ie 6 png fix – ie 6 png issue solutlion with css and/or js

November 6, 2009 — samsami2u

The issue is with png type of images that are not properly displayed in ie 6 (internet explorer – Version 6). I found the solution somewhere on internet while googling.

Okay, so the solution goes as below:

1) download the files needed for the solution from http://demo.avidindiainc.com/ie6pngfix/ie6PNGFixDownload.zip

2) There are 5 files in the directory after you unzip it. They are  blank.gif, iepngfix.htc, iepngfix_tilebg.js, iepngfix.php and .htaccess.

3) for solving the issue the two files blank.gif and iepngfix.htc are enough. i will explain them first and we’ll go for the rest files later.

4) Copy and paste iepngfix.htc and blank.gif into your website folder.

5) Copy and paste this into your website’s CSS or HTML:

<style type=”text/css”>
img, div { behavior: url(iepngfix.htc) }
</style>

6) now the other  files work as follow. If you want support for CSS1 background-repeat and background-position, make sure you include the add-on .JS file in your <head>:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”iepngfix_tilebg.js”></script>

7) Suppose if it works offline but not online, in this case you may have a MIME type problem. You must ensure your server is sending the correct MIME type of “text/x-component” for .HTC files. Try one of these two easy fixes:

  • Upload the “.htaccess” file from within this script’s download ZIP to your webserver, which will make Apache send the correct MIME type.
  • Instead of calling “IEPNGFIX.HTC” from your CSS, upload IEPNGFIX.PHP to the same folder and call that instead, which also sends the right MIME type.

Thats all folks. I hope this solves your issue with ie6.

Couldn’t get short alias for (

September 20, 2009 — samsami2u

The below query didn’t worked for me and gave me the error “Couldn’t get short alias for ( re” and so i did removed the spaces from between every ‘or’ and brackets ‘(‘. i have added the modified query below the original query.

$restaurant = Doctrine_Query::create()
->select(‘re.*’)
->from(‘ReservationHoursSetting re’)
//->where(“re.id <> ? AND re.reservation_setting_id = ? AND ( (re.hr_from > {$hourFrom} AND re.hr_from < {$hourTo}) OR (re.hr_to > {$hourFrom} AND re.hr_to < {$hourTo}) )”, array($HourID, $restaurantSettingID) )
//->where(“re.id <> ? AND re.reservation_setting_id = ? AND ( ( re.hr_from BETWEEN {$hourFrom} AND {$hourTo} ) OR ( re.hr_to BETWEEN {$hourFrom} AND {$hourTo} ) OR ( {$hourFrom} BETWEEN re.hr_from AND re.hr_to )  OR ( {$hourTo} BETWEEN re.hr_from AND re.hr_to ) )”, array($HourID,$restaurantSettingID) )
->where(“re.id <> ? AND re.reservation_setting_id = ? “, array($HourID,$restaurantSettingID) )
->andWhere(“((re.hr_from > {$hourFrom}  AND re.hr_from< {$hourTo})

OR (re.hr_to > {$hourFrom} AND re.hr_to < {$hourTo})

OR (re.hr_to > {$hourFrom}  AND re.hr_from < {$hourFrom})

OR (re.hr_to < {$hourTo}  AND re.hr_from > {$hourTo})

OR (re.hr_to = {$hourTo}  AND re.hr_from = {$hourFrom}))”)
->fetchArray();

====================

$restaurant = Doctrine_Query::create()

ajax in internet explorer (ie) hangs up or Microsoft.XMLHTTP not working in ie

September 19, 2009 — samsami2u

here is the possible solution:

function getHTTPObject() {

var httpObject = null;
// I think the issue has something to do with this area of code… (1)

if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
try {
httpObject = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
} catch (e) {
try {
httpObject = new ActiveXObject(“Msxml2.XMLHTTP”);
} catch (e) {}
}
}
else if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,…
httpObject = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (httpObject.overrideMimeType) {
httpObject.overrideMimeType(‘text/html’);
}
}
if (httpObject == null) {
alert(‘Cannot create XMLHTTP instance’);
}
return httpObject;

}

now add the below given code:

var reqNum = rand(1,1000);
url_add = url_add + “&reqnum=” + reqNum;

httpObject.open(“GET”, “levels_dropdown.php?performance_id=” + url_add, true);

httpObject.send(null);

for the rand() function:

function rand (min, max) {

var argc = arguments.length;
if (argc === 0) {
min = 0;
max = 2147483647;
} else if (argc === 1) {
throw new Error(‘Warning: rand() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given’);
}
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max – min + 1)) + min;

function rand (min, max) {
// http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
// +   original by: Leslie Hoare
// +   bugfixed by: Onno Marsman
// %          note 1: See the commented out code below for a version which will work with our experimental (though probably unnecessary) srand() function)
// *     example 1: rand(1, 1);
// *     returns 1: 1

var argc = arguments.length;
if (argc === 0) {
min = 0;
max = 2147483647;
} else if (argc === 1) {
throw new Error(‘Warning: rand() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given’);
}
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max – min + 1)) + min;

/*
// See note above for an explanation of the following alternative code

// +   reimplemented by: Brett Zamir (http://brett-zamir.me)
// -    depends on: srand
// %          note 1: This is a very possibly imperfect adaptation from the PHP source code
var rand_seed, ctx, PHP_RAND_MAX=2147483647; // 0×7fffffff

if (!this.php_js || this.php_js.rand_seed === undefined) {
this.srand();
}
rand_seed = this.php_js.rand_seed;

var argc = arguments.length;
if (argc === 1) {
throw new Error(‘Warning: rand() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given’);
}

var do_rand = function (ctx) {
return ((ctx * 1103515245 + 12345) % (PHP_RAND_MAX + 1));
};

var php_rand = function (ctxArg) { // php_rand_r
this.php_js.rand_seed = do_rand(ctxArg);
return parseInt(this.php_js.rand_seed, 10);
};

var number = php_rand(rand_seed);

if (argc === 2) {
number = min + parseInt(parseFloat(parseFloat(max) – min + 1.0) * (number/(PHP_RAND_MAX + 1.0)), 10);
}
return number;
*/
}

just add the code given below to your homepage from admininstration cms management.

{{block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.category" template="catalog/category/list.phtml"}}

===========================================
<?php foreach ($this->getStoreCategories() as $_category): ?>
<?php $open = $this->isCategoryActive($_category); ?>
<?php
$cur_category=Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($_category->getId());
$layer = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/layer');
$layer->setCurrentCategory($cur_category);
if ($immagine = $this->getCurrentCategory()->getImageUrl()):
?>

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 30px; text-align: center;">
<div class="linkimage">
<p>
<a href="<?php echo $this->getCategoryUrl($_category)?>">
<img src="<?php echo $immagine ?>" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getCurrentCategory()->getName()) ?>" width="135" height="135" />
<?php echo $_category->getName()?>

curl not working with https

September 1, 2009 — samsami2u

Today i was facing this issue. I had implement rpxnow for open ID on a website a. which used CURL for xml services.

The implementation was working fine on our server. But when client moved teh code to their server it stopped working.

First i checked that CURL is enabled on their server, but CURL was working perfectly fine for urls like “http://www.google.com”. Then i found that the issue was with the “https” sites.

So this is what solved my issue:

Add the below code to your curl options:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

This solved my problem.

xml parser in php

July 9, 2009 — samsami2u

There is a build in function in php using which you can parse xml file to an array. I have an example created for the same, and it goes as mentioned below:

$xmlString = $raw;
$xmlParser = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($xmlParser, $xmlString, $values, $main);
xml_parser_free($xmlParser);

print_r(‘<pre>’);
echo “<b>Main array</b><br>”;
print_r($main);
echo “<br>”;
echo “<b>Values array</b><br>”;
print_r($values);
print_r(‘</pre>’);

Thanks,
