I have a Google Custom Search snippet in a page, say search.php and it seems to work fine if I use it from that page.
However, I'd need to somehow make it recognize GET arguments, so that for instance if I loaded search.php?q=test, it would directly search for test.
Is there a way to make it do that?
I found I can use CustomSearchControl's execute method.

I would like to get images from a search engine, to run some automated tests without the need to go online and pick them by hand.
I found an old example from 5 years ago (ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/images), which sadly does not work anymore. What is the current method to do so in Python3? Ideally I would like to be able to pass a string with the search name, and retrieve a set amount of images, at full size.
I don't really mind which search engine is used; I just want to be sure that it is supported for the time being. Also I would like to avoid Selenium; I am planning to run this without any UI nor using the browser, all from terminal.
Have you heard of pixabay? There is a nice python wrapper for working with it as well.
Found a pretty good solution using BeautifulSoup.
It does not work on Google, since I get 403, but when faking the header in the request, is possible to get sometimes, data. I will have to experiment with different other sites.
So far the workflow is to search in the browser so I can get the url to pass to beautifulsoup. Once I get the url in code, I replaced the query part with a variable, so I can pass it programmatically.
Then I parse the output of beautifulsoup to extract the links to the images, and retrieve them using requests.
I wish there was a public API to get also parameters like picture size and such, but I found nothing that works currently.
I want to define a new template called "product".
This template calls an external service and retrieves the information about that specific product. That is easily done with a custom plugin that access the product information. Information on how to do that has been found here.
However, I would like that the URL of the page would be something like:
/product/<id>/<seo-friendly-description>
So I can retrieve in the Twig template both <id> and <seo-friendly-description> which will be used later to retrieve the specific product information.
I have tried to find something that could help in the documentation, without success. Could someone either point me to the right doc section or highlight the basic steps that shall be achieved so I can start solving this issue?
Just in case it helps, I am trying to find something similar to how bottle or other web frameworks work:
#route('/hello/<name>')
def greet(name):
return 'Hello ' + name
I've been building a family recipebook into my own website and I've been working through a similar problem. I haven't quite worked out all the kinks, but my solution is mostly working if you want to checkout my github repo.
In short, you need the plugin to watch what the active route is. If the route matches, you then create the page and populate it using your plugin data.
I haven't quite figured out how to get the active page to highlight in the navigation menu for generated pages, but you might still find this solution helpful.
I'm trying to find a way to check if my rdfa-parser (written in nodejs) is working.
So I have an rdfa-parser, which should print all triples, found in a file or url (with rdfa-syntax).
So far I know, that there are testsuits for RDFa-parsing (http://rdfa.info/test-suite/rdfa1.1/html5/manifest), but I'm not sure how to use them.
Is there a good webpage, where this is described? Or can anyone help me in another way?
There should be some information at the rdfa.info/tests site. Basically, you need a service that will accept a GET request, where the "uri" query parameter points to the input file. The service then parses the file, and returns some other form of RDF, typically N-Triples. More information on the Github page: https://github.com/rdfa/rdfa-website/blob/master/README.md
Need a way to pass a value between to pages using URL query strings if possible. However everytime I add "?customquery=customvalue" at the end it ends up to the 404 page of the website.
I want to basically make it look like this.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world?customquery=customvalue
hello+world is a document that is equivalent to a webpage.
I tried this plus a javascript that collects the strings after the number sign and it works.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world#customvalue
However, I couldn't use the hash sign because they told me not to use it and use another unique symbol instead. I am not aware of any symbols that could work the same with hash sign. If there is, please enlighten me.
Apparently, I was able to find an answer.
https://example.com/somedepartment/sample.nsf/page/hello+world?OpenDocument&RandomParam=sample
Now I could pass values by means of this format. Basically it has to be preceded by "OpenDocument" parameter before putting custom ones.
This documentation also helps: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/lotus/library/ls-Domino_URL_cheat_sheet/
When I replace the two options in this web call directly in the URL, I don't get the expected results.
https://secure.trademark-clearinghouse.com/tmch/public/labels?name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
Do I need to build a web form to use this web call?
Or am I replacing the options incorrectly?
Thanks.
Apparently you are using URL parameters to send some information
name=a%26b&jurisdiction=BX
means:
parameterName=parameterValue separed by "&" symbol.
in your case:
name="aɫb"
jurisdiction="BX"
If you want to just read that, will work without a form.
Any further explanation we will need more information about what do you want to do. But this symbol between the "a" and "b" is strange. As you can see here http://www.nicolas-hoffmann.net/utilitaires/codes-hexas-ascii-unicode-utf8-caracteres-usuels.php the code %26b is "ɫ" if you really want this in your data... it's okay.
