The Pub / Re: The Cookie Law (in the UK at least)
« on June 14th, 2012, 06:19 PM »
Setting cookies are no different then RFID's, how is it they are trying to frown on one and not the other. IMHO this law is BS and I still believe if any consent should be done it should be done on the client end and not the server.
We are delivering content, we shouldn't be responsible for figuring out these stupid cookie laws. What we are going to do soon read a 1,000 page manual of all the laws of the internet just to set up a personal webpage. Talk about some real treats to freedom of speech.
What I really hope happen is this law goes down the drain.
So would I like to see it as a software solution? I have to be honest here if a software is built around this then IMHO it isn't worth installing. If a software has this as a portion of it it must be configurable and not interfere with the software if disabled. Mainly this is worthy of a plugin and not a core component.

Figured another way around, just comment out one of my lines
Code: [Select]
Now I am questioning why I put that in there, must be a reason. :hmm:
This code that I already have in the head pulls from the url stored in Aeva if og_url isn't set.
Code: [Select]
Maybe it is old age, but I am only 28. Maybe there is a reason, maybe not, I don't remember. Looking at the code though there is more to the open graph thing, but I can't remember. Like the image part of it is tied into my code, I think, just found it through looking through it.
Code: [Select]
and some of that is tied into my board images hack. O well it works now, I think maybe broke something commenting out my own code. Maybe it is a old remnant of a old way I used to do it.
$context['aeva']['og_url'] = $embed;Now I am questioning why I put that in there, must be a reason. :hmm:

I may as well supply the open graph hack for Aeva if anyone finds it useful.
In Aeva-Embed.php Find
Code: [Select]
Add Before
Code: [Select]
In you index.template.php add this bit to somewhere in the head area.
Code: [Select]
Also you will have to add this bit in your html tag
Code: [Select]
In Aeva-Embed.php Find
// All ampersands need to be &, however some may be already encoded. So to prevent double-encoding, convert them back to &, then back again
$object = str_replace(
array('&', '&', ' ', '&', '<aeva-embed>', '<aeva-link>', '<aeva-title>'),
array('&', '&', ' ', '&', $embed, $input[2], isset($title) ? $title : $input[2]),
$object);
if (strpos($object, '<flashvars>') !== false)
$object = str_replace('<flashvars>', substr(strrchr($embed, '?'), 1), $object);
// Reduce remaining replacements allowed
if ($context['aeva']['remaining'] != -1)
{
$context['aeva']['remaining'] -= 1;
$context['aeva']['remaining_per_page'] -= 1;
}Add Before
$context['aeva']['og_url'] = $embed;In you index.template.php add this bit to somewhere in the head area.
// Open Graph
if (isset($context['item_data']['type']) && $context['item_data']['type'] == 'video' || isset($context['item_data']['type']) && $context['item_data']['type'] == 'embed') {
$og_type = 'video';
$og_extra = isset($context['aeva']['og_url']) ? '<meta property="og:video" content="'.$context['aeva']['og_url'].'">' : '<meta property="og:video" content="'.preg_replace(array('~\[url=([^]]*)][^[]*\[/url]~', '~\[url]([^[]*)\[/url]~'), '$1', $context['item_data']['embed_url']).'">';
}
echo '
<meta property="og:title" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="'.(isset($og_type) ? $og_type : 'website').'"/>';
// <meta property="og:url" content="'.(!empty($context['canonical_url']) ? $context['canonical_url'] : 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']).'"/>
echo '
<meta property="og:image" content="'.$context['rel_image'].'"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Wrestle Topia"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="'.str_replace('"', ' ',$context['meta_description']).'"/>
'.(isset($og_extra) ? $og_extra : '');Also you will have to add this bit in your html tag

Other software / Aeva custom URL's
« on June 8th, 2012, 10:58 PM »
I have a question, I want a certain formatting in Aeva custom sites list but when I do it it doesn't work.
Here is the working.
Code: [Select]
This one doesn't work.
Code: [Select]
I may be missing something, the first one works but I rather have the movie defined as a url and not code because I output these in a open graph hack I made.
No big deal if Aeva wasn't designed to do this, I can just regex the url from the html iframe code. -_-
Here is the working.
$sites[] = array(
'id' => 'ytsp',
'title' => 'YouTube Series & Playlist',
'website' => 'http://www.youtube.com',
'type' => 'custom',
'plugin' => 'other',
'pattern' => 'http://(?:www\.)?youtube\.com/embed/videoseries\?list=([0-9a-z]{18})',
'movie' => '<iframe width="853" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=$2" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>',
);

Can't you have both, you can do slow queries that return no information via JavaScript after the page has loaded. Would that be a good time to do clean up?

Features: Upcoming / Re: Q&A enhancement: multiple answers and multiple languages
« on June 6th, 2012, 12:54 AM »
I haven't used it in a long time, if I recall I don't think it was supported in earlier versions. Maybe wrong but I am pretty sure it wasn't. O'well it is already in there. :eheh:
*edit
I think multiple question support wasn't, maybe that is what I edited in the sources a long time ago. I just did it comma delimited with a explode for multiple answers.

Will there be BBC support in the verification questions?
Sometimes it is nice to add a picture in there and ask a question about it.

Off-topic / Function Time Limit
« on May 29th, 2012, 06:11 AM »
I was wondering is there any way in PHP to set a time limit on a PHP function. Say if the function is not done in a certain amount of time the function execution is cancelled and the function returns nothing.
What I want to do is start a heavy query and if the query doesn't finish in a certain amount of time have the query stop and the function exited.

The Pub / Re: The Cookie Law (in the UK at least)
« on May 25th, 2012, 06:57 PM »
I have been trying to fight my government on some of these ridiculous laws also. However one of the ways to fight them is to help others in other countries fight for their rights too. If you notice one country does it then the others follow, so maybe it is a matter a time til the USA does this. I feel if we can prove some of these laws useless then we might have a fighting chance at stopping them where they started.Quote from markham on May 25th, 2012, 06:34 PM Not blaming anyone here, maybe I came out misunderstood. Our government structures are more than likely different, so don't really know who is responsible for anything over there.
Hey - don't blame us, we didn't invent this law! Blame the EU and in particular the Danish Commissioner who dreamt-up this load of malarkey.Quote from nend on May 25th, 2012, 04:23 PM Yay we are starting to censor communication more and more. I am thinking about writing a letter to your government who set up this law and tell them they are setting a bad example for the rest of the world. This is BS that you all have to code around this just for a few that are tracking users for unjust purposes.

« on May 25th, 2012, 04:23 PM »@Ox - The BBC is using Geo-location to determine whether or not to seek cookie acceptance which better minds than mine reckon is a bit dangerous.
