A javascript library for formatting and manipulating numbers.

2015-11-03T06:44:00.000-08:00

Numeral.js, while less complex, was inspired by and heavily borrowed from Moment.js so if you have use momentjs before you should be familiar with this library.

Numbers can be formatted to look like currency, percentages and more.

How to use:
numeral(1000).format('0,0') returns 1,000
numeral(1230974).format('0.0a') returns 1.2m

numeral(1000.234).format('$0,0.00') returns $1,000.23
numeral(1230974).format('($ 0.00 a)') returns $ 1.23 m

numeral(1).format('0%') returns 100%
numeral(0.974878234).format('0.000%') returns 97.488%

Button click always fires when you press enter key

2015-10-05T20:01:00.001-07:00

I've spent hours trying to figure this out, but the solution is just adding the type="button" attribute to the button element.

Issue.
<button id="generateButton" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">Generate</button>

Solution
<button id="generateButton" type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-sm">Generate</button>

I got the solution from this post on SOF.

jQuery BBQ: Back Button & Query Library

2015-04-23T23:30:00.003-07:00

jQuery BBQ leverages the HTML5 hashchange event to allow simple, yet powerful bookmarkable #hash history. In addition, jQuery BBQ provides a full .deparam() method, along with both hash state management, and fragment / query string parse and merge utility methods.

Format date and time using Moment.js

2014-12-08T02:19:00.000-08:00

The javascript function below will format a given datetime object like facebook ish using momentjs.

function formatDateTime(dte, format) {
var diff = moment().diff(moment(dte), 'days');
if (diff == 0) {
return moment(dte).fromNow();
}
else if (diff == 1) {
return moment(dte).calendar();
}
else {
if (format) {
return moment(dte).format(format);
}
else {
return moment(dte).format("MMM DD, YYYY hA");
}
}
}

The return value will depend on the datetime pass to the function:

If today
"a few seconds ago" or "13 minutes" ago or "an hour ago"

If yesterday
"Yesterday at 5:15 PM"

If the second parameter is pass it will use it base on momentjs formating

HowTo: Convert a given number into its ordinal value in VB.NET

2014-07-15T01:18:00.001-07:00

Found this code from stackoverflow and made some small change to it, this will convert any given number to its ordinal value.

Example:
Convert(1) will return 1st
Convert(11) will return 11th
Convert(12) will return 12th
Convert(23) will return 23rd

Public Function Convert(ByVal number As Integer) As String
Dim ones As Integer = number Mod 10
Dim tens As Integer = Math.Floor(number / 10) / 10
If (number > 10 And number < 14) Then
Return number.ToString() & "th"
Else
Select Case ones
Case 1
Return number.ToString() & "st"
Case 2
Return number.ToString() & "nd"
Case 3
Return number.ToString() & "rd"
Case Else
Return number.ToString() & "th"
End Select
End If
End Function

Dotnetnuke Messages and Notifications links not working properly

2014-06-27T05:44:00.002-07:00

It take me a week to figure this out, had to look into the source code, In our case the issue occur because we have a custom User Profile page and the Message Center page in not a child of that page.

We just move the messages page under profile page and everything works properly. Also make sure you clear cache under host settings.

I ask a question about this on DNN Q&A

DotNetNuke and Apache Solr in action

2014-05-31T06:22:00.003-07:00

All search functionality of zeekbeek.com is powered by SOLR.

Also we are using jQuery Waypoints for infinite scroll of search results and jQuery BBQ for handing #hash.

A problem occurred while trying to set the "References" parameter for the IDE's in-process compiler. Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.

2014-05-27T19:03:00.001-07:00

I resolve my issue with the help from the workaround here.

In my case it was about adding a reference to itself. Removed it and it is working fine now.

Example on how to use dnnConfirm jQuery Plugin

2013-07-15T08:47:00.001-07:00

The JS code below will show a dnn confirm dialog upon click on any button with my-Button class. Pay attention to isButton option on initialization and the isTrigger parameter on button click.

//initialization
$(".my-Button").dnnConfirm({
text: "Confirm Message",
title: "Confirm",
isButton: true
});
//button click handler
$(".my-Button").click(function (e, isTrigger) {

if (isTrigger) {
// Your code here
}

return false;

});

DotNetNuke+Apache Solr=High Speed Enterprise Search

2013-07-05T22:17:00.000-07:00

We have successfully implemented Apache Solr as a Search Solution for DotNetNuke.

Here's the summary on how we did it.

First we installed BitNami Apache Solr Stack to our test machine(Windows 7).

We change the Solr Schema to fit our needs.

We build a DNN Scheduler to add/edit/delete documents to Solr using Solrnet.

After we are done indexing, we created a search class to query Solr Webservice using Solrnet.

Now we have an Intelligent and Fast Search. :)

FYI: Solr has a cool Dashboard that will let you check if your documents are being index properly or do some test query.

I will find time to share actual source code in the near future.

Disable tokeninput inside of Compose Message Dialog

2013-03-25T02:37:00.000-07:00

I implemented DotNetNuke's dnnComposeMessage method/plugin in one of my module and I notice that other than the contact being pre-populated, users are also allowed to add/edit contact, this is great if you want it that way, however if you don't want users to change contacts other than what you already pre-populated, then we should disable it. I can't find a method inside of tokeninput plugin so I use CSS to hide the close icon and input control which in turn disable add or delete of contact during compose message dialog. Below is my CSS, using facebook theme.

.composeMessageDialog fieldset .dnnFormItem .token-input-input-token-facebook input { display: none; } .composeMessageDialog fieldset .dnnFormItem .token-input-delete-token-facebook { display: none; }

dnnAlert and dnnConfirm jQuery Plugin

2012-09-18T21:16:00.000-07:00

I like the idea of using jQuery Plugins in DNN for interactive and consistent user interface which is why I digg into using dnnAlert and dnnConfirm plugins, however after a quick look on the documentation I notice the following.

For dnnAlert you can't set the title. We are allowed to set the OK button text using okText option but not the dialog title?

For dnnConfirm. This is very usefull when you just want a confirmation dialog upon click on your button or link however you can't use it like javascript confirm function or at least I don't know how to use it like below:

if(confirm('Question?')){//some code}

jQuery AJAX Cache Issue with IE

2012-09-11T07:45:00.001-07:00

If you are having issue with jquery ajax api in IE where it keeps returning the same set of results over and over again. set cache option to false. So for example instead of using

$.ajax({ url: surl, dataType: 'json' }).done(function (data) { });

use

$.ajax({ url: surl, dataType: 'json', cache: false }).done(function (data) { });
