How to fix Laravel 8 blog post UI paginate problem?

2021-12-19T10:39:00.001-08:00

There are several ways to paginate items like for use in blog list. The simplest is by using the paginate method on the query builder or an Eloquent model.

I had a problem while trying out the recently released laravel 8, I'm trying to find out what the changes are and how it works. When I did that I had a problem with the paginate laravel 8 UI getting messy and somehow it happened. Is there anyone who can help me? or have experienced the same thing?

the code I use "Index.blade.php"

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('title', 'Post')

@section('contents')

@foreach ($posts as $post)

</div>

</div>

</div>

@endforeach

</div>

</div>

@endsection

code used for PostController

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Posts;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class PostsController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $posts = Posts::latest()->paginate(6);
        // dd($post);
        return view('post.index', compact('posts'));
    }
}

If you are using Bootstrap add this code in your  "app/Providers/AppServiceProvider"

use Illuminate\Pagination\Paginator;

public function boot()
{
     Paginator::useBootstrap();
}
and you're good to go.


If you tried doing adding the Paginator::useBootstrap(); in the AppServiceProvider.php and if it  didn't work try below directly in your blade file.
// Directly in your blade file
$posts->links('pagination::bootstrap-4')

Use Zoom at your own risk: Security and Privacy concerns revealed

2020-04-06T12:35:00.002-07:00

Zoom has been working to fix its security issues but there’s still quite a lot that’s unresolved. (Zoom)

Zoom video conferencing has been the talk of the town for weeks now. Due to the ongoing lockdown globally, Zoom’s popularity quickly shot up as people used it for meetings and students for online classes. However, Zoom was soon discovered to have many security loopholes.

Zoom’s CEO Eric S. Yuan even apologised for all the security issues that the video conferencing app was packed with. Zoom also announced a 90-day feature freeze to focus on security and privacy. The company also rolled out two new features aimed at making the app more secure. However, schools in the US decided to ban the video conferencing app for their online classes.

If you’re still using Zoom, these are some security issues you should be aware of.

Zoombombing

Probably the most popular Zoom security issue is zoombombing which lets just anyone easily hack into meetings and show inappropriate content. While the meeting host can remove these users from the meetings, they often come back with new accounts. This is possible because Zoom requires meeting IDs which if out in the open becomes very vulnerable.

To fix this, Zoom actually rolled out two new features which enhances the usage of passwords for video meetings. It’s also advised that users don’t share meeting IDs in public, and keep them password protected.

End-to-end encryption

A report by The Intercept revealed that Zoom’s meetings aren’t end-to-end encrypted as the company claimed. Zoom later clarified that it’s concept of end-to-end encryption is different from other companies. In simple terms, Zoom data is decrypted at the server which makes it possible for the company to see and hear conversations. The company however assured that it doesn’t decrypt user transmissions.

Email addresses, profile photos leak

Users who share the same email domain will find their email addresses in a universal company folder which is visible to all the members. This doesn’t work for major email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or Outlook.

But this isn’t the case for users who use small email clients. It happened to Dutch Zoom users who could see information like email addresses, usernames and even photos of them and others in the company folder. These users reportedly used ISP-provided email addresses

Another video shows a jaguar walking a city street at night.

According to local media, the jaguar was also spotted inside the complex of the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa in Tulum.

Meanwhile, the absence of tourists and residents in public spaces led to a leatherback sea turtle laying its eggs on the beach in front of a luxury hotel in Cancun.

Regional environment secretary Alfredo Arellano told local media: 'On average, we only see one leatherback sea turtle a year and the nesting season starts in May, it was something unusual.'
According to reports, the turtle laid 112 eggs in front of the Grand Oasis Cancun hotel.

OSI Model – Open Systems Interconnection model

2013-08-14T01:40:00.001-07:00

Definition: The OSI model defines internetworking in terms of a vertical stack of seven layers. The upper layers of the OSI model represent software that implements network services like encryption and connection management. The lower layers of the OSI model implement more primitive, hardware-oriented functions like routing, addressing, and flow control.In the OSI model, data communication starts with the top layer at the sending side, travels down the OSI model stack to the bottom layer, then traveses the network connection to the bottom layer on the receiving side, and up its OSI model stack.

The OSI model was introduced in 1984. Although it was designed to be an abstract model, the OSI model remains a practical framework for today's key network technologies like Ethernet and protocols like IP.

They are also familiar as: Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model, OSI seven layer model

Examples:

Internet Protocol (IP) corresponds to the Network layer of the OSI model, layer three. TCP and UDP correspond to OSI model layer four, the Transport layer. Lower layers of the OSI model are represented by technologies like Ethernet. Higher layers of the OSI model are represented by application protocols like TCP and UDP.

Daniel's Zakharov - Modern Wilderness

2013-06-10T23:54:00.002-07:00

Zoos are an artificial environment which aims to be a home (in the best case) warm for animals and the public, however most adults and many children who visit know, you are anything but an ideal habitat for animals. We all remember when we visited a zoo in the hope of seeing animals and instead were disappointed immensely to see the sad reality-animals who are used to travel hundreds of kilometers are confined to live within a few meters of cement.

Daniel's photographic series Zakharov, Modern Wilderness is incredibly heartbreaking, shows honestly, what life really means to captive animal. In the words of the photographer "The zoo has become home to the animals and they have lost the ancestral memory of their ancestral breeding grounds. However, to look into their eyes, one feels that recognizes your desire to seek its true destination. "

Although zoos are so far the only reality for many endangered animals, they do not cease to be a scenario in which a sort of melancholy remains elusive. Seeing the pictures is impossible not to feel an urgency to protect animals, but not locking them in cages, but returning them to their natural habitat.

Recommended Applications for Kindle Fire

2013-05-01T01:26:00.000-07:00

I really like Kindle Fire. It's nice to read on Kindle Fire and if only used to read the battery lasts two to three days. The screen size is not very versatile for reading PDFs, but it's something. When I wanted to install an additional application using the Amazon AppStore, I could not help address validation. I made a post to Make Root and Install Google Play Store and since then I have a list of applications that can be installed without compromising much performance Kindle Fire.

Dolphin Browser to change Amazon Silk. Silk browser is the exclusive Amazon Kindle Fire. It has a remote cache to Amazon Web Services and is supposed to improve browsing speed. To me it seems slow. A good alternative is to use Dolphin Browser V9, which works great on Android, has gestures, bookmarks, is lighter and maybe a little faster when you visit Twitter or Facebook.

Aldiko Book Reader ePub reader in addition to Kindle for Android Aldiko is an interesting alternative to read ePub. It is very well designed and comfortable to read books downloaded in ePub and PDF format on Kindle, which Kindle for Android Kindle Fire content does not allow.

Dropbox to complement the Amazon Cloud Dropbox is very useful if like me you hate Kindle Fire connecting the cable to the computer to fill it with files. I make a copy on your computer, it goes to the internet, gives a tour of China and Kindle Fire Wifi receives the file. You can do the same with the Amazon Cloud sending the file of interest by mail, but open the mail and attach a file is "too much work".

Adobe Reader to complement the native reader Kindle for Android Admittedly the Kindle PDF viewer is uncomfortable to read PDFs is smaller than the screen. The reader Adobe reader to adjust the sequence mode leaves fluidly PDF. The reading becomes comfortable; the zoom is set once and everyone happy.

Astro File Manager A handy file explorer set to Kindle Fire screen, something that everyone should have the default Android.

Wifi Analyzer A tool to detect Wifi Geek, calculate the signal strength, view the available channels among other things. Very useful.

Evernote Evernote could not miss, a resource available on the personal computer to take notes from the Desktop and then sync with Kindle Fire, also serves in reverse.

Mindjet. If you are used to using Xmind, the program to create mind maps useful if you are studying or organizing brainstorming, you can use this app on Kindle Fire to display and edit files Xmid slightly. Usually synchronize these files with Dropbox.

Freenote. An application that allows you to take notes, draws the free, embed and write using gestures. Great for taking notes in meetings.

For now stay adhered to this list.

Norwegian OSIRIS and Universal Design

2013-04-17T06:27:00.001-07:00

The project's overall goal has been to help provide the greatest possible equality of opportunity to use the online services.

The work has resulted in two prototypes that demonstrate the use of universal design in a public service for the change of tax via mobile phone and digital TV. This is a service aimed at the whole population, therefore the accessibility requirements have been strict. A key finding of the project is that a universally designed user interfaces for mobile phones will be very similar to a similar solution for digital TV.

The work was conducted as a supplement to Norwegian OSIRIS project, partly financed by the Norwegian Research Council. Norwegian OSIRIS project builds upon and executed in parallel with the international EUREKA / ITEA project OSIRIS. The main objective here is to strengthen the European software companies' competitiveness in the market for the production, publishing and management of online services by developing and putting together an open source infrastructure services and to test the usability of the OSIRIS platform on a set real applications. Neither the international or Norwegian OSIRIS project had the goal of universal design user interfaces in their original plans.

Activities as well as project IT Funk has therefore been linked to the use of universal design and accessibility of new technology platforms, such as mobile phones and digital television. The work was carried out in parallel with the activities of the Norwegian OSIRIS work package 4, where the Norwegian participants develop demonstrators for Tax Administration's online service portfolio of the two technology platforms. Through literature studies and empirical research and development, the project has identified the general characteristics of the available interfaces and issued guidelines for universal design of the user interface for mobile phone and digital TV.

How summarizes the basic requirements for universal design of the interface on both platforms technologist:

    The services and the user interface must be simple.
    The technology's suitability to the context of use is a critical success factor.
    Through innovative design metaphors are basically complex services can be realized on the new platforms.
    The wider the audience, the stricter the requirements of universal design.
    Technologies, not just the media converge. This provides new opportunities, introducing new challenges for service design.

Most of the project's recommendations on guidelines for universal design of electronic services may be used for both mobile phone and digital TV and is divided into the following categories:

    Navigation and Workflow
    Fault
    Search
    Input-/output mode
    Time
    Text and linguistic expression
    Audio and voice
    Graphics, shape and color
    Text and numeric information
    Help, information and support

The similarities between the two technology platforms enables both have the same tabs in the screens, the same dialogue sequences and the same intensity information. Since little information can be displayed at one time, there is a need for effective mechanisms for navigation and control of both platforms. The needs for assistance mechanisms enlarged text and use of sound is fairly identical for both mobile phone and digital TV. The physical units for management (keys on the mobile phone and the remote control for the TV) are similar and allow to use fairly similar control functions for navigation, input / output, shortcuts, etc. In addition, a set of written goals and advice that only applies to digital TV.

Service prototypes developed in the project are real and can be demonstrated on the cell phone and digital TV in Tellu AS laboratory. The prototypes illustrate a number of features demonstrate on both platforms, based on recommended guidelines for universal design of electronic services. Among other things, demonstrated the possibilities to change the font size, font, background color, use of sound reading of the text, easily visible scroll bars for vertical navigation, frames showing active fields, use of color to indicate incorrect or incomplete input, and many other useful functions. Below are some examples of universal design in demonstrate for changing the tax deduction. Several examples are documented in the final report.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review

2013-02-27T22:09:00.000-08:00

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, the commitment Firefox OS, Sony Xperia Z and future fourth generation connections among the highlights of technology event in Barcelona closes its doors after successful participation at MWC 2013.

In this trend toward big and already started with your Samsung Note II 5.5 inch-considered by many as unnecessary, the South Korean firm jumps into the ring with the Galaxy Note 8.0 that aims to rival the iPad Mini. Among some novel features are S Pen and a bluetooth with some features that extend to the point of being able to make calls even though aesthetically be a little odd.

Is 'phablet' is the largest market for Samsung with its 8-inch screen resolution 1.280x800 pixels, which appears inside a Exynos Quad-Core cortex A9 processor with 2 GB of RAM and memory 32GB internal, expandable through microSD cards. All a 'monster' that can do more than one rethinks the possibility of being unfaithful to Apple.

Basically it looks like a large Galaxy Note 2 and the key features are pretty similar with a few enhancements here and there. At the briefing, Samsung confirmed that it delivers the same 1.6 Ghz Exynos Quad-Core cortex A9 than its smaller sibling. Additional similar features include a 1280×800 resolution (1280×720 in the Note 2), Android 4.1.2 and the S-Pen supports with 1024 pixel levels of pressure sensitivity.

The LCD display has nothing special and it features almost the same resolution as the Galaxy Note 2 for a larger size. The consequence is a lower pixel density of 189 ppi. To the surprise of tech experts Samsung went against the current high pixel density trend started by the HTC Droid DNA, Huawei Ascend D2, Sony Xperia Z, ZTE Grand S and followed at MWC by the LG Optimus G Pro.

We suspect that the S-pen is a better price worth feature, and the display being one of the most costly components. Samsung may save money with a lower resolution that is still better for consuming content.
