I have a website in ASP.NET which will be used globally. There is a requirement to provide a language translation option at the home page where the user will be able to select a language and the page(s) will be rendered in that. I have heard of Google translation service but have no idea how to use them. Can anyone provide some links/suggestion that can guide me in this?
Regards.
Follow the instructions here and you'll be good to go, but essentially, all you need to do is include this code:
<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
Into every page that you want to allow the user to be able to translate.

Needless to say, my experience with Meteor is lacking. I come from a Rails background, where you can do a lot more logic (and magic) in your views than Meteor.
The situation: I've got some routes that look like /things/:_id, and I've named that route 'thing' because it shows only one thing of a user's many owned things:
FlowRouter.route('/things/:_id', {
name: 'thing',
action() {
BlazeLayout.render('appPage', {app: 'thing', sidebar: "thingsListOnThing", header: 'thingTitle'});
}
});
As you can see, I'm also loading a template I've built to list all of the user's owned things on the sidebar for easy navigation. That template, thingsListOnThing is the target of this question.
Get the gist? I'm able to mark the route that dislays a template with a complete list of a user's things as active using zimme:active-route like so:
// A list of all a user's things
<div class="{{isActiveRoute name='things' class='is-active'}}">
List of Things
</div>
This package is great, but it won't help me with routes that look like /things/:_id because, then every link to each individual thing would be is-active on any thing page, not just the one where the current path's :_id matches the _id of the active thing.
I'm really kind of stuck here. My first guess would be to use template helpers, but I'm confused as to where to get started with that.
If need be, please as me to upload any piece of my code you require. I figured it's such a generic question that you guys probably don't need to see all of my code to understand what I'm trying to accomplish.
Using: zimme:active-route
Template Helpers
Template.listOfThings.helpers({
activeListClass(page) {
const active = ActiveRoute.name('thing') && FlowRouter.getParam('_id') === this._id;
return active && 'active';
},
});
Template HTML:
<a class="{{isActivePath 'thing'}}" href="/things/{{_id}}">
<div class="thingListItem {{activeListClass page}}">
{{title}}
</div>
</a>
I had read somewhere and have now forgotten that upgrading to the new asynchronous code will not enable one to track actual clicks for downloading items when user stays on the same page and that for tracking that you need to use the old version of GA code.
My question is, is that still the case and does anyone have any other reasons for not upgrading to use the newer asynchronous tracking?
thanks
Hmm...are you sure the "old" version of GA automatically tracked downloads? AFAIK GA never automatically tracked download links, that you always had to attach GA code (like a _trackEvent call) to your links yourself. But in any case, it's pretty easy to do it yourself, so it's really not a big deal. Plus, you get lots of benefits upgrading, and one day it may not even be an option to stick with the old version...
If you have jQuery you can for example do this:
// file types you want to consider a download
var downloadFileTypes = ['pdf','doc','docx','mp4'];
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a').filter(function() {
var ext = $(this).attr('href').split('.').pop().toLowerCase();
return ( $.inArray(ext, downloadFileTypes )>-1 );
})
.click(function() {
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', $(this).attr('href')]);
});
});
If you do not have a framework like jQuery, you can still do this easy enough with .getElementsByTagName() and using regular loops and conditions instead of the jQuery conveniences like .filter and .inArray
edit: Some things to note about that example:
the jQuery code was an example to hook the GA code to standard links pointing to the file types you specify in downloadFiletypes. It will only apply to links that exist at the time the code is executed. If you have links that may be dynamically generated on the page later, consider looking into .on() instead of .click()
you will need to make tweaks to matching links you want to consider downloads if they do not point to regular files with extensions. For instance, some websites have a controller script that expects a parameter with an ID and it dynamically serves up a pdf or whatever..if your files are like this, you will have to alter the logic to look for that instead.
Since scripts are not allowed on WordPress(.com) blogs, I was wondering whether there is a way to get the following Google Translate code to work on a WordPress (.com) blog via the Text widget? Thanks in advance.
<div id="google_translate_element"></div><script>
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
You can't run most JS on wordpress.com, but there seems to be a workaround to use Google Translate: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/translation-widget?replies=20
You're making it too complicated -- you can just use html. Color coded explanation with a little story here:

Well I want to use Google api translator in my website and when I am putting this api code in my html page it's working fine.
----------------------------------google translator code :-----------------------------
<div id="google_translate_element" ></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {
new google.translate.TranslateElement({
pageLanguage: 'en'
}, 'google_translate_element');
}
</script><script src="http://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit"></script>
I want to put the code in when I am putting this code in iframe then it shows everything.
But while changing the language it changes the language of elements in the iframe it doesn't affect outside the iframe.
I guess this is why the iframe tag is used to include an external document into an existing one.
Google Translator will translate the content of the iframe only, since it has no clue about the container document.

I have a site which is using DNN (DotNetNuke) as a content management system. I am using another site for my event registrations. I have sent them my template; which displays the basics including a hover menu with many different items in it.
Issue is - as I update the menu on my site using DNN, I need it to be reflected on the site using my template - without me having to send them a new file. Anyone have suggetsions on how to approach this?
I don't want to send the events provider all of the DNN DLLs as well as my database login information in order to render the menu.
I created a page on my site that is something like 'menu.aspx' - this produces the menu in HTML format, however it has tags like in it that I'd like to remove before serving it to them.
What is the best approach for this? Do I need to write a custom server control using XMLHttp? Can I accomplish this in Javascript?
Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you!
If both sites are hosted on the same domain (eg site1.domain.com and site2.domain.com) you can use JavaScript and XmlHttpRequest to insert code from one site to another. Otherwise, the Same Origin Policy prevents you from using AJAX.
If they're not on the same domain but you have access to the page on their website, you can simply include there a JS script from your site :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yoursite.com/code.js"></script>
In the JS, simply document.write() what you want on the page. This way, you can easily change the content of the page on their site without having to send them a new file.
Finally, you can also use an iframe on their site, pointing to a page on yours.
EDIT: As Vincent E. pointed out, this will only work if they're on the same domain - my bad.
If you are unwilling or unable to use frames, then I would set up an ashx on your DNN server which renders the menu (if you've got it in a user control all the better, as you can just instatiate it and Render it directly to the output stream) and then just make an Ajax call to that from your events page and insert it directly into the DOM.
Here's a quick and hacky jquery-based example of the events page end of things:
<script type="text/javascript">
function RenderMenu(data)
{
$('#Menu').html(data);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type : 'GET',
url : 'http://localhost/AjaxHandlers/Menu.ashx',
data : '',
success : RenderMenu,
});
});
</script>
You'll want an empty div with the ID 'Menu' on the page where you want your menu to sit, but apart from that you're good to go.
If for whatever reason you can't get the menu HTML in an isolated way, then you'll need to do some text processing in RenderMenu, but it's still do-able.
I am not a web expert, so don't shoot me.
Can't you just put their registration form into an iFrame in DNN ?
