I'm using a token for my API, the problem is that when the token is invalid (time to live < 0) there's no way to know it, so you go on and fill out a form and only when you submit it you get the message "invalid token" which is really annoyin. My idea is to write a script that checks the token's time to live every 10sec for example and then if it's invalid I can disable the forms for example or display a box to force the user to reload the page. Maybe you guys have better ideas , so please don't hesitate to share.
You can do this in a very simple way, I would guess you have an "expiration time" set on your server side for your token. You can just return this time and have a JS function check that value every x seconds or on every required action (open a pop/form/etc).
Probably when you return the token your json can look something like
{
token:"1234567890",
expire: "1427484624" //timestamp in seconds, easier to compare
}
Then your JS function can be something as simple as:
function isValidToken(token){
cTs=Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
return (token>=cTs);
}
and that way you can know very easily.

I'm creating an inactivity check for my bot where it sends a message to the user if X amount of minutes have passed since the last message he sent.
bot.dialog('SomeDialog',
function(session, args){
let text = "The text sent to the user";
session.send(text, session.message.text);
check(session); //The function where I send the session to do the checking
session.endDialog();
}
);
The check function is where the problem happens:
check(session){
if(!session.conversationData.talked){
session.conversationData.talked = 1;
}
}
When I run it, I always get
Cannot read property 'conversationData' of undefined
If I use session.conversationData.talked within the bot.dialog it works, but not on the check function.
What am I doing wrong here?
Your code snippet works fine on my side, maybe you can provide your whole picture of your porject for further analysis.
However, to your requirememnt, you can consider to use the node package botbuilder-timeout,
This could be an "async" timing issue. The session on your browser / server needs to be sync'd.
Is this JS server side, or browser side? And what framework is this intended for?
am using a JavaScript to connect users to the homepage after the processing page have finish loading and sent the user to the homepage of welcome.html but the fact is how do i end the session after the click the log out button, because after signing out and if they hit back they will still get back the welcome.html, i have try disabling the back button in the browser but that's not awesome, i just need to kill the session so that it won't get them back to the welcome.html after they sign out instead it goes back to login page and require them to sign back in to access the welcome.html, and in this fact am not using php or DB to connect the user login, am using javascript, i don't know if it could work maybe with php simple line of codes or tags.
Here is my JavaScript code, i use to connect the users:
function Login(FORM){
var done=0;
var username=document.login.username.value;
username=username.toLowerCase();
var password=document.login.password.value;
password=password.toLowerCase();
if (username=="jonson111" && password=="happy111") { window.location="HomeAccess_uche/processing.html"; done=1;}
if (username=="wilsonqaz" && password=="open123qaz") { window.location="HomeAccess_wilson/processing.html"; done=1; }
if (done==0) { alert("USERNAME OR PASSWORD IS NOT IN THE DATABASE PLEASE TRY AGAIN!"); }
}
am using dreamweaver and yes i know i will encrypt the Java codes so that users will not understand it, but i just need to end the session after they sign out, this have given me a hard time to figure out i have search everywhere in Google but nothing, anyone can help?
what ever you wrote is all about client side code. there is no point in worry about session , because you don't have a session at all. you are just using javascript. you don't have any server side code to handle session. anybody can see the user name and password by looking at your javascript code. More over once you redirect the page by window.location="HomeAccess_wilson/processing.html"; your " done=1; " and all the javascript variable will reset.
DISCLAIMER: This is a TERRIBLE IDEA. Your site will be completely unsecure. I am ONLY explaining a way to make it work so that a completely innocent, naive user would get the intended effect. Also, this will only work in modern browsers supporting local storage.
function save_login() {
localStorage.loggedIn = true;
}
function save_logout() {
localStorage.loggedIn = false;
}
Call those functions when they log in or log out, and then on every "secure" (but not really, this is totally unsecure) page you do
if (localStorage.loggedIn == false) {
window.location.href = "yoursite.com/login" //or whatever page you
//want to send them to
}
Evening! I'm trying to log in into a website with zombie.js, but I don't seem to be able to make it work.
Oh and the website is in Finnish, but it's not very hard to understand, two text fields and a button. First is for username, second for password and the button is the log in button.
At the moment my log in code is as follows:
var Browser = require("zombie");
browser = new Browser();
browser.visit("https://www.nordnet.fi/mux/login/startFI.html?cmpi=start-loggain",
function () {
// Here I check the title of the page I'm on.
console.log(browser.text("title"));
// Here I fill the needed information.
browser.document.getElementById("input1").value ="MYUSERNAME";
browser.document.getElementById("pContent").value ="MYPASSWORD";
// And here it fails. I try to submit the form in question.
browser.document.getElementById("loginForm").submit();
setTimeout(function () {
// This is here to check that we've submitted the info and have been
// redirected to a new website.
console.log(browser.text("title"));
}, 2000);
});
Now I know that I maybe should have used zombie's own "fill" method, but I tried that with no luck so I tried something new.
All I get from this is an error:
Y:\IMC\Development\Web\node_modules\zombie\lib\zombie\forms.js:72
return history._submit(_this.getAttribute("action"), _this.getAttribute(
^
TypeError: Cannot call method '_submit' of undefined
Now if I log that browser.document.getElementById("loginForm") it clearly does find the form, but alas, it doesn't like it for some reason.
I also tried the "conventional" method with zombie, which is using that log in button on the web page and pressing it. The problem is that it's not actually a button, just an image which has a link attached to it, and it's all inside <span>. And I have no idea how I can "click" that button.
It has no ID on it, so I can't use that, then I tried to use the text on it, but because it has umlauts on it I can't get it to work. Escaping the ä with /344 only gave an error:
throw new Error("No BUTTON '" + selector + "'");
^
Error: No BUTTON 'Kirjaudu sisään'
So yeah, that didn't work, though I have no idea why it doesn't recognize the escaped umlaut correctly.
This is my first question, the second one is a minor one, but I though why not ask it here too now that I've written this text.
If I get all this to work, can I somehow copy the cookie that this log in gives me, and use that in my YQL for screen scraping? Basically I'm trying to scrape stock market values, but without the log in the values are 15min deferred, which isn't too bad, but I'd like it to be live anyhow.
After couple of tests using zombie I came to the conclusion that it's still to early to use it for serious testing. Nevertheless, I came up with working example of form submit (using regular .submit() method).
var Browser = require("zombie");
var assert = require("assert");
browser = new Browser()
browser.visit("http://duckduckgo.com/", function () {
// fill search query field with value "zombie"
browser.fill('input[name=q]', 'mouse');
// **how** you find a form element is irrelevant - you can use id, selector, anything you want
// in this case it was easiest to just use built in forms collection - fire submit on element found
browser.document.forms[0].submit();
// wait for new page to be loaded then fire callback function
browser.wait().then(function() {
// just dump some debug data to see if we're on the right page
console.log(browser.dump());
})
});
As you can see, the clue is to use construct browser.wait().then(...) after submitting the form, otherwise browser object will still refer to the initial page (the one passed as an argument to visit method). Note: history object will contain address of page you submitted your form to even if you don't wait for the page to load - it confused me for a bit, as I was sure that I should already see the new page.
Edit:
For your site, the zombie seems to be working ok (I could submit the form and get "wrong login or password" alert). There are some JS errors but zombie isn't concerned with them (you should debug those however to see if the script are working ok for regular users). Anyhow, here's the script I used:
var Browser = require("zombie");
var assert = require("assert");
browser = new Browser()
browser.visit("https://www.nordnet.fi/mux/login/startFI.html?cmpi=start-loggain", function () {
// fill in login field
browser.fill('#input1', 'zombie');
// fill in password field
browser.fill('#pContent', 'commingyourway');
// submit the form
browser.document.forms[0].submit();
// wait for new page to be loaded then fire callback function
browser.wait().then(function() {
console.log('Form submitted ok!');
// the resulting page will be displayed in your default browser
browser.viewInBrowser();
})
});
As side note: while I was trying to come up with working example I've tried to user following pages (all have failed for different reasons):
google.com - even though I filled query box with a string and submitted the form I didn't get search results . Reason? Probably google took some measures to prevent automatic tools (such as zombie) to browse through search results.
bing.com - same as google - after submitting the form I didn't get search results. Reason? Probably same as for google.
paulirish.com - After filling in the search query box and submitting the form zombie encountered script errors that prevent it from completing the page (something about missing ActiveX from charts script).
perfectionkills.com - Surprisingly here I've encountered the same problems as with Paul Irish site - page with search results couldn't be loaded due to javascript errors.
Conclusion: It's not so easy to force zombie into doing your work after all... :)
Im building a site at the moment.
On the layout there are 3 flags for different countries.
Im wondering how i would go about displaying content based on what the user selects, and keeping that selection each time they come back to the site.
Obviously the first time they come to the site the default english will be shown, but once they click on a flag it would change.
Im taking im going to have to use javascript and cookies, i have been looking around and cant seem to find any examples, im wondering if someone could show me how to go about this.
Thanks
Cookies seems like the right idea:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=javascript+cookies
There are (probably) only two ways of doing this:
Cookies (i.e. mostly anonymous users)
Registration and getting users to login
For your needs, it sounds as though cookies would be enough.
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html is absolutely worth reading from beginning to end.
I am giving a abstract idea of how i might do it..
In the html you write, put a javascript function which sets the flag's id in the browser cookie when you click the flag and then submit the request..
function setCookie(flag_id) //call this when the flag is clicked
{
var allcookies = document.cookie;
if(allcookies)
{
document.cookie += ';flagId=' + flag_id;
}
else
{
document.cookie='flagId=' + flag_id;
}
/*submit the form or whatever you would like to do when the flag is clicked*/
}
Thats it on the client part. You can specify the expiration time for the cookie as well.. for details you can refer the w3schools website. The cookie will stay in the browser and sent to the server on every request.
Now, on the server side, if you are using servlets, just use the following code to get the cookie in the doPost or doGet (in your case when the first request comes from the client).
.....
Cookies[] cookies = request.getCookies();
String flagId = null;
if(cookies != null)
{
for(String cookie:cookies)
{
if(cookie.getName().equals("flagId"))
{
flagId = cookie.getValue();
}
}
}
//use the flag id to decide your content here..
....
Hope this answers your question.
What I want to do is to have a form field that allows a person to try to guess from a picture what type of bird it is, and if they get it right, it tells them they got it right and gives them the code to be able to get a discount.
Here is the code I'm using within the head tags:
formCheck()
{
var birdName = document.forms[0].birdName.value
if (birdName == "red bellied woodpecker")
alert("That's Correct! Please enjoy 10% off your next purchase by entering the code NAMETHATBIRD92 during checkout.")
else
alert("That's isn't the correct answer! Make sure your answer is very specific and keep trying, you can guess as many times as you want.")
}
Here is what I have within the body tag:
Can you name this bird?
It works here:
www.madhatwebsolutions.com/namethatbird.html
It does not work here, where I really need it to work:
http://www.wildbirdsmarketplace.com/pages/Name-That-Bird!.html
This shouldn't be JavaScript.
Any potential customer will be able to right click and view your JavaScript source and retrieve the code without bothering with the guesswork.
You'll need to query a server with the user input, and the server will need to return a response indicating whether this input is correct or not.
You might want to look at either a normal HTML form submission, or venture into AJAX
Workflow:
User enters guess into textfield
Launch a request to http://yourserver.com/check_bird.your_server_language?guess=theTextFieldValue
Server returns either a success or failure indication
Display response to client
Other things to consider: Are you going to allow your customers to guess multiple times, or restrict them? Are you going to be showing several different birds or not?
in http://www.wildbirdsmarketplace.com/pages/Name-That-Bird!.html
<script type="text/javascript" src="birdname.js"></script> refers to 404 - check the file path
don't use document.forms
var birdName = document.getElementById('birdName').value;
