Can anyone help me with user groups in Django?
I'm trying to make 2 groups with their permissions, one can view and the other can view, delete, edit.
How can I do it programmatically instead through the admin interface?
Total noob here

So I've really been into JSON and XML lately. What are some cool sources I can use to practice using those things for real? Maybe there's a website that dumps upcoming concerts in XML format? Anything like that?

Don't use XML. But if you really have to, danbooru, for example, has both a JSON and XML API.

>>54134098
I can't. I'm not in charge of creating the design, only implementing it. I do get a little bit of wiggle room, but generally I have to try to stick to the design depicted by another team-member. I've told them images and videos are costly, but this is still the design they chose.

And music. Good lord. I've explained nobody does music on websites anymore, and the designer actually agrees, but the big-boss literally will not take no for an answer, so even though we both agree its a bad idea, we have to do it anyway.

And before you tell me that I need a less-ridiculous boss, recognize i'm not really in control of this. Big-boss pays the bills. So I have to do as I'm told. (I call this individual "big-boss" because she's like 3 tiers above my head on the corporate ladder, designer is 2 tiers above my head, and "boss" is 1 tier)

>Death to PHP
Hell yeah
What's the point in using frameworks like CakePHP? This shit is slow as hell, and I think it has a mem leak somewhere because it's always exceeding the memory or execution time limit
In general using a framework just used up more time than to just actually get down to coding. I'm all up for things like rails, but this is annoying

>>54134348
If you're working on a personal project for fun, then use whatever you want. But PHP is widely used professionally so there are a lot of job opportunities with having that under your belt

7.9mb pageload. One of the worst I've seen.

Let's throttle my bandwidth in chrome dev tools and simulate the mobile UX...

1.1 minute page load time on a 3g connection, and the page layout is too big to display on an iPhone 5 screen. And you're going to continue wasting the users mobile data by streaming shitty music to them continuously...

Tell your boss that mobile UX is actually important. Mobile has overtaken desktop as an internet platform, saying "mobile internet" these days is almost as dated as saying "color television". Try using that as a good reason to get rid of all this crap. Also get a ServiceWorker on there so you can cache what assets you do send to the client so at least the second visit won't be aids.

Failing that, just kill your boss.

Not the guy you're replying, but it makes me think I really should make my website mobile-friendly. I've never used my phone to browse the Internet (I don't understand why so many people do it, if they're home) so I've never cared enough, but this gotta change.

What are the base64 blobs in the head?

This is minimal, but might as well use an HTML minifier to strip whitespace and comments.

Turn it into a SPA. Have a div wrap everything that changes between pages and fetch its contents as pre-rendered HTML through AJAX.

All I can think of, for now.

>>54134743
>What are the base64 blobs in the head?
Ugh. I know. That one is my bad.

At first this website was ajax based. Everything was happening through XHR. Then I realized that was retarded.

So instead of making XHR to seperate scripts for the data, I just turned the data into a base64-encoded data-uri. So now the functions make requests to this data-uri instead of to a script.

Basically I was too lazy to re-engineer the whole page (and I had deadlines to meet), so I took the easy way out by putting the data-uri in my superglobal, and just swapped the url for the variable in my $.get() requests.

Retarded, I know. I'll fix it eventually.

If you want to play around and the console and figure out what I was doing, just type MJM or mjm_ .
Pretty much everything i've done will appear in the pop-up auto-completion diag that the JS console has.

mjm_ are little functions
MJM_ are big functions or constructors or me being lazy with the home-video control mechanism

and MJM. is where most crap is stored temporarily.

I've only been doing javascript for 3 months. Give me a break. I'm still learning.

>>54134840
Yea. Use wordpress to make a quick buck.

Then get hacked by some kid, and have universal suing my ass for delivering an insecure product.

Anyone have experience with phpwkhtmltopdf? When I use the code below, I get a popup dialog with the "Open with" and "Save File" options as should be expected. If I open with Adobe Acrobat Reader or whatever the pdf shows up just fine. If I "Open with Firefox (default)" I get the non-header jiberish (pic related). I guess $pdf->send('test.pdf'); is for "download" and $pdf->send(); is for "inline browser display". If I use $pdf->send(); I get the jiberish too. I understand that the headers aren't being set properly, but I'm not sure what to do about it. Documentation on this matter is very limited. I would like to be able to open the file in a browser using the popup download dialog. Can anyone clue me in to what I am doing wrong?

$pdf = new Pdf();
$options = array(
'margin-top' => 0,
'margin-bottom' => 0,

If you use content-disposition, it will force a download.

He just said he already has that part covered. the problem is when he tries to embed it in the page.

Not all of us are clueless. My shit works. (well, most of it) And honestly, it seems the people that hate on us php developers tend to TALK a lot about how they hate us, but I rarely see them posting about what they're working on.

$path is a path to a web page I want to turn into a pdf. I am trying to turn a .php html page into a .pdf file since that is what wkhtmltopdf does. In your example the file you are echoing has a .pdf extension instead of a .php extension. Am I missing something?

>>54135968
Try this, anonkun

$pdf = new Pdf();
$options = array(
'margin-top' => 0,
'margin-bottom' => 0,
);
$pdf->setOptions($options);
$pdf->addPage($path);
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
$pdf->send();

>>54135644
My $path is a dynamic path and looks something like /print/var1/var2/var3/ since I am creating different pdfs dynamically based on the vars. I can't just "set the Content-Type header to application/pdf" at the top of /print/index.php. wkhtmltopdf is supposed to print a pdf of rendered html. Where exactly am I supposed to set the Content-Type?

>>54135903
bro doesn't wanna acknowledge you're an expert and better than him somehow

>>54136067
The content type needs to be set on the dynamic $path I am generating, not the file that is generating the $path.

Oh. Oh man. Sorry. I totally missed what you were trying to do. I thought you were just trying to embed a static pdf.

But you want to convert a page to pdf.

....

You could try just assembling the PDF by hand, instead of trying to convert.

I found a js library. https://parall.ax/products/jspdf . Looks promising. Or you can continue playing around with wkhtmltopdf()

I've never done what you're trying to do.

>>54136197
is 'common_ports.pdf' an actual pdf, or a php file?

Maybe this is a silly question. But my php for wordpress themes only consists of including/requiring php files. And pasting standard information from wordpress like categories and tags (like in the post category cars the php file menu-cars.php and banner-cars.jpg get loaded).

Do I still need to sanitize this data? It seems fairly safe if you dont use the input of visitors.

I know, but cakePHP and frameworks in general
I don't think they are worth it
I have little experience, I've coded a website with pure PHP, made a custom component in Joomla and now I'm working with a project that uses cakePHP, and I don't see a lot of advantages to it
The database/model layer of abstraction, for example, is simply not worth it. There is this learning curve to properly declare your models and use the interface, and the advantage that the code is independent from the database type is simply not true, you always have problems when you have to change the database.
So yeah, fuck PHP frameworks, I don't see the advantage in using them rather than simply programming from scratch

Also what are the requirements of a front end developer, yeah they ask about javascript, angular, node.js, css html shit etc, but when I got to the interview and they ask me what I can do ( and I can pretty much make a whole site from scratch, database, everything) what should I tell ?

>>54138912
There are ways to embed websites in iOS/Android apps, though Apple may reject them. It's a shit way to make an app though, worse experience.

Just convince the clients to bookmark the URL and use the browser, unless your software actually requires using the phones hardware for something.

>google picks up my wordpress blog attached to my website

What do you mean your content pages use JSON? You make the content loads through AJAX? Should still be indexed afaik

I know, famhai. But it's also quite easy to extend, very flexible to architecture and modularize and there are plugins for all the things it "lacks". Sure, it doesn't have batteries inlcuded but it's easy to find and add the batteries you need.

> Why Django and not Flask?

The application i maintain is a few years old now and pretty big (>20k LOC). It was written when Flask was still a newcomer. Anyway, Django has its rough edges but it mostly werks.

>>54139011
The problem with Flask is that things get out of hand pretty quick when your app grows. For a lot of stuff there isn't a established best practice. With Django, when a new developer walks in in that has worked on a few Django projects he can get started on Day 1 because he should be familiar with the overall architecture.

>>54139011
As easy as you might find it to extend Flask, Django's batteries work so seamlessly, interacting between different concepts/layers can be made even quicker if there is a general approach you take to doing a certain thing. For example, ModelFormViews are a godsend in some places

You looked through the api/docs? If you can do it through the admin interface/shell, you can probably replicate it through wherever else you want to

>>54137073
minimum requirements you will see on all frontend job ads are:

-know html/css inside and out
-know javascript very well
-be able to query DOM directly
-able to use git very well (screwing up version control is not tolerated)
-be fast in an editor (you wont get hired if you type code slowly/dont know hotkeys)
-be able to mock stuff up fast in bootstrap
-know jquery inside and out
-have a github of professional quality frontend projects you can show

some stuff that will probably be listed on the job ad that the shop might use and require you to know:
-know transpiler language like Coffeescript, Typescript, Sass, Haml

extra stuff that will make you look good:
-know a SPA framework, Angular, Handlebars, Ember, React, Knockout, etc
-know how to do backend, node especially, but also PHP or MVC framework like Rails, Django

Anyone who thinks front-end is easy is literally too dunning-kruger to know any better.

Especially compared to "full-stack" where someone is expected to do both.

I enjoy doing front-end work and have been since IE5, can knock-up a responsive site to a custom design from scratch in an hour or two, but every-time I apply for front-end positions I laugh at the salary offered.

>>54140221
Probably because of the meme that "front-end" means "entry-level"

When would I use react? Especially if I'm using something like django. I'm already passing everything I need to the template and I can use template tags / "python code" to change any display elements there.

>>54140521
React is an entirely different way of working, when you want to build an entirely dynamic "application" rather than shoving some separate static HTML to the browser and enhancing it a little with Javascript.

I'd decide what your website needs to do first.

I have included this in my .ascx file

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>
<div class="g-recaptcha" style="max-width:100%; width:300px;margin:0 auto;" data-sitekey="I_PUT_MY_SITEKEY_HERE"></div>

and here is what's in my .ascx.cs file

protected void SubmitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Page.Validate();
    if (Page.IsValid)
    {
        try
        {
            //this is where all the email template code is, not important
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Logger.Error("Contact Form", ex);
        }
    }

}

As you can see I am trying to validate the captcha on the submit button click, then if it is valid, then the email is sent through the contact form. Where am I going wrong? The captcha is displaying fine, just need it to work with the form.

In what country can I host copyrighted images without worries?

It are just 250x250px versions. But I dont feel like getting my site taken down.

Been following your question since the thread started, can you explain why you dont want it done through using admin?

>>54138973
>What do you mean your content pages use JSON?

I communicate with an SQL database using a JSON encode from the SQL database to populate the datatable.

page loads perfectly except occasionally a datatable.net error crops up and its probably from my JSON refresh timer being every 30 seconds

but for some reason google won't find these pages. I took out index.php and the robot.txt isn't blocking any content.

could a JSON error force the google web crawler to not index it?

are there any straight forward algorithms for generating a random dungeon?

all i want is a 2d array of rooms connected by hallways

from what i've read a popular method is generating a maze then dropping rooms adjacent to the hallways on the maze?

idk im not asking for a magic bullet but if someone could point me in the direction of what i need to read about id be thankful :)

Whoever suggested launchcode can fuck right off.

They use hackerrank shit which is fucking awful.

The second question was literally talking about some kind of calculus bullshit. I can make a website that gets 10s of thousands of visitors a month but god forbid I try to get a job making websites without calculus! Oh fuck! I'm sure I will need to combine these two m-element string arrays with subponents under constraints on a regular basis in real life.

If I can't understand the question then you have a shitty question.

if you have a component that needs to manage a lot of state on the client, then react is pretty cool

contrary to >>54140626, it's actually designed to drop into a server-rendered page - Facebook uses it for things like search boxes and chat windows

or you can build a whole interface with it, which is what Instagram is

React isn't magic, it's just good at what it does and it's pretty cool how it does it (virtual dom).

Whatever, man. Wish well on your never-ending CRUD-making journey.

Asking again, what's the best JS library for simple animation? All I want to do is animate sprites with some simple scripted movements and a few sound events.

Don't need to learn some complex game library, I really just want to script some simple animation events. I'm very JS experienced for non-entertainment / non-front-end stuff, just really don't need to learn some full-featured game library.

Haaaalp? Anyone with experience have any recommendations?

>>54143076

>>54143185
Blump myself...

I know I could craft my own simple loop that executes an object with scripted movement; it just seems like some JS library must exist I can utilize instead of rolling my own.

Go easy on me I'm a beginner.

I have a lot of buttons of this form in HTML:

<input type="button" style="width: 50px; height: 50px" id = "btn1" onclick="btnClick();">

I want to use jQuery to update the value text of the button that was clicked. I have this:

function btnClick(e) {
    $(this).val("test")
}

I don't know how to use e. My prof says "#" + e.target.id works, but it doesn't. How do I, /wdg/?

>>54142109

use a disjoint set to do all the wall knocking down bullshit

and then to solve use a stack and turn left every time.

>>54143365
Try this inside the function

$(this).val("test");

>>54143794
>>54143365

Fuck, just realized it's the same thing. You're missing a semicolon, thats probably the issue why yours isnt working.

>>54143803
Oops, actually the semicolon missing was just a typo. It's actually in there in my code, I just rewrote it incorrectly..

>>54143365
>My prof says "#" + e.target.id works, but it doesn't

$("#btn1").val("test");

??

>>54143857
That works, but it only updates one button. Like I said, I have multiple buttons and the value in the $() has to reflect the button that was clicked

>>54136330
there's not much to learn. just look at the docs

>>54136583
it's a bit overwrought and antiquated, there are better options

What do you mean by 'I copy and paste it exactly'? Where are copy and pasting it? Another JSFiddle? A text editor?
If the latter, try this to include jQuery:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.3.min.js"></script>

>>54144401
Another text editor (sublimetext). I am including that, too. It's just not working for me.

>>54144492
You should include jQuery BEFORE calling your script. What does the developer console say?

>>54144623

It doesn't work the way I have it set up currently in jFiddle but it works locally.

By the way, I hate JSFiddle. It's really hard to tell the dependencies and the stuff going on.
I like jsbin more because is just like when you are coding on a text editor.

Hello guys. I am new here, and I already posted in the stupid questions general, but nobody answered me there. Please help a nigga out. I am starting to work on a SPA, map site like this one:
http://www.cartercenter.org/syria-conflict-map/

I intent to use AngularJS 1,52 and PHP, to make it work. I have already smoothed out the way to send and get data from angular to php into mySql. But I don't know where to start with the map.

Is the map supposed to be generated by some API, or am I supposed to use a series of HighDef images, and translating them based on position? Or is the best way to use and manipulate an svg object to do so. Please just tell me the best practice so I can start looking into it. Thanks in advance.

What's the best way to develop something in JS? I'm making a browser only library that will be used by other scripts but I've never done anything large scale with JS before. Are there any "best practices" I should know?

They make things easier by eliminating a lot of the prep-work.

You don't need them though.

>>54144123
Yeh, you don't need them if you want to build websites, but if you're building web *applications*, there's just too much user interaction going on that would make vanillajs a clusterfuck of code before doing anything useful.

I've to write something to work offline on a webview.

Any thoughts on how to do it?

>>54149321
What do you mean?
You have to do animation offline?
You can just download the jquery ui and link to it locally
That should prolly work provided it has the animation you were looking for.
But I am not sure thats what you meant.

>>54149338
That's the tricky part. It's a freelance project and I've to sell it as an "app". I could just send a folder with index.html, but it could look cheap.

>>54149409
Why not just include it in the head then?
I mean whoever you are sending it to must have internet,and he probably plans to deploy it on the internet unless it an offline project.
If it is,you prolly need to send it as a folder with all the js (I believe you need jquery lib too if you use jquery-ui)

Better not get caught is all I can say. If the script fucks up or someone notices any kind of paper trail, like the timestamp when the file is saved or the network usage or something, you're fucked.

At least keep your script somewhere secure so they can't take it even if you're discovered.

Ayo, I posted my shitty website prototype/portfolio-piece and got some good criticism on the design (mainly to drop the gradients and make a logo).

Well I made a shitty logo and now I have 2 versions of the header and I'm not sure which one to use. What do you guys think?
The shorter version doesn't look so great when fullscreen on a computer monitor and is probably best for mobile, so maybe I could make it transition between the two depending on the browser width?

>>54151351
The logo and non-gradients are a good start, but it still looks like you copied the design from the windows xp taskbar. I think that's what makes it look old and kind of scammy.

As far as the header goes, I think I prefer the one on the left. Maybe make the search bar stick to the right side of the header on larger screens.

I need a wiki for my page. What are some good features it SHOULD have?

I already made something really simple. A Page table in a postgresql db and some python logic which serves it's content. Some javascript with codemirror for previewing any edits you make.

So what do I add?

Right now, the basic url scheme is
www.site.com/wiki/MainPage <-- brings you to the page with the MainPage slug.
www.site.com/wiki/MainPage/edit <-- Brings you to the editor.
www.site.com/wiki/MainPage/history <-- Shows you the history of the page.
www.site.com/wiki/MainPage/talk <-- Brings you to a discussion thread concerning that page.

There are also REST bindings to delete/post/revert undo, but I'm thinking features.

More importantly, stuff like namespaces, tags and all that. Wikipedia among others implements namespaces with e.g
www.site.com/wiki/MyNameSpace:MainPage

which I think is ugly as FUCK. But I don't know any other way to do it as well. What do?

Basically, what do I need to add to my wiki that will make you want to edit it? I've already got a good editing setup which puts preview to the right, editor right.
Works like a charm in widescreen setups.

I'm still embarassed every time I look at my old work.

Does anybody have some blog on WP or any other CMS?

How much traffic did you get in the first month? Any tips for improving those numbers?

I made my first WP blog (news portal) a month ago as a part of the college course project, but I am still tweaking the design and adding new stuff (doing it all from scratch). So, I only have like 6-7 posts with 600-2000 words each and I only got around 20 unique visitors in the whole month. I just want to better understand how good or bad that is. Is that a normal traffic for such a small amount of content? I haven't started yet on the daily news spamming because I don't want much people to see it before everything is finished (because it is already up on the server and I can't really put it down because my prof has to monitor it).

I just don't know what to expect, this is actually my first hosted web.

>>54152403
Can't help you with the numbers, but I'm curious what kind of news? I suppose regular visitors is not what you're looking for with so little content. I guess you'll have visitors that are looking for a specific thing. So my 'advice' would be to specialize and not simply relay. There are most likely better websites than yours for news, no?

>>54152403
You better have the option to share articles to social media.

so I've taught myself HTML/CSS and feel I can make a static responsive page with ease.
Now what frameworks should I learn, if any? bootstrap?
what should I learn next?

>>54152679
I'm in your situation, started JavaScript some days ago and it gave me many new ideas

>>54152679
HTML → CSS → jQuery → JavaScript → PHP → Ruby

>>54152504
Maybe I should do that. That's what the prof said actually, it'll be more complex to get that traffic this way.

It's a blog (or "news" portal in my case, heh) about movies. Basically, I started with reviews (and that was already "too broad"), I could still specialize it just for the old movies or art-house in general, cause that's mainly what I watch anyway. The thing is, there are actually not so many popular movie portals in my country, which is the reason I'll definitely write in my native language. From those that are bigger, they are all somewhat outdated.

I really wanted, (and am still working on it), to make a great UX and really make the design unique, balancing the right amount of modern and classic look with some interactive audio-visual elements, you know. Like, have some background videos and music while you read the review, have a neatly placed info about the movie, trivia, some educational information which others are missing etc. I want that users learn something from every post. Those things are missing from the other sites. I am struggling to find a good inspiration because the actual news portals are all pretty generic and bland, and on the other hand, there are experimental websites which specialize in a single movie, and that obviously wouldn't work together. I'm still tweaking it a lot, because I'm not fully sure this will work for a bigger population - I find it enjoyable, but I can't judge that.

I am returning to web dev just because PHP is dying. I hate that piece of shit language with a passion.

Watch out to not over do the tweaking though. Visitors usually don't like autostarting audio for example.
And you can tweak all you want, if the content doesn't follow, visitors won't come.

Every time I see something fancy I like, it's literally overblown with effects, so I return to the more minimalistic look, and then again I think about experimenting more - it's a cycle without the end. I feel like I'm wasting my time constantly redoing the design, it is going super slow. But on the other hand, I think the looks are always improving.

I don't know, maybe you guys can give me some ideas you would like to see from the site like that, or from a news portal in general - I'm talking about UX and design here, not the content.

Music player like Spotify or Pandora or whatever. Nothing fancy though, just pretty basic.

Am I lazy by designing static sites, then using WordPress for the blog \ news page but calling the header and footer from the static site and not making an actual theme.

I'm still working on my website and it's not online yet. But I did read a lot about SEO. And one lesson I learned was pic related.

How the fuck do you get your site to show up in Google search results?

Are you going to ask that question every day? >>54105919

If you can't use Google you can't rank either.

I don't think a lack of traffic is everying. Blogging isn't for everyone. I've tried it a few times but I just can't stay with it because I don't like the concept.

>>54153422
SEO or just wait until enough people has visited your site. I once made a porn site and the only 'marketing' I did was a Twitter account that uploaded girls' photos with a link to my page.

How did your traffic develop over time?

Did you make any money?

True, true. I sure won't give up because I'm doing this as a college project anway lol, but I'd really like it to get noticed. I was writing reviews on one forum before, but now I have a place for myself.

And then the question arises, why would you give a fuck about my review? The answer is that probably you won't, like I wouldn't for some random guy either. But I definitely would if I could actually learn something from the industry and the culture while reading reviews and on top of that have beautiful visuals and great user experience. That's why I'm tweaking this shit so much, I want it to really shine.

Actually, there is not much traffic and even less content, but from what I have gathered in analytics, it seems that people spend a decent amount of time on reviews.

See pic related. The days with sudden drops are the days were twitter banned my account. The first time was because they thought I was a bot and I had a sexual image on my public banner (not allowed by the rules). I had to answer an email to prove I wasn't a robot and delete the picture to recover the account.
The second time they also banned me for sexual images but I couldn't recover it. I had 4.4k followers and getting more each day steadily.

>>54153614
I had ads but in 15 days I just made 1 dollar.
After I had lost the account, I didn't want to put more time into it knowing that it could go away in no time (before getting to the point where people would willingly come back to the site looking for more).

Know what? this is the site http://putimorritas.tk

>Nginx has some share too, but primarily its apache
You live in a bubble. Nginx is very mainstream.
>Apache is the way to US Dollars, not node.
Not really. ASP.NET, Spring and Rails pay more. Rails is great for consulting gigs especially.

What I notice is you don't use a lot of text (or any at all).

Considering people search for words on Google I doubt you'll rank quickly like this.
Although - the same could be said about high ranking porn video sites.

Right, but if you Google for "putimorritas" it appears on the first page, not sure why.
Being honest, I didn't apply any SEO knowledge there, I just put together some pics from my fapfolder and put it on a cheap VPS I have to mess around. I wouldn't do it this way if I had to start over (I'd add categories for example).

Well, now that I posted it here: I noticed that half of my visitors are on mobile, and about 80% of them won't go beyond the homepage i.e. they didn't click any photos. How can I style the images so they look "clickable" on mobile where I don't have a cursor to give context to the user?

I use http://www.spamspan.com/ and configure it to change the CSS class name.

Just my two cents, but I would want to:

1. Be entertained by the reviews (Meaning they need to not be boring.)

2. Have some reason to think your reviews are truthful/insightful in some way. I'd want to maybe read a review for a movie I've seen so I can judge whether or not you're just bullshitting.

In other words, content is king. You need a decent amount of interesting content with UX that lets me get to that content easily and doesn't make my eyes bleed. Maybe you could even get some other people to write guest reviews or something if you don't have enough content?
