How can I set undefined or null and make empty to a date field in the parse.com data browser.
There is nothing related with code, in the pic i attached, you can see the parse.com data browser and i want to set undefined or null whatever and make that field empty but whenever i tried and double click the cell, data browser open date widget and it is not allowed to delete the data or there is no button to make empty.
Parse.com Data Browser
In data-browser I don't think it's possible to delete a date value, I couldn't find a way to do it at least.
And now that Parse.com will not be maintained anymore(in 01/01/2017 it will shut down), I don't think this may come up as a feature.
My solution to this problem was to make a request to this register and use unset. It gets a bit more of work but solves the problem.
I don't know if you're using parse with Javascript but it can be really easy to adapt to other enviroments.
In Javascript this script should do the trick:
var DateUpdate = Parse.Object.extend("MyTableOnParse");
var dateUpdateEdit = new Parse.Query(DateUpdate);
dateUpdateEdit.equalTo("objectId",myObjectId);
dateUpdateEdit.first({
success: function(object)
{
object.unset("saleDate");
object.save({
success: function(updatedObject)
{
console.log("Data deleted");
}
})
}
});

There a few similar questions, but none of them have really gotten at what I'm asking.
I have a browser action popup. In the popup, I want to display settings if you're on a page where the content script has been injected (i.e., any page that matches the matches key within the content_scripts in the `manifest).
If I'm on a page that doesn't match the content_scripts matches pattern (and so wasn't injected), I just want to display a generic message "this plugin activates when you're on so-and-so sites".
What is the cleanest way to do it, without adding any unnecessary permissions?
It seems like one option is sending a message to a content script in the active tab, and seeing if I get a reply, but that seems really.. hacky. I should be able to know just based on a regex if I'm on one of the domains that matches my content script.
I'm looking for something that works in both manifest v2 and v3, btw.
TL;DR;
What's the simplest way to display a "you're on a page that matches your content_script" or "you're not on a page that matches your content_script" in a browser_action popup?
I build chrome extensions full time for an agency and have had projects where I needed to do exactly what you're asking.
The solution can be implemented w/o any permissions whatsoever. I built mine locally with an empty array for permissions. (for mv3)
for popup.html just create 2 divs and have them default to display none.
<div id="unsupported" style="display: none;">Ooops! This is not a supported site.</div>
<div id="supported" style="display: none;">Wohoo! This is a supported site!!!!!</div>
for your script.js, wait till the popup loads then query the active tab in the current window and get that tab's ID to send a message directly to it. If the tab is supported with a content script, it will send a true response (see last code snippet). If it wasn't supported, it will be an 'undefined' response.
async function setUI() {
let tabData = await chrome.tabs.query({ active: true, currentWindow: true })
let tabId = tabData[0].id // tabs.query returns an array, but we filtered to active tab within current window which yields only 1 object in the array
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, {
'message': 'isSupported'
}, (response) => {
console.log(response)
// response will be true if the message was successfuly sent to the tab and "undefined" if the message was never received (i.e. not supported w/ your content script)
if (response) return showSupportedHTML()
// else
showUnsupportedHTML()
})
}
function showSupportedHTML() {
document.querySelector('#supported').style['display'] = ''
}
function showUnsupportedHTML() {
document.querySelector('#unsupported').style['display'] = ''
}
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
setUI()
})
Lastly, in your content script, add a message listener to receive the message 'isSupported' that comes in from your content script. If the content script receives that message, have it send a response back with 'true'.
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function (request, sender, sendResponse) {
if (request.message == 'isSupported') {
console.log('run')
sendResponse(true)
}
})
Now, this of course only works for manifest v3 because as far as I know you can't use chrome.tabs.query for mv2. However, I recommend this solution as I've implemented pretty much this exact same code in other projects for clients and it's never had any issues.
I could look into a solution for mv2, though using the "activeTab" permission would be the right way to do it, I believe. Now, if you really don't want to go that route then you could implement a rather hacky solution. For example, you could use window 'focus' and window 'blur' events to see when a user has entered or left a tab. Then set a local storage variable every time a user enters / leaves a supported page. The order of operations for blur and focus is always blur => focus. So, when the blur event occurs you set a local storage variable to false. However, if you leave a supported tab for another supported tab then the 'focus' event will trigger immediately afterwards so you can set that same storage variable back to true.
Now, your content script will load after the tab has been focused so you'll need to add a function for when the page loads. You can run something like document.hidden and if that returns true, do nothing because the user already left this tab. If it returns false, then the user is still on the tab and you can set your local storage variable to true.
When the user opens the popup, you'll check that local storage variable and if its true or false, you can set the UI accordingly.
Let me know if the mv2 solution made sense or sounds too hacky. Happy to look into it more! :)
edit: Here is the code for mv2, I tested it and it does work and without any permissions, other than storage which is not an invasive permission.
Script.js for the mv2 popup:
async function setUI() {
chrome.storage.local.get(['isSupported'], function (response) {
console.log(response['isSupported'])
// response will be true if the message was successfuly sent to the tab and "undefined" if the message was never received (i.e. not supported w/ your content script)
if (response['isSupported']) return showSupportedHTML()
// else
showUnsupportedHTML()
})
}
function showSupportedHTML() {
document.querySelector('#supported').style['display'] = ''
}
function showUnsupportedHTML() {
document.querySelector('#unsupported').style['display'] = ''
}
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
setUI()
})
code for the content script in mv2:
if (!document.hidden) chrome.storage.local.set({'isSupported': true})
window.addEventListener('blur', () => {
console.log('left site')
chrome.storage.local.set({'isSupported': false})
})
window.addEventListener('focus', () => {
console.log('entered site')
chrome.storage.local.set({'isSupported': true})
})
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Disclaimer: I have no prior browser extension development experience and am just going by the docs. I might be spouting nonsense or giving an answer that is plainly against your requirements, but that would be out of ignorance and not malicious intent. If you find my answer problematic, comment, or cast a vote and move on.
According to MDN, the activeTab permission allows to read the active tab's Tab.url property. One solution could be to request that permission, and then use that API to get the active tab's URL, and then use the same regex from the manifest.json's matches property to test for a match, and then use that information to modify your extension's browser_action UI.
You should be able to read the matches property from the manifest file via the .runtime.getManifest() API. MDN docs, chrome docs.
Snippet to get active tab in a background script: tabs.query({active: true}). (link to MDN docs). A content script should instead use tabs.getCurrent and the Tab.active property of the resolved result.
If you don't want to request the activeTab permission, what you're suggesting with the message-passing between the browser_action scripts and the content scripts might be the right way to go, but I don't know for a fact. The tabs.onActivated event would probably be useful with this approach. Note that to send a message from a background script to a content script, you need to use tabs.sendMessage (MDN docs, chrome docs) instead of runtime.sendMessage.
Another possible (maybe?) approach would be to listen for the tab change in the content script and then send the notification message from the content script to the extension's background scripts via the onfocus event (or similar events), and runtime.sendMessage.
If you go with a messaging-related approach, you might want to put a condition in the content script to only do messaging if the content script is in the top frame of the tab (Ie. iframes don't do messaging), since only one frame of the tab really needs to do this kind of messaging when the active tab changes, and content scripts can be applied to all frames in a browsing context.
Of these possible solutions I can think of, I don't know which is best for you, since you want both minimal permission requirements and a simple/clean approach, and each seems to be a tradeoff.
I am reading in several places that I should be able to get the data context of the current template with Template.currentData();
I found that it seems to only work within an autorun. But after logging the data as a variable there, first it logs null, then it logs the data in the console.
When I try to use the data, like for example trying to pass data._id into a subscription, I get a TypeError in the console. TypeError: Cannot read property '_id' of null. So for some reason, the data is null and I am struggling to find out why.
I have the data context set within my routes using Iron Router:
Router.route('/stock/:stockNumber', {
name: 'stock.detail',
template: 'StockDetail',
data: function () {
return Stock.findOne({
stockNumber: this.params.stockNumber*1
});
}
});
What I am trying to do is get access to the data context so that I can pass some things from it, such as the '_id' into some other subscriptions. What am I doing wrong?
The template is otherwise correctly displaying the data on the page as expected, and I can use Spacebars to show things like {{_id}} for example. But again, I seem to be unable to get access to the data context in Template.StockDetail.onCreated
Ok, so here's what I ended up doing...
Apparently the data context is just simply not available in the onCreated, period. What I had to do was do a Collection.findOne() within the autorun to find the stockItem and set the result to a variable, then use the stockItem._id as the parameter in the new subscription IF the item was found. With both of these things, it seems to work just fine.
Template.StockDetail.onCreated(function () {
let instance = this;
instance.autorun(function () {
instance.subscribe('stock_item', Router.current().params.stockNumber);
let stockItem = Stock.findOne({ // This is what was needed for some reason...
stockNumber: Router.current().params.stockNumber*1
});
if (stockItem) { // ...and, also, this was needed
instance.subscribe('stock_item_scan_log', stockItem._id);
}
});
});
I just don't understand why I can't just easily get the _id some other way. This way just feels incorrect and I don't like it.
I override the record view, by creating in custom/modules/myModule/clients/base/views/record/record.js this file record.js. I want to get the value of a field for the current object and I use this.model.get('duration'), but I get nothing.The only field available is "id". How can I retrieve the values for others fileds?
When the record.js script is initially called, the model won't have fully loaded, so the only available field with be the id.
Your best bet is probably to override the _renderHtml function; by the the time the view is being rendered all the model details will have fully loaded:
_renderHtml: function() {
// custom code involving this.model.get('duration')
// call parent
app.view.View.prototype._renderHtml.call(this);
}
Note that you may find _renderHtml is called multiple times, sometines before the model is fully loaded. This is just a quirk of Sugar so it may be best to add a check in your code:
if (this.model.get('duration')) {
// custom code involving this.model.get('duration')
}
Dont forget that app.model.get('myfield') only delivers the right content (from this field) when your field is already displayed in detailview - else you will get "undefined"!
So you
Have to call the rest api (rest/v10/yourmodel/yourid) - than you
have all the values available
Display your fields (even you dont want to) to be able to use it in app.model.get('yourfield'), an alternative you could append your record.js (after rendering) with $('div [data-name="yourfield"]').hide();
I know this question is quite old already (but if someone else run into this he could find this useful).
using .NET MVC/Razor, I am working on setting the validation summary manually client side using the following method for a few js client side operations which will not be handled in data annotations:
function RenderError(message) {
var myDiv = $('[data-valmsg-summary="true"]');
myDiv.removeClass("validation-summary-valid");
myDiv.addClass("validation-summary-errors");
var list = myDiv.find('ul');
$("<li />").html(message).appendTo(list);
}
This works fine, but obviously repeats the errors. What is the simplest way to check and see if the message has already been entered in a list item? Keeping in mind that I already have a handle to the div itself?
Thanks in advance
You could check in a if statement if the data-valmsg-summary field is true and skip it accordingly, does it make sense?
I'm working on a sample app for Facebook, using Flash Builder and Flex.
Now, I've got everything up and running - but there's one problem, specifically with the work history part.
When I try to display the user's work history..here's the code for logging in:
protected function login():void
{
FacebookDesktop.login(loginHandler, ["user_birthday", "user_work_history"]);
}
Here, loginHandler's a callback function, that then goes ahead and displays data about the user:
protected function loginHandler(success:Object,fail:Object):void
{
if (success){
currentState = "LoggedIn";
fname.text = success.user.name;
userImg.source=FacebookDesktop.getImageUrl(success.uid,"small");
birthdayLbl.text=success.user.birthday;
workLbl.text=success.user.work;
}
}
Now, the problem occurs with success.user.work - it ends up printing the following:
[object,Object],[object,Object],[object,Object],[object,Object]
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong..but I can't figure out what exactly it is. Would be grateful for some pointers!
Thanks!
Rudi.
The object contained in success.user.work is most likely an array of objects, each item representing a work period, so you'll have to treat it as such. Either use a list and a custom renderer for each item, or create a string by iterating over the array, and appending the fields that you're interested in.
To see what the individual objects contain, either use a breakpoint during debug and inspect them, or check to see if they're documented in the facebook development documentation.
