I want to get the href attributes from the given HTML code so that i can go inside the link and scrape some data from it.
<div class="cb-col cb-col-67 cb-rank-plyr"> <a class="text-hvr-underline text-bold cb-font-16" href="/profiles/1643/aaron-finch" title="Aaron Finch's Profile">Aaron Finch</a> <div class="cb-font-12 text-gray">AUSTRALIA</div> </div>
<div class="cb-col cb-col-67 cb-rank-plyr"> <a class="text-hvr-underline text-bold cb-font-16" href="/profiles/10863/fakhar-zaman" title="Fakhar Zaman's Profile">Fakhar Zaman</a> <div class="cb-font-12 text-gray">PAKISTAN</div> </div>
I want to get the attributes of href and save it to a list.
You can use regular expressions to parse out thinks in the HTML such as that href tag.
Here is an article explaining that: https://medium.com/#tracy_blog/regex-and-selenium-2c5a89f23a17
To accomplish this, I would consider using get_attribute(name) over a regular expression.

I have two different kinds of indexes both are working fine at least in the search preview of my local index.
I added both of them to my smart search part in indexes area, one is a page crawler and the second is a custom index that searches in the media library.
The issue is that the results just match with the results of the crawler and are not showing anything of the custom index.
I think the problem is my smartSearchResults transformation because each time that I try to add a field from the custom index I'm getting an error that the value does not exist.
my question is how to use both indexes to retrieve all the results in the same web part?
this is how looks the trasformation
<div class="result">
<!-- Search result title -->
<div>
<a href='<%# SearchResultUrl() %>'>
<%#SearchHighlight(HTMLHelper.HTMLEncode(CMS.Base.Web.UI.ControlsHelper.RemoveDynamicControls(DataHelper.GetNotEmpty(Eval("Title"), "/"))), "<span style='font-weight:bold;'>", "</span>")%>
</a>
</div>
<p class="content">
<%#
IfCompare(GetSearchValue("UseCustomContent"), true,
SearchHighlight(LimitLength(HTMLHelper.StripTags(Eval<string>("Content")), 280), "<strong>", "</strong>"),
SearchHighlight(LimitLength(HTMLHelper.StripTags(GetSearchValue("CustomContent").ToString()), 280), "<strong>", "</strong>")
)
%>
</p><!-- content -->
<%-- MEDIA LIBRARY CONTENT--%>
<div>
<%#GetSearchValue("FileName") %>
</div>
<div class="file">
<i class="<%# GetFileIconClass(Eval<string>("documentExtensions")) %>"></i>
</div><!-- file -->
</div>
</div>
But I'm getting no results message
When getting specific field values from a search index you cannot use the simple Eval("ColumnName"). You have to use another method, GetSearchValue("ColumnName"). The Eval() method works mainly with the following columns Title, Content, Image. If you're already using the GetSearchValue() method then you need to update your question to reflect what you're using or have already tried.
You will have to check if the value exists before you try to use it. You can use IfEmpty for this. An Example:
<%# IfEmpty(GetSearchValue("Email"),"","<span class='label'>Email</span>")%>
<%# IfEmpty(GetSearchValue("Email"),"",GetSearchValue("Email"))%>
I'm trying to add a new field named "AlternateLink" to our news page types.
Currently the "Read More" button goes to the full article page with the following:
Read More
I've updated it to:
Read More
but even with a link in the Alternate Link field (see attached image), it always links to the full article page instead of the alternate link.
I tried the same IfEmpty statement with other existing field names such as "NewsTitle" or "NewsImage" and those seem to work so the issue seems to be "AlternateLink" field name.
I created a field with the ID of "AlternateLink" as a text box. Am I missing another step to make it capture the value?
EDIT: AlternateLink is the only new thing I'm adding. All of the existing values (NewsTeaser, NewsTitle, NewsSummary, etc.) all work. Full code:
<div class="blog-post col-md-12 clearfix">
<cms:Media ID="mTeaser" runat="server" Url='<%# Eval("NewsTeaser") %>' Class="img-responsive" />
<h2 class="blog-title"><%# Eval("NewsTitle",true) %></h2>
<div class="post-info">
<i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i><%# GetDateTime("NewsReleaseDate", "MMMM dd, yyyy") %>
</div>
<p><%# Eval("NewsSummary") %></p>

<span class="hr col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12"></span>
</div>
You don't need Eval for Text/XML transformations.
Have you checked columns field of the web part, that shows news on the page? Make sure AlternateLink column is also listed there.
Have you tested using just <%#Eval("AlternateLink",true)%> to see what it returns?
Looks like your code is {%Eval("AlternateLink",true)%} when it should be {%AlternateLink%}. <%#%> is for ASPX Transformations. {%%} is for Text/XML transformations, which it looks like you are using.
Could you please try this.

Let’s say that I have a carousel on my index page.
Inside the template for index, it loads a particular channel, “Foo”
<div "slider">
<ul class="slides">
{exp:low_reorder:entries set="foo" dynamic="no"}
<li class="foo_{entry_id}">
<div class="container">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span12">
{foo_html}
<style type="text/css">{foo_css}</style>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
{/exp:low_reorder:entries}
</ul>
</div>
That channel, naturally, has a list of content items
I want the list of content items displayed to exclude one of the items in the channel if the referrer is not bing.
Can anyone show me the way that they would go about accomplishing that? I'm not getting any traction on the ellislab forum.
I whipped up a plugin for you, which you can find here
You can wrap the item in a conditional using that plugin to check if it should be output.
I have a snippet called sidebar with the following code.
<div id="ebook_offer">
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="about_blog">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="testimonials">
</div>
<div id="demo" dynamic="no" limit="1">
</div>
<div id="recent posts">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit=5 offset=1}
<h3>Recent Posts</h3>
<li>{title}</li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div "connect">
</div>
<div = "subscribe">
{exp:mailinglist:form list="blog_list" form_id="blog_subscribe"}
<h3>Subscribe</h3>
<p>First Name <input type="text" name="first_name"="{first_name}"></p>
<p>Email <input type="text" name="email" value="{email}"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="submit"></p>
{/exp:mailinglist:form}
</div>
This snippet is called inside the index.php template for blog template group and the code is as follows:
<div id="blog_display">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog" limit="5"}
<h2>{title}</h2>
{author}
{if blog_images} <img src="{blog_images}" alt="blog image {title}" class="some_class" />
{/if}
{teaser}
<p>comments {comment_total} </p>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
{sidebar}
I also have channel called sidebar with fields such as ebook_offer, about_blog, recast posts, testimonials, subscribe. I can get the subscribe forms to show up. I can see recent posts on my webpage but can't see any of the content that has been filled in about_blog field.
Anyone know why blog channel works but not my sidebar channel.
I'm not quite sure what the problem is exactly without having all of your code in front of me, but it could be a few things. For starters, if your blog homepage template has an {exp:channel:entries} tag in it, and you're including the snippet inside of that tag, you'd run into problems. You can't nest an {exp:channel:entries} inside of another.
Also, channel entry tags are set to dynamic by default. They will look at the URL for hints about what entries to pull from the database. Try adding the dynamic="no" parameter to your sidebar entries tag, which you can learn more about here. This should make the tag ignore the page's URL, which is what you want. You might also want to add the limit="1" parameter to that tag as well, to ensure that only one sidebar entry is being rendered.
Please let me know if neither of those answers help!
The best strategy would be to move what's in your snippet into a separate template file while you try to figure this out. I noticed a couple of things that seem off to me in your sidebar snippet code.
<div id="ebook_offer">
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
<div id="about_blog">
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
This doesn't really seem the right way to use the {exp:channel:entries} tag. You mentioned "ebook_offer" was a channel field. But here you're using it as a static id for an HTML div. If "ebook_offer" is a field I would expect something like this:
<h3>Ebook</h3>
{exp:channel:entries channel="test"}
{ebook_offer}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Same with "about_blog"
<h3>About Obsia's Blog</h3>
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar"}
{about_blog}
{/exp:channel:entries}
Also I noticed you said the channel was named "sidebar" but in your {exp:channel:entries} tag you're using "blog_sidebar". Which isn't the same thing, is your channel's shortcode "sidebar" or "blog_sidebar"?
Finally this is a little off to me
<div id="demo" dynamic="no" limit="1">
</div>
"dynamic" and "limit" only work on ExpressionEngine {exp:channel:entries} tags, not regular HTML elements (like DIVs). I would try using Bitmanic and Peter's suggestion again, but apply it to {exp:channel:entries} like so:
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog_sidebar" dynamic="off"}
...
{/exp:channel:entries}
If you're new to ExpressionEngine I highly recommend videos & tutorials by Ryan Ireland http://eeinsider.com/videos
I am calling jsp on <a href> tag like this
<div align="left"><%=searchList1.getProjid()%></div>
I want to get the value of searchlist1.getProjid in UpdateProject.jsp
How can I do it... please suggest me with example code.
You can send it as parameter:
<div align="left"><%=searchList1.getProjid()%></div>
And then use it in the new jsp like:
request.getParameter('projid');
