issue of @michaelfavia.
