Populate jQuery plugin defaults from json file -

-

i'm building jquery plugin, allows users use custom themes, called options so:

$('element').myfunction({   theme: '/path/to/theme' });

the theme contains file theme-info.json, contains name of theme, other metadata, , read plugin when initalised:

{   "name": "themename",   "author": "authorname" }

what i'd able do, populate default options plugin, array of plugin options json file within theme, can overridden when calling function, though had been hardcoded so:

$.fn.myfunction = function (options) {   var defaults = {     theme: '/default/theme/path',     themeoptions: {       // values called json       option1: 'value1',       option2: 'value2'     }   } }

and called plugin:

$('element').myfunction({   theme: '/path/to/theme',   themeoptions: {     option1: 'value1',     option2: 'value2'   } });

is possible read json file defaults in way? , if so, how done?

update

playing bit further, i've managed something returned, i'm struggling it. here's ajax call theme metadata , options:

$.ajax({   url: defaults.theme + 'theme-info.json',   type: 'get',   datatype: 'json',   async: false,   success:  function(data) {     themename = data.name;     var data = $.extend(true, defaults, data);     var options = $.extend(true, defaults, options);   } });

i use 

act.prepend('<script>   var parts = \'[' + json.stringify(defaults.themeoptions) + ']\';   var themeoptions = $.parsejson(parts);   var themeoptions = themeoptions[0]; </script>');

which prints following @ top of target container

var parts = '[{"backgroundcolor":"#ff5859","testvar":"tada!"}]'; var themeoptions = $.parsejson(parts); var themeoptions = themeoptions[0];

then in theme, can use variable themeoptions.backgroundcolor loads values json brilliantly. however, user defined options when calling plugin not overwriting default values json. ideas?

have jquery.getjson

with method u can read json file on fly.

c++ - Function signature as a function template parameter -

-
i'd use function signature template argument. works great classes, when try same trick function templates, msvc throws error: error c2768: 'func' : illegal use of explicit template arguments here's code: template <typename signature> void func(); template <typename r, typename a1> void func<r(a1)>(); what should make work? you cannot partially specialize function template, not supported language. can create partially specialized class template static member function, , possibly trampoline function instantiate class template , invoke static function. something this: namespace detail { template<typename signature> struct helper; template<typename r, typename a1> struct helper<r(a1)> { static void call() { // stuff r , a1... } }; } template<typename signature> void func() { detail::helper<signature>::call(); }

algorithm - What are some ways to combine a number of (potentially incompatible) sorted sub-sets of a total set into a (partial) ordering of the total set? -

-
i have sorting problem i'm pretty sure doesn't have canonical "answer" - has number of different approaches, each pros/cons. i'm interested in hearing different approaches. suppose bunch of people {p_i | i=1,...,m} ranking favorite ice cream flavors. in total there n different flavors, single person p_i ranks n_i << n flavors or familiar with. i'm interested in combining these sub-rankings plausible overall ranking of n flavors. for concrete situation: m , n both 1000 (by coincidence), , each n_i 20 . can assume there's enough overlap in flavors people rank such no flavor "isolated". again, i'm interested in hearing different ways approach this, if there isn't single clear answer. thanks! one way approach problem construct directed cyclic graph representing of constraints on ordering of elements. nodes in graph represent different elements compared , have edge first node second node if had ranked first e...

there's function on page want call after loads. not own page, can't insert html it. can please provide specific examples how chrome extension or greasemonkey?
