  • create an editable grid with multiple records
    • then make it selectable for certain words or submitters
  • output select words into an:
    • eggquiz
    • quizlet
    • wikipage
  • autocomp word entry

there is a book on Ajax in pdf in code

autocompl
have put up autocompl for voacab database in http://pathboston.com/vocab/autocomp
grid
http://pathboston.com/vocab/grid/ has code to get from vocab xml file to web To see the data generated by the server, make a simple call to http://pathboston.com/vocab/grid/grid.php?action=FEED_GRID_PAGE&page=1


quizlet export -> csv2sql ->mysql

http://pathboston.com/ajax/csv2sql.php runs the conversion which gets uploaded through phpmyadmin

visualthesaurus vocgrabber to db

11/19 - vocab from vocabgrabber a javascript that you run with an article open in the browser that you want to grab then you select the words you want and save the list.

javascript:var%20_vgurl='http://www.visualthesaurus.com';%20var%20s=document.createElement('script');s.src=_vgurl+'/vocabgrabber/bookmarklet.js';document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);%20void(0);

http://pathboston.com/vocab/grab/vocabgrab.html goes to the visualthesuarus list page and parses the word and usage into arrays, looks up the definition

web development using ajax

_SESSION variables

The problem with having stuff happen on the server is that it always forgets what is going on from moment to moment. The server waits for a request, it could be from anywhere in the world. It doesn't know you from a whole in the wall. The only thing you can do to be remembered is stick stuff in _SESSION variables.

ajax

Asynchronous Javascript and XML(XSL) is a way to update just the part of a html page that changes instead of redrawing the whole page. AJAX combines languages like html, javascript, php, sql, xml and xsl.

historically

There are a number of mechanisms used to combine them.

  • You call an HTML page and it displays
  • You call an PHP page and it displays
  • You call an HTML page and it calls a PHP page which gets combined and displays
  • You call an HTML or PHP page and it calls a javascript page which gets combined and displays

ajax does all this

  • You call an HTML page that includes a javascript page that responds to events by sending some action to PHP on the server which then instantiates a class and calls class methods some of which access a MYSQL database using SQL and then puts the results in a XML container which gets sent back to the browser then gets interpreted into XHTML by an XSL file and gets injected into some location in the page.

breaking it down

to check what's going on at the server

Send some stuff: http://pathboston.com/vocab/grid2/test/test.php?action=CHANGE_SOURCE&source=NFLhistory and get the XML back.

to check the XSL

Create a file of the XML that will be coming back from the server and then include an XSL file and see how it does.

simple bang bang browser to server to browser to server to browser

Call for data. Select from that data to query <source lang="php"> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> AJAX Grid [bar] [foo] [ant]

xml and db

http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLAndDatabases.htm

What techniques have you tried already? With java, there are 2 main ways of reading XML documents:

1. DOM - Document Object Model interface. This loads the XML document into main memory. With the Document Object Model, you can build documents, navigate their structure, and add, modify, or delete elements and content. Basically the DOM specifies an abstract datatype for XML logical structure. In Java the API for this is known as JAXP

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/...e-summary.html

An example of reading in a doc could be:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers 

  1. public void readDoc() {
  2.   try {
  3.  
  4.    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
  5.    DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
  6.    doc = builder.parse( new File("myXMLFile.xml") );
  7.  
  8.   }
  9.   catch (FactoryConfigurationError fce){
 10.     System.err.println("Could not create DocumentBuilderFactory");
 11.   }
 12.   catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) { 
 13.     System.out.println("Could not locate a JAXP parser"); 
 14.   }
 15.   catch (SAXException se) {
 16.     System.out.println("XML file is not well-formed.");
 17.   }
 18.   catch (IOException ioe) { 
 19.     System.out.println(
 20.     "Due to an IOException, the parser could not read the XML file"
 21.     ); 
 22.   }
 23. }
 24.

doc is the object which holds the xml document in.

obviously you'd need to import all relevant packages etc.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers 

  1.  
  2. import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
  3. import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
  4. import javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError;
  5. import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
  6.  
  7. import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
  8. import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
  9.  
 10. import java.io.File;
 11. import java.io.IOException;
 12.  
 13. import org.w3c.dom.*;
 14.  
 15.

2. The second way in java is to use the SAXP API, which doesn't load the XML file into memory. This is quicker than JAXP, and is useful when you know the structure of the xml file isn't going to change etc.

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/...SAXParser.html

Finally, to send it to mySQL, you need to open a connection String to the mySQL database, and then run whatever queries you want. You can use a system ODBC driver, or Sun's own JDBC driver if you haven't got the first one.

This isn't comprehensive, but should give you enough to start.....

AVR is alternative to PIC

a good tutorial on embedded systems

Google any of these for more info. I have chosen the ATmega168 as the learning IC of choice. Why?
  • 20 MIPs (million instructions per second!) is powerful enough to do some really cool projects
  • It's cheap! $2.13 currently
  • It's got all the goodies under the hood (UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, internal osc, PWM, kitchen sink, etc)
  • 16K of program memory is enough for almost any beginner project
  • The tools are free! (C compilers for many of the other micros cost a lot of money)
  • The programming and debugging tools are low cost ($20 will get you started)

making transparent in gimp

1. open image

2. Right click the image and go to LAYERS then ADD ALPHA CHANNEL. You won't notice anything happening, but don't be concerned. It basically adds a transparent layer at the bottom of your image so when we erase the colors.....it's shows the transparent layer. Which of course would show whatever was under it on the screen.

3. Right click on the image again and go to SELECT and then down to BY COLOR. A window that is all black opens up. Don't change any of the settings....just use the defaults for now.

4. Now click on the color in the image you want to be transparent. These colors will now show up outlined.

5. Right click on the image again and go to EDIT and then down to CLEAR. This should now erase the outlined color you just picked from the image and the "transparent gimp checkerbox" should show through. This is the Gimps way of showing you that section is now transparent.

6. Right click on the image and choose SAVE AS and make sure to save as a GIF file if you want the transparency to work on the web.

embedding video

  1. find the file Sanitizer.php in the folder /includes of your mediawiki installation
  2. find the function removeHTMLtags in that file. below that you’ll find a list of whitelisted HTML tags. add the tag embed to the list.
  3. find the function setupAttributeWhitelist in the same file. several lines below you will find HTML-attributes being whitelisted for each HTML tag. so you add a new line (maybe below the line that defines span):
     ‘embed’ => array( ’style’, ‘id’, ‘type’, ’src’, ‘width’, ‘height’ ),

take care to replace the typographic ‘-quotes by straight ones when doing copy&paste. (wordpress converts the quotes on this blog, so you need to convert them back.)

you’re done. now you can copy the HTML-code provided by google or youtube into your wiki textbox and it’ll work. (make sure to make backups and document so you know what you’ve changed. when upgrading you’ll have to repeat the process. no warranties for possibile security leaks resulting from the hack.)

update april 2007: i just tested, this hack also works with mediawiki 1.9.2, just that you need to add embed to $htmlpairs. (note: in case the embed-code you want to use has the format <embed /> you now have to convert it to <embed> </embed> before posting it to your wiki.) i also would recommend to paste the last line of code near br instead of span (the file has got rearranged a bit).

mediawiki memory problem

php.ini is in public_html, it has to be copied into everywhere that uses php left ini_set commented out in localsettins.php .htaccess php_mem ... didn't work

mediawiki upgrade

http://www.g-loaded.eu/2006/09/05/mediawiki-upgrade-procedure/ easy way:

  • goto maintainance directory and run php dumpBackup.php --current> dumfile.xml
  • on new site install wiki, put dumpfile.xml on its maintenance dir run php importDump.php dumfile.xml

mediawiki css

  • sitewide changes go in Mediawiki:Monobook.css
  • user changes go in User:MrMcKenna/monobook.css
