We are using self-hosted ActiveCollab v5.13.60 and I'm trying to generate a list of completed projects and tasks given a specific date. I've been toying with /whats-new/daily/ API request since it also gives a related object so I can pull in the project/task name easily.
From what I can tell the request only returns the last 50 items, if there are more than 50 items, then additional requests can be made with a ?page=X parameter.
Is there a way this request can return an un-paginated list, or all items for a given day?
Thanks!
Unfortunately not, you have to keep requesting the next page until there is nothing returned and then combine all of the results.
Within our in-house application, we have the following function (in PHP)
/**
* Get pages of data with passed url
* #param [string] $url The api endpoint
* #return [array] All your data
*/
function getPagedData($url) {
// Get all the projects in active collab
$page = 1;
$paged_records = array();
$paged_records_results = $this->activeCollabClient->get($url . '?page=' . $page)->getJson();
$paged_records = array_merge($paged_records, $paged_records_results);
// Loop through pages
while ($paged_records_results = $this->activeCollabClient->get($url . '?page=' . ++$page)->getJson()) {
$paged_records = array_merge($paged_records, $paged_records_results);
}
return $paged_records;
}
It can then be called, passing the URL. In your case it could be used like:
getPagedData('whats-news/daily');
You will then get an array returned with all of the information contained.

I am working on an app that requires a sync to the server after logging in to get all the activities the user has created and saved to the server. Currently, when the user logs in a getActivity() function that makes an API request and returns a response which is then handled.
Say the user has 4 activities saved on the server in this order (The order is determined by the time of the activity being created / saved) ;
Test
Bob
cvb
Testing
looking at the JSONHandler.getActivityResponse , it appears as though the the results are in the correct order. If the request was successful, on the home page where these activities are to be displayed, I currently loop through them like so;
WebAPIHandler.shared.getActivityRequest(completion:
{
success, results in DispatchQueue.main.async {
if(success)
{
for _ in (results)!
{
guard let managedObjectContext = self.managedObjectContext else { return }
let activity = Activity(context: managedObjectContext)
activity.name = results![WebAPIHandler.shared.idCount].name
print("activity name is - \(activity.name)")
WebAPIHandler.shared.idCount += 1
}
}
And the print within the for loop is also outputting in the expected order;
activity name is - Optional("Test")
activity name is - Optional("Bob")
activity name is - Optional("cvb")
activity name is - Optional("Testing")
The CollectionView does then insert new cells, but it seemingly in the wrong order. I'm using a carousel layout on the home page, and the 'cvb' object for example is appearing first in the list, and 'bob' is third in the list. I am using the following
func controller(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<NSFetchRequestResult>, didChange anObject: Any, at indexPath: IndexPath?, for type: NSFetchedResultsChangeType, newIndexPath: IndexPath?)
{
switch (type)
{
case .insert:
if var indexPath = newIndexPath
{
// var itemCount = 0
// var arrayWithIndexPaths: [IndexPath] = []
//
// for _ in 0..<(WebAPIHandler.shared.idCount)
// {
// itemCount += 1
//
// arrayWithIndexPaths.append(IndexPath(item: itemCount - 1, section: 0))
// print("itemCount = \(itemCount)")
// }
print("Insert object")
// walkThroughCollectionView.insertItems(at: arrayWithIndexPaths)
walkThroughCollectionView.reloadData()
}
You can see why I've tried to use collectionView.insertItems() but that would cause an error stating:
Invalid update: invalid number of items in section 0. The number of items contained in an existing section after the update (4) must be equal to the number of items contained in that section before the update (4), plus or minus the number of items inserted or deleted from that section (4 inserted, 0 deleted)
I saw a lot of other answers mentioning how reloadData() would fix the issue, but I'm real stuck at this point. I've been using swift for several months now, and this has been the first time I'm truly at a loss. What I also realised is that the order displayed in the carousel is also different to a separate viewController which is passed the same data. I just have no idea why the results return in the correct order, but are then displayed in an incorrect order. Is there a way to sort data in the collectionView after calling reloadData() or am I looking at this from the wrong angle?
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers!
The order of the collection view is specified by the sort descriptor(s) of the fetched results controller.
Usually the workflow of inserting a new NSManagedObject is
Insert the new object into the managed object context.
Save the context. This calls the delegate methods controllerWillChangeContent, controller(:didChange:at: etc.
In controller(:didChange:at: insert the cell into the collection view with insertItems(at:, nothing else. Do not call reloadData() in this method.
I am trying to automate API requests using postman. So first in POST request I wrote a test to store all created IDs in Environment : Which is passing correct.
var jsondata = JSON.parse(responseBody);
tests["Status code is 201"] = responseCode.code === 201;
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("BrandID", jsondata.brand_id);
Then in Delete request I call my Environment in my url like /{{BrandID}} but it is deleting only the last record. So my guess is that environment is keeping only the last ID? What must I do to keep all IDs?
Each time you call your POST request, you overwrite your environment variable
So you can only delete the last one.
In order to process multiple ids, you shall build an array by adding new id at each call
You may proceed as follows in your POST request
my_array = postman.getEnvironmentVariable("BrandID");
if (my_array === undefined) // first time
{
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("BrandID", jsondata.brand_id); // creates your env var with first brand id
}
else
{
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("BrandID", array + "," + jsondata.brand_id); // updates your env var with next brand id
}
You should end up having an environment variable like BrandId = "brand_id1, brand_id2, etc..."
Then when you delete it, you delete the complete array (but that depends on your delete API)
I guess there may be cleaner ways to do so, but I'm not an expert in Postman nor Javascript, though that should work (at least for the environment variable creation).

I am trying to set up a filter on my website. Here, I am trying to pass (2) variables (neighborhood and business category). My problem is when only (1) of them is true and the other is false or one variable does not exist. I am trying to pull this data from my URL
mydomain.com/controller/function/neighbrohood/biz-category
which translates
mydomain.com/ny/find/$neighborhood/$biz_filter
When I have both variables then there is no problem.
How do I resolve the page with only 1 of the 2 variables there?
Here is my model:
public function search($neighborhood = null, $biz_filter = null) {
$neighborhood = $this->uri->segment(3);
$biz_filter = $this->uri->segment(4);
// SELECT
$this->db->select('*');
// MAIN TABLE TO GRAB DATA
$this->db->from('biz');
// TABLES TO JOIN
$this->db->join('city', 'city.city_id = biz.biz_cityID');
$this->db->join('zip', 'zip.zip_id = biz.biz_zipID', 'zip.zip_cityID = city.city_id');
$this->db->join('state', 'state.state_id = city.city_stateID');
$this->db->join('neighborhood', 'biz.biz_neighborhoodID = neighborhood.neighborhood_id');
$this->db->join('biz_filter', 'biz_filter.bizfilter_bizID = biz.biz_id');
$this->db->join('biz_category', 'biz_filter.bizfilter_bizcategoryID = biz_category.bizcategory_id');
// RETURN VARIABLES
$this->db->where('neighborhood.neighborhood_slug', $neighborhood);
$this->db->where('biz_category.bizcategory_slug', $biz_filter);
// ORDER OF THE RESULTS
$this->db->order_by('biz_name asc');
// RUN QUERY
$query = $this->db->get();
// IF MORE THAN 0 ROWS ELSE DISPLAY 404 ERROR PAGE
if($query->num_rows() > 0){
return $query;
} else {
show_404('page');
}
}
Example. Say I am looking for a Restaurant in Little Italy:
URL = mydomain.com/ny/find/little-italy/restuarants
This part, I can resolve the query correctly and display the data. The issue is when there is no neighborhood or no category, I cannot figure out how to resolve the data.
I am new to codeigniter and a self-taught programmer, trying to figure this out as I go. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
first of all it is optional to get the variables from the uri
$neighborhood = $this->uri->segment(3);
$biz_filter = $this->uri->segment(4);
You already have that from your function parameter.
You can check the condition where your $neighborhood or $biz_filter is available or not then you can use condition in your query.
Something like this
if($neighborhood) { // query for neighborhood } elseif($biz_filter) {}
Thanks
First of all you should get the variable values from your controller not your model, you should then pass such values to your controller from your model, its bad coding practice to allow your view interact with the model.
Also, if you want a value of "-" set for the variable. You should set "-" as the return value right from the parameters being passed to the controller.
What you should do is go to your controller and give it the two parameters, set default values for both and also go to your model and make it receive two parameters also, pass the parameters to the model when calling from the controller. Then get back if there are any more errors.
The normal result() method described in the documentation appears to load all records immediately. My application needs to load about 30,000 rows, and one at a time, submit them to a third-party search index API. Obviously loading everything into memory at once doesn't work well (errors out because of too much memory).
So my question is, how can I achieve the effect of the conventional MySQLi API method, in which you load one row at a time in a loop?
Here is something you can do.
while ($row = $result->_fetch_object()) {
$data = array(
'id' => $row->id
'some_value' => $row->some_field_name
);
// send row data to whatever api
$this->send_data_to_api($data);
}
This will get one row at the time. Check the CodeIgniter source code, and you will see that they will do this when you execute the result() method.
For those who want to save memory on large result-set:
Since CodeIgniter 3.0.0,
There is a unbuffered_row function,
All the methods above will load the whole result into memory (prefetching). Use unbuffered_row() for processing large result sets.
This method returns a single result row without prefetching the whole result in memory as row() does. If your query has more than one row, it returns the current row and moves the internal data pointer ahead.
$query = $this->db->query("YOUR QUERY");
while ($row = $query->unbuffered_row())
{
echo $row->title;
echo $row->name;
echo $row->body;
}
You can optionally pass ‘object’ (default) or ‘array’ in order to specify the returned value’s type:
$query->unbuffered_row(); // object
$query->unbuffered_row('object'); // object
$query->unbuffered_row('array'); // associative array
Official Document: https://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/database/results.html#id2
Well, the thing is that result() gives away the entire reply of the query. row() simply fetches the first case and dumps the rest. However the query can still fetched 30 000 rows regardles of which function you use.
One design that would fit your cause would be:
$offset = (int)#$_GET['offset'];
$query = $this-db->query("SELECT * FROM table LIMIT ?, 1", array($offset));
$row = $query->row();
if ($row) {
/* Run api with values */
redirect(current_url().'?offset'.($offset + 1));
}
This would take one row, send it to api, update the page and use the next row. It will alos prevent the page from having a timeout. However it would most likely take a while with 30 000 records and refreshes, so you may wanna adjust your LIMIT ?, 1 to a higher number than 1 and go result() and foreach() multiple apis per pageload.
Well, there'se the row() method, which returns just one row as an object, or the row_array() method, which does the same but returns an array (of course).
So you could do something like
$sql = "SELECT * FROM yourtable";
$resultSet = $this->db->query($sql);
$total = $resultSet->num_rows();
for($i=0;$i<$total;$i++) {
$row = $resultSet->row_array($i);
}
This fetches in a loop each row from the whole result set.
Which is about the same as fetching everyting and looping over the $this->db->query($sql)->result() method calls I believe.
If you want a row at a time either you make 30.000 calls, or you select all the results and fetch them one at a time or you fetch all and walk over the array. I can't see any way out now.
I have read the documentation provided by the twitter, but it seem I haven't found how to limit the fields returned in my script.
here's my script
$url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/home_timeline.json';
$params['count'] = 1;
$params['oauth_version'] = '1.0';
$params['oauth_nonce'] = mt_rand();
$params['oauth_timestamp'] = time();
$params['oauth_consumer_key'] = $consumer_key;
$params['oauth_token'] = $access_token;
what params should I add?
There are few, if any, field (de)selectors for the Twitter API. Some timeline and tweet delivery methods support trim_user=true as a parameter to remove the fully embedded user objects but that's pretty much the only way to obtain less data per individual tweet object.
