I am developing a chrome addon and I want to append my own content at the end to mail content using InboxSDK. I am using the following code, but it's appending to my cursor position in Gmail Compose Box.
var cv = event.composeView;
cv.insertTextIntoBodyAtCursor('My Content');
also, I want to append content before sending mail. So, How I can achieve it using InboxSDK.
Thanks in advance
You could just get the whole messages body, modify and set the modified version as the new messages body. There is two ways to approach it.
1. getBodyElement()
Get the whole messages HTML and append whatever you want to append and set this as the new body HTML.
var $content = $(composeView.getBodyElement());
var $myContent = $('<div class="my_content">Hello World!</div>');
$content.append($myContent );
composeView.setBodyHTML($content.html());
2. getHTMLContent()
It would also work with the HTML string of the messages body.
var contentString = composeView.getHTMLContent();
var myContent = '<div class="my_content">Hello World!</div>';
contentString += myContent;
composeView.setBodyHTML(contentString);

I set a macro for my html email template like so:
message = message.Replace("\n", "<br>"); //tried with and without
message = Server.HtmlEncode(message); //tried with and without
MacroContext.GlobalResolver.SetNamedSourceData("Message", message);
But the email just renders the <br> tag as text.
I am definitely receiving the html email and not the plain text one.
If I don't manipulate the text and leave it go through with the \n intact and check the email in the sent queue, it displays as it should!
How do I get the newlines to the email template?
This is Example code that is sending the Email and works for me:
var emailTemplate = EmailTemplateProvider.GetEmailTemplate(EmailName, SiteContext.CurrentSiteID);
var message = "<br/>";
MacroResolver resolver = MacroResolver.GetInstance();
resolver.SetNamedSourceData("Message", message);
EmailMessage message = new EmailMessage();
message.From = resolver.ResolveMacros(emailTemplate.TemplateFrom);
message.Recipients = user.Email;
message.Body = resolver.ResolveMacros(emailTemplate.TemplateText);
message.Subject = resolver.ResolveMacros(emailTemplate.TemplateSubject);
EmailSender.SendEmail(SiteContext.CurrentSiteName, message, emailTemplate.TemplateName, resolver,
false);
Macro in the Email Template:
{%Message%}
Well the HtmlEncode will make your <br> look like text. At least you need to to reverse 1st and 2nd line.
EDIT: I'm not looking for Facebook APIs! I'm simply using Facebook as an example. I intend to get my browser to perform actions on different websites that likely have no APIs.
Let's say I wish to create a program that will log into Facebook, lookup my friends list, visit each one of their profiles, extract the date + text of each post and write this to a file.
I have an idea how the algorithm should work. But I have absolutely no clue how to interface my code with the browser itself.
Now I'm a Java programmer, so I would very much imagine the pesudo code in Java would be to create a Browser Object then convert the current page's contents to HTML code so that the data can be parsed. I provided an example code below of what I think it ought to look like.
However is this the right way that I should be doing it? If it is, then where can I find a web browser object? Are there any parsers I can use to 'read' the content? How do I get it to execute javascript such as clicking on a 'Like' button?
Or are there other ways to do it? Is there a GUI version and then I can simply command the program to go to X/Y pixel position and click on something. Or is there a way to write the code directly inside my FireFox and run it from there?
I really have no clue how to go about doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Browser browser = new Browser();
browser.goToUrl("http://facebook.com");
//Retrieve page in HTML format to parse
HtmlPage facebookCom = browser.toHtml();
//Set username & password
TextField username = facebookCom.getTextField("username");
TextField password = facebookCom.getTextField("password");
username.setText("user123");
password.setText("password123");
facebookCom.updateTextField("username", username);
facebookCom.updateTextField("password", password);
//Update HTML contents
browser.setHtml(facebookCom);
// Click the login button and wait for it to load
browser.getButton("login").click();
while (browser.isNotLoaded()) {
continue;
}
// Click the friends button and wait for it to load
browser.getButton("friends").click();
while (browser.isNotLoaded()) {
continue;
}
//Convert the current page (Friends List) into HTML code to parse
HtmlPage facebookFriends = browser.toHtml();
//Retrieve the data for each friend
ArrayList<XMLElement> friendList = facebookFriends.getXmlElementToArray("friend");
for (XMLElement friend : friendList) {
String id = friend.getId();
//Visit the friend's page
browser.goToUrl("http://facebook.com/" + id);
while (browser.isNotLoaded()) {
continue;
}
//Retrieve the data for each post
HtmlPage friendProfile = browser.toHtml();
ArrayList<XMLElement> friendPosts = friendProfile.getXmlElementToArray("post");
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new File("C:/Desktop/facebook/"+id));
//Write the date+text of every post to a text file
for (XMLElement post : friendPosts) {
String date = post.get("date");
String text = post.get("text");
String content = date + "\n" + text;
writer.append(content);
}
}
I think you are thinking about this the wrong way. You wouldn't really want to write a program to scrap the screen via the browser. It looks like you could take advantage of facebooks rest api and query for the data you are looking for. A link to get a users posts via rest api:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.6/user/feed
You could get their users id's from this endpoint:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/friend-list/
Then plug the user ids into the first rest endpoint that was linked. Once you get your data coming back correctly via the rest api its fairly trivial to write that data out to a file.
I am trying to do this:
Read html document "myDocument.html" with Node
Insert contents of another html document named "foo.html" immediately after the open body tag of myDocument.html.
Insert contents of yet another html document named "bar.html" immediately before the close body tag of myDocument.html.
Save the modified version of "myDocument.html".
To do the above, I would need to search the DOM with Node to find the open and closing body tags.
How can this be done?
Very simply, you can use the native Filesystem module that comes with Node.JS. (var fs = require("fs")). This allows you to read and convert the HTML to a string, perform string replace functions, and finally save the file again by rewriting it.
The advantage is that this solution is completely native, and requires no external libraries. It is also completely faithful to the original HTML file.
//Starts reading the file and converts to string.
fs.readFile('myDocument.html', function (err, myDocData) {
fs.readFile('foo.html', function (err, fooData) { //reads foo file
myDocData.replace(/\<body\>/, "<body>" + fooData); //adds foo file to HTML
fs.readFile('bar.html', function (err, barData) { //reads bar file
myDocData.replace(/\<\/body\>/, barData + "</body>"); //adds bar file to HTML
fs.writeFile('myDocumentNew.html', myDocData, function (err) {}); //writes new file.
});
});
});
In a simple but not accurate way, you can do this:
str = str.replace(/(<body.*?>)/i, "$1"+read('foo.html'));
str = str.replace(/(<\/body>)/i, read('bar.html')+'$1');
It will not work if the myDocument content contains multiple "<body ..' or '</body>', e.g. in javascript, and also the foo.html and bar.html can not contains '$1' or '$2'...
If you can edit the content of myDocument, then you can leave some "placeholder" there(as html comments), like
<!--foo.html-->
Then, it's easy, just replace this "placeholder" .
Use the cheerio library, which has a simplified jQuery-ish API.
var cheerio = require('cheerio');
var dom = cheerio(myDocumentHTMLString);
dom('body').prepend(fooHTMLString);
dom('body').append(barHTMLString);
var finalHTML = dom.html();
And just to be clear since the legions of pro-regex individuals are already appearing in droves, yes you need a real parser. No you cannot use a regular expression. Read Stackoverflow lead developer Jeff Atwood's post on parsing HTML the Cthulhu way.
My Kentico server is unable to send e-mails, so I have to transform my e-mail using MacroResolver, but send it using some other way.
var clients = new List<Client>();
var macroResolver = MacroResolver.GetInstance();
macroResolver.AddDynamicParameter("clients", clients);
var emailMessage = new EmailMessage {
From = "someone#somewhere.com",
Recipients = "otherone#somewhere.com",
Subject = "Whatever"
};
var template = EmailTemplateProvider.GetEmailTemplate(templateName, siteName);
EmailSender.SendEmailWithTemplateText(siteName, emailMessage, template, macroResolver, true);
In other words, I would like to use Kentico just as a Template Engine. Is there anyway to achieve this?
What SendEmailWithTemplateText method basically does is it fills empty fields of message by its equivalent from a template and resolve macro values in it. If you are only after message body, then you can create the email message by:
emailMessage.Body = macroResolver.ResolveMacros(emailMessage.Body);
emailMessage.PlainTextBody = macroResolver.ResolveMacros(emailMessage.PlainTextBody);
For most scenarios it's also better to tell the resolver to encode resolved values. You can do it by: resolver.EncodeResolvedValues = true;
Also you are passing whole 'clients' collection to the resolver. You'll probably need to take it one by one and generate emails in a loop.
I was looking the way to create a Task from an email at my Google Account with a filter. I've read this tutorial and it worked like a charm: http://www.pipetree.com/qmacro/blog/2011/10/automated-email-to-task-mechanism-with-google-apps-script/
The only bad thing is that the script creates a task with the subject of the message, and it's not really descriptive for me, because they are automatic messages, and all of them have the same subject.
I want the Task Title be a specific line of the email body, can anybody helpme with this?
Yes, basically you would get the message body and extract what you need from it. I'm not sure about the structure of your email but you need something in there that tells you the start and end of the task title, once you tell me what it is i can incorporate it in to the code. For now this is how you would set the body as the title.
var message = thread.getMessages()[0]; // get first message
var messagebody = message.getBody();
var body_array = messagebody.split('Sender:');
var taskTitle = '';
if( body_array.length < 2 )
taskTitle = 'No title specified in email after Sender:';
else
{
var text = body_array[1];
taskTitle = text.split('<br />')[0].trim();
}
