Set optional keys in Laravel Push Plugin - laravel-4

Currently I am building api using Laravel4. Recently i needed to use Push Notification for GCM. Luckly i found a plugin https://github.com/davibennun/laravel-push-notification . I can sent out notification successfully.
Problems
Firstly when GCM arrived , it overwrite the previous one.
Secondly I have no idea how to set those keys such as "collapse_key" , "delay_while_idle" .
This is how i set keys currently
$message = PushNotification::Message($msg,array(
'msgcnt'=> 1,
'title'=>$event->title,
'msgtype' => $msg ,
'collapseKey' => 'invited'
));
but collapseKey is not working . Any idea ! Thanks

I think here you'll find the answer https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/docs/PAYLOAD.md
You can send almost anything in that array, but some special keys will trigger special message structure or behaviour.

How to send to multiple recipients (WITHOUT LOOPING) while using variable alphanumeric sender ID?

I was wondering if there is a way to set multiple recipients WITHOUT looping over the list of recipients at my end?! Also most importantly while using variable alphanumeric sender ID and NOT buying a twilio number?
I can do all this for single recipient like this:
$twilio_client->messages->create(
'+64*******', //to
[
'from'=> 'foo',
'body' => 'bar'
]);
Works perfectly fine. However, doesnt work with multiple receivers.
Also note, it was bloody-1-step easy to implement smsbroadcast.com.au and pass all this in a simple call (simple call, quick fast, super easy documentation - unlike twilio which has like a billion lines of confusing documentation, 200 similar products and YET no direct api to check balance, or do a simple thing such as multiple recipients!!)
After a lot of back and through with the support, plus reading all the over-written-essay (so-called documentations), finally I found a way to get all that done.
[Step 1: Configuration]
You have to implement Notify product which is a separate product than the Message product.
So from left menu Notify> Service> add New. Here you need to add a Messaging Service and have it selected here for Notify.
On the Messaging Services page, it will ask you to buy a twilio number. Instead just click on Configure from the left menu and put in all the details you need.
Specifically and importantly, make sure you have Alpha Sender ID checked and a default Alpha Sender text entered there. This will be the default fallback in case if your api call fails to accept the from param.
.
[Step 2: API Call]
//$notify_service_SID = the SID from the Notify Service you added in step 1
$client = new Client($this->Account_SID, $this->auth_token);
$notify_obj = $client->notify->services($notify_service_SID);
//you need receivers in a JSON object such as the following, plus make sure numbers are starting with country code to ensure alpha sender works correctly
$receivers_json = [0=>'{"binding_type":"sms","address":"+614********"}']+[1=>'{"binding_type":"sms","address":"+614*******"}']
$call_ret = $notify_obj->notifications->create([
'toBinding'=> $receivers_json,
'body' => $msg, //actual message goes here
'sms' => [
'from'=> $sender //alphanumeric variable sender
],
]);
.
[Step 3: Check for errors]
There is no direct way to check all errors in twilio when implementing Notify. Here is my mixed approach.
Exception handling to the notifications->create call
$call_ret will have err if the Notify fails, but not when the Message fails. because Notify just passes the call to Message and there is no direct way to check Message errors over Notify call. So you would check for $call_ret['err']
Call the Alerts API; fetch all recent alerts, and match against the Notification SID you received from the last call.
--
Here is how to do the Alerts check:
$alerts = #$client->monitor->v1->alerts->read();
if(is_array($alerts))
foreach($alerts as $av)
{
$t = #$av->toArray();
#parse_str($t['alertText'], $alert_details);
if(isset($alert_details['notificationSid']) && $alert_details['notificationSid'] == $call_retx['sid'])
{
$alert_err = $alert_details['description'];
break;
}
}
$alert_err will carry an error if there was an error. Apart from this there is no direct way to do it. You can fetch these Alerts via crons or you can setup a webhook for them to do a call back. Or simply implement a one call simple api that does it all in super simple way such assmsbroadcast.

IMAP command to show headers + size of message

I am looking for the syntax to show both message headers (to, from, subject, date), as well as message size when issuing an IMAP command via OpenSSL or telnet.
Currently, I am using:
. fetch 1:* (body[header.fields (from to subject date)])
and
. fetch 1:* (rfc822.size)
I am using these as separate commands, but I was wondering if there is a way to integrate them into a single command. I haven't been able to figure it out myself and wonder if anybody here knows of a way.
You should be able to put both data items in the list:
. fetch 1:* (rfc822.size body[header.fields (from to subject date)])

Queued Events in Laravel 4: Event::flusher() method not found

According to the Laravel 4 Documentation on queued Events, I tried to register an event flusher this way:
Event::flusher('foo.bar', function($data)
{
Mail::send(array('emails.notification', 'emails.notification_text'), array('content' => $data), function($message)
{
$message
->to('email#example.com', 'My Name')
->bcc('test#example.com')
->subject('Message from Listener');
});
});
But I am getting the following error upon loading of the script:
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher::flusher()
I also couldn't find this method in the source codes of L4. But when I change this from Event::flusher() to Event::listen(), everything works as expected.
So my guess is, that the documentation isn't up to date and the Event::flusher() method has been dropped, since Event::listen() does the same work. Or are there any differences between those two methods and I have an error in my code?
You may need to update your libraries using:
$ composer update
If that doesn't work, let us know what your composer.json file looks like - you might be using a beta version if the framework. It was updated very often before the first stable release.

Joomla >1.7 hide log messages from browser

I'm developing an extension for Joomla!; at the moment I'm trying to make it 3.0 compatible - as with 3.0 the logging changed a little (*). Building on the answer from this related question, my current code looks like this:
JLog::addLogger(array(
'text_file' => 'plg_system_myplg.log.php'
));
JLog::add('blah blah log msg');
The problem is that the log also goes to the messages which are shown to the user - this I want to prevent, I want the log msg only to go to the log file. I think it has to do with the "category" that JLog::add takes as a 3rd (optional) parameter, but I have no idea what to pass there?
Can anybody tell me how to hide the messages / or tell me if I'm on the right way with the categories and what value I should use?
Thanks!
(*) It actually changed already with 1.7 as far as I gathered so far, but the old method of calling addEntry on the return of JLog::getInstance(...) seems to have been removed from 2.5 to 3.0.
Edit: Think I found a way now; using:
JLog::addLogger(array(
'text_file' => 'plg_system_myplg.log.php',
JLog::ALL,
'myplg'
));
JLog::add('blah blah log msg', JLog::INFO, 'myplg');
all my log entries go only into my log file (and not to the messages shown to the user). However, I also get a few deprecation warnings - one about my code, but also some unrelated ones:
WARNING deprecated JAccess::getActions is deprecated. Use JAccess::getActionsFromFile or JAcces::getActionsFromData instead.
WARNING deprecated JSubMenuHelper::getEntries() is deprecated. Use JHtmlSidebar::getEntries() instead.
WARNING deprecated JSubMenuHelper::getFilters() is deprecated. Use JHtmlSidebar::getFilters() instead.
WARNING deprecated JSubMenuHelper::getAction() is deprecated. Use JHtmlSidebar::getAction() instead.
Not sure what to make of those - why do they appear in my log file, shouldn't they go to the default error.log file instead of my file ?
This is what I am using, works for Joomla 1.5 - 3.2:
if(version_compare(JVERSION,'1.7.0','ge')) {
jimport('joomla.log.log'); // Include the log library (J1.7+)
$priorities = JLog::ALL ^ JLog::WARNING; // exclude warning (because of deprecated)
// In J3.0 we need to ensure that log messages only go to our file, thus use the categories (already supported in J2.5)
if(version_compare(JVERSION,'2.5.0','ge')) {
$logCategory = 'com_mycomponent';
JLog::addLogger(array('text_file' => $logFileName), $priorities, $logCategory);
JLog::add($msg, JLog::INFO, $logCategory);
}else{
JLog::addLogger(array('text_file' => $logFileName), $priorities);
JLog::add($msg, JLog::INFO);
}
} else {
// Joomla! 1.6 and 1.5
jimport('joomla.error.log'); // Include the log library
$log = &JLog::getInstance($logFileName);
$log->addEntry(array('comment' => $msg, 'level' => 'INFO'));
}
This shows the trick for gettring of the deprecated messages.
And yes, you have to include a category for your messages to ensure they are not showing up as system messages.
Use
new JException('Something happened');
This will only add it to debug log but will not show anything.
It seems, that Joomla 3.0 has no default logger enabled. The same in Joomla 3.0.3. Nothing turns logging on by default - even Debug mode.
Finally I think I have solved my issue with unrelated log entries showing up.
A close look at the API documentation of the addLogger function revealed that the third parameter, $categories, is supposed to be an array of categories for which this log will be used.
This is in contradiction to the version of http://docs.joomla.org/Using_JLog that is current at the time of this writing, where a single category is given instead of an array.
Changing my call to addLogger to use an array, like this:
JLog::addLogger(array(
'text_file' => 'plg_system_myplg.log.php',
JLog::ALL,
array('myplg')
));
And keeping my fingers crossed that this will fix the issue!
Edit: unfortunately even this still doesn't solve my issue - still got unrelated entries :(.
I found the answer.. hope this script make you understand.. I already built as function . this code work on joomla 3. hope work in joomla 2

How to use translations in Yii console application?

I have created a console Yii application that works as a background worker for a web app - it sends out emails and it needs to send them with translated messages.
For some reason however, the messages are not translated when using Yii::t
If I set the language to something else than english with Yii::app->setLanguage('et_ee'), and check that it is really changed with Yii::app->getLanguage() the texts are always in english.
When I run this same command from web, the texts are correctly translated.
I guess there must be something special I have to do for the translatiosn to work in a console application?
I have this error to. I dont know how is fix it. I am get lang array trow require('path/to/message/ru/message.php') in to var and use it. It is wrong, but it is work for me.
You need to specify the messages component in your console.php configuration
'messages' => array(
'class' => 'CDbMessageSource',
'forceTranslation'=>true,
'sourceMessageTable' => 'source_message',
'translatedMessageTable' => 'translated_message',
),
Just add string (For example - russian languages):
'language' => 'ru'
in config/console.php.
