powmedia / backbone.xview Goto Github PK

Hi,

I am planning to use your plugin for my book, and had an example working previously.

Strangely, after switching to {pushState: false} the latest DetailsView is not cleaned up, see demo: http://pipefishbook.com/ch_4/# (select a movie, and then click "home")

And the source: at https://github.com/pipefishbook/ch_4/blob/master/layout/app/views/layout.js#L17-L31

Is this is an issue with Backbone.XView ? I've the impression that it might be a zombie view, but not sure.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi,

I was wondering how this works with non underscore template engines.
When using a template string, it fails with:

Uncaught TypeError: Property 'template' of object [object Object] is not a function 

Maybe it would make sense to check if template is a function or not?

Hi,

I am stuck with a simple looking thing.

I had 1 view added and removed dynamically to the layout:

  setDetails: function(movie) {
    if (this.currentDetails) {
      this.removeView(this.currentDetails);
      this.render();
    }
    var view = new DetailsView({model: movie});
    this.addView('#details', {id: view.cid}, view);
    this.currentDetails = view.cid;
  }

So far, and re-rendering was working great. Now, I've added a 3rd view like this:

    this.addView('#overview', new MoviesList({
      collection: options.router.movies,
      router: options.router
    }));
    this.addView('#controls', new Controls({
      collection: options.router.movies
    }));

and also tried the unwrap mode:

    Backbone.$('#controls').html((new Controls({
      collection: options.router.movies
    })).render());

Strangely, after the first adding/removing of a view in the layout, the control view becomes a zombie view. Any ideas how to debug this? That would be great, thanks!
