dropdowns only trigger once

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23606078

Question

I have two filter dropdowns on this site which will only trigger the first time I press them. According to my studies it seems that it has to do with turbolinks, which I've disabled by adding data-no-turbolink to the body tag like so:

<body data-no-turbolink>
...
</body>

I've also tried adding this to all of the dropdown links and the link to open the dropdown.

<a href="some-link" data-no-turbolink>...</a>

It seems to work on development, but when I push to Heroku, it seems turbolinks are running again. Any suggestions?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If Turbolinks is an issue, it can be removed entirely from the project by following the instructions provided e.g. here:

  1. remove gem 'turbolinks' from the Gemfile and run bundle update
  2. remove //= require turbolinks from app/assets/javascripts/application.js
  3. remove "data-turbolinks-track" => true from the stylesheet and javascript tags in the header of application.html.erb layout file.

Quoting Rails 4 In Action:

...it's our opinion that Turoblinks is great to speed up mostly-server-side sites, but as soon as you start writing some JavaScript, it causes more problems than it's worth.
