My question is simple, but I am struggling to find the answer. I am using meteor to create a website. With my meteor I am using iron router to navigate my pages AKA the templates. My head tag always stays the same. I only change the body by changing the template that is contained within the body using iron router. I have a page containing anchor tags with ids, I want the page to automatically scroll to a certain anchor on my web page when my template changes due to the user navigating to that page. Unfortunately I can only supply code snippets, because I am doing the webpage for a company and do not want to leak information. I think the code snippets will be sufficient.
I have tried the iron router onAfterRun:
Router.map(function(){
this.route("cpdEvents", {
path: "cpd.html#events",
onAfterRun: function() {
e.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("a[name=events]").offset().top
}, 600);
}
});
});
And I have tried the template rendered function of meteor:
if (Meteor.isClient) {
Template.cpd.rendered = function (){
e.preventDefault();
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $("a[name=events]").offset().top
}, 600);
}
}
Examples of the structure of my website, obvious not everything. Just the index html and the cpd.html where the user navigates to. The JavaScript was already shown above.
index.html:
<head>
<meta ..... />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
{{> index}}
</div>
</body>
cpd.html:
<template name="cpd">
....
<a name="events"></a>
....
</template>
Just extra information:
The Meteor version I am using contains jquery library and I have tested that my jquery works.
If I was not using meteor and using for example just HTML. This is easily done by adding '#' and the id at the end of your URL. Like www.example.com/cpdEvents#events

Not sure if I understand you right but you can add hashtags in meteor too. Just route with iron-route r to a new hashtag by clicking your href.
<li><a href="{{pathFor 'posts.index'}}"><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-home'></span> Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="{{pathFor 'overview' hash='about'}}"><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-user'></span> About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="{{pathFor 'overview' hash='meetup'}}"><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-map-marker'></span>My Meetup</a></li>
<li><a href="{{pathFor 'overview' hash='contact'}}"><span class='glyphicon glyphicon-envelope'></span> Contact Me</a></li>
Than iron-router automatically scrolls to that hashtag if it is found on that page. By overriding the scrollToHash-function you can change the scroll behavior.
Router._scrollToHash = function(hash) {
var section = $(hash);
if (section.length) {
var sectionTop = section.offset().top;
$("html, body").animate({
scrollTop: sectionTop
}, "slow");
}
};
Have a look on my website Click. There I have the access with the navbar on aboutme, meetup, contact by staying at the same page and just changing the hashtags.
