• HTML5 app + Facebook Javascript SDK = without hope?

  Hi, I am aware that BB10-WebWorks-samples provides the example of Facebook-OAuth-2 for the Facebook integration in an HTML5 app.

  I just confirm that it is really desperate to try to use instead of Facebook Login with Javascript SDK ? I tried to load the Javascript SDK in my HTML5 app without success.

  Hi chadtatro, your sample application works and I understand your well written code. Thank you very much!

  Just think about it... why the documentation for Facebook to use their Javascript SDK led to errors? What is their tutorial for work on other platforms?

• Javascript SDK using place the Facebook wall on site

  I am new to trying to integrate Facebook with Web sites.  I can do Twitter without problem, but Facebook raises questions.  I've went to the Facebook Developer area and generated code to place a Facebook wall on the site of a friend.  However, it does not, nor does the button I like.  What follows, I placed it in Dreamweaver:

  < body > < div id = 'fb-root' > < / div >

  < script > (function (d, s, id) {})

  var js, SJF = d.getElementsByTagName (s) [0];

  If (d.getElementById (id)) return;

  js = d.createElement (s); js.ID = id;

  js. SRC = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1 & version = v2.3;

  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore (js, SJF);

  (} (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); < /script > < / script >

  And for the plugin:

  " < div class ="fb-page"data-href = ' https://www.Facebook.com/pages/far-from-the-madding-crowd-Linlithgow/413384208733342 "data-width ="350"data-height ="500"data-hiding-cover = 'false' data-show-facepile = 'false' data-show-post ="true"> < div class ="fb-xfbml-analysis-ignore"" > < blockquote cite = " https://www.Facebook.com/pages/Far-from-the-Madding-Crowd-Linlithgow/413384208733342 " > < a href = " https://www.Facebook.com/pages/Far-from-the-Madding-Crowd-Linlithgow/413384208733342 " > far from the Madding Crowd Linlithgow < /a > < / blockquote > < / div > < / div > ""

  On the developer page on Facebook, the wall displays fine with the above code, but when I put the code in Dreamweaver CS5 (using Yosemite OSX), it only shows the name of the company as a hyperlink.  No messages.

  The same goes for if I try to put the code for the button I button to follow.

  I have been searching google for hours, but can not solve this problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Have you tested this in a browser or on a website online?

  In the script, there is the following line:

  var js, SJF = d.getElementsByTagName (s) [0];

  It declares two variables JavaScript. The value assigned to the second is d.getElementsByTagName (s) [0]. The last line of the script assigns "script" as value of s. In other words, it is looking for the first script on the page. If you have script blocks in the header of the document, it will choose that badly.

• Where can I find a list of accepted by the editor ExtendScript JavaScript operators

  As a JavaScript Newbie (but not a beginner programmer!) I find it difficult to know which JavaScript operators are accepted by ther ExtendScript Editor. I have the latest version of Pocket reference JavaScript of David Flanagan (I never look in the browser of reference part), but often I find a useful command that is not accepted by the Publisher. The lack of a proper reference me slows down considerably upward.

  Just to put a tidy end to the discussion after more thought:

  Use latest JavaScript reference - if operator is valid, ExtendScript editor will turn the blue Word, otherwise the operator is invalid or skinned - editor will also stop when it reaches an invalid operator.

  Hi simo,.

  the inclusion of the "VCPlugInHeaders.h" header file must be the first in any source code file. Then you can also activate the precompilation of this header for the improvement of the compilation.

• Poor supported for string functions in ExtendScript Javascript?

  Differences between JS and JSX is really annoying during the development of the panels, as some things work for one language and not the other.
  I just noticed that the endsWith () - string function does not work in JSX. I'm just checking if a layer name ends with a special character, like this:

  alert("lolk_".endsWith("_"));
  

  This will stop executing the script. Come on! Do I really need to use a regular expression for this kind of things super simple? This is ridiculus!

    -- Does not work: DoScript SomeExtendScript
    -- Does not work: do javascript SomeExtendScript

  ExtendScript = JavaScript Adobe-flavored. Very similar.

  For other products Adobe AppleScript has been the key to do this.

  Yes, but there is no need to limit your solution to a single platform!

  I'd be curious to see what you do in AE.

  Instead of trigger ExtendScript some system based on external data, you can put the buttons in a panel of HTML5 (JavaScript based) for convenience of the user.

  Here is an example of PProPanel; other samples in the repository prettier HTML and use modern web frameworks; PProPanel is quite comprehensive in the use of agency ExtendScript API:

  Pushing metadata to projectItems PProPanel = shows how to get the static value (metadata Panel) and temporal metadata (marker).

  Here is "how to set up a panel dev environment:

• How to merge extendScript channels?

  I'm writing a script, using extendscript/javascript which requires channels red, green and blue, available in three different images to grayscale, to merge for a RGB images.  Now of course it can be done with Photoshop layers menu, but it would very simply things for users if it could be done from javascript.  So any suggestions?  Even a mechanism to record on one channel in javascript help - then I can just do all three channels and I'm here.

  The real problem, on what it is that I have a slightly misaligned projector with RGB components, normally not a problem, but it gives artifacts colored on black and white images.  So I am trying to create an image with the red and blue components moved slightly in the opposite direction, while they plan then better.

  I've never played with channels in a script using the DOM code, but I think activeDocument.channals.getByName (name) should get the channels you need.  Names like 'RGB', 'Red', 'Green', 'Blue' should work.

  I played with Alpha channels by name using the Scriptlistener action handler code.  I load as selections get their use limits this information for resizing placed in the layers of the image, use the selection to align the resized layer and hide the layer to limit the content of the layers to the selection as the alpha channel.

  You can watch Adobe Scriptlistener plugin.

• Determine the Version of InDesign (for equivalent javascript applescript)

  I have next to no knowledge of javascript, or where to go for help? I have an Applescript easy I want to convert it to javascript.

  For starters, anyone knows the equivalent following javascript code for this line of code:

  the version of the application 'com.adobe.InDesign' myVersion id value as string

  The other part of the script, I might be able to understand mine. Unless at some point given I have to find a PC user to provide the path to the folder 'en_US' of the InDesign preferences folder.

  With the help of a File.openDialog (); would get around not knowing the path hard-coded, but defeats the purpose and effectiveness of the script. I want the end user to be able to assign a shortcut to this script, which would open so all their files in InDesign library with a simple keyboard command.

  -Determine what version of InDesign, running as a string

  Tell application id "com.adobe.InDesign".

  activate

  the version of the application 'com.adobe.InDesign' myVersion id value as string

  -Display dialog myVersion

  If myVersion begins with '6' then

  myVersion set to "version 6.0".

  Otherwise, if myVersion begins with "7.0" then

  myVersion set to "Version 7.0".

  Otherwise, if myVersion begins with "7.5" then

  myVersion set to "Version 7.5.

  Otherwise, if myVersion begins with '8.' then

  myVersion set to "Version 8.0".

  Otherwise, if myVersion begins with '9.' then

  myVersion set to "Version 9.0.

  Otherwise, if myVersion begins with "10.0" then

  Hi Jeff,

  for ExtendScript (JavaScript), you can search for properties, values and functions etc.pp. here:

  Excellent documentation of DOM of Jongware. Go for chm files, if you want to search in offline mode:

  InDesign JavaScript help

  And by Gregor Fellenz DOM documentation:

  InDesign ExtendScript API (8.0)

  InDesign ExtendScript API (10.0)

  InDesign ExtendScript API (11.0)

  If you search for 'application', you'll notice, this is a 'version' "app" object property

  var myVersion = "version"+" "+parseFloat(app.version);
  alert(myVersion);
  

  No ifs and ifs remains necessary.

• Can you add/remove elements of Tracker to adobe using the sdk?

  I wonder if there is a way to manage the adobe Tracker in a kind of sdk.  We review thousands of documents of shared review and tracker can become unmanageable.  I do not know if anyone else out there there are hundreds of files in their tracker for any time, but its quite the disaster.  In a perfect world, I'd love to be able to fill the category "Attached" via an xml file on our server or something similar but I could if there was a way for me to programatically add and remove items in the category joined (but maybe).  Of my investigation into the javascript SDK appears not to be possible even if you add things to the category of RSS.  Anyone have any suggestions for a possible solution I could try?

  Thank you!

  No access to the API to the Tracker - forgiveness.

• create a color picker

  Hello

  How could I create a color picker inserted in a window?

  Thank you

  Fred

  Hello

  I remember this one looked more complicated than it is.

  The color picker is not a real after effects user interface, but it's an OS user interface. Is not in the SDK of EI, but in the SDK of ExtendScript (JavaScript Tools Guide)

  $.colorPicker (name)

  name: the color to be shortlisted in the dialog, as an RGB hex (0xRRGGBB) value, or - 1 for the default value of the platform.

  Return number

  defaultColor var = 0xff0000;

  var color = $.colorPicker (defaultColor);

• How to get number of a character Page?

  Currently I get a character by CreateOutlines Page

  Dim oaPols = oChar.CreateOutlines (False)

  Download oaPols (1) page of the object.

  But sometimes Indesign was the crash by this code: Dim oaPols = oChar.CreateOutlines (False)

  How to get number of a character Page?

  Willi Adelberger wrote:

  Why do you do the contours? It should NEVER be done in InDesign!

  Hey Willi,

  the OP is trying to find a method to get the page name of a character given somewhere on a page or on a spread and use a VB-Script scripting method.

  The False parameter in the method indicates that the character will be duplicated on top of the character as an outline object.
  In the user interface you select a character and press and hold the ALT key when you use the menu command for this.

  Usually we take the object returned after obtaining the information of her by the script.

  But obviously something bad on the side of the OP, because InDesign crashes if this method is used on one of the sample characters. Usually a geometrical object on a page will return the page object as the value of his property in parentPage (ExtendScript).

  I'm not in VB-Script, so here's an excerpt from ExtendScript to get the name of the page in the text of a character block.

  Select a character and run the code snippet:

  // ExtendScript (JavaScript) snippet
  // One single character should be selected:
  
  var myCharacter = app.selection[0];
  var result = myCharacter.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage;
  
  if(result == null)
  {
      alert("Character's text frame is considered on the pasteboard")
  }
  else
  {
      alert("Character's text frame is considered on page: "+result.name)
  };
  

  Now, back to the createOutlines() method.

  It would fail on for example all white space characters and characters that represent a fixed page element.

  It would also fail if the character is in the overset text.

  createOutlines() would be to raise an error, but should not crash InDesign.

  Now go to the OP to the following questions:

  What is the character that you try to use the method with?

  Is there excess in text?

  What is your exact version of InDesign?
  What is the exact version of your Windows operating system?

  Kind regards
  Uwe

• Fixing of capitalization of the index

  I'm creating an index by working through the document, pointing out the words or phrases I want, press option 7 (CS4 on Mac). However, many of the words begin with a capital letter in the text while I'm envy them all lowercase in the index. I can fix it at registration. However, is there a way I could, once the index is finalized and I do not need to be updated more, change them to all lowercase letters as a batch?  At that point, they will be just like another block of text.

  Hi Mary,

  If the first character in the origin of each paragraph in the story, which contains the text of the index, start with lowercase letters?

  Then you can use an ExtendScript (JavaScript) to set the first character at the beginning of each paragraph of the selected lowercase text.

  Select all of the text, which should be assigned, and run the following script:

  app.selection[0].paragraphs.everyItem().characters[0].changecase(ChangecaseMode.LOWERCASE);
  

  For usage, mounting and installation of ExtendScript scripts scroll down page of Peter Kahrel:
