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.

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)'
(disclaimer: I'm one of the main authors of IMDbPY)
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).
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 have a form that has some optional fields but if a user doesn't fill them out the label of the input will be sent in the email and they will be empty. so for example if a user doesn't enter a city field the email will say City:
Is there a way to set conditionals where if a user doesn't enter optional fields the label wont be sent?

Short answer: yes, but.
Long answer: Wpcf7 has events for on send and others that you can hook into to extract and manipulate the data it has at the time. It's not a well documented aspect of the plug in, because it's really intended for the developer themselves to use, but you can write add_hook commands into your functions . php file and then use your own functions to change the output.
I think the send hook is called "wpcf7_send" so you can write a function like this:
function beforesend($obj) {
//manipulation of message here
}
add_hook('wpcf7_send', 'beforesend');
It's only a starting point but by exploring a bit you can find the hook names, and class structures you need.
Take a standard web page with lots of text fields, drop downs etc.
What is the most efficient way in webdriver to fill out the values and then verify if the values have been entered correctly.
You only have to test that the values are entered correctly if you have some javascript validation or other magic happening at your input fields. You don't want to test that webdriver/selenium works correctly.
There are various ways, depending if you want to use webdriver or selenium. Here is a potpourri of the stuff I'm using.
Assert.assertEquals("input field must be empty", "", selenium.getValue("name=model.query"));
driver.findElement(By.name("model.query")).sendKeys("Testinput");
//here you have to wait for javascript to finish. E.g wait for a css Class or id to appear
Assert.assertEquals("Testinput", selenium.getValue("name=model.query"));
With webdriver only:
WebElement inputElement = driver.findElement(By.id("input_field_1"));
inputElement.clear();
inputElement.sendKeys("12");
//here you have to wait for javascript to finish. E.g wait for a css Class or id to appear
Assert.assertEquals("12", inputElement.getAttribute("value"));
Hopefully, the results of filling out your form are visible to the user in some manner. So you could think along these BDD-esque lines:
When I create a new movie
Then I should see my movie page
That is, your "new movie" steps would do the field entry & submit. And your "Then" would assert that the movie shows up with your entered data.
element = driver.find_element(:id, "movie_title")
element.send_keys 'The Good, the Bad, the Ugly'
# etc.
driver.find_element(:id, "submit").click
I'm just dabbling in this now, but this is what I came up with so far. It certainly seems more verbose than something like Capybara:
fill_in 'movie_title', :with => 'The Good, the Bad, the Ugly'
Hope this helps.
