I am working on a app that uses a json response from my Zend Framework 1.10 website. I want to track how many times the Json Action is hit?
If there is no true way to do this from just the action that is not reflected the json response.
I would suppose you are using Jquery to illustrate my idea ,
I would track both success and error function of jquery using google analytics events
example : pageTracker._trackEvent(category, action, opt_label, opt_value );
Guide : http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/eventTrackerGuide.html
$.ajax({
......... some jquery code here .....
success:function(){
......... Jquery code ...........
/*lets show some magic */
pageTracker._trackEvent("JSON", "SUCCESS", "Loaded" , 1 );
},
error:function(){
.......... Jquery code ...........
pageTracker._trackEvent("JSON", "FAILD", "why it faild " , 0 );
}
})
at the end of the day , go to Events on you GA Account
you would see handy results as you would expect :)
you can track ( click , AJAX Request , Page load time , Banner & many other smart ideas )
another tip : you might use what GA Marketers used to do
this is the most easiest one to make
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578
just append it to your AJAX request and watch the magic :)
Twitter using this idea in the mailing notification
example :
http://twitter.com/*********?utm_campaign=newfollow20100823&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=email&utm_source=follow
You can track any action with GA by having a special page with tracking code for it that you load into an iframe when the action takes place.
If you need more actions you can have something like trackAction.php?action=myAction.

Just use the measurement protocol from the back end, create a hash and post it.
The following parameters are required for each payload:
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/protocol/v1/devguide
v=1 // Version.
&tid=UA-XXXX-Y // Tracking ID / Property ID.
&cid=555 // Anonymous Client ID.
&t= // Hit Type.
p = {}
HTTParty.post('http://www.google-analytics.com/collect', body: p)

I have a problem for writing tests for conditional cases. One of the test uses the api in 'before' (beforeAll) function to create an object, and then in test the object that was created is not shown in searching result sometimes. I was using puppeteer before. I can let the page reload until the object shows in the search result. However, there is no way for me to do the same thing. I was thinking of using cy.get and then checking the response. For instance, (cy.get('sth').then(s1 => {do something like cy.reload()})).
Then, I found out that s1 always kept the same after reload. So, I am stuck. Hope someone give me a hand to it. If the description is not clear, please the my another post below. Thanks
Im sorry but the problem is in your before function. You gotta start it only when you are done preparing your environments to run your test.
const createPerson = (params, done)=>{
cy.request({// create people here}).then(({people})=>{
done(undefined, {people});
})
}
before((done)=> {
createPerson({}, (err, {people})=>{
cy.visit('mywebsite);
login({}, done); // this should be async as well
});
})
it('search person I created by calling api', () => {
//if you data is not cached, at this point you will have the people populated in your screen.
cy.get('.search')
.type('person's name{enter}');
cy.get(':nth-child(1) > resulttable').click();
Based on what I'm gathering from your post, I think something like this may help:
cy.get('some.selector').then(elem => {
// ...
});
cy.reload();
cy.get('some.selector').then(elem => {
// run code on element after reloading...
});
If this does not answer your question, please consider making a minimal, complete and verifiable example.
My bad. I didn't explain my problem well. The problem is not in before() function. In before() function, I call post API to create persons.
Then, I will use those persons created in before() function in each of my tests.
The code would look like:
before(()=> {createPerson(); cy.visit('mywebsite); login();} )
it('search person I created by calling api', () => {
cy.get('.search')
.type('person's name{enter}');
cy.get(':nth-child(1) > resulttable').click();
Here is the problem. I can't find the person in search result since the data needs time to be passed. Then, the test fails.
So, I need reload the page (The page is searching result page) by calling
cy.reload();
However, I don't know how many reload I need to call above to let the person show up in the searching result.
The current solution I used is to cy.wait(30000). wait 30 seconds.
So, I am wondering how I am going to do right now.
I have built a MVCPortlet that runs on Liferay 6.2.
It uses a PortletPReferences page that works fine to set/get String preferences parameters via the top right configuration menu.
Now I would need to store there a String[] instead of a regular String.
It seems to be possible as you can store and get some String[] via
portletPreferences.getValues("paramName", StringArrayData);
I want the data to be stored from a form multiline select.
I suppose that I need to call my derived controller (derived from DefaultConfigurationAction) and invoke there portletPreferences.setValues(String, String[]);
If so, in the middle, I will neeed the config jsp to pass the String[] array to the controller via a
request.setAttribute(String, String[]);
Do you think the app can work this way in theory?
If so, here are the problems I encountered when trying to make it work:
For any reason, in my config jsp,
request.setAttribute("paramName", myStringArray);
does not work ->
actionRequest.getAttribute("paramName")
retrieves null in my controller
This is quite a surprise as this usually works.
Maybe the config.jsp works a bit differently than standard jsps?
Then, how can I turn my multiline html select into a String[] attribute?
I had in mind to call a JS function when the form is submitted.
this JS function would generate the StringArray from the select ID (easy)
and then would call the actionURL (more complicated).
Is it possible?
thx in advance.
In your render phase (e.g. in config.jsp) you can't change the state of your portlet - e.g. I wouldn't expect any attributes to persist that are set there. They might survive to the end of the render phase, but not persist to the next action call. From a rendered UI to action they need to be part of a form, not request attributes.
You can store portletpreferences as String[], no problem, see the API for getting and setting them
I think maybe you can use an array in client side, and you can update the javascript array, when user is selecting new values.
So you have the javascript array, then when user click on the action, you can execute the action from javascript also, something like this:
Here "products" is the array with your products.
A.io.request(url, {type: 'POST',
data: {
key: products
},
on: {
success: function(event, id, obj) {
}
}
});
From Action methd you can try to get the parameter with:
ParamUtil.getParameterValues(request,"key");
I 'm going to make a CakePHP application which collaborates with a mobile application. Mobile application is going to query CakePHP app to check if some vouchers are valid or not. I need to change some of my views such that their outputs be in json format in order to be parsed by mobile application easily.
To be specific if mobile app calles example.com/vouchers/check/1234 Cake should return something like this as response: {"validity":"valid"} or {"validity":"invalid"} which is the result of checking the validity of voucher with id 1234.
Basically, you should use extensions when you expect non HTML responses (JSON in this case)
So request
/vouchers/check/1234.json
and use the JsonView as per docs and as per ajax-and-cakephp tutorial.
To sum it up:
Use this to allow json extension being enabled:
Router::parseExtensions();
Router::setExtensions(array('json', ...));
Don't forget to include the RequestHandler component in the controllers $components list.
Add this to your action:
$data = array(
'validity' => ...,
);
$this->set(compact('data')); // Pass $data to the view
$this->set('_serialize', 'data'); // Let the JsonView class know what variable to use
so I'm trying to make a call to a bible verse API in my Meteor application. I made a template with name="display", with a simple {{checkitout}} in the template.
Then for the template, I tried to make the call in its corresponding helper. It looks like this (in coffeescript, but Javascript readers should understand as well):
#Template.display.helpers
checkitout:->
result = Meteor.http.call("GET","http://labs.bible.org/api/passage=john%203:2&type=json")
console.log(result)
The URL is a JSON of a bible verse, but the problem is, the Meteor.http.call requires a third argument, a "callback" (because this is in the client folder). I read some documentation + examples and have no idea what it means.
Also, if I call it like this, is result exactly the JSON file, or do I need to fit it within a new hash? And what does a callback mean? Can someone give me an example?
As helpers are synchronous and API calls are not, you need to store the call result in a reactive variable and return it from the helper:
verse = "Loading..."
verseLoaded = false
verseDep = new Deps.Dependency()
Template.Display.checkItOut = ->
verseDep.depend()
unless verseLoaded
verseLoaded = true
Meteor.http.get "...", (error, result) ->
verse = "..."
verseDep.changed()
verse
On the client, the callback is required as you said. So this is something you could do to query an API and display the JSON result:
Template.Display.helpers
checkItOut: ->
Meteor.http.get 'https://graph.facebook.com/facebook', (error, result) ->
if not error
console.log result # display the the open graph result
Note 1: To use these functions, you need to add the HTTP package to your project with $ meteor add http. You can find further information in the documentation.
Note 2: In your situation, you cannot make an API call client-side due to the Access-Control-Allow-Origin Policy. So, the solution would be to use a method and make the call server-side.
# Client-side
Template.Display.helpers
checkItOut: ->
Meteor.call 'getBibleText', (error, result) ->
if not error
console.log result
# Server-side (server directory)
Meteor.methods
'getBibleText': ->
result = HTTP.get 'http://labs.bible.org/api/?passage=john%203:2&type=xml'
return result
I am a beginner to Magento. I am trying to extend the current API classes in Magento to fulfill my requirements and retrieve data in JSON format. I need:
I need to get all stores in a website
I need to get all Categories and Subcategories in a specific store
I need to get all products in a specific Category.
All data retrieved should be in JSON format.
Any blog/Forum topic? Any kind of help?
Thanks in advance.
Please refer to this Magento wiki page http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/doc/webservices-api/custom-api#creating_custom_adapter_for_api.
Steps:
You need to create a new API Server Adapter that should implement Mage_Api_Model_Server_Adapter_Interface.
Create a controller that will run your api server adapter
Implement Mage_Api_Model_Server_Adapter_Interface::run() method for process JSON request and return result in JSON. See Mage_Api_Model_Server_Handler_Abstract for understanding Magento API workflow.
never been is such situation , but an idea came to mind is to invoke a SOAP service or XML-RPC , then convert whatever data needed to JSON.
Magento offers SOAP or XML-RPC web service to be automatically generated with specific roles for users, very useful.
That would be a better approach and it is not at all complicated. Refer to this to see.

There is even Random Products list
Is it what you want?
//
// Random Products Items
//
// http://localhost/magento/web-api.php?route=feed/web_api/random&limit=4&key=key1
//
function random_products($limit){
$json = array('success' => true);
$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
$products->addAttributeToSelect(array('name', 'thumbnail', 'price')); //feel free to add any other attribues you need.
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_status')->addVisibleFilterToCollection($products);
Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product_visibility')->addVisibleInCatalogFilterToCollection($products);
$products->getSelect()->order('RAND()')->limit($limit);
foreach($products as $product){
$json['products'][] = array(
'id' => $product->getId(),
'name' => $product->getName(),
'href' => $product->getProductUrl(),
'thumb' => (string)Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'thumbnail'),
'pirce' => Mage::helper('core')->currency($product->getPrice(), true, false) //." ".$currencyCode,
);
}
return $json;
