Details Summary Button Delayed Onclick Tutorial

You might have noticed with yesterday’s Details Summary Button Onclick Primer Tutorial‘s ….

  • details or summary element onclick logic that it relied on an assumption that …
  • the onclick event occurs after a details element attribute “open” is finalized … and though …
  • we “feel” that this might be true … yet, we would rather …
  • not chance it, and make it that the onclick event occurs “delayed” after any details element attribute “open” is finalized … using …
  • that ever useful setTimeout timer function

… but with more nuance than our usual Javascript …


function calledBySetTimeout_nothingPassed() {
console.log('called by setTimeout');
}

setTimeout(calledBySetTimeout_nothingPassed, 3000); // delayed by 3 seconds

… way of doing things, that we seem to use in every second project. Today, with great advice from this very useful link we jump quite a few nuances to more complexity than we had in mind for some future “infilling” blog postings, but the ideas being so cute, we want to drop you users unfamiliar with the joys of the “setTimeout” timer into some quite deeeeeeeeeeep water … with … called …


function makeDelayedHandler(f, time){ // Delay execution of event handler function "f" by "time" ms, thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3048005/document-onclick-settimeout-function-javascript-help

var ev = e || window.event;
setTimeout(function(){
f(ev);
}, time);
};
}

Details Summary Button Onclick Primer Tutorial

We’ve written an external Javascript details_hash.js that …

  • adds button like qualities (ie. onclick logic) to details/summary element combinations that are …
  • preceeded by an “a” tag with # hashtag navigation “href” attribute … and a …

  • real “id” attribute (that, in turn, can be hashtag navigated to) … in which case …
  • dynamic “onclick” logic is added (to details or summary), if none defined already, to hashtag navigate to a good view of this details/summary content (to top of screen, but allowing for “Back to Chat” hashtag navigation, already there, as well)

… uses logic we had yesterday’s Chat No Sockets Chrome Hear It Tutorial web architecture to work from, with testing and which you can try yourself via today’s changed php_listener.php‘s chat web application.

Continuing on with yesterday’s Chat No Sockets Dictation Tutorial start to our …

Google Chrome “Hands Free” Chat dream

… we’ve progressed a little via …

  • localStorage recall of last email or SMS into respective textbox “placeholder” attributes (ie. not all the way to “value” attribute yet) … ready for …
  • new “email” or “sms” Dictation word logic to try to focus to respective (Email “iemail” or SMS “isms”) textbox … triggering ..,.
  • respective (Email “iemail” or SMS “isms”) textbox “placeholder” attribute sets “value” attribute to that localStorage derived setting …
  • dictated “email invite” will send an email invitation via PHP mail rather than the extra interactions of using an “a” “mailto:” email client application link (as you can see with today’s tutorial picture)

Of course there’s more “hands free” (logic) to go, but consider “Hey Siri” or other ways to get to the webpage’s web application, and the dream is gradually becoming a reality.

Chat No Sockets Imagery Tutorial

SMS moved on many years ago from a text based content system onto one that these days allows media sharing, as well, so we should allow for this too, adding onto the functionality of yesterday’s Chat No Sockets SMS Invitation Tutorial.

We wanted to do this by interfacing to an inhouse web application that allows for canvas graphical data creation, and then onto the Chat invitee as imagery (via the [canvas].toDataURL method). For this we decided to interface to the inhouse “Feedback” web application.

At regular intervals we call the “Feedback” web application, flagging it to regularly check for changed canvas data conditions, in which case our parent “Chat” web application table cell like …


<td id=thi style='background-size:contain;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-color:white;'></td>

… is given a background image (later passed onto your Chat collaborator) via Javascript DOM (that is the onload event logic of a child iframe to the parent Chat (PHP) web application) such as


function zcheckitagain(iois) {
if (iois != null) {
var aconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
if (aconto != null) {
if (aconto.document) { aconto = aconto.document; }
if (aconto.body != null) {
if (aconto.body.innerHTML != '') {
if (aconto.body.innerHTML.indexOf('"da' + 'ta:') != -1) {
parent.otherimgdatauri='data:' + aconto.body.innerHTML.split('"da' + 'ta:')[1].split('"')[0];
parent.document.getElementById('thi').style.backgroundImage='URL(' + parent.otherimgdatauri + ')';
} else if (aconto.body.innerHTML.indexOf("'da" + 'ta:') != -1) {
parent.otherimgdatauri='data:' + aconto.body.innerHTML.split("'da" + 'ta:')[1].split("'")[0];
parent.document.getElementById('thi').style.backgroundImage='URL(' + parent.otherimgdatauri + ')';
}
}
}
}
}
}

The changed php_listener.php‘s chat web application “fourth draft” interfacing to the canvas functionality of the “Feedback” web application, and helped out by the changed external Javascript world.js code.

Chat No Sockets SMS Invitation Tutorial

Yesterday’s Chat No Sockets Session Tutorial gives us an opportunity to become more “granular” with our examination of nuances to …

  • the web application’s “surfing the web” look and aesthetics (first look) and usage practicalities (involving button disabling/enabling at appropriate places in the PHP code (writing Javascript logic)) … and … a bit gobsmacking to us …
  • the need to place a two step logic “tidy up” of obsolete files when dealing with SMS Invitations (to Chat)

… the latter being that we discovered that …

  • between the point an inviter opens their SMS Messaging app with a populated message that is the URL our Chat web application wants the inviter to send … and …
  • that inviter typing the carriage return character that “renders” that SMS that is sent to the invitee … but …
  • before the invitee even sees the SMS

… that URL “render” causes an (unexpected to us) real visit of our web server code, and we need to just let the “look of” the “resultant SMS webpage” through at this point, but leave “the implications” for the next time this “SMS webpage” is asked for when the invitee clicks/taps the SMS link they receive from the inviter. The timing of all this is controlled in the logic by the existence of a (what used to be exclusively) “chat_*.line” file, but we now need (to allow for “chat_*.lin2″ then “chat_*.line”) as per …

On clicking the “Invite” button, having filled out the “SMS number” field (rather than the Email one)
function butlogic() {
if (document.getElementById(‘isms’).value.trim() != ”) {
document.getElementById(‘jchild’).src=document.URL.split(‘#’)[0].split(‘?’)[0] + ‘?sid=” . $enduring . “&address=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(‘isms’).value + ‘#’) + ‘&ipaddress=’ + encodeURIComponent(‘” . $sra . “‘) + ‘&ichat=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById(‘ichat’).value);

Back from the “command line” PHP usage of yesterday’s Chat No Sockets Cron Tutorial that day’s thinking about how to improve the “surfing the net” parts of the Chat web application we’re developing got us starting to involve PHP …


Sessions

… and can’t they just be really useful as the identifying methodology to hone in on a webpage session of interest, and exclude all irrelevant others …

<?php

session_start();
$enduring='' . session_id();
if (isset($_GET['sid'])) {
$enduring=str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['sid']));
} else if (isset($_POST['sid'])) {
$enduring=str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['sid']));
}
$dbit=' data-oe="" ';


function server_remote_addr() {
global $enduring;
$rma = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$ua = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
// you can add different browsers with the same way ..
if(preg_match('/(opr)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '000'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(chromium)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '000000'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(chrome)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '00000'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(safari)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '0000'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(opera)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '000'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(msie)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '00'.$rma;
elseif(preg_match('/(mozilla)[ \/]([\w.]+)/', $ua))
$rma = '0'.$rma;
return str_replace(".", "x", str_replace(":", "x", $rma . $enduring));
}

?>

… the only nuance being that iframe children get their session IDs mapped to that of the parent via that “sid” argument above.

And so today’s work represents a “shoring up” day for the basis for a Chat, and a relief that this “better honing” also meant that we no longer needed to tweak those pesky $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’] combinations (a dark art indeed).

So again, feel free to try the changed php_listener.php‘s chat web application “third draft”.

Chat No Sockets Cron Tutorial

Yesterday’s Chat No Sockets Primer Tutorial had a “command line” PHP usage component, we wonder whether you noticed? We intend to keep this arrangement for our “no sockets” Chat web application. It will not function as that “Chat” without the command line part of the “equation” being activated. You might think of it as the “traffic cop” of the web application.

As far as that “command line” PHP usage goes …

  • Isn’t it great to have the one code source for all this?
  • How are we going to manage this command line usage, out of …
    1. interactive in an interactive command line session
    2. set off a background process run of it via the “&” suffix
    3. crontab it (on our Linux web server)

    ?

Suggestion 1 is kludgy, over the top and awkward to arrange for any long period of time, though useful if non-continuous “process coverage” is the go.

Suggestion 2 and 3 are great for “continuous process coverage” (we privately think of as “jigsaw coverage”), but in our books (and the pamphlettes have scarpered it to Pamphlette Island … which they must intend on “founding”?!) crontab is a better option to take for at least two reasons …

  • crontab resurrects itself on a system reboot
  • crontab is self documenting (an important advantage regarding command line processing usage)

… but if we are to use crontab “jigsaw coverage”, to avoid “jigsaw overlap” we’re going to have to change … regarding …

Chat No Sockets Primer Tutorial

We’re starting on a new PHP web application project. We’ve got a “first draft” of a chat web application that does not use sockets, but rather …

  1. invites somebody else (via “Invite” button) via email or SMS
  2. that “somebody else” opens the web application via email or SMS links
  3. from then on keep the chat going via “Send” buttons in the two chat incarnations

It needs more work, that is for sure, but perhaps you want to see php_listener.php‘s chat web application “first draft”.

As with good learning between two parties, each listens, takes it in, and replies, as required.
