/wdg/ - Web Development General

/wdg/ what is your opinion of hamburger menus in desktop sites?

How can I display a table column which basicallh just acts like a row counter (not id) using ng-repeat? I can use $index+1 e.g., but the problem is that there are multiple pages because the table is too long, so when I change a page with angular, $index starts counting from 1 again. Can't use id's because those change, just need a simple row counter that keeps the current position when I switch to another page.

>>55777387
Don't do that if you have enough space and are doing it just for the looks.

A while back I created a wifi hotspot mapper, but I kinda realized it eats data like crazy. The data-payload starts getting in the megabyte range after only about an hour of use. (polling a complete list of wifi hotspots, with detailed info about each hotspot, every 10 seconds, and associating it with your geographical position and time-index)

So today I decided to take the wifi hotspot mapper, and reduce it to a mere geographical position logger. Which logs your position over time. And nothing else.

But now it is pretty light-weight, and can be used to map out my drives. And I like driving around quite a lot, so this is pretty cool for me. I never have to worry about getting lost, or forgetting which way I came, because now I have my own webapp to keep track of it for me, and its light weight enough that I don't have to worry about how much data I'm storing

I can't wait to conduct more drives with my position logger

>>55779158
oh, and I wrote a little something to keep reminding me what my laptop battery level is at. If it doesn't print to console, then i'll forget to check, and my laptop will die on me.

So now I have it printing to console so I'll keep seeing it

Any advice on this use case?

I'm building a fantasy football clone webapp. It will be barebone af, only using openresty+postgres for now + plain html/js/css for frontend, no frameworks.

I have my tables set up e.g, users, players, teams. I have this use case:
players can see any team going to a url like
../team/{team-id} but can only edit a team if it is their own.

1. I guess I need something conditional in my js based on some kind of session information to only add relevant html someone is browsing their own team e.g. can't POST a new lineup from the UI

2. Restrict not to access the API by creating requests with e.g. curl

Is this the right track? Can I achieve this by picking a nginx session module?

>>55779295

<?php
    function renderTeamInformationTable($team){
         /* someone else will have to write this because I don't know shit about sports */
    }
?>
<?php
$user = (isset($_REQUEST['user'])) ? $_REQUEST['user'] : die("need username");
$pass = (isset($_REQUEST['pass'])) ? $_REQUEST['pass'] : die("need password");
$lnk = new mysqli('localhost', 'my_user', 'my_password', 'my_db');
$escaped = (object) [
    "user" => $lnk->real_escape_string($user),
    "pass" => $lnk->real_escape_string($pass)
];
$resultUser = $lnk->query('SELECT * FROM `fantasy_users` WHERE `username` = "'.$escaped->user.'" AND `pass` = PASSWORD("'.$escaped->pass.'");')->fetch_object();

if ($resultUser){
   $_SESSION['authenticated'] = true;
   $_SESSION['user'] = $resultUser;
   if ($resultUser->{'teams'}){
       foreach($resultUser->{'teams'} as $team){
            renderTeamInformationTable($team);
       }
   }
}
else {
   $_SESSION['authenticated'] = false;
}
?>

>>55779295
or you can just use openresty or whatever (i'm not familiar with this technology).

- The basic idea is just to require a user to authenticate themselves
- associate user data with a session/cookie/token
- somewhere associated with the user needs to be an array of names of all the teams they are a part of.

Then you show the data/markup for each team.

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

DO NOT think of it as "having all the teams, hiding the ones that are not relevant to this user"

DO think of it as "having a user, showing all teams relevant to the user"

Really? The uni i'm going to is pretty good and they have really good technologies, the teachers seem to be very good and well informed.

>>55779492
STOP. Go fucking learn how to use PDO instead of mysqli. It'll only take you two hours.

Secondly, define your connection data somewhere else then include it. That way when you make the switch from development to a production server and you need to change the password/user you only have to do it once.

Third, you don't need to section off your code into multiple <?php tags. Use one tag and if you have nothing but PHP in that file you do not include a closing ?> tag.

PHP hate aside, is Drupal still the best free CMS for developing sites?

The custom post types of Wordpress look incredibly limited and I'm unfamiliar with other systems.

Without writing code, can another CMS provide:
>Custom image cropping selection for users
>Youtube parsing
>Automatic geocoding and mapping layer
>Apache Solr integration for granular search
>Complete control over custom data types and fields

>>55784624
>>55784648
im looking through them currently, and w3 is in the learning material anon. shouldn't OP take it out?

Fuck django-formtools, I can see why it's no longer part of the core library

>>55784663
Fuck, you're right. The idiot even copied only the YT titles. This is what happens when you let a faggot create the thread.

>>55784663
>>55784681
I made a new OP like a month ago with updated links, but some fuckass keeps using the old version

>>55784650
No, Drupal is a bloated piece of shit. Wordpress isn't limited at all.

If you HAD to choose one, React or Angular2? Angular1 is not an option due to the inevitability that support drops for it completely sooner than 2

For a non-real time app that deals with user submissions and relies on geospatial data, should I use PHP (easy and fast) or Node.js (What DB? Mongo? Redis?)

>>55784766
I've developed custom Wordpress theme so I know a little about it. I don't care if it's "bloated" (which usually just means flexible), I care about how long it takes me to develop the website.

If Wordpress isn't limited, how would you (for example) add a custom field which is an image (restricted to JPG/PNG less than 400KB), which lets the user dynamically crop it on screen, and then you create a thumbnail scaling on the x axis. All without writing any code.

If it can't do that, it's limited in comparison to Drupal.

>>55784792
React, but neither is an awful option.

Is it worth switching to Angular or React from jQuery?

>>55784806
Without writing code? Use the ACF plugin.

>>55784829
pretty sure they go hand in hand, I know that angular at least requires jQuery (an older version though, 2)

>>55784720
post it
I'll make the next thread with it if I'm here

>>55784804
Why does everyone jump to meme databases like Mongo?

Just use a proper ACID database like Postgres. I think people underestimate how much data and speed you can get out of a standard Relational Database. Without the limitations.

As for language, whichever you're familiar with. If you don't know anything, I'd pick Scala.

>>55784839
Doesn't offer cropping

>>55784853
>Why does everyone jump to meme databases like Mongo?
Same reason people jump to meme frameworks.

>>55784829
totally dfifferent things, with completly different objectives
>>55784846
>I know that angular at least requires jQuery (an older version though, 2)
wrong on all levels, uyou are probably thinking about the bootstrap js/extensions which requires jquery (there are native angular syntax only "ports" though, angular-ui-bootstrap so that you dont mneed to include jquery on a angular project just because of bootstrap)

>>55784885
So you little want to do 0% amount of coding? It's called Web Development for a reason.

>>55784911
I was just curious what other powerful CMS systems there are.

I don't mind coding, but I don't wish to spend 20 days developing a site in a CMS when another could do it in 10.

>>55784829
All three of those things are completely different. Angular is an MVC framework, React is just the V, and jQuery is a common general purpose library.

>>55784847
It's on my other PC, but I'll reply to this post with it later when I get a chance later if I don't forget.

>>55784853
Mongo is popular because they market the MEME stack bullshit to noobs and then they enter the workforce thinking it's a real database.

>>55784650
Drupal is good if you want more than a blogging platform where users can register and post content themselves.

Like >>55784766 said, it's slow compared to WP, this is where cache comes into play and can make it as fast as WP and offer a lot more in terms of customization.

Use Drupal 8 if you're going to use it.

>>55784977
Wordpress has a cache too though.

>>55785017
Sure, but once you're serving cached pages it doesn't matter which backend you're using and should use the one that suits your site the best.

What's /wdg/s preferred method?

Say we were to build a login system. How would /wdg/ go about it? I know there's no right or wrong here. I've done this before but I'm interested in other peoples views.

Server side languages like PHP, etc offer session functionality. I understand when creating a PHP session you are telling PHP to store a cookie in the users browser, it would use the value of that cookie to relate to some data stored on the server, these being the session variables you created.

On the other hand, you might prefer to skip PHP sessions and create your own method of keeping track of login session. Say you generated an access token, a random string of characters, etc. Then storing this in a data base, and then setting it as a cookie in the users browser, however you wanna do it, hashed, etc, so long as the server can read that cookie and relate it to a an access token value in the database that relates to a user.

What are the advantages and disadvantages in your opinions of using either methods.

>>55785204
I've written custom systems with PHP, and just used the phpass library for hashing passwords in the db (bcrypt implementation) and PHP Sessions.

>create your own method
Only if you know what you're doing. Read this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/549/the-definitive-guide-to-form-based-website-authentication

>>55785204
my preferred method? use a framework with login and auth api because there's no point in doing that yourself in this day and age

>>55785307
>phpass library for hashing passwords in the db (bcrypt implementation)
What's the point of this when password_hash() exists?

why the fuck is stroking 20 circles in a canvas slower than filling hundreds?

God I hate Cloudflare. It's timing out again, when using the IP loads the page just fine. Wish there was some better free solution.

>>55785448
password_hash only existed since PHP 5.5, I was making sites before that.

>>55784804
Use postgres. You can store objects as Json blobs and write sql queries against said blobs. No need for meemgodb or cache storing shit in redis

>>55777400
Use react. Ng wasn't meant for large scale data.

I can't be bothered to find it but there was a guy who glued react together with ng so that you could render massive amounts of data real quick, while still keeping ng in the loop. Could always try that

>>55783369
This
I would rather a degree to show off to employers.
I'm still not 100% on the course or whether I should do networking and just get a job building and maintain a network.
I can change if I realise in the first term that I dont enjoy the course.

>>55785204

using a nodejs server I would use passport + restify for the backend

front end, would use angular 2, or react + fetch and a css library like bootstrap or basscss

>>55785667
Thing is that this is a project from a place I intern in and I can't control it. I know it's deprecated and the amount of bloat is amazing. Literally everything that could be made with angular was made with it, even css bootstrap has some angular framework on top of it.

>>55785758
You could try to find work WHILE working on the degree. I'm actually planning to finish up my degree this next year after taking a 2 year break. I've been freelancing off and on the past year and a half, so I'm just going to continue doing that while taking courses.

>>55787070

>>55787697
If you're just learning I'd go with Rails. There are a lot of Rails jobs, there's a lot more documentation, third party packages exist for almost everything, and Rails is a huge inspiration on Phoenix. Several of the Phoenix developers are also Rails core developers.

I know both and I'd still use Rails in most cases because the community is so much bigger and it's still much faster than anything at getting a website up and running and features implemented.

If you're already experienced at web development, are just doing it for fun and don't mind reimplementing a lot Phoenix is a good choice.

>>55784650
Developing on WP is very basic- there is usually way to add needed functionality but anything advanced will quickly become very complicated and hackish. Also very bad codebase.
Drupal is very powerful and good code but you are expected to adapt Drupals way of thinking what usually means plugin for everything, a lot of configuring in admin and learning million different APIs.

>>55784911
In Drupal you are expted to install plugin and configure needed functionality out of it. Good if you are beginner or nonprogrammer.

>>55787860
oh I hate kebab menus

hamburger and bento are okay, though I agree with the anon that said just having the text is best option.

Will an app using the node.js built in http module hold up under low-mid usage on its own? Or should I definitely always put it behind nginx or something?

>>55788264
What do you consider low-mid usage? In general, people stress way too much about server side performance when it will never, ever be an issue for 99.9% of all websites. I have a $5/month server on Digital Ocean running an RoR app that regularly needs to handle about 1,500 requests per second with no caching and I've never had a problem with it.

I'd always serve the static assets with nginx or put them on a CDN though.

>>55787860
>Double Hamburger

Stay classy, America.

>>55788380
I guess what I wanted to know was how much usage can a minimally built node server take before I seriously need to start dealing with caching and whatnot, but based on your numbers it sounds like I should be fine.

Octopress won't run on Github like Jekyll does, so you have to push the HTML output to your gh-pages branch or github.io repo

So do you guys consider frontend easy or not?

I realized I actually don't know shit about backend, even though I had classes in databases and backend languages, because I never really practiced it. Everything now seems overwhelming about it.

Everything I did with frontend wasn't really hard to do (and if it was, it was because I was just stupid), it was just annoying. I see that backend guys can usually do frontend too, except they are not that good with html+css specifics and definitely bad at design.

>>55796490
Ok, first figure out what the heck are you even doing. Second WP has shortcode API.

How important is using a virtualized environment with automation?

Like Vagrant/Docker + Puppet/Chef/Ansible?

At my start up (four devs), even though we're using different environment, we just stage our commits to a test server to make sure it runs in production.

Never had a problem with incompatibility. Our VMs overkill for our size?

>>55796460
It's extremely difficult. It's better to work at a 9-to-5 for a few years to gain experience and contacts, then go freelance. If you don't know anybody, basically you need to get yourself out there.

Find businesses with shitty or nonexistent websites and convince them that upgrading will make them more money. Knock on doors, make phone calls, go to business meetups, whatever you have to do to get in front of business owners.

Most of all, be aware that business owners talk to each other, especially in small towns. If you impress them with your work, and generally seem like you know what you're doing and can communicate well, they'll be telling their buddies all about it next golf game or at $localUpperMiddleClassOldWhiteGuyPub, some of which will contact you for more work.

Overall, it's important to know that freelance dev is essentially a sales job where you occasionally do some coding. It's usually made out to be a good NEET job, but you really need to be a "people-person" to make it.

>>55796921
>Never had a problem with incompatibility.
Yet.

>VMs overkill for our size?
Imho, if you're doing a project with any kind of backend whatsoever you should be using docker or a vm, especially if you're devving on your own laptop. Frontend-only, the benefits are negligible. I always use docker even for my own solo stuff, just because it keeps things nicely organized.

Also, presumably your startup is planning on growing at some point, right? The likelihood that you're going to run into some 'works on my machine' issues increases exponentially the more machines there are. Containerizing and micro-servicing everything has its benefits.

>pass the function in window.onload
>innerhtml text undefined (while it should be loaded at that point, since the function is called after everything is loaded)
>pass the function in settimeout
>innerhtml text is loaded

What is this shit? So during those few seconds that text inside of a tag is loaded, but it is still not there on window.onload.

>>55791477
yeah in 1995 maybe

Now it would be like learning to ride a mutant 6-headed horse because youre just a beginner driver of cars.

>>55797320
>innerhtml
That's innerHTML. Could be your source of problems.

>>55797198

I actually use vagrant myself because I don't like all these projects clogging up my personal space.

But it's got a yuge overhead. If your platform has several services running at once, you'll need multiple VMs up, which isn't going to go well on a laptop. Which is why I can only work on one service at a time (e.g. the API, mobile app, analytics...)

Docker seems more lightweight, but can it solve the problem of everyone having an identical environment? From what I understand it uses some of the resources from the host OS...

>>55797320
So youre a vanilla javascript cuckold fetishist and you think you mght have been memed. Well I can't ay its an uncommon story...

document.onload is what you want

but

window.onload is more widely supported

this is why you use jquery because $( document ).ready() just fucking werks. Don't get memed again, use jquery.

>>55797479
>use jquery
Nice meme!

>>55797479
>>55797462
No, you didn't understand. I didn't pay attention now in correct spelling of functions, but I don't have a problem with syntax and I also tried all vanilla JS and jQ on load functions but it still doesn't work.

It's like that text inside a tag isn't loaded yet, even though it is showed on a page, but after a few seconds I can get it without problems.

>If your platform has several services running at once, you'll need multiple VMs up, which isn't going to go well on a laptop. Which is why I can only work on one service at a time

Unless you're running on an old as dirt laptop or are allocating a ton of memory to each VM, you should generally be able to do more than one at a time. My old windows 7 laptop with 4GB RAM can run 3-ish ubuntu VMs (512MB RAM each) before it starts to be a problem. The same laptop can run probably a dozen docker containers though. (Obviously it all depends heavily on what you're doing).

>can it solve the problem of everyone having an identical environment?
That's pretty much the point...

>From what I understand it uses some of the resources from the host OS

Not to my knowledge. The way docker manages to be super lightweight is that if multiple containers are all based on an ubuntu image, for example, they'll all use the same ubuntu base image instead of a completely separate os instance for each container. It's all just as detached from the host machine as a regular VM is though.

>>55794116
Everything is doable if you put in some effort.
Front end is easier to get into, but still very difficult to master (as seen by all of these shit designs, shit functionality, etc). Back end is harder to get into, but easier to master imo.
It's all just about what you enjoy doing more, as that leads to curiosity which leads to mastery.

That being said, both the front end and back end suffer from a whole giant group of fucking frauds giving shit advice.

I was just reading some VPS tutorials and I noticed that usually very few things are suggested to secure your server.
Change your passwords, set SSH, fail2ban and maybe a firewall. But that's pretty much it.

Is Debian and Ubuntu secure that way? Should file permissions also be checked by default?

>>55798017
You are assumed to not be a retard and run things as root. Generally, even fail2ban is excessive. Simply setting SSH to only accept keys is enough for mostly anything.

>>55797463
>>55797810
>From what I understand it uses some of the resources from the host OS

In very broad terms, this is true, but not in any way that matters. Docker containers use the host OS's kernal, but supply their own bins and libs. They aren't exactly the same as full hardware virtualization with a VM, but an app inside a container can't get escape or anything. (If you found a way to do that, some people at Docker would be very interested and possibly have a comically large check to give you)

When running Docker on a non-linux machine, I believe it actually just runs inside a VM anyway, although I could be wrong on that.

>>55798099
Alright. Sounds good. So things are fairly secure by default.

>>55798168
Yes. I mean, you're still putting in some effort so it's not like you're just pressing a button and everything is in tip top shape, but yeah by default you are on the safer side.

best way to learn html/css/js?

>>55795408

In JS, how do I automatically round up to two decimals the values of my floats?

For example:

I can't believe what a nightmare mysql is. I keep getting an error related to a socket and there's apparently bazillion different things that can cause it. People say it's easy to digure out via error files, but my mysql error log is simply EMPTY.

What a fucking mess. I can't believe s.t. like this is going to force me back to shared webhosting.

Real life design question:

I want each user registering to my website to be part of a group.

How should the sign up process work?

So far I'm thinking...

Step 1: create a group

/api/group/new

Step 2: add user to group

/api/group/id/user/new

Step 3: make this user admin and lock it

From here all other users must be invited.

Any alternatives/caveats?

>>55801517
Aka you got shitty vps you dont know how to configure.

>>55801656
You should have install script that would create first user and group for you.

>>55784853
Relational SQL DDBB all the way. 45 years of try and tested tech don't go away just like that.

>>55801656
I think user creation should come first, and then force them to create/join a group before advancing any further.

Don't tightly couple user existence on group membership. You never know what changes you'll make in the future that this sort of structure could negatively affect.

>>55784853
This unless you have a real reason to use Mongo or NoSQL, spoiler you don't, you should use MySQL or Postgres. Oracle if you absolutely need muh enterprise.

>>55801916
Pretty much.

So I played around with the path to the mysql socket file just to test things.

Then I read that you canjust search of rall the socket files on the server. SO I did that.

It found the gibberish path I entered in the mysql conf socket variable, and a bunch of other sockets. There's no real mysql socket file though.
I chaned the path back to what it was before. Now it complains the socket is missing EVEN WHEN I WANT TO RESTART MYSQL.

This shit is cursed.

I want a line of code that will dynamically select an element from a form on error.

The form can be ANY form.
I have the form ID. I know nothing about the element other than its type.

What is wrong with this line of code:

alert(jq(parentForm).find(":input:submit").id);

also, I'm using a jquery .submit(), and for testing, there's an alert. Why is it on failed submits, every subsequent submit alerts +1 times?

jq(document).on("click", function(event){
            var currItem = event.target;
            if(jq(currItem).attr("data-change-content")  != "undefined"){
                //alert(jq(currItem).attr("data-change-content"));
                switch(jq(currItem).attr("data-change-content")){
                    case "change_stylesheet":
                        break;
                    case "change_display":
                        if(jq(currItem).attr("data-toggle-this") != "undefined"){
                            //alert("Will toggle: "+jq(currItem).attr("data-toggle-this"));
                            jq(jq(currItem).attr("data-toggle-this")).slideToggle("slow", "swing");
                        }
                        if(jq(currItem).attr("data-hide-this") != "undefined"){
                            //alert("Will hide: "+jq(currItem).attr("data-hide-this"));
                            jq(jq(currItem).attr("data-hide-this")).slideUp("slow", "swing");
                        }
                        break;
                    case "ajax":
                        //preventDefault();
                        //alert("AJAXes soemthing");
                        var parentForm = jq(currItem).attr("data-ajax-this");
                        alert("This AJAXes: "+parentForm);
                        jq(parentForm).submit(function(event){
                            event.preventDefault();
                            //alert("submitted at: " + event.typeof);
                            alert(jq(parentForm).find(":input:submit").id);
                        })
                        break;
                    default:
                        //do nothing;
                        //alert("nothing");
                }
            }else{
                //alert("Does not change anything");
            }

For reference, I wanted to automatically focus on the submit button for testing purposes, but I noticed I couldn't.
apparently, the id is undefined (it's not. in this case, it was loginSubmitBtn).
However, on alerting, every subsequent submit pops THAT alert up +1 times. Why?

Could we actually make a MEME stack?

They have different purposes.

React and the V in MVC. It's just a front-end framework.

Angular is a JavaScript application framework which I would stay the fuck away from. The added complexity has nothing little to show for itself. It's also slow as hell if you're doing anything serious with it.

Go with React and use something like BackBone if you really need a JS framework.

Anyone have any ideas for simulating a line of tape memory?

I'm trying to make a visual indicator for what's going on in memory (in this case, literally just an array that can loop around itself to represent memory tape) as a program runs, but I can't seem to figure out a good looking and clear way to display exactly in which direction the tape is going.

Pic related is what I thought might work, but even with sizing each cell differently it's a little too hard to tell what direction the "tape" is moving in.

>>55803537
Are you trying to accurately represent reading and writing to tape memory? Or are you just doing it as a loading icon or something? If the latter, just make a gif or css animation for each animation you want to display, and show it at the appropriate time.

>>55803699
The former - it's meant to be a visual representation to help with understanding (and potentially debugging, I guess) what goes on in "memory" as a brainfuck program runs through my interpreter.

I'm using nw js for a projet, which is quite complex but to cut it short I need to be able to display an HTML page (so graphists / designers can easily modify it) with some videos animations etc... and link all that to physical sensors.
Problem is there's no official support for javascript for these, and the node.js module I found on github doesn't work well with the specific hardware I need to use.
Fully supported languages are C/c++ java c# python ruby and a couple of others I'd rather not use. I though about making a node.js module in C/C++ to use the maker's libraries to use it but I have no idea if that'd really work for 'real time" communication.
The hardware is there to act as buttons / shit like that so it needs to be reactive, and I don't know how to communicate very small amounts of data in a very reactive way from thoses languages to something that you could run easily on node.js

help?

What kind of sensors? If they're some kind of IoT thing, often they have a REST API of some kind you can interact with.

>>55814548
right now it's phidgets RFID sensors, mostly because that's what was used on the older project.
there's no official support for phidgets on JS though, complete list of supported languages are here:

it's not really IoT, nothing's gonna be over network, it's just that graphists/ designers / whatever are going to have to change the visual aspect of this and the easiest way of doing it without redoing all the code behind it seemed to be html, with a webapp or something around it

https://www.npmjs.com/package/phidgets
Is this the npm module you tried? Looks like it should work, but I can't really say without knowing the specific setup.

If that doesn't work, You'd probably have to either write it with C/C++. ('real time' shouldn't be a problem) or find a REST API for it and talk to it though that.

>>55814754
Github pages officially supports Jekyll.

>>55814867
yeah it's that one and it doesn't work with multiple RFID readers, somehow it treats them all as one even though they have different serial numbers (when one reads a tag, the js will be notified that all readers detected it).

my problem with doing it in C(++) is how to communicate between the two parts of it, the webpage and the C(++) code. I checked out C++ modules for node.js but I'm not sure you can have then send events when they see a change in the tags.
as for the REST API, phidgets isn't well documented so I didn't find much


actually your answer just made me think of something
I know you can return something at the end of your C++ module function for node.js, and I only need the two to communicate when it needs to change page so I guess that could work
(the project is a huge blank book, rfid tags to detect page positions, video projector to display content on the pages, change page when a physical page is turned)

This isn't really web-dev stuff, but I hope you guys can help me out with this. I edited a back-up script I found online but I'm not really sure if it's gonna work.

Should I have that gapps.prop file, or will it be created by the script itself?

Should I use

#!/sbin/sh
# 
# /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh
#
. /tmp/backuptool.functions

list_files() {
cat <<EOF

Just look up free use patterns on Google. You can then spend like 2 minutes in Photoshop and apply a quick color filter or some shit.
The only problem you might have is coming across possible shit compressed/artifacted images that will look like shit when blown up to size.

Is this:

var Cock = function(width, length) {
    this.width = width;
    this.length = length;
}

Cock.prototype = {
    constructor: Cock,
    method1: function() {
        return 1
    },
    method2: function() {
        return 2
    },
    // etc
}

the same as:

var Cock = function(width, length) {
    this.width = width;
    this.length = length;
}

Cock.prototype.method1 = function() {
    return 1
}

Cock.prototype.method2 = function() {
    return 2
}
// etc

? The first is easier to write but the problem is overriding the default object's prototype, would specifying Cock in prototype.constructor handle that?

>>55816246

Yes.

>>55816849
Its a meme and the only people who use it are those doing tutorials for the MEAN stack, which is a product of the MongoDB marketing rather than anything anyone uses for production. There are better noSQL databases out there like CouchDB and RethinkDB.

>>55817158
RethinkDB looks good.

Try Typescript then.
Anyway, you should just suck it up and start using it because that's what the standard is going at right now.

I am taking over the running of a company, and their old website (wordpress) has google analytics code in it, how do I access the information?

>>55820130
login into their analytics page on their google account.

>>55820166

That is going to be an issue, I don't even know if they have one. If they have the analytics code in the html, but they never set up a google account to link it too, will it not have collected any info?

>>55820243
you get a code to copy into the page, you can only get it with logging into the account on the analytics page and setting up the site.

what did they put in? someone elses code?

>>55820271

I am taking over from people who have now left and are difficult to get a hold of, all I have is the wordpress login and thats prettymuch it.

>>55820368
ask the company for the account. if they don't have it then those who left are still in control of it and can do whatever they want with it.
escalate this issue to your manager.

>>55820402

I am the manager now, we have taken over the company, it was only a 3 man business before.

I was hoping that I could enter the code from the HTML somewhere and do a "I forgot my username" and work from there.

There are no records or anything, its a mess.

>>55820448
no, you can't.
what an awful thing that would be. You could look up everyones email address by knowing their analytics code.

consider suing the guys who left.

Where can I host free dynamic websites for portfolio purposes?

>>55823513
Depends on what you mean by 'dynamic'. You can host static sites with as much javascript as your little heart desires for free on github pages, and if you need a backend, you can host that somewhere else.

You can get a shared hosting server with LAMP stack and CGI for like $10/yr.

If you want to use something like node or go, there are options like heroku and openshift that have a limited free tier. AWS has a 1 year free trial.

Most useful is probably a digitalocean VPS where you can run whatever you want for like $5/month

Beyond that, you can check the stuff in the OP, but some of it might be outdated.

>>55823686
>LAMP stack and CGI for like $10/yr
LOL wat? I'm paying Namecheap $50 a year for hosting + domain and until now I thought that was dirt cheap...

Common reasons why a php file isn't getting what it needs from post? I made one pair of HTML and PHP pages, and the one gets data from the other totally fine, but I copied and pasted those, renamed them and changed some stuff up, and now Im getting errors from the PHP getting dick all from the HTML. Tested out what its doing with the data by coding it in manually, and that worked fine.

Im a total noob with this stuff, if you couldn't tell.

>>55826029
we can't tell you what you fucked up in your code if you don't post it you fucking idiot

do you expect us to guess what you wrote?

>>55826029
Look at the request and make sure it's actually sending the data you want in the first place.

>>55825699
$10-$15/year is enough for a cheap VPS + domain.

>>55826029
If it were me I'd check that I targeted the right php file and didn't forget any to put quotes in all the appropriate places.

I know this is more about math than programming but I am trying to convert a value exponentially in js, for example I have a value from 0 to 1 and I want from 0 to 0.25 to receive 0 to 0.5 values and from 0.25 to 1 to receive 0.5 to 1 values what could I use to do this

So, I went through a Thinkster guide to React. Now what lol? It was same when I learned Angular, I can't make anything useful just with a frontend framework.

It's good to have it on a resume, right?

Should I learn React native? I didn't even know that React could be used for mobile applications, that's kinda cool.

I think I should start learning Node.

Is there a way to program websites in Python without knowing CSS? CSS is fucking garbage

>>55828448
Just learn it or at least know the basics and use one of those bloat CSS frameworks.

How do I get a datalist's option to return an id of an item in the database instead of the whole name? The value shows the name, but I want the ID to be handled in the back-end and the names of the items to be shown on the interface. Is there a way around this or not?

>>55829027
Here is what I have:

<input list="gamelist" placeholder="Type in game name" name="gamename" required />
    <datalist id="gamelist">
<?php
        foreach(main::dbq()->query('SELECT * FROM `gamedb`') as $row) {
            echo "<option value=\"".trim($row['gname'])."\" data-coll=\"".$row['id']."\"></option>";
        }                                                                                                                            
?>
</datalist><br />

This gives me a gamename of the game's name and not its ID. But having the ID in the value does not show the game's name in the dropdown that datalist has. Any idea what I can do?

If I remember correctly, there used to be a lot of sites that sold wordpress themes and I remember seeing people sell UI alongside with their graphics. I'm not sure if it was just the graphics they sold or both the code and the graphics.

another total retard noobie question, what autorefresh addon /g/entlemen recommends for Chrome? I mean I can set it to monitor for changes in file and then it reloads if file changes. Would save tons of F5's.

>>55830309
Not sure about that, never bothered on using one. But there are some programs that display the page you're working on as you make changes. I remember seeing some on-page editors that do that, but I don't know if you can save them into final html files.

Like firebug for firefox (not sure if chrome has it,) there are other similar ones too. Maybe look for CSS editor or HTML editor in the addon search bar.

Someone should probably think about making a new thread sometime soon. Preferably without fucking up the youtube links this time.

With PHP's PDO, can you query a prepared statement to check something?

Like, I want to do a simple query that takes a value and checks if it exists in the database. I don't want to fetch anything, just a boolean true or false or integer 0 or 1 to check it in the if statement.

Which PDO function does this? I don't know how to query when I do PDO's prepare and use the bindValue function on it. I think only PDO's execute function works on that. query() just gives an error.

>>55829081
I don't know what the fuck you're trying to ask. If you're trying to get the ID of that particular game, wouldn't you just use the value returned at

$row['id']

?

>>55831147
https://secure.php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.fetchcolumn.php

>>55831178
Yeah, but how am I going to get that via POST after submission? The $_POST['gamename'] just gives the game's name and not the id. I want the game's name to display for the user as they type but I want to get the game's id.

I mean, I can just check it in the background, but would be easier if I can just get simple integer values.

>>55831147
>I want to do a simple query that takes a value and checks if it exists in the database
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11974613/pdo-php-check-if-row-exist

>>55831215
so set the id as value, not the name?
the value is what gets posted back, if you want the id, then set the id as value.

>>55831225
Well the closest thing I can get to right now without javascript is something like using the $row['gname'] like

<option>".$row['gname']."</option>

But then, when I use the $row['id'] in the value, when I type the characters required to complete the name, and select the entire name, it replaces it with its id instead of the completing the name.

I have users who now want to be grouped together into teams.

Question: how the fuck can I keep my API RESTful... what should the HTTP calls be?

PATCH { add_user : 123 } to /company/company_id

or

POST { user_id : 123 } to /company/company_id/add_user

or

POST {user_id: 123, group_id: 345 } to /add_user_to_company

Or am I completely off? Because my controllers look ugly as fuck

>>55831279
okay, now I get it what you want.
you can't do that without javascript.

either have a hidden value that you change with JS when someone changes the value or scrap the datalist and use a custom autocomplete input that sets values based on the id instead.

>>55831202
Nice, that works. If the item exists, then the if statement takes it as true.

But don't know if >>55831223 will be safer, I'll look into it soon. Thank you.

>>55831333
Oh yeah, I used an autocomplete for something similar when checking for older browsers.

I guess there's no way around it other than javascript. Thanks!

>>55831323

Rule of thumb is you should follow a

/things/:thing_id

pattern

// Add a new user:
POST {user_id: 123} /companies/:company_id/users

// Show users:
GET /companies/:company_id/users

// Update a user:
PUT {foo: bar, bas: balls} /companies/:company_id/users/:user_id

// Delete a user:
DELETE /companies/:company_id/users/:user_id
// (most likely just flag them removed in the db, never delete anything)

For groups:
(assumes groups don't span multiple companies)

// Get all groups:
GET /companies/:company_id/groups

// Get info about a particular group:
GET /companies/:company_id/groups/:group_id

// Add a user to a group
POST {user_id: 123} /companies/:company_id/groups/:group_id

Other verbs should follow the same pattern (or something different, just make sure it's internally consistent)

Also, obviously make sure you handle authentication properly to protect sensitive info.

>>55831521

Thanks that gave me a lot of clarity. Nested routes now make complete sense.

[+50 points]

>>55831521
>most likely just flag them removed in the db, never delete anything
Is this for legal reasons?

>>55831820

In my jurisdiction you have to store some records (e.g. transactions) for at least 6 years. Other records you must delete within 3 months if they're not being used.

Depends on what the data holds and where you live.

Hello /wdg/ red pill me on NoSQL

Also NoSQL != MongoDB. Mongo is volatile and inconsistent as all fuck with its data. Some good NoSQL databases are CouchDB and RethinkDB.
