Create custom advance search filter in CGridView in YII - yii

I have a model which contains emails with some other fields.
I want a custom filter in Yii CGridView's advance search which when applied, lists only Invalid Email IDs (using regular expression '^[A-Z0-9._%-]+#[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$')
Note: I dont want to add any column in CGridView

I hope to help you out,
you will need several things
the line for filtering in the column of your choice...(i recommend you create a new attribute for this, ask me in comments if you want to know more why.) this goes in the cgridview of course:
'filter'=>CHtml::activeCheckBox($model, $attributeEmail)
the condition in your search of function that brings up the model.
Supposing you have a criteria inside your search in your model wich help you with your filtering what you need is ...
if($this->EMAIL == TRUE)
{
$criteria->addCondition("\"t\".\"EMAIL\" email NOT LIKE '%_#__%.__%'");
}
Why not to use regex and make a KISS approach ? better read this first...
Sql script to find invalid email addresses
I'd be glad to hear your comments it is interesting question for yii dev's btw

Algolia vue-instantsearch : disjunction between two distincts facets

Using algolia vue-instantsearch, i’m encountering a special case and i’m having an hard time finding a solution.
Refinement behaviors is that you get the results that matches all your refinement filters.
If i filter on a brand and a price, i’ll get the results that matches both the brand and the price.
I need to add some specific filters that work differently. I would like to be able to say “returns me the results that matches either refinementA, or refinementB, or refinementC.”
The reason is that those refinements are checking fields that are not present on all the products.
If i check a value for refinementA, i want to keep all the results that has no value for field corresponding to refinementA, but remove those that has a value for refinementA that does not match with the one i filtered one.
Im thinking about handling myself some inputs instead of ias-components, and modifying by hand each query that is send to algolia by checking the value of my own inputs when searchFunction is triggered (https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/widgets/instantsearch/js/#widget-param-searchfunction).
I did not found yet how i can trigger a search from an non-vue-instantsearch input event, and i’m not sure how the above solution could affect the internal working of vue-instantsearch.
I’m looking for feedbacks about a more standard way of doing this, or for any advices !
I got the answer by exchanging with a vue-instantsearch maintainer.
vue-instantsearch does not provide any option to do it.
A workaround is to overwrite algoliasearch search method, that is used under the hood by vue-instant-search.
const client = algoliasearch('', '');
const originalSearch = client.search;
client.search = function search(queries) { ... }

Inputs for searching (form:select)

Is it possible to use Search like this in order to refer a specific {name} provided by an input? I want to create an input form like: <form:select items="${cars}" path="car" itemLabel="type" itemValue="id"/>. This is my controller mapping: #GetMapping("/searchby/{name}"). Thanks!
it should be possible but not recommended, from what i know using url parameters (domain.com/page?value=theValue) is better

How can we make an Item in socialengine?

I know how to get an item of the particular table. Like for user we can have
$userItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("user", $userId);
or for a custom table
$customItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("custom", $customeId);
I want to know the code or method how can I make my $customItem to work the same way as $userItem works for users table. So that I can get data or manipulate the data of custom table
Thanks for your help. :-)
You can achieve that by creating a model. Check how it's done in /application/modules/User/Model. There is User.php file that declares User_Model_User and methods available for User such as getTitle, get Href etc.
You may use similar approach for your custom item. You will also need to create a file similar to /application/modules/User/Model/DbTable/User.php to declare table for your custom items.

Shopify: Filtering collections by custom filter

I'm new with liquid and ruby, but I would like to create a custom filter in a collection, to filter by metafields. I already have:
A dropdown in the collection.liquid, with the values I would like to filter for.
When selecting a filter, it goes to a link like: https://myshop.myshopify.com/collections/my-collection/my-filter . Basically it is like the tags, but with my filter instead
However, since it is a custom filter and not a tag, I get no results. I'm wondering where is the query that displays all the products (or filters) is in the code. I know that it depends on the theme, but I'm using the default theme: launchpad-star.
Not sure if I could do it this way or with a link like: https://myshop.myshopify.com/collections/my-collection?filter_by=my-filter , in which case, I would also need where should the logic go.
I've looked at the forums already and found two closed tickets with no responses: https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-design/t/using-metafields-to-create-filter-drop-downs-in-collection-liquid-187513 and https://ecommerce.shopify.com/c/ecommerce-design/t/using-metafields-to-create-filter-drop-downs-in-collection-liquid-134401 .
Thanks in advance
Probably not the best solution, but this is what I did to solve the problem:
I changed to the second option of the url, so when a user selects an option in the combobox, it is sent to a URL like: myshop.myshopify.com/collections/my-collection?filter_by=my-filter
In product-grid-item.liquid, I'm getting the metafield value of the product and displaying it as a class, and hide all the products as default. In the collection.liquid I read with javascript the value of the parameter (filter_by) and remove the "hide" class of the products with the value of the filter_by as class, so it gets displayed.
I feel that it is not very clean, but it is working as expected. Problems with this solution:
* Not displaying all the products and then filtering them
* I need to display all the products to avoid pagination, which could be a big problem if I have a lot of products.
If anyone could post a better solution, welcome!.

Creating tags on posts RAILS

I am making something that's like that autocomplete tags field for the posts on stackoverflow.com
I want to make it so that when you make a blog post, you can tag it with words in a database, similar to SO.
For the posts, it belongs_to_and_has_many tags
For the tags, it belongs_to_and_has_many posts
However it is a problem for me to do it on the same page because #post would be nil.
How can I implement this?
(If someone can give me the code for the stackoverflow ask question page that would be AWESOME)
I think the problem here is that it seems like you are asking two different questions. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
The first question is how you would implement the autocomplete feature to allow users to easily select from a pre-populated list of tags. To answer this, you might refer to spncrgr's answer above.
The second question is how to deal with associating these retrieved tags to the current post. For this you can add additional javascript functionality to your autocomplete solution. When a user selects which tag they want from the autocomplete field, you can do like StackOverflow does and add the tag to a list of tags in a single text field. These can be either space or comma delimited. When you submit the form to create the new post, you can parse this field into it's separate tags:
tags = params[:tags].split(' ')
You can then associate these tags to the model in the Post#create action.
This may not help you at all (or you may have already seen it), but here's a link to a Railscasts' episode on auto-complete:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/102-auto-complete-association
I know it helped me when trying to do something similar.
HTH
It looks for me like you want to generate tags automatically.
You could create
class Post
before_save :create_tags
private
def create_tags
# get your tags somehow
self.tags << Tag.new(:text=>"...")
end
end
method in models/post.rb and build them there.
If you want to search among existing tags for your auto-suggest, you should have it match from Tag.all, as that won't be nil, just as you would collect a group of objects in a select drop down. Not sure about the code for auto-complete, but the tags should be in the Tag table.
