So we're trying to change the default cluster icon using gmaps for rails.
In the wiki
it says
You can customize the pics used by the clusterer by setting the Gmaps.map.customClusterer js function in your code.
Where would we put that function? It says "In the javascript" - but where? Do we straight-up edit the code generated by gmaps4rails? How does gmaps4rails pick up the information?
To do this customization you just need to create js file. Then you can
"require" that js file in your Application.js or otherwise just directly refer in your view file. That's it you need not to do anything else. I have used it and it worked for me. If any questions do let me know.
To understand how it works you can just refer the
gmaps4rails.base.js (see #customClusterer = -> false)
gmaps4rails.googlemaps.js (method - createClusterer)
it is straight forward to understand

I'm writing a vscode extension where I'm hoping to squeeze more dynamic functionality out of markdown preview. Effectively the problem I'm trying to solve is:
In markdown preview, there's a checkbox
When user clicks the checkbox in markdown preview, send a message/event to the vscode extension runtime
Vscode extension can listen for this message/event and store the action in local storage
Checkbox state is saved - and subsequent renders of the markdown preview can use this action
Ideally, I'd like to do this while keeping the default markdown preview security (https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/markdown#_strict). After all, I don't need the extension to or markdown preview script to talk to a remote server - I just want them to be able to talk to one another.
Problem as code
To write the problem as sudo code, I want my markdown preview script to contain something like:
const button = ... // get button element
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
... /*
* Send a message to the vscode extension. Something like:
* `vscode.postMessage('vscode.my-extension.preview-action' + value)`
* (which I can't get to work, I'll discuss why)
*/
});
where then my extension can listen for messages like 'vscode.my-extension.preview-action'.
What I've Tried Already
I have tried acquireVsCodeApi() but because the markdown extension already does that, I can't do it again in the subsequent loaded script. I've also tried registering a uri handler but as far as I can try out the preview script still needs to fetch to that uri, which is still blocked by the default markdown security settings.
Perhaps markdown preview scripts are not the place to do this kind of thing, but I just wanted to leverage as much as possible that's already there with the vscode markdown extension. I want to supplement markdown but not replace it, the functionality I want to add is just icing on markdown documentation.
I've read https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/markdown-extension#adding-advanced-functionality-with-scripts and it doesn't tell me much about markdown extension scripts capabilities and limitations.
Thanks to #LexLi I looked at some of the source code in the markdown extension and was able to come up with an ugly hack to make this work in preview scripts. Markdown allows normal clicks. And vscode extensions can handle normal clicks. I've paraphrased the code so there could be small syntax errors.
In the extension I did this:
vscode.window.registerUriHandler({
handleUri(uri: vscode.Uri): vscode.ProviderResult<void> {
console.log(`EXTENSION GOT URL: ${uri.toString()}`);
},
});
Then I made sure my extension/preview script put this in the document
<!-- in the preview script I place a button like this -->
<!-- it even works with hidden :) so I can do more app customization -->
<a
hidden
id="my-extension-messager"
href="vscode://publisher-id.my-extension"
>
cant see me but I'm there
</a>
Then my preview script I can even set href before faking a click:
const aMessager = document.querySelector("#my-extension-messager");
console.log('client is setting attribute and clicking...')
aMessager.setAttribute('href', 'vscode://publisher-id.my-extension?action=do-something');
aMessager.click();
console.log('client clicked');
Logs I saw (trimmed/tweaked from my particular extension to match the contrived example):
client is setting attribute and clicking...
client clicked
[Extension Host] EXTENSION GOT URL: vscode://publisher-id.my-extension?action%3Ddo-something
It's a hack but I can do a lot with this. Within the URL I can encode data back to the extension and kind of pass whatever I want (as long as data is relatively small).
I am trying to add a custom block. I followed the steps in following two links:
http://piranhacms.org/docs/extensions/blocks
and
http://piranhacms.org/docs/manager-extensions/resources
In the CMS manager, I added the custom block to a page, but the block content is empty. Looks like the Vue.js didn't get associated to the custom block. I have set the block component attribute to the Vue.js.
I added the Vue.js by calling below method in the startup. Did I miss something to create a custom block?
App.Modules.Get<Piranha.Manager.Module>().Scripts.Add("~/assets/js/myscripts.js");
Move your "mycustomblock.js" file to the folder "wwwroot/js/" instead of the default "assets/js/". That way the file will be visible to Vue.js
Something is not working with the assets folder, probably it cannot be reached by Vue.js
after the Project is compiled. I had the same problem and this solution worked for me.
void Configure in Startup.cs will then look something like this (I simplified the syntax a bit compared to the documentation):
App.Modules.Manager().Scripts.Add("~/js/mycustomblock.js");
Adding a custom block and many other tasks have been difficult for me. Trial and error, and no knowledgebase to fall back on. The documentation is a fantastic start, and "Step by step" guides would be a good idea for the future (but I guess time is very limited).
I have followed this setup, but not work for me http://www.cniska.net/yii-bootstrap/setup.html, all CSS files do not give style to the page,
So searching I found this thread How to install bootstrap extension in yii using some tricks. But not work's too.
Now I have this error
'Property "CWebApplication.bootstrap" is not defined.'
Anyone can help or have any idea?
Thanks in advance and for my English.
Property "CWebApplication.bootstrap" is not defined.
The error means the system is trying to access Yii::app()->bootstrap, which could be a property on the application. Since bootstrap is a component it should be accessible, if the configuration is done properly.
This error is most likely because you forgot the following in the main config file:
'components'=>array(
'bootstrap'=>array(
'class'=>'bootstrap.components.Bootstrap',
),
),
// This should point to the location you placed the files in for example extensions/bootstrap/components/bootstrap.php
The class location above will only work if the alias is set properly before setting the configuration.
Yii::setPathOfAlias('bootstrap', dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/bootstrap');
Instead you could also change "bootstrap.components.Bootstrap" into "application.extensions.bootstrap.components.bootstrap".
I strongly advise you to use Yiistrap, it was made by the person who create yii boostrap and the person who created Yiibooster. Yiistrap has everything from both extensions and more new stuff. here is the page http://www.getyiistrap.com , also has a fully documented API which yii boostrap do not have and it will save a lot of google searches.
I'm a new coder and I'm trying to interpret the Titanium code below:
var settings = Alloy.createController('settings');
What exactly is a "Controller" and when is it used? How would a "settings controller" differ from an object titled "settings"?
Any help would be great, thank you!
You might want to read Alloy Controller
and This
This will give you proper understanding of controller.
The setting you defined in createController function refers to the js file named settings while settings is just an object in any file.. But you should avoid using the same names (not necessary because sometimes it creates problems.) .
I've a bit experience with qt+ and creating not so complex web pages, but I don't know how begin with titanium...when I run the default app this work...I can change the index.html like a web page...I can include javascript code and jquery too...very nice...but when I try run api functions I don't know how include these...all examples talk about iphone and a app.js file...I'm trying make a desktop app and don't appear any .js...I can create these but don't work
...in the docs I read things like these:
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow(); var view = Ti.UI.createView({backgroundColor:"red"}); win.add(view); win.open();
I don't know where I've put this code...I try put it inside a javascript inside the html (bad practice!) but it don't work...I put it inside a function onload but don't work neither.....there are any "convention" with the names for the files for this work?...I think this is like create a very dynamic web page but I don't know how work with the api....I see the example "kitchen something" but it wasn't so clear to mee...I see a examples like this:
http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/appcelerator/appcelerator-using-json-to-build-a-twitter-client/
but seems this work different when is an ipod to when it is a desktp app...I create an app.js (like the tuto) and put my code inside it but it never run...I look the source code and only need create a .js and inside my "home.html" link it..but it don't work...I create a index.js too but it don't work neither
please help..I'm very noob...thanks
Aaron:
This reply kindly brought something that could have been a solution but just made me lose more than 15 minutes of my time, as these first online courses have info about how to create a new project with a default html file, not about the original poster's issue.
The original poster's issue is that he has a new project with an index.html file, but no app.js file.
And he then doesn't understand where he could put the sampe code :
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var view = Ti.UI.createView({backgroundColor:"red"});
win.add(view);
win.open();
... as whatever he puts in app.js is not executed.
The documentation in Titanium Dev Center fails to provide accurate information as it only mentions Titanium Mobile app.js and does not speak of index.html in the application structure.
After some starting experience on Titanium Mobile, I had to work on Titanium Desktop andactually just had the same problem as angel_ang, which brought me here.
So, here is the real answer :
Titanium Desktop applications do not need or start with an app.js file, but with index.html.
Deleting or removing this file never works as it will still be launched from the last build if need be.
Adding anything to app.js will never run as only index.html is run as a starting place.
Something that should have been a solution was found that to the following link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgGVNB2nkKc&NR=1
This video is two online courses further from the link supplied by Aaron. At 0.19 seconds exactly, we see the starting code he has added to index.html.
You need to put a ... in your HEAD section, and add a function() there.
You may put the sample code inside this function.
Then you may even set the function to run when you click a button ().
Unfortunately, this doesn't work with me either.
I tried with the example code above but also with the other example (notification) mentioned in the online course.
It just seems that something is deprecated here and many documentations are outdated.
Anyone that could answer to this situation would be very helpful to us and many newcomers.
We just have an index.html that we can't use, instead of a running app.js file.
