I have a MediaWiki page set up in my company's intranet.
I would like to get the content of a section in a specific page using MediaWiki API (through AJAX).
I would like to refer to the section by its title like 'General' and refer to the page by its title as well, like 'Licenses'.
Is it possible somehow?
The only thing I could achieve is referring to the page by its title and refer to the section by a number like this:
http://mywiki.local/wiki/api.php?format=xml&action=parse&prop=text&page=Licenses§ion=1
But let's say I create a new section before 'General' I would have to update all my AJAX URLs that queries this page. So this isn't good enough.
I couldn't find any working solution for this. Any ideas?
You can do this by first retrieving prop=sections to get the list of sections and their numbers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=xml&action=parse&prop=sections&page=License
Then make your original request, with the section number you figured out based on the previous request.
Keep in mind that two different sections can have the same name.

On my page I would like to output all records of a specific folder
but the number should initially be limited to a certain quantity (to reduce the loading times). With a "Load more" button further records should be loaded.
Does anyone have a hint on how I can achieve this?
I have already found several approaches on the web in connection with AJAX, but since I'm not familiar with this yet, more questions than answers have emerged ...
For info: I use an own Template Extension / Distribution under Typo3 9.5.8
Thank you in advance for any help!!
The state of the art solution is the AJAX solution, where you load only the required records from the server and modify the page on the fly.
Another option would be an URL parameter which is evaluated by your extension.
With the parameter the full list is shown,
without only the first N and a button with the link to the same URL including the parameter for the full list.
Make sure the paramter is handled correctly and generates another cached version of the page. (keywords: cHash)
As you now have two pages with partially identical content: don't forget to tell the searchengines that the short variant should not be indexed.
You could use the Paginate Widget like documented here: https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/view-helper-reference/9.5/en-us/typo3/fluid/latest/Widget/Paginate.html
By overriding the paginate template file and only rendering the pagination.nextPage link, you could load the nextpage via AJAX.
I tried to update my campaign html content using mailchimp api:
/campaigns/{campaign_id}/content
You can find more information about this api here: https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/campaigns/content/#
Before sending a campaign, I tried to get campaign content html, modified it and then set campaign content html using above api. I just simply use BeautifulSoup to append a new tag to content body:
content.body.append(BeautifulSoup('<p>Mailchimp is freaking shittttt</p>'))
Then, some interesting things happen, the first campaign I created, it works fine, the tag added appears in my email. But, then the sub-sequence campaigns not working anymore, the tag added not appearing.
I observed something strange on my mailchimp campaign site, even though I set campaign html content, only Plain-Text Email gets changed (HTML Source still the old version) for both working and not working campaign.
Anyone got this issue before?
I had a similar issue and I had to take a slightly different approach to solve it. According to this answer by Joel H., "MailChimp doesn't allow updating the campaign's HTML content because the campaign type is based on a template. In order to update the HTML content, the campaign has to be set to custom HTML instead of a template."
That solution didn't suit me but it led me to another solution: creating a template, creating editable content areas within that template, and then using the API to retrieve and edit the text in those content areas.
Here is an attempt at adapting my code to solve your problem. I'm using Python 3 and the mailchimp3 client.
default_footer_content = client.templates.default_content.all(template_id=TEMPLATE_ID)['sections']['SECTION_NAME']
new_footer_content = default_footer_content.replace(PLACEHOLDER, 'Mailchimp is freaking shittttt')
client.campaigns.content.update(campaign_id=CAMPAIGN_ID, data={'template': {'id': TEMPLATE_ID, 'sections': {'SECTION_NAME': new_footer_contennt}}})
Some pointers on the above code:
You can find TEMPLATE_ID with the API or simply by copying the numbers at the end of the URL when editing the template in the web interface
You define SECTION_NAME by placing 'mc:edit="SECTION NAME"' in the appropriate place in the template
I've used .replace() rather than .append() so you will need to put PLACEHOLDER or similar at the appropriate place in the template
I hope that helps, happy to modify my answer if it needs more clarification. This is my first answer on Stack Overflow so constructive criticism appreciated :)
I'm using LocomotiveCMS on a project and I have some doubts on what's the best approach when dealing with ajax requests to the same site.
I have a Content Type for a model called reviews. There can be plenty of review entries, so I'd like to show 20 per time, then allow fetching other 20s by hitting a button (like a 'load more' button).
What is the best approach for this? I was thinking on making a custom API controller in order to do that. It would have to find the right type of content entries based on the content type for reviews. Then add some regular javascript that hits that controller and add the new set of reviews based on a mustache template. Does it make sense or is there something that LocomotiveCMS has in order to accomplish such type of tasks?
Update:
I got an answer from the LocomotiveCMS google group. Basically somebody suggested to create a liquid template that looks like a json. For the full answer go to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/locomotivecms/vJKDtl81v7E/IEwOR9hhLjMJ
I have a list of FAQ links on my home page in a static block in the footer. Each link however just opens up the FAQ page.
My code sample
What is Individually Quick Frozen?</li>
What I want is that when a user clicks a particular link in the list on the homepage footer under FAQs (as above), the user should be directly be taken to the answer of that question on the FAQ page i.e. the page should scroll down to where the questions is answered.
My Code sample
<p><strong><a id="1">What is Individually Quick Frozen?</a></strong></p>
But no joy! what am I doing wrong?
Make your link look like this:
What is Individually Quick Frozen?</li>
or better yet
What is Individually Quick Frozen?</li>
Note: For Cms pages urls use direct_url as a parameter for the {{store}} directive. It avoids having a / at the end of the URL. Useful if your pages end with .html. It's not your case but it may be useful in the future.
Now your code in the cms page should looks like this:
<p><strong><a id="_1">What is Individually Quick Frozen?</a></strong></p>
Avoid using numerical ids for elements. It's not standard
Worked perfectly, be sure to update
<a href="{{store url="faqs"}}#_1">
"faqs" to what ever page you want your tag to land on though.
I have many dynamically generated pages, made by the same PHP file, and I'd like the comments that are being submitted to the user's wall have a different title and summary, considering the page they were sent from. Do I need to dynamically generate the meta tags, or is there a way to embed the title and summary in the comments widget script itself?
You will need to do the first thing...dynamically generate the og tag in the head of the document. They must be set that way when sending the HTML response to the browser. They cannot be successfully updated clientside as Facebook linter only looks at the response stream.
