renderCollection inside of contacts.js

[jabelman]

When does it ever get called? My contacts list never shows anything, so I followed all of the code for doing the status list to see why that one was working but not contacts list. It looks like you did all of the status list updating inside of the render function in the profile view. I am pretty sure my renderCollection function for the chat view isn't working for the same reason as it isn't working in the contacts view. It appears that renderCollection never gets called anywhere throughout the whole repository... is that something the browser is supposed to do automatically?

I see there is this line in the initialize function:

this.collection.on('reset', this.renderCollection, this);

My new question is where does this.collection come from and when does the 'reset' happen?

[jabelman]

i changed 'reset' to 'add' and now it actually steps into renderCollection; however, I have encountered a myriad of new issues

Add {reset:true} as argument to your contactsCollection.fetch function in router.js

contactsCollection.fetch({reset:true});

the question is in contacts.js , change '.contacts_list' to '#contacts_list'
