I am looking for a way to make test cases that can be added to the admin dashboard of a laravel website. For example if a page on the website does contain a form to submit to the database in the dashboard the form can be tested for errors and even submission speed and if the form is collecting the right type of data integer field and string fields.
I click of a button and the forms and content will be tested.
I would really like to know how I can setup something like this but not really sure what to search for, any links are welcome to a website or message.
Best regards

I have a Vue 2 app that I'm working on and it kind of works like a search engine - I have a search bar where I can look up any term and when the search runs, results containing that specific term will be displayed.
Now, every result behaves like a link - if I click on it, I will be redirected to a totally different app, which is made in Angular (not sure if this is relevant, I guess you could think only that I navigate to a whole different domain and leave my Vue app).
The issue is that if I click the "back" button in my browser, I will not have the results that I left from, because once I leave my Vue app, its data is deleted.
I was thinking of storing the url containing the search term in local storage and get it when I open the Vue app again, but I don't think this is an option, as it would also behave like this if I refresh the page - moment when I want to have no search query at all.
Please ask for any clarifications needed.
Any suggestions on what could be done are appreciated.
I've been trying to figure this out using various different methods. I'm trying to create a script/bookmark or some type of quick action to open a browser tab or window with a specific URL, and automatically log me in using my credentials. I'm not all that concerned about security for this at the moment.
At first I figured I'd try to use a javascript bookmark to do this, but nothing I found in my research worked. Next I tried to create a bash script, but I couldn't figure out how to send the credentials in via the terminal. Most recently, I literally copied the source code of a site, created a local file and tried to hack together something where I could prefill the form data with credentials and use JS to submit the form, and I've gotten close with this, but for some reason when I use the JS submit function, it errors out and says that the username and password are invalid. But when i turn off the submit function and manually click "log in" on my local html page, it works as expected. I want this to be a one click process, so the idea of using onload/submit or something to that affect is really important to me.
The site I'm testing with has a Rails backend and my next attempt might be trying to use POST to do what I'm thinking, but that's currently outside of my level of knowledge on the subject.
Anyone answering: i do not want to use a password manager to accomplish this.
My requirement is that i will either be able to a) run a script or b) use a 1-click option to do this per website. Ideally i'd be able to set this up in a sort of programmatic way to do this with multiple sites, but I'd be happy with 1 at the moment.
i know similar questions have been answered before, but I haven't been able to use information from those posts (the ones I've seen anyway) to figure out a good way to do this.
Create a bookmark for the current page you have opened.
Edit the bookmark
Change the value for the URL to something like this.
(javascript:(function(){CODE_GOES_HERE_FROM_BELLOW})();
find the field for username and password on the page.
Given example for hotmail
var inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var i=0;i<inputs.length;i++){if(inputs[i].name === 'passwd'){inputs[i].value = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'}else if(inputs[i].name === 'loginfmt'){inputs[i].value = 'YOUR_USERNAME'}}; document.getElementById(document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].id).submit();
OR
try out casperjs.
The proposed solution didn't work for me and rather than spending tons of time installing a testing framework that I'll never use other than for this purpose, I decided to try to do this another way.
First, I found out that the reason my JS wasn't working before is because the site did not allow a JS submit to be done, or atleast that's what it seemed to be when I got this error: "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience"
The javascript I was using was in fact working, just not submitting. I used the following code to fill the fields (using "Class Name" elements on the page since there was no name or ID):
document.getElementsByClassName('username')[0].setAttribute('value', 'user');
document.getElementsByClassName('password')[0].setAttribute('value', 'password');
As I mentioned, the problem was when I tried to use JQuery to submit the form: document.getElementsByClassName('loginForm')[0].submit();
Which is when the above error cropped up. I can't really say for sure whether this is the root of the cause, but the page does submit, but I get an invalid username/password error when I do
I haven't figured out a great way to get around this just yet, but my short-term, "hacky" solution was to use Applescript to send a return keystroke to the browser to submit the form. I'd ideally like to figure out how to get the submission to work using JQuery, but I'm not sure how to get around it.
I've added a contact button on the title bar but I can't get my contact form to display. Has anyone done this?
First of all, the contact button Module field should point to a new Activity module like VerticalContainerActivity which should contain an HtmlView module in its body. This HtmlView displays your contact page - put the address in its ContentUrl. Most of these steps are identical to what you'll find in this tutorial.
You can see an example of this in the diamonds sample app. Create a new app from the diamond store starting point and see how the contact button is implemented there.
The second important point to remember is that you shouldn't use regular store URLs in your Appixia app. When the user sees them, they would see your Prestashop theme with all the navigation and this will be very confusing inside a mobile app. Instead, make a mobile friendly version of your contact page which doesn't use your Prestashop theme and only shows the contact info content.
Using the Prestashop Contact Form in your Appixia app:
I'm not sure this is a 100% good idea in terms of usability. I don't recommend using a web form for contact in a mobile app.
A mobile phone is a communication device. It is has special integration for making phone calls and sending emails - I really recommend you use these methods instead. Look at the HTML source of this example to see how simple it is to integrate (it's just a link in your HTML).
In order to encourage your users to contact, you need to ask them for as little info as possible. Your website contact form makes your users type in their email address. If they email you directly through their device (with a mailto: link), their correct email will be filled automatically. Same with making a call, when they tap on the link, the number will be dialed automatically for them.
If you really insist on implementing the Prestashop contact form, this will require some Prestashop php games. You should find the contact form controller in the Prestashop source and create the same form (in php or hardcoded HTML) without your website theme. It will be a little annoying because after we submit the form, we also need to make sure the confirmation message is also displayed without your website theme.
Situation: I needed to add form with POST method to CMS page. I created custom hook and a module displaying the form successfully. Then I need to react to user input errors eg. when user doesn't enter email address I need to detect it, display the whole page again together with the form and with "errors" in user input clearly stated.
Problem: The problem is to display the WHOLE page again with connected information (eg. about errors etc.). In the module PHP file when I add this kind of code,
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'modulename.tpl');
it (naturally) displays ONLY the form, not the whole CMS page with the form.
In case of this code,
Tools::redirectLink('cms.php?id_cms=7');
I can't get to transfer any information by GET neither POST method.
$_POST['test'] = 1;
Tools::redirectLink('cms.php?id_cms=7&test');
I tried to assign to smarty variables too
$smarty->assign('test', '1');
(I need to use it in .tpl file where the form itself is created) but no way to get it work.
{if isset($test)}...,
{if isset($smarty.post.test)}...,
{if isset($_POST['test'])}... {* neither of these conditionals end up as true *}
Even assigning a GET parameter to url has no impact, because there is link rewriting to some kind of friendly url I guess, no matter I included other argument or not. ([SHOPNAME]/cms.php?id_cms=7&test -> [SHOPNAME]/content/7-cmspage-name)
My question is: is there a way to "redirect" or "reload" current page (or possibly any page generally) in prestashop together with my own data included?
I kind of explained the whole case so I'm open to hear a better overall solution than my (maybe I'm thinking about the case in a wrong way at all). This would be other possible answer.
The simplest method would be to use javascript to validate the form - you can use jQuery to highlight the fields that are in error; providing visual feedback on how the submission failed. In effect you don't allow the user to submit the form (and thus leave the page) until you're happy that the action will succeed. I assume that you will then redirect to another page once a successful submission has been received.
There's lots of articles and how-tos available for using javascript, and indeed jQuery for form validation. If you want to keep the site lean and mean, then you can provide an override for the CMS controller and only enqueue the script for the specific page(s) you want to use form validation on.
If the validation is complex, then you might be best using AJAX and just reloading the form section of your page via a call to your module. Hooks aren't great for this kind of thing, so you might want to consider using an alternative mnethod to inject your code onto the cms page. I've written a few articles on this alternative approach which can be found on my prestashop blog
Does anyone know how to dynamically change the page title in Sitefinity from a regular user control?
Our scenario is simple. We have a real estate website with a search feature. On the search results page we have a control showing the search results, but we need to be able to change the Page title, description and keywords based on the search performed.
We posted on Telerik, but they gave vague answers and pointed us to incorrect objects or objects that didn't actually work.
?

The way I've usually done this in the past is by using an external widget template.
By mapping your widget template to an external file, you can use a full User Control (.ascx file) which means you can also run code behind.
From there it's just a matter of running something like
Page.Title = "whatever";
For more info on using an external template for Sitefinity Widgets, check out this post: http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/joshmorales/posts/11-05-10/mapping_external_templates_for_sitefinity_4_widgets.aspx
Hope this is helpful!
