Where are the jive.tile.* functions documented

wb9tpg Mar 30, 2015 8:24 AM

I've searched around and can't find any documentation on it. I'm looking to determine if a tile is placed in a NARROW or WIDE column.

Ryan Rutan, where can I find the "lightweight tile API" documented?

  I guess this was suppose to be the documentation mentioned on jive-sdk's github repo --> Jive SDK Index
  But it directly shows the code files where the methods are.
  So we ended up exploring the jive-sdk code base to understand the methods.

    These functions are used in the SDK examples but they're not defined there. I used Chrome Develop Tools to look how they're all defined in Jive and came up with this list of functions but would like to see documentation on them. The source for these are not in the SDK that I can find.

      Oh yeah, there is no clear documentation for this.
      Few of these are mentioned in Tiles rest apis too.
      After understanding those I tried same concept on jive.tile.*
      
      But agreed, right now all this requires lot of digging without documentation.

        Aron Racho Yuval Z - I see Pawan referencing the auto-gen docs..and Gary reverse engineered outputs. Is there a way we can make any updates somewhere for this to be better documented? I know its throwing stuff on the pile, but just wanted to take the moment to bring it to your attention.
        
        Thanks Pawan/Gary for the open discussion!

        Good call. This is a gap in our documentation. I'll check in with Aron about addressing this.

        Thanks Yuval Z
        Due to the custom tiles introduced in 8c5, tiles have become more powerful concept in jive compared to what it was before. So worth putting more documentation on this

        Hi Yuval,
        
        Could you please mention the link to documentation of these methods for tile here.
        That would really be helpful.

      Well it's been over a year; have these been documented somewhere?

        Tile API & Development FAQ - has a list of the main functions available in the jive.tile.* packages. For some reason the Open/Close methods aren't there..but will get that fixed in a sec.

Hey Gary,
I have the similar query. I tried couple of options but could not get any success.
Could you give some hints/answers/references where I can achieve if a tile is placed in a NARROW or WIDE column.?

Thanks.
Sidd

I have tried the tile rest api.
it gives the displayWidth as the one of the return parameters, but the value is 'allowed displaywidth' which you would have mentioned in the definition.json and not the current tile column width.
jive.tile.onOpen(function(options) {
osapi.jive.core.get({
v: "v3",
href: "/tiles/"+options.tileInstanceId
}).execute(function(data){
console.log(data); // here is the return object -> content.definition.displayWidth
});

  Did you ever figure out a way to get this information?

    Late answer, but you can get the information via pages api, loop through the avaialble pages to find the tile instance you are currently in and determine the layout via the column number and used layout (e.g. wide, narrow_wide etc.) for the page.
    A little bit chunky, but it works for me...

      Perhaps an easy way could be to call the v3 tile service. Something like :
      
      osapi.jive.corev3.tiles.getTileInstance({"id":options.tileInstanceId}).execute(function(res) {
      console.log(res);
      });
      response has a column property with a numeric value
      0: wide
      1: narrow
