Trying to get the Title for "Blood Oath" from 1990 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100414/ .In this example am using Jupyter, but it works the same in my .py program:
movie = ia.get_movie('0100414')
movie
<Movie id:0100414[http] title:_Prisoners of the Sun (1990)_>
Am I doing something wrong? This seems to be the 'USA aka' title. I do know how to get the AKA titles back via the API, but just puzzled as to why it's returning this one. On the IMDB web page "Blood Oath" is listed - under the AKA section - as the "(original title)". Thank you.
What you do is correct.
IMDbPY takes the movie title from the value of a meta tag with property set to "og:title". So, what's considered the title of a movie depends on the decisions made by IMDb.
You can also use "original title" key, that is taken from what it's actually shown to the reader of the web page. This, however, is even more subject to change since it's usually shown in the language guessed by the IMDb web servers using the language set by a registered user, the settings of your browser or by geolocation of the IP.
So, for example, for that title I get "Blood Oath" via browser since my browser is set to English and "Giuramento di sangue (1990)" if I access movie['original title'] (geolocation of my IP, I guess)
To conclude, if you really need another title, you may get the whole list this way:
ia.update(movie, 'release info')
print(movie.get('akas from release info'))
You will get a list that you can parse looking for a string ending in '(original title)'

I want to customize the standard drill-down functionality and add a text parameter to the drill-down URL. I will then parse and use the parameter in the SysStartUpCmdDrillDown or EventDrillDownPoller class like the solution provided by Jan B. Kjeldsen in this question.
The standard drill-down link is dynamics://Target/?DrillDown_RecID/ :
dynamics://0/?DrillDown_5637230378/
In previous versions of AX it was possible to modify the RecId to custom text and parse the text once the client is started:
dynamics://0/?DrillDown_0MenuItemName=PurchTable&FieldName=PurchId&FieldValue=P000044
Unfortunately, in AX 2012 the RecId is checked before the client is started and if it is not a valid int64, the drill-down event is not sent to the client. Since it is not possible to change the RecId to anything other than an integer, #Alex Kwitny suggested in the comments at that same question that you can add the custom text to the drill-down target like this:
dynamics://0MenuItemName=PurchTable/?DrillDown_5637230378/
The problem I experience with this is that the link now gets confused about which instance to start.
If the target is equal to the value in the System Admin -> system parameters -> Alerts ->Drill-down target, a client with the correct server instance is started. When I append the text with my custom text, it always starts the default instance(Which could be different from the instance I intended to start). While this is not ideal, I could work around this issue.
The bigger problem is that it now always starts a new session of the default instance, even if a client session is already started. As far as I can see I cannot write X++ code to solve this issue since the server instance is determined before any code in the client is executed.
My question is this - How can I add custom text to the drill-down link while preserving the way the client instance is started: If a client for the instance is already open, it should process the link in the open client, and not start up a new client of the default instance.
You should probably come up with another solution as mentioned in this post, but there could still be a way.
The URL has two objects that can be modified:
dynamics://[Drill-down target(str)]/?Drilldown_[Int64]
According to you, if you modify the [Drill-down target], then it launches AX using the default client config, and that is behavior that you don't want. If you have a matching [Drill-down target], it'll launch in the open client window, which is behavior I can't confirm, but I'll take it at face value and assume you're correct.
So that means the only thing you can modify in the URL is [int64]. This is actually a string that is converted to an int64 via str2int64(...), which in turn corresponds to a RecId. This is where it gets interesting.
This work all happens in \Classes\SysStartUpCmdDrillDown\infoRun.
Well, lucky for you the ranges for the objects are:
RecId - 0 to 9223372036854775807
Int64 - -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807
You can call minRecId() and maxRecId() to confirm this.
So this means you have -9223372036854775808 to -1 numbers to work with by calling URLs in this range:
dynamics://0/?DrillDown_-1
to
dynamics://0/?DrillDown_-9223372036854775808
Then you would modify \Classes\SysStartUpCmdDrillDown\infoRun to look for negative numbers, and fork to your custom code.
HOW you decide to user these negative #'s is up to you. You can have the first n-digits be a table id or a look-up value for a custom table. You can't technically use a RecId as part of that negative number because in theory the RecId could get up that high (minus 1).
I'm using Phabricator's feed.http-hooks feature to post messages in a dev chat room whenever relevant events happen in the news feed. This works great for showing that "Alice created diff D12345" or "Bob updated diff D54321."
When someone comments on a diff, I want to extract the comment text from the story. Whenever there's a comment, Phabricator sends HTTP POSTs to my feed.http-hooks server containing parameters like the following:
storyID=42
storyType=PhabricatorApplicationTransactionFeedStory
storyData[objectPHID]=PHID-DREV-blahblah1
storyData[transactionPHIDs][0]=PHID-DREV-blahblah2
storyAuthorPHID=PHID-USER-blahblah3
storyText=tom added a comment to D12345: Some random diff.
epoch=1412243745
My question is, how can I get the actual text of the comment? I've tried using Conduit's phid.query method to look up some of these PHIDs, but that hasn't gotten me anywhere. I know this is possible because the comment shows up in the actual "Recent Activity" feed on the Phabricator site. Halp.
It seems that youtube are now using ID's for their channels instead of names (part of the V3 api)
However it seems that the embedded iframe playlist player cannot handle these channel ID's
example channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow
then ID is UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow
Now try to load this
http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=UCpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow
Can anyone shine a light on this issue ? Or is there some hidden username ?
I also placed this question at the gdata-issues website http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=6463
The issue here is that a channel is not a playlist; channels can have multiple playlists, yet the listType parameter is designed to look for an actual playlist info object. The documented way around this is to use the data API and call the channel endpoint, looking at the contentDetails part:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&id=UCuo5NTU3pmtPejmlzjCgwdw&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
The result will give you all of the feeds associated with that channel that you can choose from:
"contentDetails": {
"relatedPlaylists": {
"uploads": "UUuo5NTU3pmtPejmlzjCgwdw"
}
}
If available (sometimes with oAuth), there could also be "watch later" lists, "likes" lists, etc.
This may seem like a lot of overhead. In the short term, though, it can be noted that the different feeds are programmatically named; so, for example, if my user channel begins with UC and then a long string, that UC stands for 'user channel' -- and the uploads feed would begin with 'UU' (user uploads) and then have the rest of the same long string. (you'd also have 'LL' for the likes list, 'WL' for the watch later list, 'HL' for the history list, 'FL' for the favorites list, etc. This is NOT documented, and so there's no guarantee that such a naming convention will perpetuate. But at least for now, you could change your ID string from beginning with UC to beginning with UU, like this:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/?listType=user_uploads&list=UUpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow
And it embeds nicely.
Just to inform on current state of things -- the change suggested by jlmcdonald doesn't work anymore, but you can still get a proper embed link via videoseries (with the same UC to UU change). I.o.w. link like
http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=UUpAOGs57EWRvOPXQhnYHpow
works as of at the moment of writing this.
I started building a app that will automatically download my delicious bookmarks, and save to a database, so they I can view them on my own website in my favoured format.
I am forced to use oAuth, as I have a yahoo id to login to delicious. The problem is I am stuck at the point where oAuth requires a user to manually go and authenticate.
Is there a code/ guidelines available anywhere I can follow? All I want is a way to automatically save my bookmarks to my database.
Any help is appreciated. I can work on java, .net and php. Thanks.
Delicious Provides an API for this already:
https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all?
Returns all posts. Please use sparingly. Call the update function to see if you need to fetch this at all.
Arguments
&tag={TAG}
(optional) Filter by this tag.
&start={#}
(optional) Start returning posts this many results into the set.
&results={#}
(optional) Return this many results.
&fromdt={CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ}
(optional) Filter for posts on this date or later
&todt={CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ}
(optional) Filter for posts on this date or earlier
&meta=yes
(optional) Include change detection signatures on each item in a 'meta' attribute. Clients wishing to maintain a synchronized local store of bookmarks should retain the value of this attribute - its value will change when any significant field of the bookmark changes.
Example
$ curl https://user:passwd#api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all
<posts tag="" user="user">
<post href="http://www.weather.com/" description="weather.com"
hash="6cfedbe75f413c56b6ce79e6fa102aba" tag="weather reference"

There are also public and private RSS feeds for bookmarks, so if you can read and parse XML you don't necessarily need to use the API.
Note however that if you registered with Delicious after December, and therefore use your Yahoo account, the above will not work and you'll need to use OAuth.
There are a number of full examples on the Delicious support site, see for example: http://support.delicious.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=3698
I'm refurbishing a simple web-app that our field techs use. One of my goals is to make it Blackberry-friendly, as all of the techs are now using those. This app accepts basic information about a job and stores it. Among that info are times, telephone numbers, and a street address.
I have the time fields and telephone fields figured out with the following CSS:
input.time { -wap-input-format: "NN\\:NN"; }
input.phone { -wap-input-format: "\\(nnn\\)\\ nnn\\-nnnn" }
What I'm trying to do is determine how I can have the phone default to numeric input on an address field, then go alpha once a space has been inserted. I'm assuming that this can't be done with the -wap-input-format property above.
Is there another way--even if it's only for the Blackberry Browser--to do this without resorting to JavaScript? (Not that there's anything wrong with that :-) )
Thanks.
Have you considered a "Street Number" field followed by a separate "Street Name" field? There is no way to have a variable number of digits at the start of this sort WAP input field without using JavaScript.
I've found that javascript alone is the only way to do a decent job of subtle user input validation. Markup creates more challenges than it solves. With js you can let whatever keystrokes mean whatever you want, customized to any context.
