~ Not everything is star-worthy...

@KennyBOT @rene can we tell what has been starred?

@ShadowWizard You like summer, when it's not soup @ShadowWizard ?

@ShadowWizard yes, I know the message_id, not the user who starred.

@JoErNanO no, too cold

@rene nice... Think it will be good idea to expose it?

@ShadowWizard i'm considered to "be here"? :o yeah quite good, pays way less, but its cooler :)

and i got a looooooooot to do :x

@ShadowWizard what would be the idea then? To have the BOT respond with [this](link to chat message) is not star-worthy?

@ClemensHimmer so ask for a raise... ;)

@rene or just have the "everything" link, without changing the wording. :)

Ok, will work on that tonight

:)

@ShadowWizard It's used like 3 times in a year and no spell has been awarded for over a year... let's be honest, it's dead. If I can sacrifice a totally unused feature for compacter and cleaner code, surely I do that.

@ShadowWizard 5 months in and asking for a raise? uuuhm well

i dont think so ^^

@ClemensHimmer oh well, at least you don't have lots of expenses... :)

@Sha ^

got the answer....

@DroidDev cheers!

~ Woman in the Shadow

@Sha you know how can I manually call a click on something in jquery

something like below:

    $('id-of-view').click(function (e) {
          e.preventDefault();  //stop the browser from following
          window.location.href = arr[i];
   });

$("#id-of-view").click();

IIRC that's just:

... what @Sha just said

xD

:)

but I need to get the click event also, and then do that window.location.href and e.preventDefault(); thingies

@DroidDev no sure I follow?

You mean change the handler?

umm...lemme try your method first

@ShadowWizard umm...yeah, I need to have a handler on click and must do those two lines of code inside it, that I posted above

that allows me to download multiple files from aws directly via their urls

@DroidDev that's what it will do...

@DroidDev not really, once you change the window.location.href, you lose control over the page.

It's redirecting to the URL.

$("#id-of-view").click(function (e) {
       e.preventDefault();  //stop the browser from following
       window.location.href = arr[i];
   });

I tried above

@ShadowWizard that's why e.preventDefault()

@DroidDev it's meaningless.

it prevents page from following and just downloads my links

Page will redirect because you say it to redirect with a JS command.

@ShadowWizard umm..its actually working somewhere else. On an anchor tag

function downloadmultiplefiles() {

        $('#AttachmentsList').find('tr').each(function () {

            var row = $(this);
            if (row.find('input[type="checkbox"]').is(':checked')) {
                var url = row.find('.downloadfilefroms3');

                url[0].click(function (e) {
                    e.preventDefault();  //stop the browser from following
                    window.location.href = row.find('.downloadfilefroms3').attr('href');
                });

            }

this is working, without redirecting page to anywhere

it just downloads files

Try using iframe and change its src instead of changing window.location.href

umm....lemme see

Also, what are the URLs? @Dro

Maybe if it's a file, the browser is smart enough to just download it, and not actually redirect.

But it's browser dependant, and better not be used this way IMO.

@ShadowWizard those are files stored on aws. But, browser opens them if I just put redirect there. I need to force browser to download them all at once

@ShadowWizard Yes, indeed. If it's a HTML document, the browser will surely redirect. If it's like a .zip file or something, it will download.

@ProgramFOX but resume control of JS from where you redirected? Not sure...

hm no idea

Anyway, using iframe should be better, no? @Pro

I guess

Personally I think I'd just have a <a>with the HTML5 download attribute and let the user decide when they want to download the file

I usually just give target to the links, and let users allow popups if they wish.

Don't love forcing anything.

hmm...maybe I can try to use iframe with hidden attribute and then put js on that page's .ready()

to download it

@DroidDev Do you have server-side code?

@DroidDev yup that should work

@ProgramFOX yeah, I have

But you can't force download with client side code only, @Dro.

@ShadowWizard I am actually doing it somewhere else, with some other things. Posted code above

@DroidDev If you want to download "them all at once", you could make your server generate a .zip/.tar/.tar.gz/... of all files and throw that at you. I have no idea what your use case is though.

@DroidDev that's not forcing any download. e.g. text file won't be downloaded.

@ProgramFOX actually, they are not on my server, they are on aws, so....

@DroidDev You mean?

@ShadowWizard they are. Not only text, but any kind of file. It downloads, since I am preventing browser from opening the file with e.preventDefault()

the location.href is then forced to download the file

@ProgramFOX the files, that I have to download, are public urls of aws storage server. If you type them in browser, they'll open the file, depending on browser's support

Ah

Well, I think your best bet is still to use the HTML5 'download' attribute, @Dro - developer.mozilla.org/nl/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a

> This attribute instructs browsers to download a URL instead of navigating to it, so the user will be prompted to save it as a local file.

oh...let me see it. I think this should do the job

umm...its used inside anchor tag. I am getting list of strings from my api

I only have urls in jquery

well

then create <a> elements dynamically

with the URLs when you get them

hmm....gotta search on that too. Lemme google this

Also, I think you're misinterpreting .preventDefault. What it does, is avoiding that the default action on an event gets triggreed. So in case if a link click, preventDefault prevents the browser from navigating to the page. But if you then do location.href = ..., you're just simulating the link again.

@ProgramFOX umm....the click function is on anchor tag defined in html, so when I trigger manual click, it prevents the default and downloads file. This is one hack that I found on SO somewhere

(which, however, may be useful if you want to redirect the user to another page to where the link itself points too, but I don't see any use for that aside from needlessly hiding the real location from users, so I don't think you would need that :P)

but you are right about misinterpretation (woah, that word took a while to get written)

@DroidDev Hmm, well if the said file is a text file, and you navigate to it with location.href, it would still navigate to that page, rather than download it, no?

@ProgramFOX it downloads, I have tried with a text, pdf, word and an image file

all at same time.

oh okay

it goes for multiple downloads

hadn't expected that

good to know, I guess

might come handy some day ;)

@DroidDev so the AWS server is forcing the download, not your code. :)

(something with the headers)

oh yeah that's true, servers can do that

@ShadowWizard if I try without e.preventDefault() my browser opens the file

with it, it downloads the file

Well, that's weird.

throwing @ber on @Dro

haha

Now that should fix things up. :D

lol almost forgot @ber also pings @Ber :P

So now throwing @ber on @Dro means throwing two people on @Dro :D

is @bers pregnant? :P

LMFAO

@DroidDev both males so no... :(

I suspect @Ber is teenager, 15-17 y/o, and pretty much innocent... :D

@ShadowWizard doesn't look that way from avatar, but if you say so

@DroidDev it's a friend of his

oh

ho

@Ber why so silent? :(

!!blame

@ShadowWizard blames @Fawad for everything

@ShadowWizard Nah I'm older than that :P

@ShadowWizard because I was answering some questions on Chem.SE

so we have two @Ber's now, confusing :P

@ProgramFOX You can always type @Holmes :P

However, @Holmes doesn't ping you :)

Oh!

Feature request!

!!blame/@ProgramFOX

~ That is all gibberish to me...

Huh?

lol, !! is a prefix used by a non-!!blame-able bot here

@ProgramFOX but how do I blame a specific person using that bot

!!blame

@ProgramFOX blames @Berry Holmes for everything

(idk let me try to find out)

!!blame Berry

!!blame testtest

Well, @Berry, you can't :P

@ProgramFOX :(

!!blame

uhh...

!!blame

@rene ^ The bot doesn't reply? I blame you!

KennyBOT is perhaps taking a nap

@ProgramFOX 6 minutes

@rene Oh, why is there a timeout?

because you can't be trusted to not abuse it

With you I mean all regulars in this room of course

And no hard feelings

throwing hard feelings on @rene

!!blame

@ShadowWizard blames @maňish for everything

Throwing hard @ShadowWizard on @rene

.... kinky ....
