Javascript getElementById Issue in Firefox

July 12, 2008

I'm working on an Javascript code. This web application is retrieving value from a couple of textbox fields and concatenate in result textbox field. I tested the web application in Internet Explorer and it work fine. But when I'm testing in Firefox, the value is not passed to the textbox field.

Here is the original code:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. <script>&lt;br /&gt;
  2.   &lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
  3.   function GetFullName()&lt;br /&gt;
  4.   {&lt;br /&gt;
  5.       document.getElementById('FullName').value = document.getElementById('FirstName').value + " " + document.getElementById('LastName').value&lt;br /&gt;
  6.   }&lt;br /&gt;
  7.   //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  8.   </script>
  9. First Name:<input name="FirstName" type="text" />
  10.  
  11. Last Name:<input name="LastName" type="text" />
  12.  
  13. <input onclick="GetFullName()" type="button" value="Get Full Name" />
  14.  
  15. Full Name:<input name="FullName" type="text" />

The workaround to this issue is to define the id property of all the textbox fields. See the updated code below:

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. <script>&lt;br /&gt;
  2.   &lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
  3.   function GetFullName()&lt;br /&gt;
  4.   {&lt;br /&gt;
  5.       document.getElementById('FullName').value = document.getElementById('FirstName').value + " " + document.getElementById('LastName').value&lt;br /&gt;
  6.   }&lt;br /&gt;
  7.   //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  8.   </script>
  9. First Name:<input id="FirstName" name="FirstName" type="text" />
  10.  
  11. Last Name:<input id="LastName" name="LastName" type="text" />
  12.  
  13. <input onclick="GetFullName()" type="button" value="Get Full Name" />
  14.  
  15. Full Name:<input id="FullName" name="FullName" type="text" />

SEO URL Rewriting for GARS

August 19, 2007

I discussed the steps to setup the URL rewriting for VBulletin. For those forums using GARS, here are the steps.

  1. Edit geek/gars/mods/display/top.php

    Search:

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. $bits .= "<tr><td align=\"$stylevar[left]\"><span class=\"smallfont\"><a href=\"showthread.php?t=$value[threadid]\" title=\"$value[title]\">$value[title]</a></span></td></tr>";

    Replaced with

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. $thread['url'] = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-", $value[title]));
    2. $thread['url'] = strtolower(str_replace("'", "", $value[title]));
    3. $thread['url'] = ereg_replace("[/?!.$%£()~*@#]+", "", $thread['url']);
    4. $bits .= "<tr><td align=\"$stylevar[left]\"><span class=\"smallfont\"><a href=\"t$value[threadid]-" .  $thread['url']  . ".html\" title=\"$value[title]\">$value[title]</a></span></td></tr>";

  2. Edit geek/gars/mods/display/toc.php
    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. $bits.="<li><div class=\"smallfont\"><a href=\"showthread.php?t=$threadinfo[threadid]&amp;garpg=" . ($toc_x + 1). "#content_start\">";
    2. $bits.=$this->navigation['pages'][$toc_x]['text'] ? $this->navigation['pages'][$toc_x]['text'] : construct_phrase($vbphrase['GARS_pagex'],($toc_x + 1));
    3. $bits.="</a></div></li>";

    Replaced with

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. $thread['url'] = strtolower(str_replace(" ", "-", $this->navigation['pages'][$toc_x]['text'] ? $this->navigation['pages'][$toc_x]['text'] : construct_phrase($vbphrase['GARS_pagex'],($toc_x + 1))));
    2. $thread['url'] = ereg_replace("[/?!.$%£()~*@#]+", "", $thread['url']);
    3. $bits.="<li><div class=\"smallfont\"><a href=\"a$threadinfo[threadid]-" . ($toc_x + 1). "-$thread[url].html\">";

  3. Edit the following templates

    GARS_forumbit_level1_nopost
    GARS_forumbit_level1_post
    GARS_forumdisplay
    GARS_simple_threadbit
    GARS_subforumbit_nopost
    GARS_subforumbit_post
    GARS_threadbit

    Replace:

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]

    with

    PLAIN TEXT
    CODE:
    1. t$thread[threadid]-$thread[url].html

NoSpam! - an alternative to CAPTCHA images

August 18, 2007

This simple hack is meant as a replacement for the default CAPTCHA system in vBulletin. There are two main reasons one might want to do this: firstly, new technology is constantly being developed to crack CAPTCHA images and make spam accounts anyway, and secondly, the more secure the CAPTCHA, the more difficult it is for genuine users to tell what the numbers in the image are. There is also the issue of visually impaired users, and the fact that not all servers are capable of generating CAPTCHA images.

VBulletin Specific Category Icon

August 18, 2007

Find "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template:

Code:

<td class="tcat"><img src="/path/to/your/image_$forum[forumid].gif" /></td>

Then, when you're naming the images you'd like to display, add a suffix to each one with the Forum ID that you'd like it displayed for.

Ex: image.gif for Forum ID 2 becomes - image_2.gif

Edit: If you don't want to display an image for all your forums, you can wrap the above code with the following, which will only display it for specific forums:

Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(X,Y,Z))">
Code Supplied Above
</if>

Replace X,Y,Z with the Forum IDs of the forums you're displaying images next to.
