If clarification is needed, please let me know. If it can't be done, please let me know this as well. I am desperately trying to figure this out still
I was following Google's Dev guide to the Share button at the following site:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/share/
and I can not seem to figure out how, if it's even possible, to use a custom icon AND use the current URL instead of having to specify a URL.
I found this section of their site that specifies an anchor tag address:
"https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL}"
This would allow me to use a custom icon (and the only way I can use a custom icon as far as I can tell) and a few other custom parameters as well. But it looks like this method requires a specified URL and, as far as I can tell, provides no method to dynamically create the link depending on the current page.
If I use the code generator at the top, it will use the current page, but it calls on a Google hosted Java Script and in addition, it is a hover link that pops up when I hover over the icon. And of course, I also can't use a custom icon with the generator either.
I've been Googling every search term I could think of and searching this site as well and I haven't been able to find anyone else asking this question as of yet. I figured after about 20-30 minutes of searching that I wasn't going to find my answer via searching, so i apologize if this has been answered.
Just some background on my experience to give an idea of where I sit: I have a decent grasp of the workings of HTML and CSS. Javascript, however, I understand very very basic theory and that's about it. I definitely intend to learn, however, as it will prove a very valuable skill.
Thank you very much!!
I think I know what needs to be done, but...I don't know how to do it (or if it would even work) :|
my share link needs to link to a script that looks at the current page's URL, and then takes that information, and creates a dynamic link from it that will take the user to the following link: https://plus.google.com/share?url={URL from query will be here}.
I think that might work...it sounds like it would. Any thoughts? If so, any simple scripts around that would do just this?
Double thanks!!
--I finally found something that works, but it uses Javascript and I don't fully understand it, just enough to tweak it. It took me forever to find this, but it works with Google Plus, Facebook, or Twitter! (and I'm sure it will work with any other website that supplies a Share Link that requires a specified URL)
Here it is, I'm still looking for a better solution, but this does exactly what I was looking for:
<a href="javascript:(
function(){
var w=480;var h=380;
var x=Number((window.screen.width-w)/2);
var y=Number((window.screen.height-h)/2);
window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'
&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title),'','width='+w+',height='+h+',left='+x+',top='+y +',
scrollbars=no');
})();" style="background: url(/wp-content/themes/HTML5/images/googleplus.png) no-repeat scroll left center transparent;">
Share to Google+</a>
EDIT! After spending some months learning Javascript, I've built a solution that is much better than that which is provided below. I'll leave my original answer, however, I want to place this better solution at the top.
This solution should work on ANY social media platform that gives you a custom share URL (that is to say, a url that allows you to manually type in an address to share).
Here is how it all works (and if anyone has any suggestions or tweaks that have more experience with JS, please let me know).
I assign variables to the document.URL and document.titleproperties.
I write a named function (I called mine, socialShare) that is set to run via an anonymous function on the window.onloadevent.
The socialShare function assigns variables to the location of my social button's within the HTML. In my case, I used IDs to locate the elements. The purpose of these variables is purely for aesthetics (I use these variables to re-write the the HTML code dynamically, so that when you hover over the share button, it displays the correct URL for sharing the current page you are on)
var fbShare = document.getElementById("fbShare");
var gplusShare = document.getElementById("gplusShare");
twitterShare = document.getElementById("twitterShare");
I then write three separate anonymous functions, one for each social media platform. Each function has two statements. The functions work as follows: the first part is the variable assigned to the location of the HTML element with the ID fbShare. The second part tells it to run the function when that element is clicked; .onclick. The third part is the anonymous function that will run when that element is clicked. The first statement of this function will open a new window; window.open; and in that new window, it will open the URL that is specified by feeding the window.open method parameters. The parameters are as follows (URL,name,specs) where URL is the URL you want to share, name is optional and left blank as seen by the empty set of quotes, and finally specs is where you specify attributes of the window (IE: width and height). The first parameter, the URL: ("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL, currentURL is the global variable that was assigned earlier and will place whatever the current documents URL is, in place of currentURL. The second parameter, the name: "", This is left blank, as it is optional. The third parameter, the specs: "height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0"); These are a comma-seperated list of items. In my case, I've specified a height, width, and the location of the window, as well as disabled the menubar. Finally, the second statement, return false; tells the browser NOT to follow the link inside the HTML code. If this was not specified, then the browswer would follow the URL in the HTML, AND open a new window. For more information on the window.open method, please see the link at the bottom of this new answer.
fbShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL,"","height=368,width=600,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
gplusShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL,"","height=550,width=525,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
twitterShare.onclick = function() {
window.open("https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle,"","height=260,width=500,left=100,top=100,menubar=0");
return false;
}
And finally, I modify the HTML href elements of each social media button so that when the user hovers over the share buttons, they see the correct Share URL displayed in their browsers status bar. The first part of this statement grabs the element id, fbShare and the second part tells it to set an attribute, .setAttribute. Then we pass in the attribute name that we want to change, ("href", in this case, and then we pass in what we would like the new attribute value to be, "http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL); currentURL is the same here, as earlier. It is the variable that holds the value for whatever the current page's URL is.
fbShare.setAttribute("href","http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u="+currentURL);
gplusShare.setAttribute("href","https://plus.google.com/share?url="+currentURL);
twitterShare.setAttribute("href","https://twitter.com/share?url="+currentURL+"&text="+currentTitle);
That's about all there is to it! I hope I wrote this well and I hope it is relatively easy to follow. If any pros out there have any suggestions, please feel free to toss in and give your advice! :)

OLD ANSWER: I figured I'd add this as an answer. It does the trick and solves the exact problem that I had. The URL after 'window.open' would be the social media's Share Link (in the case of the example, it's google plus' Share Link. There are a few variables that can be either modified or removed. Anyone that's good with scripting could probably create a PHP version (which I would LOVE) or modify it to better suite their needs. At any rate, I hope this will help someone out!

Native Window Open function its not a good idea, browsers like Mozilla and Chrome block pop up. I think its better use a plugin to open a new windows with the share url, like jquery popup plugin. Work very fine for me and browser cant block it.
Copy an paste into a new js file like original name: 'jquery.popup.js'
jQuery.fn.popup = function(options) {
var defaults = {
width: screen.width/2,
height: screen.height/2,
titlebar: false,
status: false,
resizable: true,
toolbar: false,
scrollbars: true,
menubar: false
};
var options = jQuery.extend(defaults, options);
Boolean.prototype.setProperty = function() {
if (this == true) { return "yes"; } else { return "no"; }
};
jQuery(this).click( function() {
var target = this.target;
var href = this.href;
var posY = (parseInt(screen.height/2)) - (parseInt(options.height/2));
var posX = (parseInt(screen.width/2)) - (parseInt(options.width/2));
var win = window.open(href, target, 'titlebar=' + options.titlebar.setProperty() + ', screenX='+ posX +', screenY='+ posY +', left='+ posX +', top='+ posY +', status=' + options.status.setProperty() + ', resizable=' + options.resizable.setProperty() + ', toolbar=' + options.toolbar.setProperty() + ', scrollbars=' + options.scrollbars.setProperty() + ', menubar=' + options.menubar.setProperty() + ', width='+ options.width +', height='+ options.height);
win.focus();
return false;
});
return this;
};
USAGE:
<script src="jquery.last.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.popup.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(function(){
//simple load
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480 });
});
</script>
<a class='popupLink' href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<?php echo URL;?>">Share Facebook</a>
ALSO YOU CAN PASS OPTIONS LIKE THE PLUGIN EXAMPLE OPTIONS
<script>
jQuery(".popupLink").popup({ width: 640, height: 480, resizable: false, menubar: true });
</script>
The author website dont exist any more. This are the information that comes with the plugin comments

You can also use PHP to resize the window but here is the PHP version... Have fun :)

I would like to store the text from an object locator and use it for assertion. For instance, I have a trade number - 1234. This trade number only appears after a transaction, so it is not static on other screens. This number is located on several other screens and I need to validate that it appears. I am able to locate the element through inspect and Playwright accepts it, but having issues:
Grabbing the text (1234)
Then setting up an assertion statement to compare it
Below are my humble and naïve attempts:
async getConfirmNumber() {
//Store the contents in the page locator which has the trade number
const tradeNumber = page.locator('div:nth-of-type(2) > .col-md-9.display-value.ng-binding').textContent;
//Navigate to a different screen which now will display the trade number
await this.page.click('a[caption="History"]')
await this.page.click('a[href="#/trade-summary"]')
//Line of code that I am not sure how to correctly write. ".bidconfirmation" is the locator on the new screen which displays the trade number.
//If the contents or value of ".bidconfirmation" is NOT 1234 then an error needs to display.
await expect(tradeNumber).toHaveCSS('.bidconfirmation', tradeNumber);
}
Just to let you know I would change the tag on this post to playwright-JavaScript to better reach the intended audience.
However, if I understand your question correctly you are trying to get the text content of an element but the textContent() method is not working, I would try to use the innerText() method and see if that works.
Apologies if this is a little off as I work with the java version of Playwright but you could do:
const tradeNumber = page.locator('div:nth-of-type(2) > .col-md-9.display-value.ng-binding').innerText(); //BTW I would change this locator to something unique or a little more stable -- this should give you the tradeNumber
//then I'm not 100% sure what your trying to do here but if I understand correctly this might help
await expect(page.locator('.bidconfirmation').toHaveValue(tradeNumber));
I hope this helped a little, Im sorry I couldn't really get an understanding fully of the question you were asking but feel free to take a look at playwright.dev to find documentation surrounding Playwright.
In After Effects scripts, if you want your script to be able to be docked in the program's workspace, the only way to do it as far as I know is to use a resource string like this:
var res = "Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], alignChildren:['fill', 'fill'],\
group1: Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', ''], alignChildren:['fill', ''],\
button1: Button{text: 'Button'},\
},\
}";
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);
The above code creates a script UI with one button ("button1") inside a group ("group1").
I would like to know other ways to create the same resource string. Is it possible to make it using a JSON object and then stringifying it??
I know it can be done somehow, because I have inspected the Duik Bassel script that is dockable and, for example, adds elements like this:
var button1 = myPal.add( 'button' );
but I cannot understand how to do it myself.
TL;DR: I want to make a dockable scriptUI without writing a giant string all at once, but bit by bit, like a floating script.
UI container elements have an add() method which allows you to add other UI elements to them, and you can treat them as normal objects.
var grp = myPanel.add("group");
grp.orientation = "column";
grp.alignment = ['fill', 'fill'];
grp.alignChildren = ['fill', 'fill'];
var group1 = grp.add("group");
…
var button1 = group1.add("button");
button1.text = 'Button'
More details and examples here: https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/user-interface-tools/types-of-controls.html#containers
Also worth checking out https://scriptui.joonas.me/ which is a visual scriptUI interface builder. You have to do some work on the code it produces to get panels for AE, but it's not hard.
extendscript still uses a 20th century version of javaScript, which doesn't have JSON built-in, but I have successfully used a JSON polyfill with it.
I used json2.js to get structured data in and out of Illustrator, and it worked beautifully, but I can see there's now a json3.js which might be better for whatever reason. This stackoverflow question addresses the differences.
To load another .js file (such as a polyfill) into your script, you need to do something like
var scriptsFolder = (new File($.fileName)).parent; // hacky but effective
$.evalFile(scriptsFolder + "/lib/json2.js"); // load JSON polyfill
These file locations may differ in other Adobe apps. Not sure what it would be in AfterEffects. I seem to remember that InDesign has a different location for scripts. You can also hardcode the path, of course.
Good luck!
seems nobody had this question before...? (or i just don't know the right words for it :D )
i want to have a very basic heading on every page of my app, which allows the user to go "up". simple as that.
example: user is on page.com/users/browse/, clicks on the heading, gets navigated to page.com/users/, clicks again, gets navigated to page.com. nothing more. it just has to be variable, so i can put it in a component and have it just work everywhere
how can i do that? i tried vue.$route, but there is only a string of the complete url. is there any convenient way to do it? or do i HAVE to split the url by / and build the route myself?
thanks :)
Try using this: this.$router.replace("./");
I don't know how it is working though. The single dot(./) will go up one path and double dots(../) will go up 2 paths!
This functionality has a name "Breadcrumbs".
Check this: 1, 2, 3 or look for this in your framework.
Try adding a method for going up one level by getting the route's path and then splitting it. Here's what worked for me:
upOneLevel(){
var upperPath = this.$route.path.split("/")
if(upperPath.length > 0) {
upperPath.splice(upperPath.length-1)
this.$router.push(upperPath.join("/"))
}
}
Then you can add a button that calls this method to go up by one level but no further than the root. This method will work regardless of whether or not your routes were nested properly.
this.$router.replace("./") will help if the user clicks on the heading only once, if he try to clicks again nothing is happen because vue-router avoid redundant navigation to the same location.
You can catch this error then navigate to the root, (or to a named route) if you have only two levels in your routes.
NOTE :
This function works only for two levels (see the example of this Question)
goUp() {
this.$router.replace("./").then(err =>{
if(err)
this.$router.replace("/");
// or : this.$router.replace({name:"home"}); for named routes
})
}
You can get the current path using this.$route.path and than remove the last party by splitting/splicing it:
goUp(){
var upperPath = this.$route.path.split("/")
if (upperPath.length > 2) {
upperPath.splice(upperPath.length - 1)
this.$router.push(upperPath.join("/"))
} else {
this.$router.push('/');
}
}
The already mentioned this.$router.replace("./"); will add a trailing slash.
If this is not your intention, use this.$router.replace(".");
Moreover, if you want to make a new history event, use this.$router.push(".");
Does anyone have any experience with using a url to target a specific slide in a Soliloquy slider? I am using multiple sliders that I need to link to specific slides of from external pages/sites. The Soliloquy Docs provide this info (soliloquywp.com/docs/dynamically-set-the-starting-slide/) as closest to the solution but, for a php noob like me, the explanation is a bit terse and lacking, my fault, not theirs.
The example given in the docs seems to be a custom filter for a specific slide in a specific slider. I need to target slides in multiple sliders with urls. I guess I need help understanding the filter's function. I have commented out what I think each part does. Maybe someone could show me where I'm wrong?
//OP: I don't understand, what ids/slides are represented by the 10 and 2 values in these parameters. Where do I find these?
add_filter( 'soliloquy_pre_data', 'tgm_soliloquy_dynamic_starting_slide', 10, 2 );
function tgm_soliloquy_dynamic_starting_slide( $data, $slider_id ) {
// If the proper $_GET parameter is not set or is not the proper slider ID, do nothing.
//OP: Is the 'sol_slide' parameter for ALL soliloquy sliders in my site or is it the name in the Dashboard given when constructing the slider?
if ( empty( $_GET['sol_slide'] ) ) {
return $data;
}
// Change this if you want to target a specific slider ID, or remove altogether if you want this for all sliders.
//OP: I believe to target ALL sliders in my site I should comment this out. Right?
if ( 51064 !== $slider_id ) {
return $data;
}
// Set the slide number as a config property. Also preventing randomizing slides.
$data['config']['start'] = absint( $_GET['sol_slide'] );
$data['config']['random'] = 0;
// Optionally prevent autostarting the slider. Uncomment if you want that.
//$data['config']['auto'] = 0;
return $data;
}
Basically, I guess I am asking for a little help with implementing this filter to target any slide in any slider with a url. Slim odds, but I'm dead in the water! Big thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.
Complete, correctly functioning answer is here provided the plugin author, of course, duh: http://soliloquywp.com/support/topic/a-way-to-link-directly-to-a-specific-slide/
The value "sol_slide" is generic to any slider created with the plugin. Just put the custom filter provided in the example into your, hopefully, child-theme's functions.php, and construct your urls targeting specific slides like so: http://mywebsite.com/specific-product-page-with-slider/?sol_slide=3. Slide numbering is based on zero so 1 = 2 etc. Works like a charm.
I'm developing a mobile app (iOS 5.0 and above compatible) for a website where users can view certain data directly from their landing page. The user can refine the results by selecting specific options (i.e. location and/or date). They don't offer any web service calls, and won't allow us to access their database. So my only resort of collecting the data is from 'scraping' the site directly.
My issue is that I don't know how make the changes that the users can make on the site from a http request from the phone. For example the site below:
can be pulled from the site and saved as a string with the following command
NSString *html = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:urlrequest encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&err];
I'm able to separate the relevant data:
// I decided to add the script function name in case anyone wanted to look for themselves
<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function loadData(){
var winMsgTitle = "Date: 04/11/2012";
// this is the actual data I'm concerned with:
gLatLong = new GLatLng(31.59019444444444, -110.50655555555555);
tmpMapIcon = new MapIcon("0_0", 21, 15);
marker = createMarker(gLatLong, 0.0, createInfoWinMsg(winMsgTitle, ".00", ".84", "5711", "2012", "", "07:00"), tmpMapIcon);
map.addOverlay(marker);
point = null;marker = null;
gLatLong = new GLatLng(32.2938260182, -110.7896411419);
tmpMapIcon = new MapIcon("0_0", 21, 15);
marker = createMarker(gLatLong, 0.0, createInfoWinMsg(winMsgTitle, ".00", "1.00", "1254", "2012", "", "07:00"), tmpMapIcon);
map.addOverlay(marker);
point = null;marker = null;
gLatLong = new GLatLng(33.5966853633, -112.1744066477);
tmpMapIcon = new MapIcon("0_0", 21, 15);
marker = createMarker(gLatLong, 0.0, createInfoWinMsg(winMsgTitle, ".00", ".70", "256", "2012", "", "07:00"), tmpMapIcon);
map.addOverlay(marker);
point = null;marker = null;
Note: There are obviously more points, this is just snip it
In order to get another location, or date, I have to manually select via the site and select the options on the right hand pane. My question is, how do I make those changes programmatically via objective-c?
I suppose you use UIWebView to load that page.
One possible solution is to write JavaScript functions to simulate normal user operations on the right hand pane (for example, use jQuery's trigger function to select the drop down list, select 'Date Range', etc.).
These javascript functions could be coded as strings in your app code.
Then, call stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString: on the webview to run these javascript functions:
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:javascript]
Here the javascript parameter is a string you construct that calls your javascript functions. For example:
NSString *javascript = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"selectRegion(%#)", targetRegion];
When doing this, I'd suggest you write these javascripts and test them using a browser's debug tool(Safari's Web Inspector, Firefox's FireBug plugin...) to make sure they work as expect first.
If i understand you correctly, you want to pull the data without displaying the website to your user?
If yes, the only solution i can currently think of would be an off-screen UIWebView, in wich you do some JavaScript-magic to simulate user-input, and then get the data out.
This is however a very hackish approach and i would not suggest you use this in a shipping application.
In fact, i would suggest not doing any webscraping at all, because if they change their sites structure, your app fails to work.
If you are really developing an app "for them" then go tell them that you need a webservice in order to write a good application.
If you are not working "for them" but are just trying to write an app that uses their service to get data, then what you are doing is not only complicated, but does most probably also violate their EULA and you should therefore not be doing that at all. Consider contacting them and see if you can get them to work with you in that case.
