[Code snippets for layout layer] - [Parse <lj user=*> tags / make "Add as User Icon" buttons]

2005-04-14T23:35:05Z

Two snippets. First, a function to parse strings for <lj user=*> and < comm=*> tags. Also includes a recursive function to find the earliest occurrence of a substring in a larger string using a binary search. These functions are useful for parsing picture or gallery descriptions.

function find_earliest_instance (string input, string subs) : int
{
  #Finds the earliest instance of substring subs in in that occurs after character start
  if (not $input->contains($subs)) {
    return -1;
  }
  var int sub_length = $subs->length();
  var int input_length = $input->length();
  
  if ($input_length == $sub_length) 
  {
    return 0;
  }
  
  var int mid2 = ($input_length / 2) + ($sub_length / 2);
  var int mid1 = $mid2 - $sub_length + 1;
  var int val;
  
  $val = find_earliest_instance($input->substr(0, $mid2), $subs);
  if ($val != -1) {

    return $val;
  }
  $val = find_earliest_instance($input->substr($mid1, $input_length), $subs);
  return $mid1 + $val;
}

The second snippet is HTML (encased in strings) for a form button that lets any user add an image's thumbnail as their own LJ user icon, assuming they're logged in. The URL, Keywords, and Comments values assume you're in Gallery View on the Super Simple style (having run $this->load_pict_descriptions()) but it's pretty simple to adapt to any view, just change $i.url, $p.title, and $p.des to the correct values for the image's thumbnail, title, and description respectively.

"""<form action='http://livejournal.com/editpics.bml' """ +
"""method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>\n""" +
"""<input type='hidden' value="url" name="src" />\n""" +
"""<input type="hidden" name="urlpic" value = "$i.url" />\n""" +
"""<input type="hidden" name="keywords" value="$p.title" />\n""" +
"""<input type="hidden" value="$p.des" name="comments" size="40" />\n""" +
"""<input type='submit' value="Add as user icon" /></form>\n</td>\n""";

I recommend setting properties in your layout for the use of these snippets. You can see an example in my modified Super Simple style, number 14200. This gallery (and each of its subgalleries) is using the style right now, if you want to see an example.

here's what i need:

categories for memories
ideas for rules about posting
responsible people who will not abuse maintainership
people who want to sort memories to the agreed upon specifications
people who want to take care of flame wars if they arise
which layout to use for the journal
what to add/change/delete on the userinfo page
people who have suggestions to this list

now... discuss!

first post

2005-01-07T01:47:08Z

how to post
post your layer code under a cut after converting all
& to &
< to <
and
> to >

this can help with the conversion.
if you use the aforementioned tool, change the <code> and </code> to <pre> and </pre> respectively.
if you dont use the aforementioned tool, please wrap your code with <pre> and </pre>.

the subject line should follow the following format:
[layout name] - [layer type] - [mini description of what your code does] - [page number (if applicable)]
layout name - apache, color hover, cornered, framed, porfoloroid, etc.
layer type - layout, user, theme
page number - page #/total pages

if your code is too long to place into a single post:
put a comment in the code saying # part 1 ends here and then in the next post put a comment in the code saying # part 2 starts here ... lather, rinse, repeat.

recommended coloring scheme (not required)
if you have comments in the code, we suggest making it green by doing something like:
comment

variable values: maroon
var string moo = "variable";

code that is currently active but can be deactivated by commenting (putting a # in front of it) it out.
active code: blue
"if($active) { print "make it blue"; }";

code that is currently inactive but can be activated by decommenting (taking # in front of it out) it.
inactive code: pink
"# if($inactive) { print "make it orange"; }";

screenshot of output
we would also like to have a screenshot available that shows the results of the code.

and finally, select the don't auto-format option. this makes the entry a lot easier to read.
