I have this in my controller
public function editProfile(Request $request){
$question1 = Question::where('group',1)->lists('question', 'id');
$question2 = Question::where('group',2)->lists('question', 'id');
return view('user', compact(''question1', 'question2'));
}
$question = {\"1\":\"What is the first name of your best friend in high school?\",\"2\":\"What was the name of your first pet?\",\"3\":\"What was the first thing you learned to cook?\",\"4\":\"What was the first film you saw in the theater?\"}
$question2 = {\"5\":\"Where did you go the first time you flew on a plane?\",\"6\":\"What is the last name of your favorite elementary school teacher?\",\"7\":\"In What city or town does your nearest sibling live?\"}
I would like to translate the value in both question 1 and question 2 and pass it to user blade without changing the key, Any suggestions?
As specified at the localization doc, you need to populate a lang file with translation strings. So, let's say you want to show both Spanish and English strings. In this case you'd need to create two files: /resources/lang/en/messages.php and /resources/lang/es/messages.php. The content of one of those files would be somewhat like this:
<?php
// resources/lang/es/messages.php
return [
'welcome' => 'Bienvenido'
];
This way, you could access the strings in there with the following method: __('messages.welcome'), which would return the string for the language set on your config/app.php -- the default entry is en, by the way, but you can set it to whatever you want. The value in there will define which language will be chosen when selecting strings.
Another method to create translation strings is using the string itself as key, storing them in a JSON file instead of PHP. For example, the following translation string:
{
"I love programming.": "Me encanta programar."
}
would be accessible through this: __('I love programming.').
Having said that, you may solve your problem through the two methods presented above. You could store in your DB keywords for the questions instead of the whole text, and create translation for as many languages as you want. Also, you could keep the questions in your database and create translation strings for those questions. Finally, you'd need to iterate over the fetched entries and translate each one of them, or use some Collection helper to do the hard work for you, like transform or map.

Code
I want to put found text in a list then .log() it
I copied the .replace() method from my previous code but I only know how to make it put a space after 5 letters. Is there a way to make it separate each "word" from a different div's? My log looks like this log and I want it to look like:
isSystemObject name description avatar tags isSystemObject name description avatar tags
Appreciate all the help
You can use the each() method to loop over all elements, extract the text and then apply the replace() method like this:
cy.get('#header').find('#label').each(($ele) => {
const nazwy = $ele.text().trim().replace(/(.{5})/g,"$1 ")
cy.log(nazwy)//prints label texts one by one
})
I'm trying to make my test app in multilanguage way.
This question has two correlated questions:
First question:
I followed the second answer in How to create multilingual translated routes in Laravel and this help me having a multilanguage site and the route cached, but I've a question and some misunderstanding.
It's a good practice overwrite an app config as they do int the AppServiceProver.php, making:
Config::set('app.locale_prefix', Request::segment(1));
Isn't better to work with the Session::locale in any case?
Second question:
In my case I've two languages, and in the navbar I want to print just ENG when locale is original language, and ITA when session locale is English.
If I'm in the Italian page, the ENG link in the navbar should point to the same English translated page.
Working with the method used in the other question, I hade many problems caused by the:
Config::set('app.locale_prefix', Request::segment(1));
We overwrite the variable in the config file local_prefix, and every time I switch to English language the locale_prefix will change to 'eng' and this sounds me strange, another thing I did is this:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.alt_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
We use the alt_langs where are defined only the alternative languages, and this is a problem cause if I pass the local lang, in my case 'it', like lang parameter, this will not be found cause, from the description, the alt_lang should not contain the locale language and you will be able to get only the translated string.
If I change the:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.alt_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
in:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.all_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
Now using app.all_langs I'm able to choose which URL you want and in which language I want.
How do I get the translated URL?
In the blade file I need to get the translated URL of the page, and if read the other question, we used the $prefix for caching the routes and giving to the route a new name ->name($prefix.'_home'); in this way I can cache all the route and I can call the routes using blade without prefix {{ route('name') }} but, needing the translated url of the actual page a made this on the top of the view:
#php
$ThisRoute = Route::currentRouteName();
$result = substr($ThisRoute, 0, 2);
if ($result =='it' ){
$routeName = str_replace('it_', '', $ThisRoute);
$url = route($routeName,[],true,'en');
} else {
$routeName = str_replace('en_', '', $ThisRoute);
$url = route($routeName,[],true,'it');
}
#endphp
Doing this I get the actual route name that should be it_home I check if start with it_ or en_, I remove the it_ or en_ prefix and I get the translated URL, now you can use the $url as <a href="{{ $url" }}>text</a> cause if I call the {{ route('page') }} I get the link, with the locale language.
This code is not very good, I know, but I written in 5 minutes, need more implementation, and check, but for the moment is just to play with Laravel.
It's a good way?? How can I do it better (except the blade link retrieving)?? Many solution I found used middleware, but I would like to avoid a link in the navbar like mysite.com/changelang?lang=en
Is a good approach overriding the app.locale_prefix?
First
according to your question, it's a bad practice to save the preferences into .env or session because as soon as the session is finished the saved language will be removed also it's common when you need to store any preferences related to your website such as (Color, Font, Language, ...etc) you must store any of them into the cache.
Second
honestly, your code is a very strange and NOT common way and there are two ways to handle what do you need
First
There is a very helpful and awesome package called mcamara it'll help you too much (I recommend this solution).
Second
you can do it from scratch using the lang folder located in the resource folder and you must create files with the same count of the needed languages then use the keys that you'll define into these files into views and you can prefix your routes with the selected language you can use group method like so
Route::group(['prefix' => 'selected_lang'], function() {
Route::get('first_route', [Controller::class, 'your_method']);
});
or you can add the selected language as a query string like so localhost:8000/your_route?lang=en you can follow this tutorial for more info.
I am about to make more SEO-friendly URLs on my page and want a pattern looking like this for my products:
www.example.com/product-category/a-pretty-long-seo-friendly-product-name-12
So what are we looking at here?
www.example.com/{slug1}/{slug2}-{id}
The only thing I will care about from the URL in my controller is the {id}. The rest two slugs are just of SEO purpose. So to my question. How can I get the 12 from a-pretty-long-seo-friendly-product-name-12?
I have tried www.mydomain.com/{slug}/{slug}-{id} and in my controller to try and get $id. Id does not work. I am not able to able to separate it from from a-pretty-long-seo-friendly-product-name. So in my controller no matter how I do I get {slug2} and {id} concatenated.
Coming from rails it is a piece of cake there but can't seem to figure out how to do that here in laravel.
EDIT:
I am sorry I formulated my question very unclear. I am looking for a way to do this in the routes file. Like in rails.
You're on the right track, but you can't really logically separate /{slug}-{id} if you're using dash-separated strings. To handle this, you can simply explode the chunks and select the last one:
// routes/web.php
Route::get('/{primarySlug}/{secondarySlugAndId}', [ExampleController::class, 'example']);
// ExampleController.php
public function example($primarySlug, $secondarySlugAndId){
$parts = collect(explode('-', $secondarySlugAndId));
$id = $parts->last();
$secondarySlug = $parts->slice(0, -1)->implode('-');
... // Do anything else you need to do
}
Given the URL example.com/primary-slug/secondary-slug-99, you would have the following variables:
dd($primarySlug, $secondarySlug, $id);
// "primary-slug"
// "secondary-slug"
// "99"
The only case this wouldn't work for is if your id had a dash in it, but that's another layer of complexity that I hope you don't have to handle.
Route::get('/test/{slug1}/{slug2}','IndexController#index');
public function index($slug1, $slug2)
{
$id_slug = last(explode('-',$slug2));
$second_slug = str_replace('-'.$id_slug,'',$slug2);
dd($slug1, $second_slug,$id_slug);
}
I know that with Descriptive programming you can do something like this:
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("StackOverflow").Link("text:=Go To Next Page ", "html tag:=A").Click
But is it possible to create some kind of string so I can assign more than one data value and pass it as single variable? I've tried many combinations using escape characters and I always get error.
For example in the case above, let's say I have more properties in the Page object, so I'd normally have to do something like this:
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID")...etc...
But I'd like to pass "name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID" as a single variable, so when writing many objects I'd only have to write:
Browser(BrowserString).Page(PageString).WebEdit("name:=asdfgh")
And the first part would remain static, so if the parents' data needs to be modified I'd only have to modify two variables and not all the objects created in all libraries.
Is it possible?
If I was not clear enough please let me know.
Thank you in advance!
I think what you're looking for is UFT's Description object
This allows you finer grained control on the description since in descriptive programming all values are regular expressions but with Description you can turn the regular expression functionality off for a specific property.
Set desc = Description.Create()
desc("html tag").Value = "A"
desc("innertext").Value = "More information..."
desc("innertext").RegularExpression = False
Browser("Example Domain").Navigate "www.example.com"
Browser("Example Domain").Page("Example Domain").WebElement(desc).Click
If you want to represent this with plain string then it's a bit more of a problem, you can write a helper function but I'm not sure I would recommend it.
Function Desc(descString)
Set ret = Description.Create()
values = Split(descString, "::")
For Each value In values
keyVal = Split(value, ":=")
ret(keyVal(0)).Value = keyVal(1)
Next
Set Desc = ret
End Function
' Usage
Browser("StackOverflow").Page("StackOverflow").WebElement(Desc("html tag:=H2::innertext:=some text")).Click
Further reading about descriptive programming.
As an alternative to Motti's excellent answer, you could also Set a variable to match your initial descriptive object and then extend it as required:
Set myPage = Browser("StackOverflow").Page("name:=StackOverflow", "html id:=PageID")
after which you can then use
myPage.WebEdit("name:=asdfgh")
throughout the rest of the code, so long as the myPage object stays in scope...
I know i can get all segments from url like this
Lets say i have this example link
www.example.com/de/products.html
Using url_helper like this:
$data['url'] = $this->uri->uri_string();
I will get value like this
de/products
But i dont need first segment de, only products, the problem is that
i dont know how many segments it will be, i only need to remove the first
Is there possible to forget first segment with url helper in CI?
Try like this...
Use the php's explode() function to make the url string as array.Then apply array's array_shift() function which always removes the first element from array.
Code is looks like as below
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
//print_r($arr);
Then use the php's implode() method to get the URI without first segment.Hope it will works...
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
echo $uri;
There is no URL helper in the CI to forget the first segment. However you can easily make a custom one and put #Hikmat's answer below it in the application/helpers/MY_url_helper.php in the Core folder.
e.g.
function my_forget_first_segment() {
$data= $this->uri->uri_string();
$arr=explode('/', $data);
array_shift($arr);
$uri=implode('/',$arr);
return $uri;
}
Before Edit answer.
You need to try this
$second_segment = $this->uri->segment(2);
From Codeigniter documentation -
$this->uri->segment(n);
Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where n is the segment number you wish to retrieve. Segments are numbered from left to right. For example, if your full URL is this:
http://example.com/index.php/news/local/metro/crime_is_up
The segment numbers would be this:
1. news
2. local
3. metro
4. crime_is_up
The optional second parameter defaults to NULL and allows you to set the return value of this method when the requested URI segment is missing. For example, this would tell the method to return the number zero in the event of failure:
$product_id = $this->uri->segment(3, 0);
example:
<?php
$data=$this->uri->segment(2);
$val=explode('.', $data);
echo $val[0];
?>
