Added javascript toggle for the edit/create even dialog.


Javascript can be used to access document elements by ID on the client. In this
case we can toggle the visibility of the #editeventform using the css display
property.

Settings can be visible.


Particularly useful for things like web settings for comms path eg phone, email, fx etc. Token is the access id, title is human readable heading (can be internationalised) and description holds the value (again can be different for each language).

Visible Settings

Tuesday, November 30, 2010

Meta data and general settings unified into internationalised event UI

keywords META tag as a setting in the event list



Which means you can edit as any other event and internationalise accordingly.





function getPageMetaHTML($category)
{
$sql='select id from events where token="meta" and fenabled=1 and category="'.$category.'"';
if(($result=getDB()->query($sql))==false)
return "";

if($result->num_rows==0){
if($category!="index"){
return getPageMetaHTML("index");
}else
return "";
}
$res="";
while($r=$result->fetch_assoc()){
getEventLocaleFields(&$r);
$res.='<meta name="'.$r{"title"}.'" content="'.$r{"event"}.'">';
}
return $res;

Using xmonad to control Yoono as a scratchpad


Yoono is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to "Social Networking"
monitoring and configuration with instance messaging on the desktop. Especially
since it works well on Linux too.



That said, like a lot of these kind of tools it can be too in your face. Well,
if you use a decent tiling Windows Manager like xmonad all is instantly
solved. Providing you know some Haskell. chuckle





scratchpads = [

-- run htop in xterm, find it by title, use default floating window placement

-- NS "google-chrome" "google-chrome" (className =? "Google-chrome") nonFloating ,
-- NS "browser" "conkeror" (className =? "Conkeror") nonFloating ,
NS "browser" "iceweasel -new-tab" (className =? "Iceweasel") nonFloating ,
NS "evince" "evince" (className =? "evince") nonFloating ,
NS "yoono" "yoono" (name =? "Yoono") defaultFloating ,
NS "surf" "surf" (className =? "surf") nonFloating ,
NS "emacs" "edit -c" (className =? "Emacs") nonFloating,
NS "unison" "unison-gtk" (className =? "unison-gtk") nonFloating ,
NS "htop" "xterm -name htop -e htop" (title =? "htop")
(customFloating $ W.RationalRect (1/3) (1/8) (2/3) (1/2)) ,
NS "newsbeuter" "xterm -e myrss" (title =? "myrss")
(customFloating $ W.RationalRect (1/2) 0 (1/2) (1/4))

] where name = stringProperty "WM_NAME"





and then in my keyboard hook





,((modMask myConfig .|. shiftMask, xK_y),  namedScratchpadAction scratchpads "yoono")





et Voila. Toggle it via a hotkey.

Enabling/Disabling events for Social Network sharing.


Enabling sharing example.



The create new/edit dialog now includes the ability to toggle event
sharing. This would typically be used to disable sharing for an item which can
not stand on its own such as a list item - some support text to an item that
includes an embedded object like a gcalendar or twitter feed for example. Or
perhaps simply something you dont want shared! Typically used in conjuntion with
the orderby field which is, currently, the only crude way to order things
(outside of caelendar ordering) in an event list in order to ensure certains
items remain at the top or bottom or follow a previous item. Relative ordering
and grouping is in the pipeline - this will facilitate online menu construction
and perhaps photo album management although I am doubtful that anything I
shoehorn in there can in any shape or form approach the functionality provided
by the plethora of existing solutions for photo management. Its what links are
for …



Event In German



As an added bonus it will now also allow you to share in another language. Just
set the language on the web page before sharing and the link back will ensure
that the article/event is in that language when people click back.

Moved from mysql functions mysqli class.


@mysql function calls pretty much deprecated in php. Moved all the code to
mysqli based. Pretty straightforward. e.g



$f=@fopen("authinfo","r",true);
$auth=explode(" ",@fgets($f));
@fclose($f);
setDB($mysqli = new mysqli($auth{3},$auth{0},$auth{1},$auth{2}));
if ($mysqli->connecterror) {
die('Connect Error (' . $mysqli->connecterrno . ') '
. $mysqli->connecterror);

Emacs 23, the emacs daemon and emacsclient


A recent entry to planetemacsen reminded me of a wiki entry added a good while
back which complements, or even supercedes, other methods of starting the emacs
daemon. There are a lot of solutions for running the emacs daemon when not
already running and/or using the emacsclient. I find the following solution
most convenient since there is no need to specifically start the server yourself
at any stage - it makes use of the alternate-editor option. Create a small
script and place it somewhere on your path.





#!/bin/bash
# edit
exec emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c "$@"





The ="" is the key. This tells the emacsclient code to start the daemon and then
call itself if its not already running.



The wiki entry tells you more and describes the use of the EDITOR env variable.

Fuzzy Search In Emacs

fuzzy.el provides a super fuzzy search capacity. Save the code linked below to somewhere on your elisp path, add the two lines below to your .emacs and now C-s (isearch-forward) will become "fuzzy" after the first miss for the item you are searching for. You can customise the "fuzzy" group to change the fuzziness. This module is part of the superb auto-complete suite - recommended.


(require 'fuzzy)

Keep something called shush quiet


Resyncing my little network including the Pub machine, I realised that my ssh logins were too noisy. eg. I would




>ssh $PUB




to see the following unnecessary chatter




Linux thinkpadt60 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Sat Sep 18 02:14:45 UTC 2010 i686

The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the

Last login: Mon Sep 27 19:16:11 2010 from development




The solution is very simple. On the remote machine simply create a .hushlogin file.




>touch ~/.hushlogin




If it doesnt work then check your /etc/login.defs file for the hush settings. Mine are like this:




# If defined, file which inhibits all the usual chatter during the login
# sequence. If a full pathname, then hushed mode will be enabled if the
# user's name or shell are found in the file. If not a full pathname, then
# hushed mode will be enabled if the file exists in the user's home directory.

NoGnus takes Gnus to the next level.

A popular objection to using Gnus was that its IMAP performance was
poor and its article counting simply rubbish. Not any more. Lars has
written pretty much a totally new back end for the imap portion of
gnus. Following an exchange of emails today it now works with my
dovecot set up which uses virtual users on the same dovecot server to
seperate different gmail accounts I sync with my local dovecot using
the excellent offlineimap. e.g The select name is passed as the server
name and each one has a corresponding .authinfo "machine" entry. e.g





(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
`(nnimap "riley"
(nnimap-address "offlineimap")
(nnir-search-engine imap)
(nnimap-stream network)
))

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
`(nnimap "shamrockpub"
(nnimap-address "offlineimap")
(nnir-search-engine imap)
(nnimap-stream network)
))

(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
`(nnimap "friends"
(nnimap-address "offlineimap")
(nnir-search-engine imap)
(nnimap-stream network)
))




riley, friends and shamrockpub all have entries in .authinfo.gpg e.g




machine riley login riley password pass1
machine friends login friends password pass2
machine shamrockpub login shamrockpub password pass3




and these then, in turn, correspond to dovecot virtual users.
Group refresh is almost instant now. And article counts appear to be spot on.
You can grap nognus from here. Be sure to add it to you path and remember you need to




(load "gnus-load")




Grab it while its hot - I'm sure he would sooner get bug reports now
rather than months down the road when his mojo is depleted!

You can get nognus here.

Getting the repaired web server working.


Fun, fun, fun. So following the demise of Hermes I took him into the
local shop for a checkout. The motherboard had gone too. My face
showed my pain. The techy there suggested he could try and dig out a
new main board. a day later I get a call : he's up and running. Ok, a
bit of a Frankenstein but running. Then the fun begins. How tricky
would it be to get Hermes back online, Transfer all the mysql data and
web stuff I had worked on the past few days for some friends?
Surprisingly easy as it turned out. Firtly Hermes nest doesn't have a
monitor or keyboard so I took him over to my main desktop and borrowed
the monitor and keyboard. I booted Hermes into Debian Lenny without a
glitch. Damn no network. I had been expecting that. So




#ifconfig -a




shows me that it was eth2 I needed to configure. Then a quick edit of /etc/network/interfaces as follows




# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth2
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.101
gateway 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1




Oh but wait. Hermes used to be a bind9 dns. It's hell to configure. Error prone and total overkill so ….




#sudo aptitude purge bind9




For my uses /etc/hosts will suffice. The its a case of seeing if we can obtain an ip address




#/etc/init.d/networking restart
#ifconfig -a





Success! So I shutdown Hermes, trundled him back to his nest, minus
keyboard and monitor, plugged him in, turned on the power and shazam!
A fully functional Debian Lenny apache/mysql server is up and
running. Total cost of repait including new second hand mainboard with
associated psul? 60 euro. Bargain.



For the rest of the configuration it was simply a case of using ssh login and scp.

Trying gmap link type


Sebastian rose shows how to use google maps or open maps as link types.



Let see how it renders in a blog?



My Pub





Subject: Yet another way to use maps --- the light way
From: Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de>
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2010 10:17:14 +0200

Hi,

there is a light and easy way to use google and openstreetmap.org maps
if you define them as a custom link type:

(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
'(("gmap"
. "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s")
("omap"
. "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=%s&polygon=1")))

Now
[[gmap:Falkenstr 10, Hannover, Germany][Falkenstraße]]

and
[[omap:Falkenstr 10, Hannover, Germany]]

show a map in your browser. LaTeX and HTML export works out the box
with the advantage, that this export can legally be published on the
internet without any additional action (API license key). Even on
commercial sites, as it's just a link to google. OSM is no problem
anyway.

This way it's possible to show a certain place on earth, but not a track
or route.

There's a (known) bug in the LaTeX eporter:

[[Falkenstraße 10, Hannover, Germany]]

will _not_ work, because the german Umlaut will be distorted somehow
(unless fixed already....)

Sebastian

Gaming Excellence


Every now and again you play a game which makes you sit up and gawk. Uncharted 2, along with Red Dead Redemption, is one such. The attention to detail, the physics, the texures, the sound, the story line and the mind boggingly massive length of the game make this a must have. You can watch a playthrough here. Finishing this game leaves with an aching desire for more. Not one time did I feel "been there done that". Astonishing.

Disaster. It doesn't get worse.

Familiarity breeds contempt. My faithful Debian Lenny web server, git repository, mysql server, irc gateway, ftp server etc etc has exploded. Most importantly is was my LANs DHCP and DNS. What does this mean? It means, and astonishingly, that my main development machine wont even boot into X. Can you believe that? Turning DNS back on on my router confirms that DNS not working on the designated dhcp/dns server actually stops the GLX module loading on my development machine? OK. DNS is back on, courtesy of my router, and this machine is now full res again with the Nvidia drivers correctly loaded. But talk about screwy dependencies.

The server is now at the doctors hopefully getting a new PSU. The outlook is bleak. Oh yes. Contempt? Yup. I hadn't checked the server cron jobs were correctly backing up things like the individial web servers mysql dbs. They weren't. Cron had decided to give up the ghost about a month ago it seems - mea culpa - I need to discipline myself to not trust this stuff as much as I have been.

The feeling of helplessness when booting a trusted debian desktop machine only to get the "X not loaded" BSOD and then having to wait 10 seconds after every bash command because of name resolution issues is really quite accute.

Fingers crossed that Hermes responds to treatment and that the good doctors at Level 1 can graft on a new PSU. It's an old P4 machine. A rock. A workhorse. And broken.

Using the googlecl


http://groups.google.com/group/googlecl-discuss/browse_thread/thread/5bee204f9fe677ca


-----------------


Depends on the task. The "add" task follows quick-add text
rules:
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=36604#text
<http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=36604#text>Setting
reminders is done with the --reminder option.
Dates of events to retrieve from the server (for listing, deleting, etc.)
uses the --date option

In general, if you're having trouble with the usage, check the following
docs:
Manual: http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual
<http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual>FAQ / troubleshooting:
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/FAQ
<http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/FAQ>Configuration file help:
http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ConfigurationOptions

<http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/ConfigurationOptions>For example,
the manual has a section on Calendar, and at the end, a section on how to
use --date.

If anything is unclear or confusing, just let the mailing list know, and
we'll clear it up or fix the docs.

Tags as labels for the blog is a welcome feature.

That's an understatement. Publishing from org to blogger is nearly
transparent and takes only seconds to confirm the information
(e.g. title, labels). It is a treat to use org-googlecl. Thank you
Richard.

Example of providing auto input to a waiting shell process


In this instance pipes "y" to the called process to confirm we want the blog deleted.




(let ((delcommand  (format "yes y | google blogger delete --blog '%s'  --title '%s'"  googlecl-blogname  btitle)))
(message "Delete command is : %s" delcommand)
(call-process-shell-command delcommand))

Now org-googlecl supports deleting of existing entries


If you try to blog a title that exists you can examine it and/or
delete prior to blogging the new version. See link in footer for git
files.





(if googlecl-blog-exists
(with-temp-buffer
(let* ((blogrc (call-process-shell-command (concat "google blogger list --blog '" googlecl-blogname "' --title '" btitle "' url") nil (current-buffer)))
(blogurl (buffer-string)))
(if (not (zerop(length blogurl)))
(progn
(if (y-or-n-p (concat "Blog entry exists :" blogurl ". View existing?"))
(browse-url (nth 0 (org-split-string blogurl))))
(setq blogurl (nth 0 (org-split-string blogurl)))
(if (y-or-n-p "Delete existing blog entry?")
(let ((delcommand (format "yes y | google blogger delete --blog '%s' --title '%s'" googlecl-blogname btitle)))
(message "Delete command is : %s" delcommand)
(call-process-shell-command delcommand))))))))
