Developer's Corner / Re: Need code inserted into window with scrollbars; fixed percent width and height?
« Last post by publicdomain on September 02, 2023, 11:43 AM »
Some code blocks need to be just a line or two.  Any way to  do this too?
-OptimalDesigns (September 02, 2023, 10:54 AM)

Yes. Please try with:

[Select]
<pre><code style="height: auto;">

Cheers! :Thmbsup:

Looks great!  Will be testing it next week, thanks for the help  :)
-OptimalDesigns (September 02, 2023, 02:35 AM)

Glad you find it useful! Remember you can also add it to your style sheet if you want it to be applied to every "code" block in the page, in case you get to feature more than one :Thmbsup:

[Select]
<style>
code {
    max-height: 40em;
    resize: vertical;
}
</style>

Cheers!

Hello again Phil! I got your last requirement covered:

Nice to let user drag height to what is best for them.
-OptimalDesigns (August 31, 2023, 03:03 PM)

You will need to add the resize: vertical; style to the code tag, like this:

[Select]
<pre><code style="max-height:40em; resize: vertical;">

A) If the "window" is in-page, you can use a floating div.
-publicdomain (September 01, 2023, 05:45 PM)

Vic, option 'A' should do it.  Phil
-OptimalDesigns (September 01, 2023, 06:31 PM)

Super! Just posted right above about the "max-height" style :Thmbsup:

Is this your requirement?  :)

Screenshot from 2023-09-01 19-30-49_example-code.png

If so, just add the max-height style to the current code tag in your HTML page:

[Select]
<pre><code style="max-height:40em;">

I'm trying to create a 'window' like we use to send msg.s from, but with my <pre><code> ... </code in it.  No, not highlighting it.  Here is a link that will show you what your highlighting did.  The article html code is attached.
-OptimalDesigns (September 01, 2023, 05:36 PM)

Thanks for the clarification.

A) If the "window" is in-page, you can use a floating div.

B) If the "window" is separate from the page, you can use a popup on click.

Please specify your requirement! (A or B) I can provide the HTML for either (or both)  :Thmbsup:

I'm talking about a blank webpage ... need html code for the job.
-OptimalDesigns (September 01, 2023, 03:40 AM)

I'm in for the job!  :Thmbsup:

So, if I understand you correctly, you're talking about a Syntax Highlighter, such as:

https://highlightjs.org


An easy setup is this:

1) First, you need to load the highlighter from CDN:

[Select]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.8.0/styles/default.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.8.0/highlight.min.js"></script>

<!-- and it's easy to individually load additional languages -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/11.8.0/languages/go.min.js"></script>

<script>hljs.highlightAll();</script>

2) Insert the code in the tags for automatic loading:

This will find and highlight code inside <pre><code> tags; it tries to detect the language automatically. If automatic detection does not work for you, you can specify the language in the class attribute:

[Select]
<pre><code class="language-html">...</code></pre>


You can find a list of available programming languages to highlight here:

https://highlightjs.org/download


Nice to let user drag height to what is best for them.
-OptimalDesigns (September 01, 2023, 03:40 AM)

So, you are able to insert the code (and language) on the page and only need the user to control the height of the highlighted code window?

(It is doable! Even if another highlighter may be suitable. 'Where there is a will there's a way' :))

Thanks.

Please explain how to do that; what hotkeys?
-nkormanik (August 15, 2023, 02:42 AM)

Hi Nick! When you click/check the "Enable hotkeys" menu, it registers the following keyboard shortcuts:

  • SHIFT + A (Prev)
  • SHIFT + S (Next)
  • SHIFT + D (Play)
  • SHIFT + Q (First)
  • SHIFT + W (Last)

Feel free to try it if you want to trigger functionality by keyboard; some folks find it useful :Thmbsup:

Cheers!

Vic

Is the random pattern the same each and every time, or does it change each time?
-nkormanik (July 27, 2023, 03:46 AM)

Hi Nick! The default "seeding" for the C# language random generator code is used, so it should be dynamic :Thmbsup:

I'm new to DC and besides an up to now unanswered "IDEA" I think this was my first reply to a question.

I see, please have a belated WELCOME TO DC then!  :Thmbsup:



I'm only now seeing your request @ IDEA: Tray-Tool to remember & restore open Explorer-windows (Reboot or Crash)

In my case, I have all the willingness to assist the world with public domain releases, up to devoting full-time to it  :-*

I'm soon to back to the "scene" as I finish my current contracts; if your request keeps unanswered by then, I'm willing to attend it to the best of my ability :)

Cheers & congrats on the DonationCredits! That's quite a welcoming on itself

Thanks for the refreshment and appreciation Nick.

Yes, it is understood the variable to add/subtract from is the one controlling the time in between key presses  :Thmbsup:

... what coding language is best for such an assignment?
-nkormanik (July 10, 2023, 01:22 AM)

There's some foundational C# code posted @ GitHub (as mentioned). It isn't necessarily the ultimate or best language, yet it is the one I'll be using for this implementation  :)

Cheers!

Alright! Regarding the TKR program, we're starting with an advantage since there's already a previous similar PD release named "KeyLoop" in our repositories:

https://github.com/publicdomain/keyloop

(Loops a key with configurable simulated presses and delay)

Next step is to modify that code to fit this request :Thmbsup:

Hi Guys, I'm okay either way :)


As a matter of fact, there's some activity on the PM sphere between Nick and me, so, perhaps there shall be full disclosure regarding the threads appearing here on this section (?) i.e. "[For Vic]", or something along those lines, should they be directed specifically at me.

...PM's do impact public posting at times e.g. I opened the repo @ https://github.com/publicdomain/timed-key-repeat but didn't announce it as I'm telling Nick about an idea for stepped multiples of speed on keys 1-9, perhaps nitpicking over small details LoL


Hey! I aim to be a plus for this fine DC community; my life's motto is to focus on the productive&positive side hence I'm truly fine either way attending on the coding snacks space or here. No biggie from me :Thmbsup:

Post New Requests Here / Re: Create Song Playlist
« Last post by publicdomain on May 21, 2023, 08:13 PM »
Hey! This one seems like it's going to help many fellows  :Thmbsup:

nkPlaylist repo open @ https://github.com/p...licdomain/nkplaylist

"Create random playlist from keywords and folder for opening in a specific player."


So. I'm getting: indexed DB with tags support from all music files in folder for searching + limited random picking + launch generated playlist in a player set by the user.

On the way! :)

The difficulties are often in the details.

The largest problem, and likely insurmountable, lies in number of files in one's music library.

As that number becomes huge, creating even a file list to draw from becomes awful.

So, 'indexing' is thus the answer to this.  And accessing the index.

That's far more than reasonable for DonationCoder friends.

I presently use MediaMonkey, which creates an index.

But if one simply wants a fast random 25 files to quickly listen to for a bit, no easy way.  Sorry folks.

In, say, an .ini file within program folder [...]
-nkormanik (May 05, 2023, 02:42 AM)

Hi Nick! We're going to go with idiomatic XML files (.NET) instead of .ini files. Thanks to the editor GUI, chances are you're hardly going to have to edit things manually, so it makes sense for both programs to pass properties/configuration state natively :)
