I'm trying to send a dynamic url using a template. I want to direct users to a specific link, but I'm not sure how to do that dynamically? I can just hardcode the url, but would prefer to use dynamic urls in case I make changes in the future.
here's what I have, I realize that trying to store a url variable like this
url: "{{pathFor 'welcome'}}"
is pretty dumb, but I can't figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated! This is what I have:
var dataContext = {
message: "To set up your profile follow the link",
url: "{{pathFor 'welcome'}}",
hyperlinkText: "Get Started",
title: "Welcome to site!"
};
var html = Blaze.toHTMLWithData(Template.emailTemplate, dataContext);
var from = "myemail#mysite.com";
var to = currentUser.emails[0].address;
var subject = "Welcome to site";
Meteor.call("sendEmail", to, from, subject, html);
In javascript just evaluate Router.path(pathName) to get the path. You can get the base path with Meteor.absoluteUrl(). Note that the former will include a leading / while the latter includes a trailing / so you'll need to remove one. Ex:
function dynamicPath(pathName){
return Meteor.absoluteUrl() + Router.path(pathName).substr(1);
}

Our company has multiple brands and each brand has its own host name, but they are all part of the same site. We can let customers share baskets and other session information when they switch between brands via a redirect link using URLUtils.sessionRedirect.
But URLUtils is not available in content assets. Is it possible to form a session redirect link in content asset keeping all the session information?
Thanks in advance.
You can include dynamic content in Content Assets with the $include('Controller-Name', 'name1', 'value1', 'name2', 'value2', ...)$ syntax. See the MarkupText Class Documentation for more info on that syntax. The 'name1' and 'value1' parameters are mapped as query string attributes eg: Controller-Name?name1=value1&name2=value2
Create a controller that outputs the session redirect link you need, and call it via that syntax like: $include(Util-RenderSessionLink, 'siteID', 'foo')$
The controller would need to use a response Content-Type header of text/plain or something like that so that nothing is injected into the response. (eg: Storefront toolkit or tracking tags) For example:
response.setContentType('text/plain');
Alternatively, you could process the content asset for some sorts of keys that you perform find & replace operations on. For example, the following code does a find & replace on a Content Asset's body content for the key: '%%SessionLink%%'.
var ContentMgr = require('dw/content/ContentMgr');
var URLUtils = require('dw/web/URLUtils');
if (!empty(content) {
var content = ContentMgr.getContent('my-content-id');
var contentOut = "";
var viewData = {};
contentOut = content.custom.body.getMarkup()
.replace('%%SessionLink%%', URLUtils.sessionRedirect(...));
viewData.content = contentOut;
// then output your `pdict.content` key within a template with the appropriate encoding
}
If anybody else is running into this, we added a bit of client-side javascript that pickups up all outbound links and if it's one of our domains it sends them through a session redirect. This way we don't need content managers to fix very link between domains:
var domains = ["domaina.com", "domainb.com", "domainc.com"]
var sessionRedirectBase = '/s/Our-Site/dw/shared_session_redirect';
$(document).on("click.crossSite", "a", (e) => {
const href = $(e.currentTarget).attr("href");
if (href) { //does the link have a href
if (href.match(/^(http(s)?:)?\/\//)) { //is href an absolute url
const url = new URL(href);
if (url.hostname != window.location.hostname && domains.indexOf(url.hostname) > -1) { //is hostname not the current one and part of the domains array
e.preventDefault();
const sessionRedirect = `${sessionRedirectBase}?url=${encodeURIComponent(href)}`
window.location = sessionRedirect;
}
}
}
});
I've setup a form using googledocs. I just want to have the actual data entered into the form emailed to me, as opposed to the generic response advising that the form has been completed.
I have no skill or experience with code etc, but was sure i could get this sorted. I've spent hours+hours and haven't had any luck.
My form is really basic.it has 5 fields. 4 of which are just text responses, and one multiple choice.
I found this tute online (http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-docs-email-form/20884/) which i think sums up what i'm trying to do, but have not been able to get it to work.
from this site i entered the following code:
function sendFormByEmail(e)
{
var email = "reports.mckeir#gmail.com";
var subject = "Google Docs Form Submitted";
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
var message = "";
for(var i in headers)
message += headers[i] + ' = '+ e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString() + "\n\n";
MailApp.sendEmail(email, subject, message);
}
To this, i get the following response: ->
Your script, Contact Us Form Mailer, has recently failed to finish successfully. A summary of the failure(s) is shown below. To configure the triggers for this script, or change your setting for receiving future failure notifications, click here.
The script is used by the document 100% Club.
Details:
Start Function Error Message Trigger End
12/3/12 11:06 PM sendFormByEmail TypeError: Cannot call method "toString" of undefined. (line 12) formSubmit 12/3/12 11:06 PM
Is anyone able to help shed some light on this for me? I'm guessing i'm not including some data neeeded, but i honestly have no clue.
Workaround http://www.labnol.org/internet/google-docs-email-form/20884/
You have to setup app script to forward the data as email.
I'll point to the comment above that solved it for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14576983/134335
I took that post a step further:
I removed the normal notification. The app script makes that generic text redundant and useless now
I modified the script to actually parse the results and build the response accordingly.
function sendFormByEmail(e)
{
var toEmail = "changeme";
var name = "";
var email = "";
// Optional but change the following variable
// to have a custom subject for Google Docs emails
var subject = "Google Docs Form Submitted";
var message = "";
// The variable e holds all the form values in an array.
// Loop through the array and append values to the body.
var s = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headers = s.getRange(1,1,1,s.getLastColumn()).getValues()[0];
// Credit to Henrique Abreu for fixing the sort order
for(var i in headers) {
if (headers[i] = "Name") {
name = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Email") {
email = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Subject") {
subject = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
if (headers[i] = "Message") {
message = e.namedValues[headers[i]].toString();
}
}
// See https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/mail/mail-app#sendEmail(String,String,String,Object)
var mailOptions = {
name: name,
replyTo: email,
};
// This is the MailApp service of Google Apps Script
// that sends the email. You can also use GmailApp here.
MailApp.sendEmail(toEmail, subject, message, mailOptions);
// Watch the following video for details
// http://youtu.be/z6klwUxRwQI
// By Amit Agarwal - www.labnol.org
}
The script utilized in the example is extremely generic but very resilient to change because the message is built as a key/value pair of the form fields submitted.
If you use my script you'll have to tweak the for loop if statements to match your fields verbatim. You'll also want to edit the toEmail variable.
Thanks again for the question and answers. I was about to ditch Google Forms as the generic response was never enough for what I was trying to do.
Lastly, in response to the actual problem above "toString of undefined" specifically means one of the form fields was submitted as blank. If I had to guess, I would say the author only used this for forms where all the fields were required or a quick undefined check would've been put in place.
Something like the following would work:
for(var i in headers) {
var formValue = e.namedValues[headers[i]];
var formValueText = "";
if (typeof(formValue) != "undefined") {
formValueText = formValue.toString();
}
message += headers[i] + ' = '+ formvalueText + "\n\n";
}
I haven't tested this precisely but it's a pretty standard way of making sure the object is defined before trying methods like toString() that clearly won't work.
This would also explain Jon Fila's answer. The script blindly assumes all of the header rows in the response are sent by the form. If any of the fields aren't required or the spreadsheet has fields that are no longer in the form, you'll get a lot of undefined objects.
The script could've been coded better but I won't fault the author as it was clearly meant to be a proof of concept only. The fact that they mention the replyTo correction but don't give any examples on implementing it made it perfectly clear.
If this is a Google Form, do you have any extra columns in your spreadsheet that are not on the form? If you delete those extra columns then it started working for me.
You don't need to use a script. Simply go to Tools >> Notification Rules on your Google Spreadsheet. There you can change the settings to receive an email with your desired information every time the document is changed.
I have seen this question but what I want is different.
I want to get the Facebook ID not from a general URL (and therefore conditional if it has Like button or not). I want to get the Facebook ID given a Facebook page using the Graph API.
Notice that Facebook pages can have several formats, such as:
http://www.facebook.com/my_page_name
http://www.facebook.com/pages/my_page_name
http://www.facebook.com/my_page_ID
I know I could do some regex to get either the my_page name or my_page_ID, but I am wondering if any one know if GraphAPI is supporting what I want.
It seems to me that the easiest solution to what you describe is to just get the id/name from the url you have using lastIndexOf("/") (which most languages have an equivalent for) and then get "https://graph.facebook.com/" + id.
The data that this url returns has the id (i.e.: 6708787004) and the username (i.e.: southpark), so regardless of which identifier you use (what you extract from the url using lastIndexOf), you should get the same result.
Edit
This code:
identifier = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/"))
graphUrl = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + identifier
urlJsonData = getGraphData(graphUrl)
Should work the same (that is result with the same data) for both:
url = http://www.facebook.com/southpark
And
url = http://www.facebook.com/6708787004
(you'll obviously need to implement the getGraphData method).
Also, the 2nd url form in the question is not a valid url for pages, at least not from my tests, I get:
You may have clicked an expired link or mistyped the address. Some web
addresses are case sensitive.
The answer to the question is posted above but the method shown below works fine we do not have to perform the regex on the facebook page urls
I got the answer by this method
FB.api('/any_fb_page_url', function(response){
console.log(response);
});
any_fb_page_url can be any of the following types
https://www.facebook.com/my_page_name
https://www.facebook.com/pages/my_page_name
https://www.facebook.com/my_page_ID
This are also listed in question above
This code is tested on JS console available on Facebook Developers site tools
You can get the page id by using the below api
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/smhackapp?fields=id,name,fan_count,picture,is_verified&access_token=access_token&format=json

This answer is updated and checked in 2019:
and it is very simple because you do not need to extract anything from the link. for examples:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/Vaireo-Shop-2138395226250622/about/
https://www.facebook.com/withminta
https://www.facebook.com/2138395226250622
https://graph.facebook.com/?id=link&access_token=xxxxxxxx
response:
{
"name": "Vaireo Shop",
"id": "2138395226250622"
}
full nodeJS answer:
async function getBusinessFromFBByPageURL(pageURL: string) {
const accessToken = process.env.fb_app_access_token;
const graphUrl = `https://graph.facebook.com/?id=${pageURL}? access_token=${accessToken}`;
const fbGraphResponse = await Axios.get(graphUrl);
<?php
function getFacebookId($url) {
$id = substr(strrchr($url,'/'),1);
$json = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/'.$id);
$json = json_decode($json);
return $json->id;
}
echo getFacebookId($_GET['url']);
?>
Thats a PHP example of how to get the ID.
As of Nov 26 2021 none of these solutions work.
Facebook has locked down the API so you need an App Review.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/overview/permissions-features#features
This answer takes into account that a URL can end with a trailing slash, something that Facebook event pages seem to have in their URLs now.
function getId(url) {
var path = new URL(url).pathname;
var parts = path.split('/');
parts = parts.filter(function(part) {
return part.length !== 0;
});
return parts[parts.length - 1];
}
You can Use Requests and re Modules in python
Code:
import requests,re
profile_url = "https://www.facebook.com/alanwalker97"
idre = re.complie('"entity_id":"([0-9]+)"')
con = requests.get(profile_url).content
id = idre.findall(con)
print("\n[*] ID: "+id[0])
Output:
[*] ID: 100001013078780
Perhaps you can look through the https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/#searching docs: search against a couple of types and if you find what you're looking for go from there.
I am trying to update the bookmark count field with the SDK but have not had any success yet.
Can somebody tell me what classes I need to instantiate to do something similar to the following link:
http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/464
Note:
The link demonstrates how to set the bookmark count and delete it. I would like to be able to do the same with the SDK, any help would be appreciated.
To do this, first you need to get you app's access token:
private string GetAppAccessToken() {
var fbSettings = FacebookWebContext.Current.Settings;
var accessTokenUrl = String.Format("{0}oauth/access_token?client_id={1}&client_secret={2}&grant_type=client_credentials",
"https://graph.facebook.com/", fbSettings.AppId, fbSettings.AppSecret);
// the response is in the form: access_token=foo
var accessTokenKeyValue = HttpHelpers.HttpGetRequest(accessTokenUrl);
return accessTokenKeyValue.Split('=')[1];
}
A couple of things to note about the method above:
I'm using the .Net HttpWebRequest instead of the Facebook C# SDK to grab the app access_token because (as of version 5.011 RC1) the SDK throws a SerializationException. It seems that the SDK is expecting a JSON response from Facebook, but Facebook returns the access token in the form: access_token=some_value (which is not valid JSON).
HttpHelpers.HttpGetRequest simply uses .Net's HttpWebRequest. You can just as well use WebClient, but whatever you choose, you ultimately want to make this http request:
GET https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&client_secret=YOUR_APP_SECRET&grant_type=client_credentials HTTP/1.1
Host: graph.facebook.com
Now that you have a method to retrieve the app access_token, you can generate an app request as follows (here I use the Facebook C# SDK):
public string GenerateAppRequest(string fbUserId) {
var appAccessToken = GetAppAccessToken();
var client = new FacebookClient(appAccessToken);
dynamic parameters = new ExpandoObject();
parameters.message = "Test: Action is required";
parameters.data = "Custom Data Here";
string id = client.Post(String.Format("{0}/apprequests", fbUserId), parameters);
return id;
}
Similarly, you can retrieve all of a user's app requests as follows:
Note: you probably don't want to return "dynamic", but I used it here for simplicity.
public dynamic GetAppRequests(string fbUserId) {
var appAccessToken = GetAppAccessToken();
var client = new FacebookClient(appAccessToken);
dynamic result = client.Get(String.Format("{0}/apprequests", fbUserId));
return result;
}
I hope this helps.
I am building a REST API for my project. The API for getting a given user's INFO is:
api.com/users/[USER-ID]
I would like to also allow the client to pass in a list of user IDs. How can I construct the API so that it is RESTful and takes in a list of user ID's?
If you are passing all your parameters on the URL, then probably comma separated values would be the best choice. Then you would have an URL template like the following:
api.com/users?id=id1,id2,id3,id4,id5
api.com/users?id=id1,id2,id3,id4,id5
api.com/users?ids[]=id1&ids[]=id2&ids[]=id3&ids[]=id4&ids[]=id5
IMO, above calls does not looks RESTful, however these are quick and efficient workaround (y). But length of the URL is limited by webserver, eg tomcat.
RESTful attempt:
POST http://example.com/api/batchtask
[
{
method : "GET",
headers : [..],
url : "/users/id1"
},
{
method : "GET",
headers : [..],
url : "/users/id2"
}
]
Server will reply URI of newly created batchtask resource.
201 Created
Location: "http://example.com/api/batchtask/1254"
Now client can fetch batch response or task progress by polling
GET http://example.com/api/batchtask/1254
This is how others attempted to solve this issue:

I find another way of doing the same thing by using #PathParam. Here is the code sample.
#GET
#Path("data/xml/{Ids}")
#Produces("application/xml")
public Object getData(#PathParam("zrssIds") String Ids)
{
System.out.println("zrssIds = " + Ids);
//Here you need to use String tokenizer to make the array from the string.
}
Call the service by using following url.
http://localhost:8080/MyServices/resources/cm/data/xml/12,13,56,76
where
http://localhost:8080/[War File Name]/[Servlet Mapping]/[Class Path]/data/xml/12,13,56,76
As much as I prefer this approach:-
api.com/users?id=id1,id2,id3,id4,id5
The correct way is
api.com/users?ids[]=id1&ids[]=id2&ids[]=id3&ids[]=id4&ids[]=id5
or
api.com/users?ids=id1&ids=id2&ids=id3&ids=id4&ids=id5
This is how rack does it. This is how php does it. This is how node does it as well...
There seems to be a few ways to achieve this. I'd like to offer how I solve it:
GET /users/<id>[,id,...]
It does have limitation on the amount of ids that can be specified because of URI-length limits - which I find a good thing as to avoid abuse of the endpoint.
I prefer to use path parameters for IDs and keep querystring params dedicated to filters. It maintains RESTful-ness by ensuring the document responding at the URI can still be considered a resource and could still be cached (although there are some hoops to jump to cache it effectively).
I'm interested in comments in my hunt for the ideal solution to this form :)
You can build a Rest API or a restful project using ASP.NET MVC and return data as a JSON.
An example controller function would be:
public JsonpResult GetUsers(string userIds)
{
var values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<int>>(userIds);
var users = _userRepository.GetAllUsersByIds(userIds);
var collection = users.Select(user => new { id = user.Id, fullname = user.FirstName +" "+ user.LastName });
var result = new { users = collection };
return this.Jsonp(result);
}
public IQueryable<User> GetAllUsersByIds(List<int> ids)
{
return _db.Users.Where(c=> ids.Contains(c.Id));
}
Then you just call the GetUsers function via a regular AJAX function supplying the array of Ids(in this case I am using jQuery stringify to send the array as string and dematerialize it back in the controller but you can just send the array of ints and receive it as an array of int's in the controller). I've build an entire Restful API using ASP.NET MVC that returns the data as cross domain json and that can be used from any app. That of course if you can use ASP.NET MVC.
function GetUsers()
{
var link = '<%= ResolveUrl("~")%>users?callback=?';
var userIds = [];
$('#multiselect :selected').each(function (i, selected) {
userIds[i] = $(selected).val();
});
$.ajax({
url: link,
traditional: true,
data: { 'userIds': JSON.stringify(userIds) },
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonpCallback: "refreshUsers"
});
}
