Firefox extensions: custom autocomplete - firefox

I've found code sample for google autocomplete and created other components for Bing and other search providers, but I can't switch autocompletion. I use following code to change autocompletesearch, but it doesn't work. Component works only if I define autocompletesearch property in XUL.
textbox.setAttribute("autocompletesearch", engine + "-autocomplete");

Worked around that problem by cloning and replacing input field each time I need to change autocomplete source.

ClaimCenter Web PCF files UI Labels

I’m trying to automate building of a mapping document between claimcenter gui through to dB. I’ve made some success in this space using the data dictionary however I’ve become a bit stumped when it gets to getting labels for the UI fields
I’ve been looking at the web pcf files and I can see where labels are mentioned for UI fields, for example
label="DisplayKey.get(" VehicleIncident.Audatex.AudatexLV.AudatexReference ")"
I assume this is making a call someplace to get the description and populate it?
Would anyone know where this might be and perhaps where I should look to next?
In properly configured guidewire studio, those should be properly resolved on CRTL+left mouse button on the label in the DisplayKey.get function call.
If they are not then it is resolving them to
modules\configuration\config\locale\display_en_US.properties
If your locale is different then en_US might be something else.

Angular2 i18n at this point?

We decided to give it a spin and we started fresh project using Angular2. So far so good, but at this point we're facing an issue. At this point, what is the proper approach to i18n for Angular2? We've researched a little and found this:
https://github.com/angular/i18n
However last commit is more than 5 months old... Doesn't look like active development.
Anyone tried using angular-translate or angular-gettext? Or maybe with Angular2 it's better to wrap something JS like i18next? Anyone could share their thoughts? Maybe you faced the same problem?
Plunk was updated to Angular 2 Final: https://plnkr.co/edit/4euRQQ. Things seem to work the same as in RC7.
New i18n section has been added to Angular 2 official docs. Basically, it explains in details what happens in the plunkr above.
XLIFF is the only format for translations, no json support.
A translation source file (xliff, xlf) should be created using ng-xi18n tool:
package.json:
"scripts": {
"i18n": "ng-xi18n",
...
}
and
npm run i18n
See the Merge translation section for details about merging a translation into a component template. It's done using SystemJS Text plug-in.
Another example using Gulp http://www.savethecode.com/angular2-i18n-native-support/
Older staff:
Update based on RC7 and links provided by Herman Fransen:
I've made a minimal Plunkr example: https://plnkr.co/edit/4W3LqZYAJWdHjb4Q5EbM
Comments to plunkr:
bootstrap should provide TRANSLATIONS, TRANSLATIONS_FORMAT, LOCALE_ID with values -> setup translations
translatable items in html-templates should use directive i18n
translations are stored in .xlf file. Ties between languages is done through Id, ties with html by a value of <source> tag in xlf
currently xlf files are not used directly; a .ts file is manually created to wrap the content of xlf in an exportable variable. I guess, this should be working automagically in final release (maybe even now).
This is the first officially documented approach I found.
However, it's still barely usable. I see the following issues in the current implementation:
Language is set at bootstrap, unable to change it in run-time. This should be changed in Final.
Id of a translatable item in xlf is generated SHA. Current way to get this id is a bit messy: you create a new translatable item, use it, copy SHA id from error and paste into your i18n.lang.xlf file.
There is a big documentation pull request concerning i18n
Older staff:
Release notes https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md have a record
i18n: merge translations 7a8ef1e
A big chunk of i18n was introduced in Angular 2 RC5
Unfortunately, still no documentation available.
Everyone's eager for the official implementation, but this one worked for my use case:
https://github.com/ocombe/ng2-translate
README is fairly thorough, and if you need something real particular (for me it was code-splitting) the code itself isn't too long or hard to read.
Support for i18n is now official in Angular 2 RC6

More info how the new concept of i18n works in angular2:
https://lingohub.com/blog/2015/03/angular-2-i18n-update-ng-conf-2015
I found another way to implement this using pipe and service
HTML
<!-- should display 'hola mundo' when translate to Spanish -->
<p>{{ 'hello world' | translate }}</p>
TYPESCRIPT
...
// "this.translate" is our translate service
this.translate.use('es'); // use spanish
...
// should display 'hola mundo' when translated to Spanish
this.translatedText = this.translate.instant('hello world');
...

https://scotch.io/tutorials/simple-language-translation-in-angular-2-part-2
There is an official support for i18n in Angular.io here:
https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/i18n.html
But! As mentioned in docs:
You need to build and deploy a separate version of the application for
each supported language!
That makes this feature useless in most cases ...
Unless you will use it without CLI as described here:
https://devblog.dymel.pl/2016/11/03/angular2-and-i18n-translate-your-app/
I am putting together a POC and the official documentation is cumbersome to say the least, so I tried ngx-translate http://www.ngx-translate.com/ and I literally had the hello world working in a few minutes, there are few caveats:
I've read of people complaining about performance, because of the pipes, but reading the github issues, it seems that it is getting resolved
It is only for i18n or Translations it does not deal with i10n or Localization
There are few warning errors with Angular4 but it works anyways
long story short I liked ngx-translate if you have a small app and only need translation
I personally wanted Localization, so I am looking at
https://github.com/robisim74/angular-l10n
. It looks pretty good, but I haven't tested, so I'll let you know later, or you guys can go and we all try

Kendo UI MVC cant find KendoNotification widget?

Similar to a previous post, but this time Im using MVC and the html helper
Using Kendo.MVC ver# 2015.1.318.545
and script ui library 2013.3.1324
#(Html.Kendo().Notification()
.Name("popupNotification")
)
At run time the above results in this code:
<span id="popupNotification"></span><script>
jQuery(function(){jQuery("#popupNotification").kendoNotification({});});
</script>
, in chrome developer tools, I see an error:
Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(...).kendoNotification is not a function
Its strange that I can put in a datepicker in the same spot, but the notification blows chunks.
[ See reply by user Win below - that was the answer ]
Ideally, you want to use all 3 files (CSS and images too) in same version. Otherwise, they will be out of sync.
Kendo.Mvc.dll
kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js
kendo.all.min.js (this might vary if you use individual widget)
FYI: Also make sure that you use Kendo supported jQuery version. New version requires new jQuery version.

Firefox-Addon: Add search engine with varying URL and suggestions

my Firefox addon shall add a search engine, that
provides suggestions
gets its search template URL specified on runtime (i.e.: template URL depends on the preferences of the user)
And I don't see a way to do both at the same time.
I see two options to add a search engine:
addEngineWithDetails
addEngine
addEngineWithDetails() allows me to add a search engine with the template URL. But it does (apparently?) not allow to provide a suggestions URL.
addEngine() allows me to add a search engine that is specified in an XML file. But if have that file saved locally in my addon directory (e.g. chrome://example-engine/content/search.xml), how can I change the template URL on runtime? And using an online XML is an unsafe options since the internet connection could be broken or bad during the addon install.
First fo all, you're right, addEngineWithDetails does not support suggestions.
The way to go would be to use addEngine (and removeEngine).
As for the "dynamic" part of your question: While I didn't test it, the implementation seems to happily accept data: URIs. So you could:
Construct a data URI using whatever methods you like (even constructing a full XML DOM and serializing it).
Call addEngine with the data URI.
When the user changes a pref, remove the old engine, and construct a new one.

Google static map API getting 403 forbidden when loading from img tag

What I have is a Google map that shows the location of a property but when I come to print the dynamic maps dont print so good so I decided to implement the Google Static Map image API.
http://lpoc.co.uk/properties-for-sale/property/oldgate-dairy-st-james-road-long-sutton-cambridgeshire-pe12/?prop-print=1
^^ is an example of a property in print view and should show a static map image but it fails to load and looking at my inspector I'm getting a 403 Forbiden response for the image.
But if I go to the URL directly the image loads...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Scott
This has gotten quite a lot of views, so I'm adding my solution to the problem here:
When using the new API, make sure you generate a Key for browser apps (with referers) and also make sure the patterns match your URL.
E.g. when requesting from example.com your pattern should be
example.com/*
When you're requesting from www.example.com:
*.example.com/*
So make sure you check whether a subdomain is present and allow both patterns in the developer console.
Visit the Developer Console.
Under API Keys, click the pencil icon to edit.
Under "Key restrictions", ensure that you have an entry for example.com/*, *.example.com/*, and any local testing domains you might want.
There seems to be some confusion here, and since this thread is highly ranked on Google, it seems relevant to clarify.
Google has a couple of different API's to use for their maps service:
Javascript API
The old version of this API was version 2, which required a key. This version is deprecated, and it is recommended to upgrade to the newer version 3. Note that the documentation still states that you need a key for this to function, except if you're using "Google Maps API for Business".
Static Maps API
This is a whole different story. Static maps is a service that does not require any javascript. You simply call an url, and Google will return a maps image, making it possible to insert the URL directly into your <img> tag.
The newest version is version 2, and this requires a key to function because a usage limit is applied.
A key can be requested here:
https://code.google.com/apis/console
And the key should be added to the request for the correct image to be generated:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=New+York,NY&zoom=13&size=600x300&key=API_console_key
I hope this clears up some confusion.
I had this same problem but my solution was different. I had the V2 maps api enabled, but not the static maps api (I thought this was V2). I enabled the static maps api and it worked.
Oops I feel like such an idiot. I was using the old V2 maps API URL and not the new V3 API URL. I was getting a 403 because I was using the V2 URL without providing an API key :(
Be hundred percent sure of these points: (for static maps)
Enable your project at this url :
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/static_maps_backend/overview?project=
You have your localhost, staging and production - all urls with wildcards enabled in the referrer section.
Google has changed its policy and you now need an api key to display maps. refer this for more : Google Maps API without key?
Hope it helps.
Staticmaps V3 doesn't need the "Key" attribute and removing it seems to solve the <img> source problem.
Try with an URL like this:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=0.0000,0.0000&zoom=13&size=200x200&maptype=roadmap&markers=0.0000,0.0000&sensor=false
For more information read this.
Yeah, Google Maps API version 3 were java-script version; "Google Static Maps" latest were 2.0. I suspect there might be some restriction on use.
I could also not display static maps and could see 403 error in the browser's network console.
http response headers:
status:403
x-content-type-options:nosniff
I had an API key with a lot of Google Maps APIs enabled but the Google Static Maps API was missing, enabling it solved the issue.
now you should use 'signature' parameter, which you should add to request - otherwise static maps won't work.
here is few useful links
1) how to generate signature
2) how to make signature on BE side (code snippet)
I am using Wordpress 4.9.4 with ChurchThemes Exodus Theme. I had applied for & generated a New API_KEY.
I confirmed it was being used when calling the map:
Google Map Link
However the Js Console showed the following error:
Google Maps Error in Js Console
As Johnny White mentioned above I had to navigate to the API Library Screen via APIs & Services Menu:
enter image description here
You will be greeted by the API Library screen:
API Library Screen
Click on Maps(17) Lower LHS.
Search for & click Google Static Maps API - Enable it if needed:
Google Static Maps API
You may also need to enable Google Maps Javascript API (same process as for Static Maps:
Google Maps Javascript API
Once that is done your maps should start appearing on your site or app.
If they don't appear on refresh you may need to:
clear your cache (Wordpress or Drupal webistes),
wait the 5 min recommended for the API to Register the enabled API's
Try enabling billing on this Google Cloud Project/Firebase Project.
I was experiencing this same issue and just received the 403 error in the console.
Copying and pasting the Static Maps URL in to the URL bar and loading it showed the following error message:
The Google Maps Platform server rejected your request. You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at
https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started
Hope this helps!
