I am using ColdFusion 8.0.1.
I am writing a little code in the application file that will look at the URL. If any of a certain type of property is passed, I don't want to update a property in a SESSION structure.
Basically, if a visitor accesses any page that has to do with our registration process, we do not want to update the SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL variable. For every other page they access, we want to update the variable.
All pages that have to do with the registration process will have "myiq.reg" in the URL. If this were the case, I would use the code below.
// DETERMINE WHETHER TO UPDATE RETURNTOURL
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg")) {
URLString = "http://" & CGI.SERVER_NAME & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & CGI.QUERY_STRING;
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
But it's not that simple. My people want to be able to pass other properties that are similar, like this:
myiq.reg_confirm
myiq.reg_password
myiq.reg_save
I need to be able to soft code these to work with any registration page that they might create in the future. Basically, I need something like this :
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg*")) {
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
Notice the WILDCARD after "myiq.reg". I've tried this, but it doesn't work.
How do I code this so that any page that is access with a URL property that begins with "myiq.reg" is ignored?
You could get a structKeyList() of the URL scope, and just do a regex find in that. Something like:
reFindNoCase("(?:^|,)myiq\.reg", structKeyList(URL))
(only superficially tested)
You could improve the regex a bit if you wanted to more accurately match actual variable name patterns rather than just any occurrence of myiq.reg in the string.
Something like this perhaps...
res = '';
params = StructKeyList(url);
for(i=1; i lte ListLen(params); i++) {
param = listGetAt(params, i);
if (CompareNoCase(Left(param, 8), 'myiq.reg') eq 0) {
res = param;
break;
}
}

I'm trying to use a pre-request script to build out a request object based on data pulled from a CSV file. The problem is that the request seems to be set in stone prior to the pre-request script being run. That would seem to make this a mid-request script almost rather than a pre-request.
My code is as follows:
if(ipList === undefined) ipList = "1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5,123.234.345.465";
let ips = ipList.split(',');
let queryArray = [];
for( i=0; i<ips.length; i++){
queryArray.push({ "key": "ip", "value": ips[i] });
}
console.log(queryArray);
pm.request.url.query = queryArray;
console.log(pm.request);
When I hardcode a url query variable in the request to equal 4.3.2.1, the pm.response.url object like this:
pm.request.url.query[0] = {key:"ip", value:"4.3.2.1"}
Note that the url.query[0] part of the object matches the parameter in the actual get request.
When I change the value of pm.request.url.query to equal the new query array, however as you can see here, the query array is set correctly, but the parameters are not appended to the request URL.
So unless I'm doing something wrong, it appears that the request is immutable even to the pre-request scripts.
So my question is this:
Is there a way to modify the url params of a request prior to making the request?
BTW: I know that is might seem odd to have multiple params with the same key in a query, but that's the way this API works and hard coding multiple ip addresses in the query works just fine.
You could just assign a new value to pm.request.url.
Here I had some query params already in the URL, which I had to edit:
const urlSplit = request.url.split('?');
const paramsString = urlSplit[1]; // the second part actually represents the query string we need to modify
const eachParamArray = paramsString.split('&');
let params = {};
eachParamArray.forEach((param) => {
const key = param.split('=')[0];
const value = param.split('=')[1];
Object.assign(params, {[key]: value});
});
params.bla = params.bla + 'foobar';
newQueryString = Object.keys(params).map(key => key + '=' + params[key]).join('&');
pm.request.url = urlSplit[0] + '?' + newQueryString;
In the end, I just constructed a new URL, using the first part of the previous one & the query string with the edited bla parameter.
This seemed to work for me--it didn't change what the UI shows the query string is, but it changed what the actual request was (looking at the console log)
pm.request.url.addQueryParams(["a=1", "b=2"])
pm.request.url.query.remove("b")
I have some parameters called "script_loginAs" etc... named such that people on my team know the parameter is evaluated and not sent.
I am trying to get the url value of the following string with coldfusion, i am using list function but i am lost how do i get that please advice
<cfsavecontent variable="foo">
function modalwindow() {
url = "http://www.idea.com?mycode=9&pagenum=-1&sortBy=1&sortOrder=1";
mywin = window.open (url,"win",'toolbar=yes,location=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=878,height=810');
mywin.focus();
return false;
}
</cfsavecontent>
<cfset a = listgetat(foo,2,"url")>
<cfoutput>#a#</cfoutput>
but i am getting weird results, i need to fetch the URL value
This regex will return the URL and accounts for the whitespace being optional, however I should add the disclaimer that this is a little brittle and probably not a good way of going about whatever it is you're after for several reasons.
#reReplaceNoCase( foo, '.*url\s*=\s*"(.*?)".*', '\1' )#
I debug my API using Xdebug and PHPStorm's debugging features. For this to work, the client needs a cookie named XDEBUG_SESSION.
When using Postman, I used to use a Chrome extension to add this cookie, and Postman's cookie interception feature to get this to work in Postman (since it's a sandboxed app).
However, I cannot create cookies in Paw. So, as a workaround, I modified the API response cookie to have the key as XDEBUG_SESSION and value as PHPSTORM, and debugging worked fine. However, this is not ideal as I would also like to set the expiry date to something far in the future (which I can't in Paw).
So, my questions are:
Is there a way to add custom cookies in Paw?
If not, is there a way to to edit the expiry date for an existing cookie (considering that name, value, domain and path are editable)?
Are there any other alternatives to achieve my objective?
I just managed to achieve this exact thing to debug my APIs with Paw (2.1.1).
You just have to Add a Header with the name Cookie and a value of Cookies picked from the dropdown that will appear. You then have to insert a Cookie named XDEBUG_SESSION with a value of PHPSTORM inside the Cookies value of the header just created.
To be more clear, you can see it in the screenshot below:
I messed around with it to see if I could create an extension. I wasn't able to, and the below does not work but thought I'd share in case anyone knows the missing pieces.
First off, there is no extension category (generator, dynamic value, importer) that this functionality falls into. I tried to make use of the dynamic value category but was unsuccessful:
CookieInjector = function(key, value) {
this.key = "XDEBUG_SESSION";
this.value = "PHPSTORM";
this.evaluate = function () {
var f = function (x,y) {
document.cookie=this.key+"="+this.value;
return true;
}
return f(this.key, this.value);
}
// Title function: takes no params, should return the string to display as
// the Dynamic Value title
this.title = function() {
return "Cookie"
}
// Text function: takes no params, should return the string to display as
// the Dynamic Value text
this.text = function() {
return this.key+"="+this.value;
}
}
// Extension Identifier (as a reverse domain name)
CookieInjector.identifier = "com.luckymarmot.PawExtensions.CookieInjector";
// Extension Name
CookieInjector.title = "Inject Cookie Into Cookie Jar";
// Dynamic Value Inputs
CookieInjector.inputs = [
DynamicValueInput("key", "Key", "String"),
DynamicValueInput("value", "Value", "String")
]
// Register this new Extension
registerDynamicValueClass(CookieInjector);
The main thing stopping this from working is I'm not sure how the request is built in PAW and not sure how to attach the cookie. I've looked through the documentation here: https://luckymarmot.com/paw/doc/Extensions/Reference/Reference, and can't find what I need.
I have set a cookie that I want to use to populate a form, so that users don't need to keep filling out the same form (it's submitting an inquiry to owners of holiday villas).
I've got it working fine if the cookie is already set, but it errors out if there is no cookie set.
I'm guessing I'll need to use an "if" statement, but don't quite know how to write the code.
Here is the code that sets the cookie...
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"] = Request["BookingReqEmail"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"] = Request["BookingReqPhone"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"] = Request["BookingNumAdults"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"] = Request["BookingNumChildren"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"] = Request["BookingReqMessage"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4);
}
Here are the variables that collect info from the cookie...
var reqname = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"];
var reqemail = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"];
var reqphone = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"];
var numadults = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"];
var numchildren = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"];
var reqmessage = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"];
and here is a sample input from the form...
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="BookingReqName" id="BookingReqName" placeholder="full name…" value="#reqname">
In WebMatrix C#.net, I think you are looking for something like this:
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null)
{
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
}
else
{
Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).
}
Or you can use the same code as a one liner (to not clutter up your code, however this will decrease readability, obv.).
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null){Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];}else{Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).}
You'll just have to do that for all of your lines requesting cookie values.
The point is, though, that anything can go in the "else" block that helps you handle what to do when the cookie values have been cleared/expired (which you must always expect). You could redirect to a page that requests information from the user to reset any "forgotten" configurations, or, if you want to persist the data no matter what, consider storing these values in a database, instead, as those values won't clear/expire.
One last thing, if this doesn't help:
If you find yourself wondering what value to store in the cookie (the default value you wish to specify), because you need to know, right then and there, what it was supposed to have remembered, then I am afraid it is time to reconsider how you have structured the flow of data.
Sorry, but I have done that, once upon a time, only with Session variables, and it wasn't pretty :)
If you need any help with the best way(s) to transfer data between web pages, check this very helpful, concise link from Mike Brind's website: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/192/Transferring-Data-Between-ASP.NET-Web-Pages
It should just be the following
if(Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"] == null)
{
return; // <- if BookingEnquiry is null we end this routine
}
// Normal code flow here...
or something similar
I am looking for a quick and dirty way to query the layouts files of a particular page by its friendly url. This is probably easy, but I can't find the solution.
Basically I want to say something like the following. Pseudo-code:
var mainpage = Sitecore.EasyQueryUtility.GetItemByFriendlyUrl(requestedUrl);
or
var mainpage = Sitecore.EasyQueryUtility.GetOppositeOfFriendlyUrl(friendlyurl);
It sounds like you want to do two things here:
Determine an item based on its rendered URL in the address bar (i.e. friendly URL)
Determine the layout being used by the item once you determine the item.
If those are correct, hopefully this can help you out:
Note: untested code I did on-the-fly
// if you have the full URL with protocol and host
public static Item GetItemFromUrl(string url)
{
string path = new Uri(url).PathAndQuery;
return GetItemFromPath(path);
}
// if you have just the path after the hostname
public static Item GetItemFromPath(string path)
{
// remove query string
if(path.Contains("?"))
path = path.split('?')[0];
path = path.Replace(".aspx", "");
return Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(path);
}
Once you have the item you can get the layout's name like so:
item.Visualization.GetLayout(Sitecore.Context.Device).Name;
Or the layout's physical file path to the ASPX:
item.Visualization.GetLayout(Sitecore.Context.Device).FilePath;
If you want to get the path of the aspx file which is used for the layout of your page, you can use:
Sitecore.Context.Item.Visualization.Layout.FilePath
I may have misunderstood you but if you want to control the format of friendly URLs you can set several attributes via the Sitecore.Links.UrlOptions class and pass an instance of this in to the link manager. See here for more details. (Note - the LinkManager class is only available from SiteCore 6 I beleive).
The code you would end up with looks like this:
Sitecore.Links.UrlOptions urlOptions = (Sitecore.Links.UrlOptions)Sitecore.Links.UrlOptions.DefaultOptions.Clone();
urlOptions.SiteResolving = Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.Rendering.SiteResolving;
string url = Sitecore.Links.LinkManager.GetItemUrl(item, urlOptions);
You can then set fields like AddAspxExtension on the urlOptions you pass in.
As you can see, the process is reliant on you passing in an item - whether it be obtained via the current context or retrieved from the URL you start off with.
If you were asking about obtaining the layout definition item, take a look at this which shows you how.
