Javascript files (form_#.js or details_#.js) not loaded on subsequent views

[Bauer]

I have a list that is 'ajaxified' so that opening the edit or details view is in a modal popup.

Both the form view and details view have their own javsacript files. (e.g. form_24.js and details_24.js) The popup works and the javascript files are loaded and work correctly if either the Edit or Details button is clicked.

But if, after I close the modal popup, I click either the Edit or Details (in any row) again - e..g to edit/view details in another row - the javascript files are not loaded with the modal popup. (This only happens if both the Edit and Details buttons had been previously clicked.)

Is this with very recent github (last day or two)?

Hmmm - The last date of the zip files I have downloaded from github is June 1st.

Ah, no, I see the problem.

Hmmm. We use requirejs to include those, which of course means they won't get included the second+ time.

I'll have to have a think about this one.

Not a lot I can do about this right now.

However ... it should be possible to do most stuff you need to do on a form load by hanging it on Fabrik events. So code like ...

requirejs(['fab/fabrik'], function() {
    Fabrik.addEvent('fabrik.form.elements.added', function(form) {
        alert('Elements added');
    });

    Fabrik.addEvent('fabrik.form.loaded', function(form) {
        alert('Form loaded');
    });
    alert("I done bin loaded");
});

... will run the two Fabrik event code functions on all loads. The "I bin loaded" will only run the first time.

So anything you need to do on a form load, just wrap in the fabrik.form.loaded function.

There's an equivalent fabrik.list.loaded as well.

Well at least it's not a "just me" thing this time.
I thought there would be a way to do that - and have used as similar solution before, I know. But I can never remember where to find a list of those event triggers - and even in the Wiki I'm sure the list is incomplete.

There's a LOT to know about the inner workings of Fabrik. I could never catch up to people like you, Rob, and troester. (What happened to the 'embarrassed' emotion?)

BTW. Since I posted that, I 'solved' the issue by setting Details access to 'Nobody' (it's not really needed since the list is already filtered to the user who 'owns' the record.).

But I suppose it's something that should be kept 'on the radar', as you say - or an internal solution found - because it affects any lists where other Fabrik users are doing the same thing.

When I get the time, I'll experiment with this solution nonetheless - and let you know how it goes.

I always figure out the events by just looking at the relevant JS file, like media/com_fabrik/form.js and search for "fabrik.form.".

One Of These Days I'll update the wiki.
