Selecting parent elements with WebdriverJS - node.js

I'm trying to create some scripts which require moving through a lot of on-the-fly HTML with random IDs. They require getting the parents of an element - but I'm not sure how to implement this in WebdriverJS.
If I access the element I want via a console, I can do the following to get it;
document.querySelector('span[email="noreply#example.com"]').parentNode.parentNode
Is there a way to do this in WDJS? I've looked and can't see anything obvious - it's specifically the parent stuff I'm having issue with. I saw that a possible solution may be xPath however I'm unsure of syntax having never used it before.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know the syntax of WebDriverJS. But the XPath is as below, you need a way to fit it in somewhere.
This is based on your CSS Selector, so please show HTML if needed.
.//span[#email='noreply#example.com']/../..
For example, if you have HTML like this
<div>
<div>
<span email="noreply#example.com">Contact me</span>
</div>
</div>
You can avoid using .. to go up.
.//div[./div/span[#email='noreply#example.com']]
If you have more levels to look up, another handy method would be using ancestor from XPath Axes.
Also, as #sircapsalot brought up, CSS selectors spec doesn't support parent selecting, so XPath is the only way to go, unless you inject JS.

TYPO3 imageManipulation focusArea in Frontend

Does anyone know how to use the TYPO3 focus area in the frontend?
TCA imageManipulation
If I use the crop attribute in the fluid-template
<f:image width="555c" height="312c" src="{article.teaserFile.uid}" treatIdAsReference="1" crop="{article.teaserFile.originalResource.referenceProperties.crop}" />
i get a serialized string in data-focus-area.
<img data-focus-area="{"x":786.1145320197,"y":96.682142857143,"width":271.44177339901,"height":270.05062857143}" src="/fileadmin/_processed_/9/b/csm_testimage_0bfc7bc724.jpg" width="657" height="566" alt="" title="Testimage">
Does the data need to be used by a JS library? Can someone recommend a library here? Because i didn't find a recommendation for a library which can handle focus Area and the attribute data-focus-area.
Or do i have to write a viewhelper giving the attributes e.g. for "jQuery focuspoint" to data-focus-x, data-focus-y, data-image-w, and data-image-h.
No, you don't need to rewrite the ViewHelpers. (It would be nice, if in the future it could be a bit better extendable then now however.)
But you can implement the jQuery Focuspoint. The only thing you need to do, BEFORE you starts the focuspoint plugin, you can transform this array into the needed values with jquery.
An exmaple from the FocusPoint documentation
$('.focuspoint').focusPoint();
So before this line, you can just simply add the values from the array as an own data attribute.
The form is different, but the logic is the same. So you have the x, y, width and height values in the focus-area array.
This would not work with responsify.js for example. It needs bottom, top, left, right values.
So yes... it won't work out of the box.
But NO, you don't need to change the PHP part, because you can solve it on the front end. (You need jQuery plugin anyway, so making some code before using it is easier.)
Changing those ViewHelpers is also a possibility of course, but you really need to rewrite their functionality (also the renderImage function to be concrete) and if you want to update it to a later version it could lead to problems.

Cannot identify the object in Selenium

I cannot identify the object of the icon showed in the attached screen shot. I have shown the HTML code as well.
The ID's are getting changed dynamically.
Can anyone guide on how to identity this kind of objects in Selenium?
If the ID is always changed, I recommend using CssSelector instead.
For instance,
<div id="running_number_12345" class="icon something">...</div>
You can use locator
driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div[class*='icon something']"));
If your icon doesn't have any specific css pattern, I recommend adding something in class attribute. If not, you have to use complex CssSelector to find it.
Try this
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".icon something"));

Advanced Orchard Theming - Object Model vs Placement.info?

I have been tasked with converting a design heavy, fairly advanced HTML template for a site into an Orchard theme and I am struggling with the best way to accomplish certain things. The theme is built on bootstrap and is a modern responsive HTML template like you might find on ThemeForest or something. The site will have a number of content types (staff members, portfolio items, partners, etc.) and will need a number of templates. The content types will have a large number of fields (upwards of a dozen) inside of custom content parts.
Based on what I have read the proper way to do theming in Orchard is using placement.info in combination with alternates, wrappers, etc. This gracefully handles if parts or properties are added/removed. However, this technique is quickly becoming overwhelming, since I have to declare the name and order of every field/part in the placement.info for every content type, and every display type of that content type. Each field of each content type then needs to be wrapped in very specific html. This creates an issue because a single page can be split out into potentially a couple dozen views, with HTML tags opening in one view and closing in another.
The best work around for this I have found is to basically ignore the placement.info file and build templates just by traversing the object model. So basically, for a portfolio page, I would copy in the template HTML I have and then replace the text values with values from the model. This might look something like:
<li class="#Display(Model.ContentItem.PortfolioPart.PortfolioCore.Value.ToLower())">
<a href="#Url.ItemDisplayUrl(contentItem)" >
#foreach (var media in Model.ContentItem.PortfolioPart.PortfolioImage.MediaParts)
{
<img src="#Display(media.MediaUrl)" />
}
<span class="type">#Display(Model.ContentItem.PortfolioPart.PortfolioCoreArea.Value)</span>
<span class="portfolio-item-content">
<span class="header">#Display(Model.ContentItem.TitlePart.Title)</span>
<span class="body">
<p>
#Display(Model.ContentItem.PortfolioPart.PortfolioTagline.Value)
</p>
</span>
</span>
</a>
</li>
The benefit with this method is that I can apply all of the values in a couple of views and it's more readable. Obviously the problem with this is that if any properties or parts are removed, the template breaks.
Is there a way in Orchard to have the best of both worlds? I can't have a wrapper or template for every field - this would end up potentially hundreds of fields by the end. I also might need to display content types in multiple places with different views - each field would then require a whole new set of wrappers or alternates for every projection.
Please let me know if I'm missing anything or if there is a better way to do this besides manually traversing to the properties I need. I need a way to be able to easily plug in properties into very specific html.
My final thought was to use very specific templates for custom content types using the object model but still provide good general templates/placement.info file so that general Orchard content is flexible but the custom content types have to stay how they are.
Side thought - I guess another option would be to wrap any code that accesses a property directly in a try catch block or some kind of error handler helper, but that doesn't seem like a "best practice".

Display content part in Orchard

I would like to be able to specify exactly where a ContentPart is rendered in a view.
For example, in my Content.Summary.cshtml I want to wrap my title and first image from the gallery (I'm using ZenGallery) in an anchor tag. I thought I would be able to do it like this but the gallery template is not rendered.
<a href="#Url.ItemDisplayUrl((IContent)Model)">
<h2>#Model.ContentItem.TitlePart.Title</h2>
#Display(Model.ContentItem.ZenGalleryPart)
</a>
But if I do the following then the gallery template (ZenGallery.Summary.cshtml) is shown along with all other parts.
#Display(Model.Content)
I understand that the recommended way to do this is probably using Placement.info, is that right? But this way makes more sense to me and would allow for more fine grain control of the end markup. How could I achieve the markup I'm looking for?
This should give you a pretty good start on doing precisely what you want: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2011/07/31/so-you-don-t-want-to-use-placement-info.aspx

Pagination on Single-Entry view in ExpressionEngine

I am building a website with ExpressionEngine as the CMS. There is a "Work" section that displays all the projects, and a detail view that shows each project individually. It is at this point, on the single-entry view that I would like to have "prev" and "next" pagination. In my tests I have made it work when the URL is "somedomain.com/index.php/work/detail/" but it does not work when the specific entry is part of the URL: "somedomain.com/index.php/work/detail/some_project/"
I've tried putting the pagination code outside of the {exp:weblog:entries} tag as well as within it, but to no avail. This is what my pagination code looks like:
{paginate}
<ul>
{if previous_page}
<li>< previous</li>
{/if}
{if next_page}
<li>next ></li>
{/if}
</ul>
{/paginate}
You are using pagination for lists of entries, what you need is the next / previous entry tags:
http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/modules/channel/entry_linking.html
Hmm. I'm not sure what the issue is here, as I've never used the {pagination} tag in that way. After checking out the docs, I see that the example code for prev/next links inside of the {pagination} tag is wrapped inside of an {exp:comment:entries} loop instead of the normal {exp:channel:entries} loop.
The docs aren't very clear about the scope of this particular feature of the {pagination} tag. You might want to double check that, in your {exp:channel:entries} loop, you haven't included pagination as a value in the disable parameter.
You could also check out the page in EE's user guide about Next/Prev Linking, which details the use of {exp:channel:next_entry} and {exp:channel:prev_entry} tags in place of the {pagination} tag that you've been using. I've used these tags without a hitch, so I definitely recommend trying them if you can't get your method to work.
Best of luck!
