I have a search form, and I want to create a "Start Over" link that just returns users to the page without any arguments. What Smarty code can I use? For example, if they are at http://website.com/search.php?value1=x&value2=y, I want to get http://website.com/search.php or just search.php, so I can construct <a href='{$string}'>Start Over</a>.
I would just fill a variable in your php that you send to smarty? you could get that in smarty I guess, but that's not really a good way. just do something like this:
$yourSmartyVar->assign("string",$_SERVER[’PHP_SELF’])
That should give you the scriptname without querystring if I remember correctly. If it doesn't you could use $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’] if that suits you better, or even use http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

I have a dropdown of vehicle makes that I want my users to start selecting as they type. First character typed should find the first character in the makes. The problem is that it searches anywhere in the make for a character and does not start at the first character like my users would like. For example... if you type an "r" you get: Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Chevrolet, Chrysler, etc... well before you get a Renault.
I create my list from the database. My haml looks like this:
.field-row
= render partial:'/makes/make_select', locals:{id:'make_id'}
That calls this _make_select.html.haml
= collection_select :vehicle, id, Make.all.order(:name), :id, :name, {prompt:true}, {title:'Select Make', class:'make-select', 'data-allow-empty' => 'no'}
I cant seem to find any docs on Ruby that shows me the valid options for collection_select. Maybe there is an option that allows this?
I have read that I might need to use jQuery to accomplish this. Was just trying to figure out if there might be an easier way with just a simple option in the haml.
Let me know if there is anything else you would like to see.
thanks!
You could add logic to your controller and to check using a SQL query, something like this, depends on the database you're using.
#makes = Make.where('name LIKE ?', "#{params[character]}%")
Check out the MySql docs on pattern matching
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/pattern-matching.html
You should not add your Model query inside a view, should add it.
In your above case, I suggest you use https://github.com/argerim/select2-rails it very powerful and already have what you need.
I am trying to use Jade to do some string interpolation + i18n
I wrote a custom tag
mixin unsubscribe
a(title='unsubscribe_link', href='#{target_address}/',
target='_blank', style='color:#00b2e2;text-decoration:none;')
= __("Click here")
Then I got the following to work
p
| #[+unsubscribe] to unsubscribe
However, in order to support i18n I would also like to wrap the the whole string in a translation block the function is called with __().
But when I wrap the string in a code block it no longer renders the custom tag.
p
| #{__("#[+unsubscribe] to unsubscribe")}
p
= __("#[+unsubscribe] to unsubscribe")
will output literally [+unsubscribe] to unsubscribe. Is there a way to force the returned string from the function?
Edit 1
As has been pointed out, nesting the "Click here" doesn't really make sense, since it will be creating separate strings.
My goal with all this is really to create a simplified text string that can be passed off to a translation service:
So ideally it should be:
"#[+unsubscribe('Click here')] to unsubscribe"
and I would get back
"Klicken Sie #[+unsubscribe hier] um Ihr auszutragen"
My reasoning for this is that because using something like gettext will match by exact strings, I would like to abstract out all the logic behind the tag.
What you really want to achieve is this:
<p>
<a href='the link' title='it should also be translated!'
target='_blank' class='classes are better'>Click here</a> to unsubscribe
</p>
And for some reason you don't want to include tags in the translation. Well, unfortunately separating 'Click here' from 'to unsubscribe' will result in incorrect translations for some languages - the translator needs a context. So it is better to use the tag.
And by the way: things like __('Click here') doesn't allow for different translation of the string based on context. I have no idea what translation tool you're using, but it should definitely use identifiers rather than English texts.
Going back to your original question, I believe you can use parametrized mixin to do it:
mixin unsubscribe(title, target_address, click_here, to_unsubscribe)
a(title=title, href=target_address, target='_blank', style='color:#00b2e2;text-decoration:none;')= click_here
span= to_unsubscribe
This of course will result in additional <span> tag and it still does not solve the real issue (separating "Click here" from "to unsubscribe") and no way to re-order this sentence, but... I guess the only valid option would be to have interpolation built-in into translation engine and writing out unescaped tag. Otherwise you'd need to redesign the page to avoid link inside the sentence.
My current issue is to find HTML-Tags inside of property values. I thought it would be easy to search with a query like /jcr:root/content/xgermany//*[jcr:contains(., '<strong>')] order by #jcr:score
It looks like there is a problem with the chars < and > because this query finds everything which has strong in it's property. It finds <strong>Some Text</strong> but also This is a strong man.
Also the Query Builder API didn't helped me.
Is there a possibility to solve it with a XPath or SQL Query or do I have to iterate through the whole content?
I don't fully understand why it finds This is a strong man as a result for '<strong>', but it sounds like the unexpected behavior comes from the "simple search-engine syntax" for the second argument to jcr:contains(). Apparently the < > are just being ignored as "meaningless" punctuation.
You could try quoting the search term:
/jcr:root/content/xgermany//*[jcr:contains(., '"<strong>"')]
though you may have to tweak that if your whole XPath expression is enclosed in double quotes.
Of course this will not be very robust even if it works, since you're trying to find HTML elements by searching for fixed strings, instead of actually parsing the HTML.
If you have an specific jcr:primaryType and the targeted properties you can do something like this
select * from nt:unstructured where text like '%<strong>%'
I tested it , but you need to know the properties you are intererested in.
This is jcr-sql syntax
Start using predicates like a champ this way all of this will make sense to you!
HTML Encode <strong>
HTML Decimal <strong>
Query builder is your friend:
Predicates: (like a CHAMP!)
path=/content/geometrixx
type=nt:unstructured
property=text
property.operation=like
property.value=%<strong>%
Have go here:
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html?charset=UTF-8&query=path%3D%2Fcontent%2Fgeometrixx%0D%0Atype%3Dnt%3Aunstructured%0D%0Aproperty%3Dtext%0D%0Aproperty.operation%3Dlike%0D%0Aproperty.value%3D%25%3Cstrong%3E%25
Predicates: (like a CHAMP!)
path=/content/geometrixx
type=nt:unstructured
property=text
property.operation=like
property.value=%<strong>%
Have a go here:
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/search/content/querydebug.html?charset=UTF-8&query=path%3D%2Fcontent%2Fgeometrixx%0D%0Atype%3Dnt%3Aunstructured%0D%0Aproperty%3Dtext%0D%0Aproperty.operation%3Dlike%0D%0Aproperty.value%3D%25%26lt%3Bstrong%26gt%3B%25
XPath:
/jcr:root/content/geometrixx//element(*, nt:unstructured)
[
jcr:like(#text, '%<strong>%')
]
SQL2 (already covered... NASTY YUK..)
SELECT * FROM [nt:unstructured] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/geometrixx]) and text like '%<strong>%'
Although I'm sure it's entirely possible with a string of predicates, it's possibly heading down the wrong route. Ideally it would be better to parse the HTML when it is stored or published.
The required information would be stored on simple properties on the node in question. The query will then be a lot simpler with just a property = value query, than lots of overly complex query syntax.
It will probably be faster too.
So if you read in your HTML with something like HTMLClient and then parse it with a OSGI service, that can accurately save these properties for you. Every time the HTML is changed the process would update these properties as necessary. Just some thoughts if your SQL is getting too much.
I am using the page object Gem with Watir. During testing I found that I have a field that has the same contents that show in the same location but have separate unique ID's. The difference is before you get to the page.
I tried using Xpaths:
select_list(:selectionSpecial, :xpath => "//select[#id='t_id9' OR #id='t_id7']")
But was met with a script error.
They are static ID's but I want to force them into one variable since that would allow me to use "populate_page_with" feature.
I have a long winded way currently, but I am fishing for a more efficient way that works with the page object Features.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Your approach of using xpath can work. The problem is the syntax errors in the xpath selector. It should be:
"//select[#id='t_id9' or #id='t_id7']"
Note:
The start should be a // rather than a \
Using or is case-sensitive; it has to be lower case
There was also a missing closing ' for the first id attribute
Personally, I find css and xpath selectors harder to use. I would go with the id locator with a regex. The following gives the same results, but some will find it easier to read.
select_list(:selectionSpecial, :id => /^t_id(7|9)$/)
I originally wrote 800 lines to do this, site by site. However, on talking to a couple of people, it seems like my code is way longer than it needs to be.
So, I've got an idea of what you'd do in Python, with a particular Egg, but I'm working with Ruby. So, does anyone have any idea how to enter details in a form field, based on what the label for it is, rather than the id/name? Using Mechanize.
Let's say your html looks like:
<label>Foo</label>
<input name="foo_field">
You can get the name of the input following a specific label:
name = page.at('label[text()="Foo"] ~ *[name]')[:name]
#=> "foo_field"
and use that to set the form value
form[name] = 'bar'
