i would like to ask, if there's any way to retrieve files links of folder which is publicly shared. Like someone create random public folder(everyone can view it) and put some random files into it. So i need to get all files links from that folder. All i know is link to that folder in format: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/[code]/[code].
Can i do that by using dropbox api, or the only option is to scrape dropbox page directly?
Here is a copy paste example:
using Dropbox.Api;
using Dropbox.Api.Files;
...
// AccessToken - get it from app console
// FolderToDownload - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{unicorn_string}?dl=0
using (var dbx = new DropboxClient(_dropboxSettings.AccessToken))
{
var sharedLink = new SharedLink(_dropboxSettings.FolderToDownload);
var sharedFiles = await dbx.Files.ListFolderAsync(path: "", sharedLink: sharedLink);
foreach (var file in sharedFiles.Entries)
{
}
}
The documentation wasn't clear about setting path to an empty string when using it with publicly shared folders.
The official way to get information about a particular shared link is to use the Dropbox API's /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata endpoint:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata
In the official Dropbox .NET SDK that's the GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync method:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Sharing_Routes_SharingUserRoutes_GetSharedLinkMetadataAsync_1.htm
This unfortunately doesn't offer the list of files though. We'll consider that a feature request.
Note that scraping the site would be error prone and likely to break without warning. (It's also against the terms anyway.)
Edit:
Dropbox API v2 now supports listing the contents of a shared link for a folder. This can be accomplished using the same interface as listing a folder in a connected user's account, via the list_folder functionality. To list the contents of a shared link for a folder, you instead provide the shared link URL in the shared_link parameter to /2/files/list_folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder
If you're using an official SDK, there will also be a corresponding method for this endpoint. In the .NET SDK that's available as ListFolderAsync:
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/M_Dropbox_Api_Files_Routes_FilesUserRoutes_ListFolderAsync_1.htm
I am using IdentityServer3 for authentication. Users are stored using AspnetIdentity framework. I wanted to provide reset password functionality to users. I want to provide this functionality in IdentityServer hosting application. I have gone through several posts here here here and this what I have done so far:
1>I have created custom user service derived from AspNetIdentityUserService.
2>Created resetpassword.html and put it in template folder. (documentation)
3>It's not necessary to create a CustomViewService, so I added LoginPageLink in AuthenticationOptions and now the link is available on login page.
4>Created ResetPasswordController
public class ResetPasswordController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult ResetPassword(string username)
{
// call customservice here and reset password
return View();
}
}
Issue
when i click on the resetpassword link, i get error
The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine
supports the searched locations. The following locations were
searched: ~/Views/resetpassword/Index.aspx
~/Views/resetpassword/Index.ascx ~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx ~/Views/resetpassword/Index.cshtml
~/Views/resetpassword/Index.vbhtml ~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml
I know why the error is, its because we don't have corresponding view in Views folder where MVC framework in looking for. My view resetpassword.html is in template folder. And that's the confusion. Identity server is using Angular to build its views.
If I decide to use angular then
1>How do I create and pass model to resetpassword.html.
2>How do I wire-up my CustomUserService to controller.
If I use ASP.NET MVC then
1>I need to add resetpassword.cshtml in Views folder and also a new Layout.cshtml in shared folder.
2>Doing so MVC scafolding will add bootstrap resources (css,js, jquery). The version may not match with IdentityServer's embedded resources.
I am comfortable coding ASP.NET MVC but worried adding bootstrap resources twice in the solution.
What is the best and easy approach here. Any sample example will be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to know how I can implement CSRF protection on a custom Magento front-end form (in the mage system and located under app/design/.../templates/page/' folder as a .phtml file) that POST's to another custom PHP page (not in the mage system and located at the root of the Magento folder) to handle the form post, send email, etc.
I already have the custom forms and handlers working fine. I just need to add CSRF protection to these forms and need some advice on how I can do this using Magento's built in CSRF keys. I fully understand how to add the keys to the forms .phtml pages, but I am not sure how to use the _validateFormKey() function in the form handler's php page (since it is not in the mage system).
I am asking if this is possible as I do not want to have to create a custom module with front-end page to handle the task since the forms .phtml and handler pages are already setup and working (without CSRF). And yes, I have already looked at this post: Magento CSRF protection.
Once Magento application has been initialized you should be able to access Magento request and session objects and validate the form key in your PHP script:
$requestFormKey = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('form_key');
$sessionFormKey = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey();
if ($requestFormKey == $sessionFormKey) {
//go
}
I am using Zend Framework to develop some application. I develop on my localhost and then I upload it to some subdomain like abc.mydomain.com. When I upload my layout index.phtml, I get the following for all URLs:
abc.mydomain.com/css/base.css 404 (Not Found)
on the web browser console but my CSS is in the public folder.
my code to link this css is :
<?php echo $this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/css/base.css') ?>
What should i do to make these addresses work ?
To complete my question : How does the framework distinguish between a folder and a controller or How could i tell the framework to don't act on these URL ass action , they are folders ?
Sounds like a mapping issue associated to the hosting the subdomain. Often on shared hosting you cannot map the project's public folder to the subdomain. So a variety of rewrite tricks are required to map requests for pages and assets into the right directories without confusing ZF about the requested URL.
Check out:
http://www.papayasoft.com/2010/05/08/zend-framework-shared-hosting/
for a description of the problem and various approaches to solving it.
Usually, the baseUrl() view-helper detects (internally, using the Zend_Controller_Front::getBaseUrl() method) what your app's base-url is.
But sometimes, depending upon your vhost setup and the location of your public folder within the doc root - you need to tell the app explicitly what your base-url is.
In application/configs/applicatiom.ini, you can set:
resources.frontController.baseUrl = "http://abc.mydomain.com"
Then in a view-script, you can access public assets using the baseUrl() view-helper and a relative url (relative to the base you set), as follows:
<?php echo $this->headLink()->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl('css/base.css')) ?>
though I see many people use it as a prefix-only:
<?php echo $this->headLink()->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl() . '/css/base.css') ?>
I have a project in which I want to be able to call wp_list_pages() on a page that also uses the Zend Framework to power some complex interfaces manages custom data outside of wordpress.
This page should also redirect the user to the wordpress login screen if they're not already logged in with the appropriate level of authorization.
How would this work at a high level, i.e. do I need to edit the wordpress bootstrap file to conditionally implement the custom interface based on a specific URL or something, but still include certain files to be able to call wp_list_pages() on that custom interface?
I've developed a couple of WordPress plugins, and I've found it's really easy to extend. Haven't worked with Zend though.
You should check the WordPress plugin api. Mostly the part about actions, filters and hooks: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
You can even override some functions (not sure if wp_list_pages() is overridable).
It's pretty well documented, and there's a large developer community behind it on IRC, forums, etc.
Thanks Fernando.
I just read this thread which suggests that you can use Zend in any script by just including:
require_once('Zend/Loader.php');
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
So given that all I need to use Zend for is on one page, can I just include that code in a custom template file that I assign to the appropriate page in the navigation? If I used javascript to submit the form via XHR, the requested URL would take the form '/controller/action' - but Zend wouldn't know the controller directory.
Could I put Zend code into the wordpress bootstrap, i.e. the above code plus the frontController configuration, and then use Zend wherever however?
So I've created a page in Wordpress and a custom template for that page, in which I've placed the following Zend Framework code:
require_once('Zend/Loader.php');
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
$db = Zend_Db::factory('Pdo_Mysql', array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'username',
'password' => 'password',
'dbname' => 'dbname'
));
Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);
class Users extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract {
protected $_name = 'wp_users';
}
$users = new Users();
$users = $users->fetchAll()->toArray();
print_r($users[0]['user_login']);
This all works fine, so it's clearly possible to use Zend in conjuction with Wordpress at least to some extent.
It's becoming apparant that the problem is about who controls the URL rewriting, or the routing, or the bootstrapping (not sure of the correct terminology). If I were to put the end of the above code, starting $users = new Users();, into a controller as follows:
class UsersController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
function getUserAction() {
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();
$users = new Users();
$users = $users->fetchAll()->toArray();
echo $users[0]['user_login'];
}
}
How would I then call that function? My intention would be to call it from javascript via an XHR request in response to an event on the page, but requesting the URL 'index.php/Users/getUser/' returns 'No input file selected'. Trying to access the URL http://www.domain.com/Users/getUser/ produces a Wordpress 404 page.
Is there a way around this? It doesn't just apply to wordpress, of course - I expect it applies to any existing application that rewrites/routes requests via a bootstrap.
I guess you could do that, just import the framework into the one page you need it for. I don't know how Zend works, but check the paths as to where to put your directories so that Zend finds them.As I said I guess you could do that, just experiment and tell us how it went!
Beware of name conflicts for functions and/or variables, this shouldn't be much of a problem coming from such popular products as WordPress and Zend though... (which should be theoretically well coded)

I've built a plugin for wordpress that has a similar goal to yours, more modeled on CodeIgniter though. Not knowing Zend terribly well, I think this should help:
Make a file named routes.php in your plugins directory with the following code:
add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_urls' );
function add_custom_urls(){
global $wp, $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->add_rule( '(.*)$', 'index.php?&cPath=$matches[1]', 'top' );
$wp->add_query_var( 'cPath' );
}
Be sure to activate both plugins in your admin. These two files will allow you to catch the url before Wordpress tries to figure out what to do with it. You can use regular expressions to have finer control over which pages to catch. You may have to delete the record in your _options db table where option_name = 'rewrite_rules' before this works.
Next, make another plugin with the following code:
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bootstrap' );
function bootstrap(){
global $cPath;
echo( "cPath : $cPath" );
if( $cPath ){
dosomethingwith( $cPath );
}
}
Put all your code in the dosomethingwith() function. You'll need to figure out if the url requested can me mapped to a zend controller, etc. http://www.domain.com/Users/getUser/ would give you $cPath = Users/getUser/ If successful, you'll also probably want to die(), so once it is completed Wordpress won't try and take over again.
