I need a view to refresh automatically every 20 seconds, and have added the following code to the view header via the views GUI - with no success. The code (or portions of it) are simply displayed on the view and no updating is performed. I've tried omitting both and just the ending ?php statement. If someone can tell me the proper code to use, or a better approach at updating the view automatically, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content = \"20\" />;
There are a few modules that can take care of this for you via AJAX without refreshing the page.
This should take care of everything for you: http://drupal.org/project/ajax_views_refresh
Be sure to get the main AJAX module as the base.
A more complex one, if you want to code a bit: http://drupal.org/project/live_update
If you want to just refresh nodes and the view is on them you can do the old school refresh with this... http://drupal.org/project/refresh
Your code isn't coming through, but if it's php code make sure that the input format for the view header is set to "PHP Code"
Read the fine print under the text area. Sometimes PHP Code format doesn't require <?php tags. Some modules implement this differently.
Use drupal_set_html_head
For example:
drupal_set_html_head('<meta http-equiv="refresh" content = "20" />');

In a page I am working on I replace the HTML code in a DIV with different HTML, then using Javascript I insert additional HTML into a DIV the new code using innerHTML.
If that is confusing, the original HTML contained a form, the HTML that replaced it contains the response to the form's Submit, and the code I want to insert is the information from the form.
This seemed to work as long as I had alert code in the script, which I use to check the progress as I debug this. Once I removed the all of alert lines the insert would fail. I figure it has to do something with the asynchronous nature of page rendering, so I think I need to find a way to make sure the new HTML code has loaded before I try writing to the DIV it contains.
In the code below the script fails at show_member_info unless I uncomment the preceding alert line.
function handle_join(X)
{
do_trace('handle_update');
get_member_info();
send_emails(X);
do_trace('clear content');
document.getElementById("members_content").innerHTML='';
document.getElementById("members_image").innerHTML='';
do_trace('load content');
Load_HTML('members/joinConf.html','members_content');
// alert('show_member_info');
show_member_info();
show_trace();
}
How do I determine when the new HTML has loaded and is ready to be manipulated?
Thanks, Mike
The question is a bit dry, but from what i can understand the problem is that you are not awaiting Load_HTML and that's causing some issue with show_member_info.
So I would like to be able to have a print button for entries in our database so users can print an entry via a print friendly "form".
My thought was to create a separate page, add labels and have those labels pull the relevant information.
I know I can add the open widget information via this code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showPage(app.pages.TestPrint);
But I'm running into a few problems:
I can't get the page to open in a new window. Is this possible?
window.open(app.pages.TestPrint);
Just gives me a blank page. Does the browser lose the widget source once the new window opens?
I can't get the print option (either onClick or onDataLoad) to print JUST the image (or widget). I run
window.print();
And it includes headers + scroll bars. Do I need to be running a client side script instead?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
To get exactly what you'd want you'd have to do a lot of work.
Here is my suggested, simpler answer:
Don't open up a new tab. If you use showPage like you mention, and provide a "back" button on the page to go back to where you were, you'll get pretty much everything you need. If you don't want the back to show up when you print, then you can setVisibility(false) on the button before you print, then print, then setVisibility(true).
I'll give a quick summary of how you could do this with a new tab, but it's pretty involved so I can't go into details without trying it myself. The basic idea, is you want to open the page with a full URL, just like a user was navigating to it.
You can use #TestPrint to indicate which page you want to load. You also need the URL of your application, which as far as I can remember is only available in a server-side script using the Apps Script method: ScriptApp.getService().getUrl(). On top of this, you'll probably need to pass in the key so that your page knows what data to load.
So given this, you need to assemble a url by calling a server script, then appending the key property to it. In the end you want a url something like:
https://www.script.google.com/yourappaddress#TestPage?key=keyOfYourModel.
Then on TestPage you need to read the key, and load data for that key. (You can read the key using google.script.url).
Alternatively, I think there are some tricks you can play by opening a blank window and then writing directly to its DOM, but I've never tried that, and since Apps Script runs inside an iframe I'm not sure if it's possible. If I get a chance I'll play with it and update this answer, but for your own reference you could look here: create html page and print to new tab in javascript
I'm imagining something like that, except that your page an write it's html content. Something like:
var winPrint = window.open('', '_blank', 'left=0,top=0,width=800,height=600,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0');
winPrint.document.write(app.pages.TestPage.getElement().innerHTML);
winPrint.document.close();
winPrint.focus();
winPrint.print();
winPrint.close();
Hope one of those three options helps :)
So here is what I ended up doing. It isn't elegant, but it works.
I added a Print Button to a Page Fragment that pops up when a user edits a database entry.
Database Edit Button code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showDialog(app.pageFragments.FragmentName);
That Print Button goes to a different (full) Page and closes the Fragment.
Print Button Code:
app.datasources.ModelName.selectKey(widget.datasource.item._key);
app.showPage(app.pages.ModelName_Print);
app.closeDialog();
I made sure to make the new Print Page was small enough so that Chrome fits it properly into a 8.5 x 11" page (728x975).
I then created a Panel that fills the page and populated the page with Labels
#datasource.item.FieldName
I then put the following into the onDataLoad for the Panel
window.print();
So now when the user presses the Print Button in the Fragment they are taken to this new page and after the data loads they automatically get a print dialog.
The only downside is that after printing the user has to use a back button I added to return to the database page.
1.
As far as I know, you cannot combine window.open with app.pages.*, because
window.open would require url parameter at least, while app.pages.* is essentially an internal routing mechanism provided by App Maker, and it returns page object back, suitable for for switching between pages, or opening dialogs.
2.
You would probably need to style your page first, so like it includes things you would like to have printed out. To do so please use #media print
ex: We have a button on the page and would like to hide it from print page
#media print {
.app-NewPage-Button1 {
display : none;
}
}
Hope it helps.
1. Here is how it is done, in a pop up window, without messing up the current page (client script):
function print(widget, title){
var content=widget.getElement().innerHTML;
var win = window.open('', 'printWindow', 'height=600,width=800');
win.document.write('<head><title>'+title+'/title></head>');
win.document.write('<body>'+content+'</body>');
win.document.close();
win.focus();
win.print();
win.close();
}
and the onclick handler for the button is:
print(widget.root.descendants.PageFragment1, 'test');
In this example, PageFragment1 is a page fragment on the current page, hidden by adding a style with namehidden with definition .hidden{display:none;} (this is different than visible which in App Maker seems to remove the item from the DOM). Works perfectly...
2. You cannot open pages from the app in another tab. In principle something like this would do it:
var w=window.parent.parent;
w.open(w.location.protocol+'//'+w.location.host+w.location.pathname+'#PrintPage', '_blank');
But since the app is running in frame nested two deep from the launching page, and with a different origin, you will not be able to access the url that you need (the above code results in a cross origin frame access error). So you would have to hard code the URL, which changes at deployment, so it gets ugly very fast. Not that you want to anyway, the load time of an app should discourage you from wanting to do that anyway.
I have written a ASP.NET program for a customer, I want to add a message similar to "Preview version, ABD Consulting" on the master.master page, I had thought to use Response.write but it messes up the look of the page as it seems to move page elemets. If I use a label the customer can remove it from the Master.master file, any suggestions? The customer is in a different country so I want to ensure I'm paid.
Many thanks
Serve it on your own server. If it's a preview, they shouldn't have access to the code anyway.
There is nothing you can do unless you host it or control the web server it runs on. Nothing you do in code will matter if they are smart enough. They can write their on HTTP Handlers and replace anything they want.
If you programmatically write out the label during the OnPrerender or Render of the page then the client will not be able to remove it. If you then randomize the ID given to the element, they will find it incredibly hard to apply any javascript functions or CSS styles to it, especially if you directly add the styles to it.
Something like this (pseudo code):
HtmlGenericControl label = new HtmlGenericControl("div");
label.ID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
label.InnerText = "My copyright or ownership text";
label.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Height, "50px");
label.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Width, "100px");
if you then absolutely position it, it should always show up. Note that it isn't totally untouchable and fool proof, but you want to just make it hard enough that the client doesn't try to remove it.
Obfuscate it in a dll and use the Current Context to write a pretty div like the one that StackOverflow.com uses on top.
I'm with George and Rick - don't let them have the source and serve it up from a server you control. In addition, I'd created a background image that says "Demo". This will remind that they need to pay up.
It is possible to add multiple reCAPTCHAS in one form? I tried doing so, even giving the multiple reCAPTCHAS different IDs, but when I load the page in the browser, only one of them is shown.
Is this by design? I need the two reCAPTCHAS because one is for Login, and the other one is for the Register form, which will be shown on the same page.
Thanks!
WT
Only one Cpatcha is supported in a page at any time. What you can do is use AJAX and lod captcha after the form is loaded.
This might of some help.
After a quick google search, it appears that it's not currently possible. One suggestion I saw was to pop up a modal recaptcha just as the user submits the form. ondemandcaptcha for Ruby.
I was initially lead by this thread to believe there is no simple answer, but after digging through the Recaptcha ajax library I can tell you this isn't true! TLDR, working jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Vanit/Qu6kn/
It's possible to overwrite the Recaptcha callbacks to do whatever you want with the challenge. You don't even need a proxy div because with the overwrites the DOM code won't execute. Call Recaptcha.reload() whenever you want to trigger the callbacks again.
function doSomething(challenge){
$(':input[name=recaptcha_challenge_field]').val(challenge);
$('img.recaptcha').attr('src', '//www.google.com/recaptcha/api/image?c='+challenge);
}
//Called on Recaptcha.reload()
Recaptcha.finish_reload = function(challenge,b,c){
doSomething(challenge);
}
//Called on page load
Recaptcha.challenge_callback = function(){
doSomething(RecaptchaState.challenge)
}
Recaptcha.create("YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY");
It is now possible to do this easily with explicit recaptcha creation. See my answer here:
How do I show multiple recaptchas on a single page?
It's not too difficult to load each Recaptcha only when needed using the Recaptcha AJAX API, see my post here:
How do I show multiple recaptchas on a single page?
the captcha has an img element #recaptcha_challenge_image element , so after you set the recaptcha in one div say "regCaptch",get that img src attr
,set your other captcha div html to the old one html and then set the #recaptcha_challenge_image src to the src you get , here is a working example
var reCaptcha_src = $('#recaptcha_challenge_image').attr('src');
$('#texo').html($('#regCaptch').html());
$('#recaptcha_challenge_image').attr('src',reCaptcha_src);
I have built a basic data entry application allowing users to browse external content in iframe and enter data quickly from the same page. One of the data variables is the URL.
Ideally I would like to be able to load the iframes current url into a textbox with javascript. I realize now that this is not going to happen due to security issues.
Has anyone done anything on the server side? or know of any .Net browser in browser controls. The ultimate goal is to just give the user an easy method of extracting the url of the page they are viewing in the iframe It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be an iframe, a browser in the browser would be ideal.
Thanks,
Adam
I did some tests in Firefox 3 comparing the value of .src and .documentWindow.location.href in an iframe. (Note: The documentWindow is called contentDocument in Chrome, so instead of .documentWindow.location.href in Chrome it will be .contentDocument.location.href.)
src is always the last URL that was loaded in the iframe without user interaction. I.e., it contains the first value for the URL, or the last value you set up with Javascript from the containing window doing:
document.getElementById("myiframe").src = 'http://www.google.com/';
If the user navigates inside the iframe, you can't anymore access the value of the URL using src. In the previous example, if the user goes away from www.google.com and you do:
alert(document.getElementById("myiframe").src);
You will still get "http://www.google.com".
documentWindow.location.href is only available if the iframe contains a page in the same domain as the containing window, but if it's available it always contains the right value for the URL, even if the user navigates in the iframe.
If you try to access documentWindow.location.href (or anything under documentWindow) and the iframe is in a page that doesn't belong to the domain of the containing window, it will raise an exception:
document.getElementById("myiframe").src = 'http://www.google.com/';
alert(document.getElementById("myiframe").documentWindow.location.href);
Error: Permission denied to get property Location.href
I have not tested any other browser.
Hope it helps!
document.getElementById('iframeID').contentWindow.location.href
You can't access cross-domain iframe location at all.
I use this.
var iframe = parent.document.getElementById("theiframe");
var innerDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
var currentFrame = innerDoc.location.href;
HTA works like a normal windows application.
You write HTML code, and save it as an .hta file.
However, there are, at least, one drawback: The browser can't open an .hta file; it's handled as a normal .exe program. So, if you place a link to an .hta onto your web page, it will open a download dialog, asking of you want to open or save the HTA file. If its not a problem for you, you can click "Open" and it will open a new window (that have no toolbars, so no Back button, neither address bar, neither menubar).
I needed to do something very similar to what you want, but instead of iframes, I used a real frameset.
The main page need to be a .hta file; the other should be a normal .htm page (or .php or whatever).
Here's an example of a HTA page with 2 frames, where the top one have a button and a text field, that contains the second frame URL; the button updates the field:
frameset.hta
<html>
<head>
<title>HTA Example</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION id="frames" border="thin" caption="yes" icon="http://www.google.com/favicon.ico" showintaskbar="yes" singleinstance="no" sysmenu="yes" navigable="yes" contextmenu="no" innerborder="no" scroll="auto" scrollflat="yes" selection="yes" windowstate="normal"></HTA:APPLICATION>
</head>
<frameset rows="60px, *">
<frame src="topo.htm" name="topo" id="topo" application="yes" />
<frame src="http://www.google.com" name="conteudo" id="conteudo" application="yes" />
</frameset>
</html>
There's an HTA:APPLICATION tag that sets some properties to the file; it's good to have, but it isn't a must.
You NEED to place an application="yes" at the frames' tags. It says they belongs to the program too and should have access to all data (if you don't, the frames will still show the error you had before).
topo.htm
<html>
<head>
<title>Topo</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function copia_url() {
campo.value = parent.conteudo.location;
}
</script>
</head>
<body style="background: lightBlue;" onload="copia_url()">
<input type="button" value="Copiar URL" onclick="copia_url()" />
<input type="text" size="120" id="campo" />
</body>
</html>
You should notice that I didn't used any getElement function to fetch the field; on HTA file, all elements that have an ID becomes instantly an object
I hope this help you, and others that get to this question. It solved my problem, that looks like to be the same as you have.

I like your server side idea, even if my proposed implementation of it sounds a little bit ghetto.
You could set the .innerHTML of the iframe to the HTML contents you grab server side. Depending on how you grab this, you will have to pay attention to relative versus absolute paths.
Plus, depending on how the page you are grabbing interacts with other pages, this could totally not work (cookies being set for the page you are grabbing won't work across domains, maybe state is being tracked in Javascript... Lots of reasons this might not work.)
I don't believe that tracking the current state of the page you are trying to mirror is theoretically possible, but I'm not sure. The site could track all sorts of things server side, you won't have access to this state. Imagine the case where on a page load a variable is set to a random value server-side, how would you capture this state?
Do these ideas help with anything?
-Brian J. Stinar-
Does this help?
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/iframe.html
I only tested this in firefox, but if you have something like this:
<iframe name='myframe' id='myframe' src='http://www.google.com'></iframe>
You can get its address by using:
document.getElementById('myframe').src
Not sure if I understood your question correctly but anyways :)
You can use Ra-Ajax and have an iframe wrapped inside e.g. a Window control. Though in general terms I don't encourage people to use iframes (for anything)
Another alternative is to load the HTML on the server and send it directly into the Window as the content of a Label or something. Check out how this Ajax RSS parser is loading the RSS items in the source which can be downloaded here (Open Source - LGPL)
(Disclaimer; I work with Ra-Ajax...)
Ok, so in this application, there is an iframe in which the user is supplied with links or some capacity that allows that iframe to browse to some external site. You are then looking to capture the URL to which the user has browsed.
Something to keep in mind. Since the URL is to an external source, you will be limited in how much you can interact with this iframe via javascript (or an client side access for that matter), this is known as browser cross-domain security, as apparently you have discovered. There are clever work arounds, as presented here Cross-domain, cross-frame Javascript, although I do not think this work around applies in this case.
About all you can access is the location, as you need.
I would suggest making the code presented more resilitant and less error prone. Try browsing the web sometime with IE or FF configured to show javascript errors. You will be surprised just how many javascript errors are thrown, largely because there is a lot of error prone javascript out there, which just continues to proliferate.
This solution assumes that the iframe in question is the same "window" context where you are running the javascript. (Meaning, it is not embedded within another frame or iframe, in which case, the javascript code gets more involved, and you likely need to recursively search through the window hierarchy.)
<iframe name='frmExternal' id='frmExternal' src='http://www.stackoverflow.com'></frame>
<input type='text' id='txtUrl' />
<input type='button' id='btnGetUrl' value='Get URL' onclick='GetIFrameUrl();' />
<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>
function GetIFrameUrl()
{
if (!document.getElementById)
{
return;
}
var frm = document.getElementById("frmExternal");
var txt = document.getElementById("txtUrl");
if (frm == null || txt == null)
{
// not great user feedback but slightly better than obnoxious script errors
alert("There was a problem with this page, please refresh.");
return;
}
txt.value = frm.src;
}
</script>
Hope this helps.
You can access the src property of the iframe but that will only give you the initially loaded URL. If the user is navigating around in the iframe via you'll need to use an HTA to solve the security problem.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536474(VS.85).aspx
Check out the link, using an HTA and setting the "application" property of an iframe will allow you to access the document.href property and parse out all of the information you want, including DOM elements and their values if you so choose.
