0 List Grid View using jQuery

List Grid View using jQuery

In almost every e-commerce website that you are designing, the feature to switch between list and grid view is very essential to facilitate better display of the huge product catalog. This is very simple to achieve using jQuery, as you can visualize the very minimal version in the jsfiddle showcased here.

To make this more complete, I experimented showcasing product catalog with fade-in and fade-out transitions while switching between grid and list views. In this post, let us see how to create fading list/grid view switcher with components to display product catalog using jQuery and css.

DEMO DOWNLOAD

1. First let us prepare the content to be dynamically styled according to the view selected. I have used font-awesome icons for displaying list and gridview switch controls in the demo and it is absolutely optional, you can choose to use buttons or links. So first let us place the switching controls inside body tag.

1	<div id="viewcontrols">

2	<a class="gridview">

3	<i class="fa fa-th fa-2x"></i>Grid

4

</a>

5	<a class="listview active">

6	<i class="fa fa-list fa-2x">List</i>

7

</a>

8

</div>

Next let us add an unordered list containing product details. Each list-item represents one product and I have displayed only one list below, since it is the same for all products. In the demonstration, I have used eight products, that means I have used the list-item eight times.

01	<ul class="list">

02

<li>

03	<img src="images/barbie_8.jpg" height="250px" width="250px"/>

04	<section class="list-left">

05	<span class="title">PRODUCT NAME</span>

06	<p>Product description goes here. Aliquam tincidunt diam varius

07	ultricies auctor. Vivamus faucibus risus tempus,

08	adipiscing justo

09

</p>

10	<div class="icon-group-btn">

11	<a title="Add to Cart" href="javascript:void(0);" class="btn-cart">

12	<span class="icon-cart"></span>

13	<span class="icon-cart-text">

14	Add To Cart

15

</span>

16

</a>

17	<a title="Add to wishlist" href="#" class="btn-wishlist">

18	<span class="icon-wishlist"></span>

19	<span class="icon-wishlist-text">

20	Add To Wishlist

21

</span>

22

</a>

23	<a title="Add to Compare" href="#" class="btn-compare">

24	<span class="icon-compare"></span>

25	<span class="compare-text">

26	Add To Compare

27

</span>

28

</a>

29

</div>

30	</section>

31	<section class="list-right">

32	<span class="price">$50</span>

33	<span class="detail"><a class="button">Details</a></span>

34	</section>

35

</li>

36

</ul>

2. Next we need two different css styles for displaying list and grid views. I have not displayed miscellaneous css styles here that are not mandatory to achieve list and grid layouts. However if you like to design a product catalog exactly like what is shown in the demonstration you can download this project and use it.

LIST LAYOUT

01

ul.list{

02	width: 800px;

03	margin-right: 15%;

04	margin-left: 15%;

05

}

06	ul.list li {

07	background: #F7F7F7;

08	border-bottom: 1px dotted #CCC;

09	margin-bottom: 50px;

10	padding-right: 20px;

11	height: 250px;

12

}

13	ul.list li img{

14	float: left;

15	margin-right: 10px;

16	padding-bottom: 0;

17	border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;

18

}

19	ul.list li p{

20	overflow:hidden;

21	word-wrap:break-word;

22	width:250px;

23

}

24	ul.list li .title{

25	overflow:hidden;

26	word-wrap:break-word;

27	font-size:24px;

28

}

29	ul.list li .list-left{

30	width:300px;

31	position:absolute;

32	padding-left:260px;

33

}

34	ul.list li .list-right{

35	width:150px;

36	float:right;

37

}

38	ul.list li .price{

39	float:right;

40	font-size:56px;

41	display: block;

42	margin-right: 10px;

43	text-align: right;

44	width:100%;

45	color:#4FAFC2;

46

}

47	ul.list li .detail{

48	float:right;

49	display:block;

50

}

GRID LAYOUT

01	ul.grid li { float: left; width: 265px; height: 440px; border-right: 1px dotted #CCC; border-bottom: 1px dotted #CCC;margin:20px; background:#F7F7F7; }

02	ul.grid li img{text-align:center;width:100%;}

03	ul.grid li p{display:none;}

04	ul.grid li .list-left{text-align:left;font-size:24px;margin-left: 10px;margin-top:10px;}

05	ul.grid li .icon-group-btn{font-size:14px;}

06	ul.grid li .list-right{display:block;width:100px;margin-left: 10px;}

07	ul.grid li .list-right .price{font-size:24px;display:block;color:#4FAFC2;}

08

ul.grid{

09	width: 950px;

10	margin-left: 10%;

11

}

3. Finally let use jQuery to switch between grid and listviews with fade-in and fade-out effect.

01	<script type="text/javascript">

02	$(document).ready(function () {

03	var elem=$('ul');

04	$('#viewcontrols a').on('click',function(e) {

05	if ($(this).hasClass('gridview')) {

06	elem.fadeOut(1000, function () {

07	elem.removeClass('list').addClass('grid');

08	elem.fadeIn(1000);

09

});

10

}

11	else if($(this).hasClass('listview')) {

12	elem.fadeOut(1000, function () {

13	elem.removeClass('grid').addClass('list');

14	elem.fadeIn(1000);

15

});

16

}

17

});

18

});

19

</script>

That is all. Do not forget to include jQuery library reference inside head tag of your html. Enjoy the demo and download the project to see how other components inside every list-item is styled.

0 Emirates of uae

The United Arab Emirates is consists of seven emirates, which occupy the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Each emirate, unique and rich in tradition, is an essential component necessary for making up the whole.

ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi, by far the largest emirate, is ruled by the Al Nahyan family. It occupies 67,340 square kilometres or 86.7% of the total area of the country. The emirate is primarily a vast desert area with about two dozen islands in the coastal waters, including the island where the city of Abu Dhabi is located, plus six sizeable islands further out in the Arabian Gulf. The population of the emirate is concentrated in three areas: the capital city, Abu Dhabi; Al Ain, an oasis city located near the Hajar Mountains; and the villages of the Liwa oases.

Traditionally, the population along the coast relied on fishing and pearling for their livelihood, whilst those in the hinterland relied on date plantations and camel herding. Through remarkable leadership and personal commitment, His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan developed Abu Dhabi into an influential, fully modernised state. Upon Sheikh Zayed's death in November 2004, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan became UAE President and Ruler of Abu Dhabi.

DUBAI

Dubai, the second largest of the seven emirates, is ruled by the Al Maktoum family. It occupies an area of approximately 3,900 kilometres, which includes a small enclave called Hatta, situated close to Oman, amongst the Hajar Mountains. Dubai, the capital city, is located along the creek, a natural harbour, which traditionally provided the basis of the trading industry. Pearling and fishing were the main sources of income for the people of Dubai. Under the wise leadership of its rulers, Dubai's focus on trade and industry transformed it into the leading trading port along the southern Gulf. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the current ruler of Dubai.
 

SHARJAH

Sharjah, which shares its southern border with Dubai, is ruled by the Al Qasimi family. It is approximately 2,600 square kilometres and is the only emirate to have coastlines on both the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. In the nineteenth century the town of Sharjah was the leading port in the lower Gulf. Produce from the interior of Oman, India and Persia arrived there. Sharjah's salt mines meant that salt constituted an important part of its export business, along with pearls. In the 1930s when the pearling industry declined and trade decreased due to the creek silting up, Imperial Airways' flying boats set up a staging post for flights en route to India, which benefited the residents of Sharjah. Today, under the leadership of Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Sharjah is the cultural and educational centre of the UAE and takes pride in preserving the country's cultural heritage as well as promoting Arab culture and traditions.

AJMAN

Ajman is the smallest emirate, comprising only 260 square kilometres. It is ruled by the Al Nuami family. Surrounded mostly by the emirate of Sharjah, Ajman also possesses the small enclaves of Manama and Musfut in the Hajar Mountains. Along the creek dhow building was the specialised trade. Fishing and date-trees provided the local population with their primary means of sustenance. Ajman benefited greatly from the union of the emirates, a fact that is reflected today in their stately buildings and infrastructure. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuami has been the ruler since 1981.

UMM AL QAIWAIN

Umm Al Qaiwain is ruled by the Al Mualla family. It is the second smallest emirate, with a total area of around 770 square kilometres. Positioned between the emirates of Sharjah and Ajman to the south and Ras Al Khaimah to the north, Umm Al Qaiwain has the smallest population. Fishing is the local population's primary means of income. Date farming also plays a significant role in the economy. After the union of the emirates in 1971 Umm Al Qaiwain developed into a modern state, and continues to progress under its present ruler, Sheikh Rashid bin Ahmed Al Mualla.
 

RAS AL KHAIMAH

Ras Al Khaimah, the most northerly emirate, is ruled by another branch of the Al Qasimi family. It covers an area of 1,700 square kilometres. Thanks to the run-off water from the Hajar Mountains, Ras Al Khaimah has a unique abundance of flora, so it is no surprise that agriculture is important to the local economy. The emirate also benefits from its stone quarries, and fishing, which is plentiful in the rich waters of the Gulf. The city of Ras Al Khaimah, situated on an inlet, has a rich history. It was renowned for its prosperous port and for its exquisite pearls, which were famous as being the whitest and roundest available anywhere. Ras Al Khaimah's current ruler is Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi.

FUJAIRAH

The only emirate without a coastline on the Arabian Gulf is Fujairah, which is ruled by the Al Sharqi family. Situated along the coast of the Gulf of Oman, Fujairah covers about 1,300 square kilometres. Unlike other emirates, where the desert forms a large part of the terrain, mountains and plains are its predominant features. Fujairah's economy is based on fishing and agriculture. Like Ras Al Khaimah, the land in Fujairah is irrigated by rainwater from the Hajar Mountains, making it ideal for farming. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi is the present ruler.

0 Ajax Image Upload using PHP and jQuery

Following steps are pointed under this process :

1.  Include jQuery library.

2.  HTML page with upload field.

3.  jQuery Ajax code.

3.  PHP script to store image.

 Ajax Code :

$.ajax({
url: "ajax_php_file.php", // Url to which the request is send
type: "POST",             // Type of request to be send, called as method
data: new FormData(this), // Data sent to server, a set of key/value pairs (i.e. form fields and values)
contentType: false,       // The content type used when sending data to the server.
cache: false,             // To unable request pages to be cached
processData:false,        // To send DOMDocument or non processed data file it is set to false
success: function(data)   // A function to be called if request succeeds
{
$('#loading').hide();
$("#message").html(data);
}
});

PHP code used to store the image :

$sourcePath = $_FILES['file']['tmp_name'];       // Storing source path of the file in a variable
$targetPath = "upload/".$_FILES['file']['name']; // Target path where file is to be stored
move_uploaded_file($sourcePath,$targetPath) ;    // Moving Uploaded file
