Imacro Delete only the cookies (Not CLEAR)? - imacros

I need a methode to delete all Cookies but dont delete Hystory and Cache.
The Background is:
My problem is that my Imacro Script needs a Firefox configuration that is not Default, but uses CLEAR to delete cookies, and CLEAR resets the configuration to default.
Is there a way to solve my Problem?

If you're using the JavaScript Scripting Interface in 'iMacros' for Firefox, the following code may be helpful:
Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");
var allCoookies = Services.cookies;
allCoookies.removeAll();

Can't refresh CFC CF9 when using an application.cfm

I was charged with making some modification to an old application, and I created a new page which was being passed a URL parameter page_name, which is a you guessed it a name of a page with .cfm appended. So, in my haste, I continued using it, and was building out my CFC and using the page_name as the identifier for a record. Then I realized that there is a possibility of that name being duplicated in the table, and changed that url parameter to use the page_id, which is unique. I modified my CFC to use the new key, and nothing worked. So I started going through my code and figured I made a typo, started commenting things out, and finally dumped out my CFC object and voila, none of the edits I made were actually being used. This was fairly obvious, since page_name was a string, and page_id was numeric.
So I started googling,The first thing I saw as adjust things in the CFAdmin. I don't have access to it, and restarting the server isn't an option since I'm using an RDS to live code. The next thing I tried was to add applicationStop(), onApplicationStart(), to my Application.cfc. Well the problem is that the Application.cfc, is actually an Application.cfm. So after fiddling with the <cfapplication ... > tag, and nothing being updated, I'm here asking for help.
So is there a quick fix for this? Should I go ahead and create an application.cfc? I hope I explained myself, and sorry for all the text.
Confirm that your cfc is bound to either the session or application scope.
If it is, then you can rename the application in application.cfm and it will reset the object.
If your cfc is NOT bound to session or application scope, you have a cacheing issue. You need to go the the CF admin -> Server Settings -> Cache tab and uncheck component cache and possibly some others.

Sounds like you have been painted into a corner. Last option IF you have access the the server it self and can get into the C:\ or whatever drive that ColdFusion have been installed on, you can just manually delete the generated Java Class files that the server is using that has the old code. When ColdFusion sees there is no Class file it will recompile the newly changed file and whoa black betty go bam-a-lam your changes will be in production.

Sitecore (sitecore social connector) - unable to customize content posted to facebook/twitter

I've recently installed the sitecore social connector module, and I've placed tweet and like buttons on a page, but I can't seem to control the content either sends to twitter/facebook. The tweet button sends the title of the page as the text to be tweeted, and I'd like to override this.
The facebook like link doesn't seem to do anything. If I go back to the same page, it still shows 1 like, but nothing has appeared on my facebook page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've decompiled the CodeBehind for the Tweet sublayout and it has this for code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string text = "var xmlhttp;if (window.XMLHttpRequest){ xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();}else{xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject(\"Microsoft.XMLHTTP\");}xmlhttp.open(\"GET\",url,true);xmlhttp.send();";
string script = string.Format("<script>twttr.events.bind('tweet', function (event) {{var url = '{2}?itemid={1}&eventname={3}&buttontype=tweet';{4}}});</script>", new object[]
{
Sitecore.Context.User.Name.Replace('\\', '.'),
Sitecore.Context.Item.ID.ToString(),
"/layouts/system/Social/SocialEvents.aspx",
base.EventName,
text
});
this.Page.RegisterStartupScript("tweetsubscribe", script);
}
If you want to change it, you need to de-compile Sitecore.Social.dll which is in the package. Un-zip the package and open the files folder and the DLL will be in the /bin/.
If you don't have a decompiler, ILSpy is a great free one. You can do the same for the other feature, just de-compile and re-build in a local project with changes.
Update: just to clarify, you need to de-compile the current C# in the DLL to make changes to it. You can re-compile into a separate project, you just need to change the Inherits="" in the front-end of the control, e.g.
Instead of this:
Inherits="Sitecore.Social.Sharing.Controls.TweetButton"
Do something like this:
Inherits="MyProject.Sharing.Controls.TweetButton"
Apologies for the very late reply. I did not realise someone had asked me for a reply.
In the end I found it easier to just use the standard Twitter/Facebook controls. I have since learned that while Sitecore has some useful modules for handling CMS operations, it is often easier on the Content Delivery side to just use whatever web technology is the easiest to implement.

How set a website as homepage in IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari with C++?

Is there a way to set a website like google.com as homepage through C++ or C ? How ?
Not sure what your motive is, but I don't think of this as something I want any code on my system to be setting out from under me. It sounds like the kind of thing adware/malware would do to your grandparents (who wouldn't know how to fix it once it's set). Note the negative comments when the question was asked of how to do it from JavaScript:
How can I set default homepage in FF and Chrome via javascript?
It's better to point people at instructions for doing it themselves. Remind with a banner which says "Make us your homepage!", and link to something along these lines:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-change-your-homepage-in-5-browsers/
If not for the aesthetic reasons, there are technical reasons not to try and write code for it. Each browser stores this information in its own place. In IE's case, there appears to be a registry setting:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
So you'd use calls to the Windows Registry API to query it and set it. But Firefox doesn't save this in the registry, it saves it in something called prefs.js and you'll be looking for:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", .... );
Then there's Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc. All told, better to just give people directions and put them in control of their experience!
Imports Microsft.Win32
...
Module Util
Sub SetHomePage(Dim theUrl As String)
Registry.SetValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main", "Start Page", theUrl)
End Sub
End Module
Yes.
Find the way each browser saves its configuration to disk and edit that (*). It may be a file, or records in a database, or some data in a central registry, or some other scheme --- the browser documentation should tell you.
To open/read/write/save/close a file, the C functions declared in the header <stdio.h> may be helpful.
(*) for Firefox it's a file named "prefs.ini" in a directory somewhere under the users home path; there may be more than 1 such file if the user has more than 1 profile.

Problem reading a cookie from within a tracking pixel in IE

I wrote a simple pixel tracking program that works something like this
Step 1) tracker.com sets a cookie
Step 2) mysite.com displays <img src="tracker.com/tracking.php">. That image reads the cookie from Step 1 & does some processing.
Works great in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. But when tested in IE, the cookie can't be read in Step 2. It's as if the cookie doesn't exist -- but I know it does.
Any idea why IE pretends the cookie doesn't exist? I've tried messing with P3P headers, no luck.
Does your domain have a privacy policy? I forget what it's called, maybe p3p? Some random list of headers that you have to add.
Try adding the domain in the src attribute to trusted sites in IE. My guess is this is security, and you've got a rather arcane security measure you're coming up against.
If the cookie setting domain is 2 letters, I believe there is a bug within IE that prevents IE from doing cookies properly with 2 letter domains. If it isn't 2 letters, then nevermind.
It may be that IE is blocking 3rd-party cookies.
Its tricky without knowing more specifics of its use, but I'm trying at this late hour to figure out how to clone the cookie for the current domain using REMOTE_ADDR
So, the first answer was more about testing... try using JS to handle this -
From site-reference.com forums..
<script type='text/javascript'>
var track = new Image();
track.src="http://www.my-site.com/tracker.php?self=" + this.location;
</script>
*NOTE: Capital "I" in image, not lowercase!
Let us know! :D

How to explicitly add a cookie in Watir?

I need to set a cookie in IE to execute some specific flow. I tried using the following code
ieb = Watir::IE.new
ieb.document.cookie="rememberme=foobar;Path=/; Domain=sometestdomain.com"
# Bring up browser and do bunch of stuff
However, I see that when the IE comes up, rememberme cookie is not set. Am I doing something wrong here?
You need first open browser with some document loaded from sometestdomain.com.
Then you'll be able to set cookies.
