I try to create a link field to let user input external link (e.g http://www.example.com:1000/test=https://www.check.com, however, when I display the link in a view or display on front page, I find the url become http://www.example.com:1000/test=https%3A//www.check.com so make the url not work. Does anyone know how to avoid?
Regards,
Tony
Hello Tony this is standard URL behavior, not specific to Drupal. In general, it is bad practice to use a : in a URL.
My personal recommendation would be to adjust the expected input for your test parameter to not include the https:// portion of the input URL.

I got a site, say it's "www.site.com". I need to serve a text file at the root, so that "www.site.com/text.txt" will show up.
I read through this answer: Django download a file, and I used the "download" function.
However I am at a loss how to configure the URL. Can someone help me out?
Say I put this this into my url.py,
url('^(?P<path>.*)/$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
This then supersedes all my other url patterns and render them useless. How do I make this work? Thanks!
Put it as the last urlpattern in your urls.py to ensure it doesn't sccop up everything. It should not have the trailing / either, i.e.
url('^(?P<path>.*)/?$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
This will match the request "/YOUR_FILE.txt", and is also case-insensitive.
url(r'^(?i)YOUR_FILE.txt$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
I have a jmeter test plan that goes to a site's sitemap.xml page, retrieves each url on that page with an XPath Extractor, then passes ${url} to a HTTP Request sampler within a ForEach Controller to send the results for each page to a file. This works great, except I just realized that the links on this sitemap.xml page are hardcoded. This is a problem when i want to test https://staging-website.com, but all of the links on sitemap.xml are all www.website.com pages. It seems like there must be a way to replace 'www.website.com' in each ${url} with 'staging-website.com' with regex or something, but I haven't been able to figure out how. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Add a BeanShell pre-processor to manipulate the url.
String sUrl = vars.get("url");
String sNewUrl = sUrl.replace("www.website.com", "https://staging-website.com");
log.info("sNewUrl:" + sNewUrl);
vars.put("url", sNewUrl);
You can also try to correlate the sitemap.xml with the regular expression extractor positioned till www.website.com so that you extract only the URL portion of the data instead of the full host name. Shouldn't you be having it already since the HTTPSampler only allows you to enter the URI segment and not the host name?
You can use __strReplace() function available via JMeter Plugins project like:
${__strReplace(${url},${url},staging-website.com,)}
Demo:
The easiest way to install JMeter Custom Functions (as well as any other plugins) is using JMeter Plugins Manager
I was able to replace the host within the string by putting
${__javaScript('${url}'.replace('www.website'\,'staging.website'))}
in the path input of the second http request sampler. The answers provided by Selva and Dimitri were more elegant, so if I have time in the future to come back to this I will give them another try. I really appreciate the help!
Recently, we restructured a large site of one of our customers. This caused all the news-articels on that site to be on a different place. Problem is that the google cache is still showing them on the old location, leading to A LOT of 404 not founds ( its about 1400 news entries ).
Normally, a redirect using somewhat simple regex would be fine, but not only the path to the news did change, but also some parameters. Example:
Old Url:
http://www.customers-url.com/old/path/to/the/news/details/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=67&cHash=a782f3027c4d00face6df122a76c38ed
How the new url should look like:
http://www.customers-url.com/new/path/to/news/?tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=65
As you can see, the parameter D did change from 67 to 65 and the part of the URL before the ? did also change. Also, tx_ttnews has changed to tx_news and tt_news changed to news and the &cHash part did fall away completely.
I have the changed ids in a csv in the following format:
old_id, new_id
1,2
2,3
...etc...
Same goes the the changed url part before the ?. Since im not exactly an expert in using regex my question is:
Can this be done inside the .htaccess using RegEx ( not sure if it can even use a file as input)? How complicated is that? And how would such a regular expression look like?
Rather than trying to use .htaccess, it would be easier to manage and easier to code if you simply make a new page that responds on the old url (/old/path/to/the/news/details), then make that page build the new url and return a 301 to the browser with that new url.
I am using www.slideshare.net to allow my users to display embedded slideshows on their profiles.
I'm using slideshare's api to get the slideshow's id, given the slideshow link that users has to get by clicking 'share' on the slideshow and copy/paste the url:
What I would need is to validate thoroughly the latter url.
Just to further explain my process, when I have the slideshow's id, I compute the embedded code like so :
"<iframe src='https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/" + json.slideshow_id + "' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozillaallowfullscreen></iframe>"
where json is the object returned by slideshare's api.
A basic regex to answer my question would be:
^http\://www\.slideshare\.net/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+/[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+$
But it feels a little weak to me :
I don't want my users to just copy/paste the url in the navigator address bar
I'm not sure this regex works for all slideshare's slideshows as I'm not a slideshare specialist (does that even exist?)
Ideally I would like to exclude all other regular urls from www.slideshare.net that doesn't point to a slideshow.
EDIT 7/12/2014: rewrite
You can use something like this:
(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,#?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\#?^=%&/~\+#])?

I'm trying to display a block of code only if the parameter ?staff is appended to URL, e.g.:
display Link only if the current URL was loaded with www.blank.com/folder/?staff
Any thoughts?
I don't believe there is any kind of performance difference, but to me it's best practices to use StructKeyExists(url,'staff') rather than isDefined("url.staff"). Either one will definitely get the job done though.
You don't need to parse the url with a regex, It should be in the url variable already if defined
<cfif IsDefined("URL.staff")>
