• Generating a Dynamic Date Table to Find Missing Dates

  - by Derek D.

  Generating a date table on the fly is nice to have for many reasons. The most recent of my adventures required determining when employees did not enter their time in their timesheets. I know I had a tattle tale job, the ironic part is that I ended up getting in trouble the next [...]

• SQL Date Comparison

  - by Derek Dieter

  When comparing the datetime datatype in SQL Server, it is important to maintain consistency in order to gaurd against SQL interpreting a date differently than you intend. In at least one occasion I have seen someone specify a short format for a date, like (1/4/08) only to find that SQL interpreted the month as [...]

  - by Derek

  I've Windows 7 as the Host OS, Ubuntu 12.04 as the guest and a Netgear WG111v2 as the USB Wireless device. Its connected to an open Wi-Fi network at work to bypass my works crazy strict filtering, When on the domain. I currently have network eth0 turned off in the virtualbox settings so the only network source would be through the USB device at wlan1.

I know this might be super vague just curious if anyone has tried something like this or run into anything like it to point me in a direction I might not be seeing.

• How to setup Ubuntu as a backup server for my Windows computer?

  - by derek

• Where would you implement the code to make a full screen webpage [on hold]

  - by Derek Drummond

  This will be my first time creating a website from the ground up and I would like to get some insight on how to implement a full screen site as well as some problems that may arise from it. I really like the design and layout of sites like uCast and spree. Since I am using ASP.net would this be implemented in the Master page or would this be implemented in the .ASPX file for each specific page on the site?

• Help with collision detection method [on hold]

  - by derek jones

  I was wondering if any of you could spare me some time to go over some collision detection on my platform engine. i tried XNA a few years back but for reasons i wont go into online could not continue, my health is now at a state where i am ready to try again but due to my current circumstances (and age) schooling is out of the question so i turn to you guys for help. Whilst i can adapt the MS sample ok and have some great features, you will agree modifying code is not really learning. So i have spent the last couple of week going over my old MS code and lots of stuff online and decided on what i want and have ported most of it over to code that i understand 90% of. I have my player class that moves about, jumps with gravity, has animations and a bounding box that follows it around. I have my map & basic level class to load levels from text files. Its just how i handle the collisions that i am struggling with as i will want per pixel collision on some tiles(i have code for this in a pong game i made so that should be ok). I'm pretty clear in my mind on what i need to do its just putting it in code and in the right place, here's what i was thinking. I was going to do it all in layers, have a tile layer, a collision layer & an item layer this way i could make a nice map editor in Win Forms at some point. Anyway i need to read in the collision layer the assign each tile a rectangle and collision property, and this is where i get me. Would any of you be able to spare some time and go over this with me ? I will post some code later Regards Del

• Facebook Oauth Logout

  - by Derek Troy-West

  I have an application that integrates with Facebook using Oauth 2. I can authorize with FB and query their REST and Graph APIs perfectly well, but when I authorize an active browser session is created with FB. I can then log-out of my application just fine, but the session with FB persists, so if anyone else uses the browser they will see the previous users FB account (unless the previous user manually logs out of FB also). The steps I take to authorize are: Call [LINK: graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id...] This step opens a Facebook login/connect window if the user's browser doesn't already have an active FB session. Once they log-in to facebook they redirect to my site with a code I can exchange for an oauth token. Call [LINK: graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id..] with the code from (1) Now I have an Oauth Token, and the user's browser is logged into my site, and into FB. I call a bunch of APIs to do stuff: i.e. [LINK: graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=..] Lets say my user wants to log out of my site. The FB terms and conditions demand that I perform Single Sign Off, so when the user logs out of my site, they also are logged out of Facebook. There are arguments that this is a bit daft, but I'm happy to comply if there is any way of actually achieving that. I have seen suggestions that: A. I use the Javascript API to logout: FB.Connect.logout(). Well I tried using that, but it didn't work, and I'm not sure exactly how it could, as I don't use the Javascript API in any way on my site. The session isn't maintained or created by the Javascript API so I'm not sure how it's supposed to expire it either. B. Use [LINK: facebook.com/logout.php]. This was suggested by an admin in the Facebook forums some time ago. The example given related to the old way of getting FB sessions (non-oauth) so I don't think I can apply it in my case. C. Use the old REST api expireSession or revokeAuthorization. I tried both of these and while they do expire the Oauth token they don't invalidate the session that the browser is currently using so it has no effect, the user is not logged out of Facebook. I'm really at a bit of a loose end, the Facebook documentation is patchy, ambiguous and pretty poor. The support on the forums is non-existant, at the moment I can't even log in to the facebook forum, and aside from that, their own FB Connect integration doesn't even work on the forum itself. Doesn't inspire much confidence. Ta for any help you can offer. Derek ps. Had to change HTTPS to LINK, not enough karma to post links which is probably fair enough.

• Help! I've learned jQuery... now I want to learn JavaScript

  - by Derek Adair

  I am a self-taught web developer/programmer. I started out about two years ago by learning how to make simple dynamic websites with HTML/CSS/PHP. Then I started dabbling with animation... Enter jQuery I've become quite proficient with jQuery over the last year and I've even started making my own plugins. I've spent most of my effort learning how to beautify websites with fancy effects and what not. Upon tackling my first full-blown application, I realized how under-developed my knowledge of JavaScript actually is. jQuery has allowed me to rely on its framework so heavily that I rarely use any interesting functions, techniques, or whatever that are 'native' to the JavaScript language. For example: I have a basic understanding of what a closure is... but I am unsure where this technique can actually benefit me. Although as I understand it, that's what my jQuery plugins do with (function ($){//plugin code here})(jQuery). I've seen many posts/blogs/whatever about memory leaks and circular references which is concerning. I'm frustrated because I can wrap my head around the basic concepts of what these are just by reading the articles, but I'm finding that the deeper I go the more I don't understand. The vocabulary alone is burdensome. Let alone how to actually use these techniques/functions/language features. I am trying to figure out what I don't know I'm looking to gather any advice, techniques, articles, books, videos, snippets, examples, potential pitfalls... really anything you have regarding application development with JavaScript/jQuery.

• Is this sufficient to prevent query injection while using SQL Server?

  - by Derek Adair

  Hi, I have recently taken on a project in which I need to integrate with PHP/SQL Server. I am looking for the quickest and easiest function to prevent SQL injection on SQL Server as I prefer MySQL and do not anticipate many more SQL Server related projects. Is this function sufficient? $someVal = mssql_escape($_POST['someVal']); $query = "INSERT INTO tblName SET field = $someVal"; mssql_execute($query); function mssql_escape($str) { return str_replace("'", "''", $str); } If not, what additional steps should I take?

• parse results in MySQL via REGEX

  - by Derek Adair

  Hi, I'm a bit confused on the functionality of the REGEX support for MySQL and I have yet to find a solid example on how to separate a result with REGEX within an sql statement. Example: How could I pull data from a table emails that looks something like... +-------------------------+ |Emails | |-------------------------| |[email protected]| +-------------------------+ and return something through an sql statement that looks like... +------------------------------+ |Username | Domain | TLD | |-----------|------------|-----| |some.email | yourdomain | com | +------------------------------+

• Are there any differences between SQL Server and MySQL when it comes to preventing SQL injection?

  - by Derek Adair

  I am used to developing in PHP/MySQL and have no experience developing with SQL Server. I've skimmed over the PHP MSSQL documentation and it looks similar to MySQLi in some of the methods I read about. For example, with MySQL I utilize the function mysql_real_excape_string(). Is there a similar function with PHP/SQL Server? What steps do I need to take in order to protect against SQL injection with SQL Server? What are the differences between SQL Server and MySQL pertaining to SQL injection prevention? also - is this post accurate? is the escape string character for SQL Server a single quote?

• cycle through four list elements, applying an "active" class.

  - by Derek Adair

  Hi, I would like to cycle through four li elements that all contain tags, setting the appropriate class to "active" and remove the "active" class. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to achieve this via jQuery. HTML: <ul class="liveMenu"> <li id="leftScroll"></li> <li id="liveButton_1"><a class="buttons" href="#featured_1"></a></li> <li id="liveButton_2"><a class="buttons" href="#featured_2"></a></li> <li id="liveButton_3"><a class="buttons" href="#featured_3"></a></li> <li id="liveButton_4"><a class="buttons" href="#featured_4"></a></li> <li id="rightScroll"></li> </ul> jquery: var index = 0; $("#rightScroll").click(function(){ if(index != 3){ index++; } else { index = 0; } //this part is untested, it should work though $("a.active").removeClass("active"); //this is where I am getting hung up //I need something like... $.each("li.buttons", function(i){ if(i == index){ $(this).addClass("active"); } }); }); $("#leftScroll").click(function(){ if(index != 0){ index--; } else { index = 3; } $.each("li.items", function(i){ if(i == index){ $(this).addClass("active"); } }); }); any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
