I'm trying to create an interactive search engine (for finding event tickets) of which one of its features is a visual map that shows related venues using OpenLayers. I have a plethora of venues (3000+) in a kml file that I would like to selectively show a filtered subsection of. Below is the code I have but when I try to run it has a JavaScript error. Running firebug and chrome developer tools makes me think that it is not getting passed the parameters I give because it says that the variables are null. However, I cannot figure out why they are not getting passed. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
var map, drawControls, selectControl, selectedFeature, select;
$('#kml').load('venuesComplete.kml');
kml=$('#kml').html();
function showVenues(state, city, venue){
filterStrategy = new OpenLayers.Strategy.Filter({});
var kmllayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", {
strategies: [filterStrategy,
new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed()],
protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
url: "venuesComplete.kml",
format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML({
extractStyles: true,
extractAttributes: true
})
})
});
select = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(kmllayer);
kmllayer.events.on({
"featureselected": onFeatureSelect,
"featureunselected": onFeatureUnselect
});
map.addControl(select);
select.activate();
filter = new OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison({
type: OpenLayers.Filter.Comparison.LIKE,
property: "",
value: ""
});
function clearFilter(){
filterStrategy.setFilter(null);
}
function setFilter(property, value){
filter.value = value;
filter.property = property;
filterStrategy.setFilter(filter);
}
var vector_style = new OpenLayers.Style();
if(venue!=""){
setFilter('name', venue);
}else if(city!=""){
setFilter('description', city);
}else if(state!=""){
setFilter('description', state);
}
map.addLayer(kmllayer);
function onPopupClose(evt) {
select.unselectAll();
}
function onFeatureSelect(event) {
var feature = event.feature;
var selectedFeature = feature;
var popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud("chicken",
feature.geometry.getBounds().getCenterLonLat(),
new OpenLayers.Size(100,100),
"<h2>"+feature.attributes.name + "</h2>" + feature.attributes.description +'<br>'+feature.attributes,
null,
true,
onPopupClose
);
document.getElementById('venueName').value=feature.attributes.name;
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML=event.feature.id;
feature.popup = popup;
map.addPopup(popup);
}
function onFeatureUnselect(event) {
var feature = event.feature;
if(feature.popup) {
map.removePopup(feature.popup);
feature.popup.destroy();
delete feature.popup;
}
}
}
function init() {
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map');
var google_map_layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google(
'Google Map Layer',
{type: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID}
);
map.addLayer(google_map_layer);
state="";
state+=document.getElementById('stateProvDesc').value;
city="";
city+=document.getElementById('cityZip').value;
venue="";
venue+=document.getElementById('venueName').value;
showVenues(state,city,'Michie Stadium');
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher({}));
map.zoomToMaxExtent();
}
IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, your kml does not load properly. if this is not the case, please disconsider my answer.
it is very important to check if your kml layer was properly loaded. i have a map that loads multiple dynamic (from php) kml layers and it is not uncommon to have a large layer simply not load. when that happens, the operation is aborted, but, as far as openlayers is concerned, the layer was properly loaded.
so i do 2 things: i check if the amount of loaded data meets the expected number of features in my orginal php kml parser (i use a jquery or ajax call for that) and then, in case there is a discrepancy, i try reloading (since this is a loop, i limit it to 5 attempts, so as not to loop infinitely).

I have viewed all the articles on here, and haven't done any javascript coding in the past. Hoping someone can help me.
I have a class called rank and of course the parse _User class. I have added a pointer to the _User class to the rank class (the column name is called user_rank, which allows me to give a user a rank - seems simple enough.
What I am trying to achieve, is to use Cloud Code to change a user's rank as the administrator of the app (so it's something I do in my admin app, not the user does in their app).
This is what I have, but all I get is an error 101 'Object not found'. I have no doubt I am doing this all wrong, but I have tried to piece together responses from other posts with no success.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Updated code with Davi's change below - now throwing error schema mismatch for _User.user_rank; expected Pointer but got String
Parse.Cloud.define("setUserRank", async (request, response) => {
let { userObjectId, rankObjectId } = request.params;
const userQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
const rankQuery = new Parse.Query('rank');
// Get the user object to change the rank of
try{
let user = await userQuery.get(userObjectId, { useMasterKey: true});
let rank = await rankQuery.get(rankObjectId, { useMasterKey: true});
console.log(user);
console.log("Running");
const rankRelation = user.relation('user_rank');
rankRelation.add(user_rank);
user.save(null, { useMasterKey: true});
return ("User Rank Changed"));
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err.message)
}
});
I think the problem happens because of this line:
const rankQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.rank);
In the case of you custom classes, you need to pass the class name as a string:
const rankQuery = new Parse.Query('rank');
I really love the DropZoneJS component and am currently wrapping it in an EmberJS component (you can see demo here). In any event, the wrapper works just fine but I wanted to listen in on one of Dropzone's events and introspect the file contents (not the meta info like size, lastModified, etc.). The file type I'm dealing with is an XML file and I'd like to look "into" it to validate before sending it.
How can one do that? I would have thought the contents would hang off of the file object that you can pick up on many of the events but unless I'm just missing something obvious, it isn't there. :(
This worked for me:
Dropzone.options.PDFDrop = {
maxFilesize: 10, // Mb
accept: function(file, done) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.addEventListener("loadend", function(event) { console.log(event.target.result);});
reader.readAsText(file);
}
};
could also use reader.reaAsBinaryString() if binary data!
Ok, I've answer my own question and since others appear interested I'll post my answer here. For a working demo of this you can find it here:
https://ui-dropzone.firebaseapp.com/demo-local-data
In the demo I've wrapped the Dropzone component in the EmberJS framework but if you look at the code you'll find it's just Javascript code, nothing much to be afraid of. :)
The things we'll do are:
Get the file before the network request
The key thing we need become familiar with is the HTML5 API. Good news is it is quite simple. Take a look at this code and maybe that's all you need:
/**
* Replaces the XHR's send operation so that the stream can be
* retrieved on the client side instead being sent to the server.
* The function name is a little confusing (other than it replaces the "send"
* from Dropzonejs) because really what it's doing is reading the file and
* NOT sending to the server.
*/
_sendIntercept(file, options={}) {
return new RSVP.Promise((resolve,reject) => {
if(!options.readType) {
const mime = file.type;
const textType = a(_textTypes).any(type => {
const re = new RegExp(type);
return re.test(mime);
});
options.readType = textType ? 'readAsText' : 'readAsDataURL';
}
let reader = new window.FileReader();
reader.onload = () => {
resolve(reader.result);
};
reader.onerror = () => {
reject(reader.result);
};
// run the reader
reader[options.readType](file);
});
},
https://github.com/lifegadget/ui-dropzone/blob/0.7.2/addon/mixins/xhr-intercept.js#L10-L38
The code above returns a Promise which resolves once the file that's been dropped into the browser has been "read" into Javascript. This should be very quick as it's all local (do be aware that if you're downloading really large files you might want to "chunk" it ... that's a more advanced topic).
Hook into Dropzone
Now we need to find somewhere to hook into in Dropzone to read the file contents and stop the network request that we no longer need. Since the HTML5 File API just needs a File object you'll notice that Dropzone provides all sorts of hooks for that.
I decided on the "accept" hook because it would give me the opportunity to download the file and validate all in one go (for me it's mainly about drag and dropping XML's and so the content of the file is a part of the validation process) and crucially it happens before the network request.
Now it's important you realise that we're "replacing" the accept function not listening to the event it fires. If we just listened we would still incur a network request. So to **overload* accept we do something like this:
this.accept = this.localAcceptHandler; // replace "accept" on Dropzone
This will only work if this is the Dropzone object. You can achieve that by:
including it in your init hook function
including it as part of your instantiation (e.g., new Dropzone({accept: {...})
Now we've referred to the "localAcceptHandler", let me introduce it to you:
localAcceptHandler(file, done) {
this._sendIntercept(file).then(result => {
file.contents = result;
if(typeOf(this.localSuccess) === 'function') {
this.localSuccess(file, done);
} else {
done(); // empty done signals success
}
}).catch(result => {
if(typeOf(this.localFailure) === 'function') {
file.contents = result;
this.localFailure(file, done);
} else {
done(`Failed to download file ${file.name}`);
console.warn(file);
}
});
}
https://github.com/lifegadget/ui-dropzone/blob/0.7.2/addon/mixins/xhr-intercept.js#L40-L64
In quick summary it does the following:
read the contents of the file (aka, _sendIntercept)
based on mime type read the file either via readAsText or readAsDataURL
save the file contents to the .contents property of the file
Stop the send
To intercept the sending of the request on the network but still maintain the rest of the workflow we will replace a function called submitRequest. In the Dropzone code this function is a one liner and what I did was replace it with my own one-liner:
this._finished(files,'locally resolved, refer to "contents" property');
https://github.com/lifegadget/ui-dropzone/blob/0.7.2/addon/mixins/xhr-intercept.js#L66-L70
Provide access to retrieved document
The last step is just to ensure that our localAcceptHandler is put in place of the accept routine that dropzone supplies:
https://github.com/lifegadget/ui-dropzone/blob/0.7.2/addon/components/drop-zone.js#L88-L95
using the FileReader() solution is working amazingly good for me:
Dropzone.autoDiscover = false;
var dz = new Dropzone("#demo-upload",{
autoProcessQueue:false,
url:'upload.php'
});
dz.on("drop",function drop(e) {
var files = [];
for (var i = 0; i < e.dataTransfer.files.length; i++) {
files[i] = e.dataTransfer.files[i];
}
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = function(event) {
var line = event.target.result.split('\n');
for ( var i = 0; i < line.length; i++){
console.log(line);
}
};
reader.readAsText(files[files.length-1]);
With Kendo grid batch editing turned on, I know that you can hook into the create, update and destroy commands where Kendo will send 3 separate commands to the server when you click on Save Changes.
I was wondering if there was any way to send all three sets of updates as a single call to the server -like a transaction. Or even send each in a specified order, with a check for success before sending the next .
The only way I could come up with was to have a custom Save Changes implementation which ,when invoked, would lookup the grid datasource to find out all rows that have been added (isNew() for added rows), deleted (_destroyed for deleted rows), updated (isDirty for updated rows) and then craft my own call to a server endpoint using ajax using the identified datasets.
Telerik posted a work-around in their code library recently: http://www.kendoui.com/code-library/mvc/grid/save-all-changes-with-one-request.aspx. Unfortunately the work-around is rather bare-bones. It gives a good example of how to capture destroyed, dirty, and new records but finishes with some hand waving to handle any errors in the response and synchronizing the data source on success. Also note that there is no check to ensure there are destroyed, dirty, or new records before making the ajax request.
Here is the relevant code. Download the full example from the link above to see how the grid is setup and to ensure you have the latest version.
function sendData() {
var grid = $("#Grid").data("kendoGrid"),
parameterMap = grid.dataSource.transport.parameterMap;
//get the new and the updated records
var currentData = grid.dataSource.data();
var updatedRecords = [];
var newRecords = [];
for (var i = 0; i < currentData.length; i++) {
if (currentData[i].isNew()) {
//this record is new
newRecords.push(currentData[i].toJSON());
} else if(currentData[i].dirty) {
updatedRecords.push(currentData[i].toJSON());
}
}
//this records are deleted
var deletedRecords = [];
for (var i = 0; i < grid.dataSource._destroyed.length; i++) {
deletedRecords.push(grid.dataSource._destroyed[i].toJSON());
}
var data = {};
$.extend(data, parameterMap({ updated: updatedRecords }), parameterMap({ deleted: deletedRecords }), parameterMap({ new: newRecords }));
$.ajax({
url: "/Home/UpdateCreateDelete",
data: data,
type: "POST",
error: function () {
//Handle the server errors using the approach from the previous example
},
success: function () {
alert("update on server is completed");
grid.dataSource._destroyed = [];
//refresh the grid - optional
grid.dataSource.read();
}
})
}
Maybe you can enable the batch property of the Datasource
batch Boolean(default: false)
If set to true the data source will batch CRUD operation requests. For example updating two data items would cause one HTTP request instead of two. By default the data source makes a HTTP request for every CRUD operation.

After quite a lot of debugging, I've refined a complicated Managed EWS problem down to the following two simple-ish test cases. The first one works, the second one fails:
var view = new ItemView(100) { PropertySet = new PropertySet { EmailMessageSchema.Id } };
var findResults = ews.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view)
var bindResults = ews.BindToItems(findResults.Select(r => r.Id), new PropertySet { EmailMessageSchema.Sender });
// Sanity check
Assert.AreEqual(1, bindResults.Count());
// The results I care about
Assert.AreEqual("David Seiler", bindResults[0].Sender.Name);
Assert.AreEqual("david.seiler#yahoo.com", bindResults[0].Sender.Address);
One might try to cut out the BindToItems() call, and use FindItems() directly:
var view = new ItemView(100) { PropertySet = new PropertySet { EmailMessageSchema.Sender } };
var findResults = ews.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view)
// This part still works fine
Assert.AreEqual(1, findResults.Count());
// So does this
Assert.AreEqual("David Seiler", findResults[0].Sender.Name);
// ...but this fails! Sender.Address is null
Assert.AreEqual("david.seiler#yahoo.com", findResults[0].Sender.Address);
Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong? It really seems, from the documentation, as though this should work. Not all properties can be read through FindItems(), it's true, but those properties usually throw when I try to access them, and anyway there's a list of those properties on MSDN and Sender isn't on it. What's going on?
Actually I don't know why, but in the second option, it only load basic information of the sender like the name, but not the Address.
If you want to load all the sender properties but do not want to bind the full message you can add the following line before the first assert
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(findResults.Items, new PropertySet(EmailMessageSchema.Sender));
I am building a questionnarie. When a user clicks on an answer possibility for a multiple choice question (this is a radio button), i call an action method to save this answer.
The code:
<script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.MCQRadio').click(function () {
var question_id = $(this).attr('question-id');
var mcq_id = $(this).attr('mcq-id');
$.ajax({
url: '/SaveSurveyAnswers/SaveMCQAnswer',
data: { "mcq_id": mcq_id, "question_id": question_id },
success: function (data) {
}
});
});
});
The code to save the answer:
public EmptyResult SaveMCQAnswer(int mcq_id, int question_id)
{
MCQ_Answers mcqa = null;
try
{
mcqa = db.MCQ_Answers.Single(x => x.question_ID == question_id);
}
catch (InvalidOperationException e)
{
}
if (mcqa != null)
{
mcqa.mcq_id = mcq_id;
}
else
{
MCQ_Answers mcq_answer = new MCQ_Answers()
{
question_ID = question_id,
respondent_id = 1
};
db.MCQ_Answers.AddObject(mcq_answer);
}
db.SaveChanges();
return new EmptyResult();
}
If a question has 5 answer possibilities, and i click on them randomly and fast, and then go back to the previous page, ie, when i return the correct answer wont be saved. Should i use threading to make sure the correct answer is saved? And how?
Thanks
rather than saving your answer by post all the time, you can just create a JSOn object and save the answers within json. you can then at the end post all completed answers in one go.
take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptjunkie/ff962533
basically this will allow you to store session data - json on the remote machine you then just need an add, delete function and away you go....
i use this to huge extent in an application that would require the server to be updated with the location of objects on a canvas, however with sessvars i just keep all the X and Y locations within there and do a final push of JSON when i am done.
if you change pages, you can then get your values from the JSON object without a server call.
as a note you may also be better off with tabs or hiden sections of form, and therfor reduce the need to re-populate say page1, page2 etc as they will already be there, just hidden!
