The Badge number is constantly increasing, even after I use the setBadgeNumber(0) method - air

I'm using the Distriqt PushNotifications ANE and PARSE to send PushNotifications, and so far everything is working PERFECTLY.
This means, I register my iOS devices and receive PushNotifications as it should be....
When I send PushNotifications with PARSE I use the badge:"Increment" value, which understandably increments the Value By +1.
After I open the App, I want to reset the BADGE to be at 0 and I use the setBadgeNumber(0) method... This also works, I tried with other values like 11, or 1 and it displays it correctly.
The Problem is that when I send another PARSE notification it displays now the old value + 1 !!!
Like so:
I use PARSE to send 3 PushNotifications
The badge displays (3)
I use the setBadgeNumber(0)
The badge displays (0)
I use PARSE to send 2 additional PushNotifications
The badge displays (5)!!!!
How can I really reset the badge?

The value of the badge is actually sent as part of the push notification payload, eg:
{
"aps" : {
"alert" : "Notification content",
"badge" : 5
}
}
You should double check what Parse is actually sending as it will be keeping a count of the notifications and sending that as part of the payload, so you will either need to disable this in Parse or notify Parse of your user resetting / changing the count.
Calling setBadgeNumber just changes the icon on the application and doesn't update Parse of this change.
You could look into the Parse ANE which helps out with this process:

Resume interrupted uploads via filepond

I'm using filepond to handle chunk uploads. Everything works fine, except one thing. Is there any way to continue interrupted uploads? I mean, for example, the customer started to upload a large video using mobile net, but she terminated it around 40%. Then, a few hours later, she want to continue the upload using wifi. Same file, but different browser, different IP address. In this case I'd like to continue the upload from the last completed chunk, not from the beginning.
As the documentation wrote:
If one of the chunks fails to upload after the set amount of retries in chunkRetryDelays the user has the option to retry the upload.
In my case there are no failed chunk uploads. The customer simply set the same file to upload.
Exactly this is what I'd want:
As FilePond remembers the previous transfer id the process now starts of with a HEAD request accompanied by the transfer id (12345) in the URL. server responds with Upload-Offset set to the next expected chunk offset in bytes. FilePond marks all chunks with lower offsets as complete and continues with uploading the chunk at the requested offset.
During upload, I send a custom header with a unique hash identifier of the file/user id, and store it in the db. When the customer wants to upload the same file, and there is an uncompleted version already uploaded, I can able to find it and send back an Upload-Offset header. This is clear for me. But I couldn't ask filepond to send HEAD/GET request before start the chunk upload, to get the correct offset. It always starts from zero.
I already checked this question, but my case is different. I don't want to continue a paused upload, I'd like to handle an abandoned but later re-uploaded file.
As I see the filepond.js (4.30.3) source code, I can create a workaround, simply add value to state.serverId. In this case the requestTransferOffset will fired, and continues the upload from the given offset.
// let's go!
if (!state.serverId) {
requestTransferId(function(serverId) {
// stop here if aborted, might have happened in between request and callback
if (state.aborted) return;
// pass back to item so we can use it if something goes wrong
transfer(serverId);
// store internally
state.serverId = serverId;
processChunks();
});
} else {
requestTransferOffset(function(offset) {
// stop here if aborted, might have happened in between request and callback
if (state.aborted) return;
// mark chunks with lower offset as complete
chunks
.filter(function(chunk) {
return chunk.offset < offset;
})
.forEach(function(chunk) {
chunk.status = ChunkStatus.COMPLETE;
chunk.progress = chunk.size;
});
// continue processing
processChunks();
});
}
...but I think this is NOT a clear way.
Was anybody facing this issue yet? Or do I missed anything, and is there a simplest way to continue interrupted uploads?

How to create "Round Robin Call Forwarding Function" in Twilio Stack

I have researched high and low through multiple websites and have not found a single fully documented solution for round-robin call forwarding with-in the Twilio stack; let alone within Twilio Studio. The last time this question was asked in detail was in 2013 so your help is greatly appreciated. I am looking to find a solution to the following to educate myself and others:
[Round Robin Scenario]
Mentioned by Phil Krnjeu on Aug 1 '13 at 23:04, "I'm trying to create a website that has a phone number on it (say, a phone number for a school). When you call that number, it has different secretary offices (A,B,C, D). I want to create something where the main number is called, and then it goes and calls phone number A the first time, the second time someone calls the main number, number B is called, C, then D. Once D is called (which would be the 4th call), the 5th call goes back to A."
The response to the above question was to use an IVR Screening & Recording application which requires the caller to pick an agent which is not a true Round Robin solution. The solution I am looking for and many others require the system to know which agent is in a group and which agent is next to receive a call.
[Key Features Needed]
Ability to add forwarding numbers as identified above A, B, C, D as a group or IVR extensions such as 1 = Management, 2 = Sales and etc...
Set a subsequent calling rule that notates in a DB of some sort. Caller A through D, for example, equals 1 unsuccessful. When caller A has been forwarded a call it now equals 0 successful then the script stops and allows the call to be answered by the user or its voicemail. Then the next call comes in and is forwarded to user B and assigned a 0 successful value, then the script stops.
After the caller finishes the call or finishes leaving a voicemail the script needs to end the call.
[Final Destination]
The round-robin should finalize its call with the forwarded phone numbers voicemail.
[Known Issues]
Forwarding a call to multiple numbers not stopping when someone answers
[Options]
Once this question is posted I am sure someone will ask in the near future what if I wanted the call to be forwarded to a Twilio voicemail instead of using the forwarded phone number's voicemail which could be let's say a cell phone. I do not necessarily need this feature, however, making an additional comment would be very helpful to the community. Thank you for your time.
I have limited knowledge of programming besides having the ability to review articles posted by other users. One article I researched in detail that did not work for me was, "IVR: Screening & Recording with PHP and Laravel."
The solution I am looking for first would be to make this code through the new Twilio Studio interface if that is not possible then any other solution would be helpful to all.
Sam here from the Twilio Support Team. You can build what you've described using Twilio's Runtime suite, Studio, and Functions.
I wrote a blog post with detailed instructions and screenshots here, and I've included a summarized version below as well.
CREATE YOUR VARIABLE
First, you need to create a serverless Variable which will be used as the round robin counter. The variable must be inside an Environment, which is inside a Service. This is the only part of the application where you will need your own laptop. You can see how to create these with any of the SDKs or using curl in the docs.
Create a Service
Create an Environment
Create a Variable
Be sure to copy the SIDs of your Service, Environment, and Variable since you will need that for your function.
For convenience, this is how you create the Variable in NodeJS.
const accountSid = 'your_account_sid';
const authToken = 'your_auth_token';
const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);
client.serverless.services('ZSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
.environments('ZEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX')
.variables
.create({key: 'key', value: 'value'})
.then(variable => console.log(variable.sid));
CREATE YOUR FUNCTION
Create the following Environment Variables here in the console and save set them equal to their respective SID that you saved earlier.
RR_SERVICE_SID
RR_ENV_SID
RR_VAR_SID_CTR
Next, make sure you check the Enable ACCOUNT_SID and AUTH_TOKEN checkbox above the Environment Variables section under Credentials.
Be sure your Twilio Client version in the Dependencies section is set to the latest, so we can be sure it includes the Serverless resources. At the time of writing (March 2020), the default Client version does not include them, so we upgraded to 3.41.1, which was the latest.
Go here in the console and create a blank Function.
Copy and paste the following code and replace the numbers with the ones you would like to include in your Round Robin (make sure the environment variables you just created match what's in the code).
exports.handler = function(context, event, callback) {
// Number List
let numbers = [
"+18652142345", //Sam
"+18651092837", //Tina
"+19193271892", //Matt
// Copy and paste line above to add another number.
];
// Initialize Twilio Client
let client = context.getTwilioClient();
// Fetch Round Robin Ctr
client.serverless.services(context.RR_SERVICE_SID)
.environments(context.RR_ENV_SID)
.variables(context.RR_VAR_SID_CTR)
.fetch()
.then(variable => {
// Use counter value to determine number to call
let number = numbers[variable.value];
// Create var with new ctr value
let ctr = variable.value;
// Check if current counter value is less than RR length (i.e. the number of numbers in round robin)
// If so, increment
if(ctr == numbers.length-1) {
ctr = 0;
}
// Otherwise reset ctr
else ctr++;
// Update counter value
client.serverless.services(context.RR_SERVICE_SID)
.environments(context.RR_ENV_SID)
.variables(context.RR_VAR_SID_CTR)
.update({value: ctr})
.then(resp => {
// Return number to call
let response = {number};
// Return our counter value and a null error value
callback(null, response);
});
});
};
CREATE YOUR STUDIO FLOW
Click the red plus sign to create a new Flow here.
Give the Flow a name and click Next.
Scroll to the bottom of the templates and click 'Import from JSON' and click Next.
Paste the Flow JSON shown here and click Next.
Click the RoundRobin function widget and select the Function you just created under the Default service.
Click the FunctionError widget, click MESSAGING & CHAT CONFIG, and change the SEND MESSAGE TO number to a number that you would like to notify by text in the event of a Function failure.
Click the DefaultNumber widget and change the default number that will be forwarded to in the event of a Function failure.
Click the Publish button at the top of your Flow.
CONFIGURE YOUR TWILIO NUMBER
Go here in the console.
Click the Twilio number you would like to configure.
Scroll down to the A CALL COMES IN dropdown in the Voice section and select Studio Flow.
Select your new Flow in the Select a Flow dropdown to the right.
Click Save at the bottom.
And that's it. You're now all set to test!

Use URL as an API method for Slackbot in Express js

I am still new to javascript and trying to write a Slackbot in express js. I want to use the method defined in https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.history. How should this look syntacticly and how do I use it since the method is simply a URL?
You need to make an http request for the URL and you'll be returned a response with an object containing the status (ok:true|false), if there are more messages (has_more:true|false), and then an array of the actual messages (messages:array).
The response should look something like this:
{
has_more:true
messages:Array[100]
ok:true
}
The url that you make the get request to should look something like:
https://slack.com/api/channels.history?token=BOT_TOKEN&channel=CHANNEL_ID&pretty=1
Where BOT_TOKEN is the token attached to the bot you created, and CHANNEL_ID is the ID (not the name) of the channel whos history you want to get (9 uppercase alphanumeric characters, starts with a "C").
There are also a few other parameters you can include in the url. For example, "latest=", "oldest=", "inclusive=", "count=", and "unreads=". Details about those parameters can be found on the page you linked to (https://api.slack.com/methods/channels.history).
If you want to test it out in your browser's console, find a page where jQuery is loaded, open your dev tools and head into the console, and enter the following (with your bot token and channel id swapped in):
$.get('https://slack.com/api/channels.history?token=BOT_TOKEN&channel=CHANNEL_ID&pretty=1', function(response){console.log(response)});

Docpad : show error/success message on contact form

I added a route in my docpad.coffee file to handle form submissions, that I validate using the express-validator middleware. Now depending on the validation, I want to redirect the users to the same contact page but displaying either a success message when validation is successful (here I'll send an email), or display the error messages.
I didn't manage to pass the validation message to the template to display it. I tried almost all combinations of dynamic: true/false, res.locals = validationMessages, res.sessions = validationMessages, res.templateData = validationMessages with no success.
Furthermore, adding dynamic: true made the changes to the content not appear at all, whatever refresh strategy I use (private mode, cleaning cache, relaunching Docpad, refreshing without cache, etc.). I should probable file a bug about it.
How to ?
I'm using Docpad 6.53.0 (latest to date), node 0.10.15, on OS X 10.8.4
I cheated on this one a bit by appending a hash to the redirect url (eg: "www.mywebsite.com/#messagesent"). I then use client side javascript to read the hash and then show the appropriate message. Something like this:
if (location.hash == "#messagesent") {
$('#message-sent').show();
setTimeout(function () {
$('#message-sent').fadeOut(1000);
}, 1000);
}
Not quite what you were asking though :)

Not able to get the type of MessageType in email app of symbian 3rd

I want to develpoe an app which sends email from IMAP4 settings of the phone.
And I am following this perticular wiki.
RSendAs send;
User::LeaveIfError(send.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(send);
RSendAsMessage sendMsg;
sendMsg.CreateL(send,**KUidMsgTypeSMTP** );
CleanupClosePushL(sendMsg);
sendMsg.SetSubjectL(_L("Incident Capture."));
sendMsg.AddRecipientL(_L("abc#xyz.com"),RSendAsMessage::ESendAsRecipientTo);
sendMsg.SetBodyTextL(_L("Image Attached"));
TRequestStatus status;
//add attachment
sendMsg.AddAttachment(_L("C:\\Data\\Images\\hhj.jpg"),status);
User::WaitForRequest(status);
sendMsg.SendMessageAndCloseL();
CleanupStack::Pop();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
Now I want KUidMsgtypeSMTP Uid. I am not getting how to use this thing.
How do I get the value of this constant.
when I used random Hex value 0x040, it gave me System Error (-1) at run time.
Thanks in advance.
You need to #include <miutset.h> system header as it contains
const TUid KUidMsgTypeSMTP = {0x10001028}; // 268439592
