   Hi Matteo,

   I’m trying to implement the mb-containerplus component on a new site and am having some troubles figuring out how to use it to open external links in the containers? I found an old message (about 4 years old) that had this:

   to open a container via a LINK:
   1. initialize your container as closed ( {buttons:’m', icon:’chart.png’, skin:’black’, width:’500′,dock:’dock’,closed:’true’, rememberMe:true,title:’container Demo’})
   2. on your link add: onclick=”$(‘#[yourContainerID]‘).mb_open();”

   But I think the mb_open() method doesn’t exist in the 3.0, and I can’t quite figure out how this is supposed to work… Is there any sample of this anywhere? If I could just see some working code where a link is opened in a new container it would be so helpful!

   Thanks,
   Eddie

   Let me start by saying … I am very new to both JQuery and coding in general. That being said, I seem to have been able to implement containerPlus successfully. I see methods? that allow you to initialize the container closed or collapsed but none for dock. Can you briefly explain how I could have a container start in the docked position.

   Thanks – plugin is really helpful. Never could have done this on my own.

      Hi Phillip,
      As for the other container property you have to add the “iconize” data attribute passing the id of the “dock” where you need the container iconize at start:

      ...

      That way the container will start as iconized inside the specified “dock”.

      Bye,
      Matteo

   I love this control, I’ve used the older version in a few project and I’m currently working on a new project using 3.52 and I love the added customization options. So much better then the haks I’ve used in the past.

   What I was wondering is if there was a way to return a value from a method?

   I’ve added a custom Method that works like jquery html for changing the contents of my containers, but I can’t get it to return the contents. All it returns is false.

      Hi Michael,
      methods can’t return value actually;
      You can anyway attach the returned value as DATA of the container and then get it back:
      in the method you can set: el.data("html", value)

      But if your need is to change the content of a container there’s yet the “changecontent” method you can use:

      jQuery.containerize.addMethod("changecontent", function(ajaxURL, data){
jQuery.cMethods.changecontent = {name: "changecontent", author:"pupunzi", type:"plug-in", version:"1.0"};
var el = this;
var contentPlaceHolder = el.content;

      // if data is a string convert it to object
      data = data!=null && typeof data == "string" ? eval("("+data+")") : data;

      var request = jQuery.ajax({
url : ajaxURL,
type : "GET",
data : data,
cache : false,
dataType: "html"
});
request.done(function (resp) {
contentPlaceHolder.html(resp);
});
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
contentPlaceHolder.html("error: "+textStatus);
});
return el.$;
})

      Bye,
      Matteo

      Thanks, for the response. I hadn’t thought of using the data to get the data out. I’ll probably use that.

      I started with the changecontent method, but I want to keep all my calls going through a single function so I thought just having an easy way to change the content on the fly would be handy. I’ve also written a custom title method to change the title of my containers.

      I really like being able to have a single file with all my custom additions to containerPlus.

      Thanks for making so many great plugins.

      Hi,
      I’ll see to fix the “return false” problem with the next release.
      Keep in touch,
      Matteo
