There is a good example of using nested Scriplaculous Sortables. With one little flaw – Scriplaculous ver 1.6.x is used, and when you try to execute the code with newer version of library – sections.each is not a function error pops up.

Here is the way to fix it – you’ll probably need it if you want to save the results

Just replace “document.getElementsByClassName(’section’);” to “$$(‘.section’);”

Before

function getGroupOrder() {
	var sections = document.getElementsByClassName('section');
	var alerttext = '';
	sections.each(function(section) {
		var sectionID = section.id;
		var order = Sortable.serialize(sectionID);
		alerttext += sectionID + ': ' + Sortable.sequence(section) + '\n';
	});
	alert(alerttext);
	return false;
}

After

function getGroupOrder() {
	var sections = $$('.section');
	var alerttext = '';
	sections.each(function(section) {
		var sectionID = section.id;
		var order = Sortable.serialize(sectionID);
		alerttext += sectionID + ': ' + Sortable.sequence(section) + '\n';
	});
	alert(alerttext);
	return false;
}

Then modify it for your needs and go on )

What was that?
Quote:

As of Prototype 1.6, document.getElementsByClassName has been deprecated since native implementations return a NodeList rather than an Array.

Today I used to find an strange bug in pretty little fine-looking-hints library, called BoxOver from here. As you know, for the chars ", [ and ] with this library you must use ", [[ and ]] to display… It works, but only once for brackets.

So, I tried to find a fix… None found. At the forum some guy gave an ugly fix with &rbr; and so on…

Shame on you guys, did you ever heard of regexp syntax?

Here’s the BoxOver library with fixed [ and ] brackets display:

Download BoxOver 2.1a javascript library (28th May 2008)

BTW, when I tried to register on forum to post my fix – I can’t – because of captcha insult, and that’s why I posted it here.

Now you want it back, and your pages are utf-8 encoded, but when you queries the base, �?’ sign returned instead of your cute symbols. Shit.

Never mind, if you can see those chars with PhpMyAdmin – I’ll help you to convert them to use them.

First, mysql5 seems to be utf-8 lover (even if other charset is claimed). So – it’s simple. Just exec SET NAMES utf8 right after database initialisation.

Second, query all the data you need into array.

Third, just do utf8_encode on data with your loved scrap

Forth, exec SET NAMES latin1

Fifth – write your data back

Sixth – tell your application to use utf8_decode when reading and utf8_encode when writing those data.

That’s all – now you can easilly transfer your data to MySQL4* or MySQL5 servers – and your app will work there!

Example:

// init skipped 
 
/*********************************** 
 * Database connect 
 **********************************/ 
$o_db = new myDB(DB::connect(DB_DSN)); 
$o_db->db_setFetchMode(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC); 
$o_db->db_query('SET NAMES utf8'); 
 
$q = 'SELECT page_id, page_head_title, page_head_description, page_head_keywords 
  FROM '.DB_PREFIX.'pages 
'; 
foreach ($page as $k => $p) 
  foreach (array('page_head_title', 'page_head_description', 'page_head_keywords') as $field) 
    $page[$k][$field] = utf8_encode($p[$field]); 
$o_db->db_query('SET NAMES latin1'); 
 
foreach ($page as $p) 
{ 
  $up = 'UPDATE '.DB_PREFIX.'pages 
    SET 
    page_head_title = '.$o_db->db_quote($p['page_head_title']).', 
    page_head_description = '.$o_db->db_quote($p['page_head_description']).', 
    page_head_keywords = '.$o_db->db_quote($p['page_head_keywords']).', 
    WHERE page_id = '.$o_db->db_quote($p['page_id']).' 
  '; 
  $o_db->db_query($up); 
}

Just another little quote:

We were under the understanding that coding would have been complete and we were to have seen your work late last week

Yeah, right. Do you mean next week?

Php 4 had no human usable XML handling implementation.
And almost all libraries it’s a mess…

I found one good article about it, but it’s in russian.
OK, I’ll try to translate it later (maybe only examples  )

And as for me – I found what i wanted. Small and effective library.

Here it is under more tag

<?php
 $p ="&" new xmlparser();
 $p->parse("/* XML file*/");
 print_r($p->output);
 
class xmlParser{
   var $xml_obj = null;
   var $output = array();
   var $attrs;
 
   function xmlParser(){
       $this->xml_obj = xml_parser_create();
       xml_set_object($this->xml_obj,$this);
       xml_set_character_data_handler($this->xml_obj, 'dataHandler');
       xml_set_element_handler($this->xml_obj, "startHandler", "endHandler");
   }
 
   function parse($path){
       if (!($fp = fopen($path, "r"))) {
           die("Cannot open XML data file: $path");
           return false;
       }
 
       while ($data = fread($fp, 4096)) {
           if (!xml_parse($this->xml_obj, $data, feof($fp))) {
               die(sprintf("XML error: %s at line %d",
               xml_error_string(xml_get_error_code($this->xml_obj)),
               xml_get_current_line_number($this->xml_obj)));
               xml_parser_free($this->xml_obj);
           }
       }
 
       return true;
   }
 
   function startHandler($parser, $name, $attribs){
        $_content = array();
        $_content['name'] = $name;
        if(!empty($attribs))
            $_content['attrs'] = $attribs;
        array_push($this->output, $_content);
}
 
   function dataHandler($parser, $data){
        if(!empty($data) && $data!="\n") {
            $_output_idx = count($this->output) - 1;
            $this->output[$_output_idx]['content'] .= $data;
        }
   }
 
   function endHandler($parser, $name){
        if(count($this->output) > 1) {
            $_data = array_pop($this->output);
            $_output_idx = count($this->output) - 1;
            $add = array();
            if(!$this->output[$_output_idx]['child'])
                $this->output[$_output_idx]['child'] = array();
            array_push($this->output[$_output_idx]['child'], $_data);
        }  
   }
}
?>
