I did stupid stuff too...

I forgot that variables declared outside the function, are global variables and can be changed...

The variables that were outside now are inside the function

@Quill Did you corrected assy as easy?

Quill

@IsmaelMiguel where?

Ismael Miguel

In the code

In a comment

Yeah, Google Chrome has an easy API... That detects when running as extention.

Quill

Maybe, I fixed a few typos

Ismael Miguel

It wasn't a typo...

Quill

oh, lol

Ismael Miguel

00:06

assy is a made-up word to say that it is an ass

Quill

I would use bad, crappy, hard to use

Ismael Miguel

Because Google Chrome's API is a piece of garbage

Quill

but assy is just confusing

Ismael Miguel

You are right on that one

Ismael Miguel

00:23

I love how jQuery runs the success function even when there's an error 404

@Quill @Malachi Temporary logo

Just until we get something decent

The process:

Badly made an @ in a very small resolution

Then made a bitmap copy and increased it's size 4x

Selected the rendering mode on the bitmap to optimize for speed, which gave me that pixelated stuff

Made a new bitmap copy of that bitmap copy and discared the other

Then badly aligned them, badly made a path in the shape of a triangle and clipped it

Malachi

very nice

I like it

Ismael Miguel

It's really badly made

With improper measurements

The logo was a converted version of the available EPS file and just threw all that inside a new file

To make the PNG, I had to use GIMP

Now, I will integrate it in the extention

Tomorrow, I will make a popup

With settings

Quill

02:00

Okay, @icon is the userscript for that

Ismael Miguel

Does it support base64 data?

Quill

Don't think so

You can put it on github and just link the url

Ismael Miguel

Lets try

Malachi

score

Ismael Miguel

Alright, I've updated the files with the extention with the icon

The user.js doesn't have that

Crap

@Malachi @Quill Updated the extention

The icon looks like garbage and lost the effect I wanted :/

But it will sufice for now

monking

And the extention is working

Malachi

02:12

I will install at work right now

Ismael Miguel

It's on the build folder

Malachi

I already downloaded it! I like the Icon!! nice work

Jamalize

Ismael Miguel

Thanks

Jamal

Malachi

nice

Ismael Miguel

Now, most of the configurations are done on github-side

There's a _sources.json that contains sources that I'll use to fetch the data

%SITE% will be replaces with the site name

And it respects the order, which is important

Quill

02:15

Can you add this into the readme.MD?

Lookin nice

Ismael Miguel

I just don't know what to do with the question

Quill

02:37

Hmm, it's probably better off to entirely remove the striked comments in the readme.MD file

Ismael Miguel

Alright

I'm on it

Quill

I would do it myself, but the webmaster here blocked my ability to retrieve the .git file

Ismael Miguel

:/ weird

Why he did that?

Quill

Because I'm at a government school and I should be doing classwork :P

Ismael Miguel

That makes sense

Quill

02:43

testing

W͏̵h͢͟a͘t͞?́

Hmm, zalgo matching

Hmm

Ismael Miguel

@Quill @Malachi I've updated the github, with an option to ignore certain files if they don't exist.

Example in _sources.json:

[
	{
		"name": "memes",
		"file": "%SITE%"
	},
	{
		"name": "common",
		"file": "_common"
	},
	{
		"name": "users",
		"file": "%SITE%.users",
		"ignore": true
	}
]

If there's an "ignore": true, it won't show errors if it is missing.

Which should be the case for _common.json

And now it ignores too on _common.json

Well, TTGTB

Have a good night

Quill

Good night

@IsmaelMiguel, we could put the Memer settings dialog down in the footer like so:

Ethan Bierlein

03:21

lol we need one framework that fits all purposes so we don't have to keep updating our frameworks to something new every other week

Quill

lol?

JohnSnow

06:41

Hello

Ismael Miguel

08:07

Greetings

@Quill That would work well for the userscript. But the extention has it's own dialogs and other methods to store it's information.

The problem with that link is that it is somewhat hidden and not obvious. But most likely I'll use that for the userscript

Mast

Fortunately, the charging one has been solved now that we've all standardized on mini-USB. Or is it micro-USB? Shit.

Quill

Sorry was testing something

Ismael Miguel

Did it worked?

Quill

Nah, but I know why :P

it wasnt memer that I was testing btw

Ismael Miguel

You wanted to ping us all?

Quill

13:06

dont worry :P

Ismael Miguel

Someone should do that!

It's not hard

Quill

I already have

Mast

@IsmaelMiguel It can't be done, unless you write something writing everyone's @name

Ismael Miguel

@Mast Exactly!

And it is simple

You scrap the page and you can get the names of the users in the room

You can get by using a POST call

Or the HTML

And then ping them all

Quill

Yeah, I've got most of it

A few issues have arisen, but nothing major

Mast

13:10

I've never been good at scraping web, is it easy? I'm only good with text, CSV, everything off-line stuff.

@all @Malachi We got bots now?

Ismael Miguel

@Mast Nah, not much. You must use Javascript

In this example

Malachi

@all rules

Quill

had this conversation like a dozen times

Timo

@Malachi Thank you, I'm new to codereview

Quill

Alright, well, I'm having some logic issues with this, so I might upload it to GitHub

Mast

@Quill If it works as intended, you could always upload it to Code Review.

Just stating the obvious here.

Quill

@Mast it does

... sometimes

Ismael Miguel

@Quill Is it based on SirPython's bot?

Quill

13:22

@IsmaelMiguel Yeah, an old version, yeah

Ismael Miguel

What is failing?

Quill

 content: chat.lastElementChild.children[1].lastElementChild.children[1].innerHTML,

function addToSubscribed(username) {
    var subscribed = getSubscribedList();
    subscribed[username] = true;
    setSubscribedList(subscribed);
}

Ismael Miguel

That code is REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE‌EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE‌EEEALLY old

Quill

^ that

Ismael Miguel

You should get the latest code

I think he lost all interest in his bot

Malachi

13:25

@Timo you should install our cool user script so you know all the fun memes

Mast

@Malachi Or just read the relevant meta...

Timo

Quill

@Timo github.com/ismael-miguel/memer

@IsmaelMiguel, this is my so-far code: github.com/The-Quill/StackExchange-ping-all-bot

Ismael Miguel

@Quill You really should check SirPython's bot to get and send messages

Malachi

13:43

I have been jumping in and out of chat. I have a lot of stuff to get going today. lol ping me if you need me

Quill

Hey @IsmaelMiguel, I'm stuck trying to fetch a list of users from the sidebar

 $('.sidebar-widget')[0].children[0].children

Ismael Miguel

14:03

Give me 1 minute

@Quill Use this: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/pingable/25699

Quill

How do I convert that to an array of usernames tho

Ismael Miguel

Either use $.getJSON('http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/pingable/25699', {'_': +(new Date())}, function(data){}); or use $.get('http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/pingable/25699', {'_': +(new Date())}, function(data){},'json');

What version are you using? Still the old version of the bot?

Quill

Old version, I can't see any real changes in the new version

Ismael Miguel

Does it have a send queue?

Quill

I mean, the new version doesnt have user storage

Ismael Miguel

14:11

It does, but it only uses to write

And read once

Quill

Hmm, this way is showing all pingable users, not just online ones

Ismael Miguel

Pingable users are online users

Or users in the chat

The output there should be the same as getting the users from the HTML

@Quill Have you ever tried CSS?

Quill

@IsmaelMiguel Yeah ... ofc

Ismael Miguel

jQuery uses CSS selectors

You're mixing 2 styles.

$('#present-users .present-user img').each(function(){
    console.log(this.title);
});

There, full user list

Q: Nested SQLite transactions in jQuery

I'm using Cordova with jQuery and jQuery Mobile to develop a hybrid app. In this app I need to save data that I get from a server. The data is a JSON. I chose this SQLite plugin for Cordova to save the content in tables for easy access. I make an AJAX-GET call to get the data I need and call the...

javascript jquery sqlite cordova

Dan Pantry

@mast I've already commented on it, I don't think I can really decipher that code lol

Mast

You need a translation for the variable names?

Malachi

when we type memer in, it recursively points back to itself

Dan Pantry

@Mast no it's not a problem of needing literal translation.

I mean, I need the structure of content to effectively refactor the code

and right now it's making my head spin look at it :S

It looks like a mess of code that I don't really want to untangle (i.e, legacy code)

Mast

19:37

Oh well, that's why we require the full context.

Dan Pantry

you know that one method in your company that has like 150 lines and the only comment is

//magic happens here

Mast

It may warrant a UWYA, but I'm not sure it's that bad.

Dan Pantry

// you are not meant to understand this.

or

thats kind of how i feel about that code

Mast

Oh yea, that's evil.

That's the kind of code nobody will touch for years.

Dan Pantry

Also I don't understand why OP is using SQLite on the client side instead of just local storage

Mast

19:37

Especially if it's in some core part of an application.

Dan Pantry

or Firebase

Man in my company right now there is an applicatoin compromised almost entirely of static methods

This application is written in C# and the lead developer, I kid you not, had no idea what an interface was

Mast

Perhaps it's a proof of concept? To show how it should be done with external database.

Oof, that's kind of essential in C#.

Dan Pantry

It's a very.. lengthy POC.

Mast

That's like not knowing what a constructor is in C++.

Dan Pantry

it would have been easier to use a plain ol JSON store.

No, not quite, but interfaces are a very key part in any statically typed language IMO

and I avoid the keyword static like the plague in c#/java

90% of the time, static indicates a design flaw

SirPython

21:34

@IsmaelMiguel I had seen you mention jQuery.noConflict in your memer code. I see that it is used to make sure that, in case there are multiple versions of jQuery, only one is used.

How does this relate to that inner anonymous function?

Oh!

Is it so that the code can use a separate version of jQuery? Or so that it uses the same jQuery as the rest of the code?

Ismael Miguel

22:28

@SirPython None. jQuery.noConflict() was created to avoid conflict with other libraries, like MooTools

MooTools uses $ to match 1 element, using a CSS selector

Calling that function will disable $

Allowing other libraries to use it

SirPython

So what does this have to do with the anonymous jQuery function?

Ismael Miguel

It will let you use $ as jQuery

Try this: jQuery.noConflict(); $('html');

SirPython

A bunch of errors show

From the webpage trying to use $

Ismael Miguel

Yup

SirPython

Oh!

Ismael Miguel

22:35

If they were wrapped with that anonymous function, they would still work

SirPython

So you use the anonymous function in case jQuery.noConflict was called. That way, you could still use jQuery!

Ismael Miguel

You can always use jQuery, but you can't use $ after calling jQuery.noConflict();

SirPython

Ah!!!

This makes sense.

I'm going to edit my answer now.

Ismael Miguel

Go ahead
