PHPExcel - Render HTML markups on output - javascript
In my site I have several forms using CKEditor to store it's data. So when I export all the content, in excel I can see markups all over my document. Is there an easy way to convert those to \n or somehow have PHPExcel recognize them as breaks?
I also tried changing the export type to Excel2007 thinking that maybe Excel could just simply render the HTML markup, however when I switch types my report just crashes. So im sticking with Excel5.
Any help would be appreciated.

MS Excel has no concept of HTML Markup within a cell, it's simply a string value.... storing a value like ABC<br />DEF will simply be treated as a string containing ABC<br />DEF and not as two lines containing ABC and DEF respectively. If you want it to be treated as two lines then you need to change the <br /> to "\n". You also need to set the cell alignment to wrap.

Display Image from RSS Feed
I'm parsing an RSS feed using rss-parser, displaying the results in a list. The data is added to the state as such: async getJobsData() { let feed = await parser.parseURL( "https://weworkremotely.com/categories/remote-design-jobs.rss" ); this.setState({ data: feed.items }); } The text fields are easy, as these come in as <pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2019 10:36:42 +0000</pubDate>, and are added to their respective list items using <span key={index}>{data.pubDate}</span>. The response for images is formatted differently though. It's inserted into the generic content response, as the first item. title: [...] pubDate: [...] content: "<img src="https://we-work-remotely.imgix.net/logos/0015/7503/logo.gif?ixlib=rails-2.1.3&w=50&h=50&dpr=2&fit=fill&auto=compress" alt="Logo.gif?ixlib=rails 2.1" /> How would I extract only the URL (https://we-work-remotely.imgix.net/logos/0015/7503/logo.gif?) from that field?
You can use DOMParser to parse the text representation into a DOM. The code snippet below will print img.src. const imgText = `<img src="https://we-work-remotely.imgix.net/logos/0015/7503/logo.gif?ixlib=rails-2.1.3&w=50&h=50&dpr=2&fit=fill&auto=compress" alt="Logo.gif?ixlib=rails 2.1" />` const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(imgText, 'text/html') console.log(doc.body.firstElementChild.src)
You can use HTML parser e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-html-parser and get the src attribute.

How can I read the dates from this variable ? I need to convert it into JSON to be used by the script. I need all the exceptions - the value and date ( For instance, 131 is the exception and 40218 is the date ). Thank you,
This is how I did this in PHP Parse the data with a nested parenthesis class https://gist.github.com/Xeoncross/4710324 Then deal with the time intervals if( preg_match('~^s\|([0-9]+):([0-9]+)\|f\|([0-9]+):([0-9]+)$~', $string, $match) ) { // Start and finish times $interval[] = array( 's' => array( 't' => $match[1].':'.$match[2], 'h' => (int)$match[1], 'm' => (int)$match[2], ), 'f' => array( 't' => $match[3].':'.$match[4], 'h' => (int)$match[3], 'm' => (int)$match[4], ) ); }
MPXJ reads this data. The relevant code can be found starting here https://github.com/joniles/mpxj/blob/master/src/net/sf/mpxj/primavera/PrimaveraReader.java#L181 which I suspect you can translate easily enough into Javascript.

format json data for flot graph array
I am pulling temperature sensor data from a MySQL db into a php file using the following php code: <?php $hostname = 'xxxxx'; $username = 'xxxxx'; $password = 'xxxxx'; $dbname="measurements"; $usertable="temperature"; try { $dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=measurements", $username, $password); /*** The SQL SELECT statement ***/ $sth = $dbh->prepare(" SELECT

remaining rows in the result set */ $result = $sth->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); /*** close the database connection ***/ $dbh = null; } catch(PDOException $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); } function make_pair($date, $amount) { return array($date, $amount); } $json_data = json_encode($result, JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK); ?> I am then using javascript to plot this data in a flot graph: <script

the php page but no data is displayed. If I hard code the data into the variable dataset1 using the following formatting then a graph appears. [[1, 300], [2, 600], [3, 550], [4, 400], [5, 300]]; I believe the problem could be due to my formatting of the json data within the php section and therefore need to format it for flot graph plotting. My apologies as I am new to flot graphs and have attempted many of the similar solutions within stackoverflow before I posted this question (my first here) but without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Flot expects your dataset to be in a different format than the one you're passing in. I got it working by looping over your current dataset (your last example) to put it in the right format. var dataset1 = [{"temperature":"19.6","dtg":"2016-07-28

i < dataset1.length; i++) { dataset2.push( [ Date.parse(dataset1[i].dtg), parseFloat(dataset1[i].temperature) ] ); } //plot $(document).ready(function () { $.plot( $("#placeholder"), [dataset2], // wrap data series in a container { xaxis: { mode: "time" } } ); }); <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flot/0.7/jquery.flot.min.js"></script> <div id="placeholder" style="width:600px; height:400px; float: left;"></div> After var dataset2 = [];, the loop unpacks each element in your dataset and creates a [date, temp] data point to add to the array. I had to parse both the date and the float, since Flot expects numeric data, not strings. That creates one data series. You can plot multiple data series in Flot, so note that I had to wrap that series in another container in the call to plot. (In other words, that container could have had [dataset2, dataset3, ..., datasetX].) The last step that was needed was to set { mode: "time" } on the x-axis.
How to get the value of a content type field in Drupal and pass it to a JS file
In my Drupal theme I have a field for soundCloud URL which its machine name is (field_soundcloud_url_) I have a javascript file that will work based of the value of this variable. But it does not work. Here is how I tried to do it: page.tpl.php <?php $node = node_load($nid); $sound_cloud_url = $node->field_soundcloud_url_['und'][0]['value']; drupal_add_js(array('my_module' => array('sound_cloud_url' => $sound_cloud_url)), 'setting'); ?> JS File Drupal.settings.my_module.sound_cloud_url Am I doing it correctly? Any idea?
It is probably because you are doing it in the template, it is too late by this stage. Do it in a HOOK_node_view in a custom module. function HOOK_node_view($node, $view_mode, $langcode) { if ($node->type=="blahblah"){ $sound_cloud_url = $node->field_soundcloud_url_['und'][0]['value']; drupal_add_js(array('my_module' => array('sound_cloud_url' => $sound_cloud_url)), 'setting'); } }
