Marking events on Jquery DatePicker

look — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 11:27:15 +0000

Jquery Datepicker is part of jqueryUI.
Usually we use it to select a date on a pop-up calendar which inject the date into it's coresponding object.

But sometimes we will want to indicate a pre-define events on the pop-up calendar. like holidays or birthdays.

You can find few "improved" plugin out there to do so, but basicly Datepicker is supporting that out-of-the-box, with it's verious initialization methods.

As i always preffer, best explain by example:

assume we have DOM object of or

 <input type="text" id="myCalendar" /> //attaching Datepicker to it, will open the pop-up calendar on focus
 <div id="myCalendar"></div> //attaching Datepicker to it, will open a static calendar

so we will bind the Datepicker object like that:

 $('#myCalendar').Datepicker(); //attaching with default settings

But then, we can provide a function that will be called on each day of the calendar BEFORE it is rendered,
so all we need to do is to check if we want to "mark" this day:

$('#myCalendar').Datepicker({
beforeShowDay: function(date){
var i=0;
for (i = 0; i < view.ScheduledPostsView.calendarEventsArray.length; i++)
{
if (date.getFullYear() == myEvents[i].getFullYear()
&& date.getMonth() == myEvents[i].getMonth()
&& date.getDate() == myEvents[i].getDate()) {

return [true, 'calendarEvent', 'This Day has Events']; // [isClickable?, className, title]

}

return [false, '']; //not clickable!

Custom new Font on local file system – FireFox

look — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 19:55:30 +0000

If you try to use the new feature of CSS3, which links to any custom font you want, you probably didn't get what you expected when running on your local file system.

to fix it in firefox, do the following:
in the address URL type: about:config
this will lead you to the inner firefox configuration.
filter by: fileuri
find the line: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
double click, change to FALSE.
That's it, your firefox can read your local URI.
Have fun.

DB transfer from Windows to Linux

look — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:09:05 +0000

My personal PC at home is running Ubuntu. and i'm HAPPY as can be with it.
no more drivers install, no more viruses etc. all my development needs are met. stable as a rock.
but well, i'm not living alone in the world. some clients are still slaves of windows systems. what can i do.

my last client have a PHP system that for some reason was developed on Windows from the start. %#$%#&^ the mess!!!
well, while transferring the system to my loved Ubuntu, i noticed that most of the problems i have is that the TABLES NAMES in the php code are written in Uppercase…
well, windows have no problem with that, but on a Unix system – NO no no …
so, here is the solution. a small bash file, which do the follows:

prompt you for the DB name, user name and password.
create a text file with all the tables names in the DB (on local directory)
go over the names file, name by name, searching the Upper case name in all the files (recursively) in the directory tree under your running location and CHANGE each name to its lowercase version…

and the wonder – all the code is fixed…
no more upper case tables names.
well, it worked for me. hope it will help you too!

#!/bin/sh
read -p "Enter DB name: " db_name
read -p "Enter user name: " usr_name

echo `mysql -u $usr_name -p $db_name -e "SHOW TABLES FROM $db_name"` > $db_name"_tables.txt"

tbl_count=-1
for tbl_name in `cat $db_name"_tables.txt"`;
do tbl_count=$(($tbl_count+1));
#pass the title of the file
if [ $tbl_count = 0 ]
then continue
fi

lower_tbl_name=`echo $tbl_name | tr "{A-Z}" "{a-z}"`
upper_tbl_name=`echo $tbl_name | tr "{a-z}" "{A-Z}"`
grep -rl $upper_tbl_name ./ | xargs sed -i "s/$upper_tbl_name/$lower_tbl_name/g"
echo "$tbl_count: $upper_tbl_name : $lower_tbl_name";
done

And if you want to search the strings, ignoring CASE, just change line number 17 to:

grep -irl $upper_tbl_name ./ | xargs sed -i "s/$upper_tbl_name/$lower_tbl_name/i"

BiblioteQ compile and run – Ubuntu

look — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:41:48 +0000

procedure:
1. download the source directory to your computer (biblioteq.d)

2. open a terminal and navigate to the directory.

3. You\'ll need:
g++
make
sqlite3
Qt 4.7.4
YAZ
but most default installation do not have it. we will install each one when we need it.

4. run: qmake -o Makefile biblioteq.pro
this will create the needed Makefile

5. run: make
and start monitoring what is missing in your system:

if missing QT file regarding the ui, just make sure to install QTdesigner, this will install all needed libreries.

missing sqlie3.h :
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

missing yaz/zoom.h:
apt-get install libyaz4-dev

6. after successful make, a BiblioteQ executing file will be created. enjoy!

Create SQLite DB file

1. sqlite3 .db
