hide the reply option for all the commented wireposts in the "thewire posts"

This option is implemented by checking whether the comment text has a @ and if so, we just indent it and hide the reply link from the user so that this comment cannot be commented.

/home/webmaster/public_html/mod/thewire/views/default/object/thewire.php

1. check for the @ in the text
[code]
    $haystack= $vars['entity']->description;
    $needle = "@";

    if($haystack[0] == $needle)
        $shallIndent = TRUE;
    else
        $shallIndent = FALSE;
[/code]

2. use the indentation for the div which is a comment or a reply to a post made earlier.
[code]
if($shallIndent)
    {
        ?>

<div class="thewire-singlepage" style="margin-left:50px">
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<div class="thewire-singlepage">
    <?php
}
?>
[/code]

3. code to display the link only when the user is logged in and when this post is not indented.
[code]
<?php
    if (isloggedin() && !($shallIndent))
    {
        ?>
    <a href="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>mod/thewire/add.php?wire_username=<?php echo $vars['entity']->getOwnerEntity()->username; ?>" class="reply">
        <?php echo elgg_echo('thewire:reply');
?>
[/code]

4. The reply url is now modified to accomodate the parent post id like this in the file : /home/webmaster/public_html/mod/thewire/views/default/object/thewire.php
[code]
<a href="<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>mod/thewire/add.php?wire_username=<?php echo $vars['entity']->getOwnerEntity()->username; ?>&pid=<?php echo $_tpId;?>" class="reply">
[/code]

5. Now get this parent postid in the forms page so that it can be sent to the add actions page too
[code]
<input type="hidden" name="pid" id="pid" value="<?php echo get_input("pid"); ?>" />
[/code]

6. Now we have to store the received parent post id and the child postid in the post_relations table
[code]
    $thispostID = thewire_save_post($avatar_cost,$avatar_id,$body, $access_id, $parent, $method);

/* save the parent and child relationships here */
    global $CONFIG;

    mysql_connect($CONFIG->dbhost, $CONFIG->dbuser, $CONFIG->dbpass);

    mysql_select_db($CONFIG->dbname);

    $tbl_prefix = $CONFIG->dbprefix;

    $tableName = $tbl_prefix."post_relations";

    $parendPostId = get_input("pid");

    $insertRelationsQuery = "INSERT INTO $tableName(parentid,childid,type) VALUES ($parendPostId,$thispostID,'w')";

    $result = mysql_query($insertRelationsQuery);

    /* save operation ends */
[/code]

User Authentication schemes in a Multi-Tenant SaaS Application

User Authentication in Multi-Tenant SaaS Apps Introduction We will cover few scenarios that we can follow to perform the user authentication in a Multi-Tenant SaaS application. Scenario 1 - Global Users Authentication with Tenancy and Tenant forwarding In this scheme, we have the SaaS Provider Authentication gateway that takes care of Authentication of the users by performing the following steps Tenant Identification User Authentication User Authorization Forwarding the user to the tenant application / tenant pages in the SaaS App This demands that the SaaS provider authentication gateway be a scalable microservice that can take care of the load across all tenants. The database partitioning (horizontal or other means) is left upto the SaaS provider Service. Scenario 2 - Global Tenant Identification and User Authentication forwarding In the above scenario, the tenant identification happens on part of the SaaS provider Tenant Identification gateway. Post which, the

Handling exceptions in the Executor service threads in Java

Introduction This is a continuation post on the exception handling strategies in the threads in Java. For Introduction, please read this post The second post is available here This post addresses the problem statement "How to use the exception handlers in the threads spawned by the Executor Service in Java?" Not all times, we will be using Thread classes to run our threads because we have to manage a lot of the underlying logic for managing threads. There is ExecutorService in Java which comes to the rescue for the above problem. In the previous posts, we have discussed on how to handle the exceptions in plain threads. However, when using executor service, we do not create / manage threads, so how do we handle exception in this case. We have a ThreadFactory as an argument which can be used to customize the way threads are created for use within the ExecutorService . The below snippet of code leverages this feature to illustrate the exception handling, wherein we create a

Download CSV file using JavaScript fetch API

Downloading a CSV File from an API Using JavaScript Fetch API: A Step-by-Step Guide Introduction: Downloading files from an API is a common task in web development. This article walks you through the process of downloading a CSV file from an API using the Fetch API in JavaScript. We'll cover the basics of making API requests and handling file downloads, complete with a sample code snippet. Prerequisites: Ensure you have a basic understanding of JavaScript and web APIs. No additional libraries are required for this tutorial. Step 1: Creating the HTML Structure: Start by creating a simple HTML structure that includes a button to initiate the file download. <!DOCTYPE html> < html lang = "en" > < head > < meta charset = "UTF-8" > < meta name = "viewport" content = "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" > < title > CSV File Download </ title > </ head > < body >

Async implementation in Blazor

Step-by-Step Guide to Achieving Async Flows in Blazor: 1. Understanding Asynchronous Programming: Before delving into Blazor-specific async flows, it's crucial to understand asynchronous programming concepts like async and await . Asynchronous operations help improve the responsiveness of your UI by not blocking the main thread. 2. Blazor Component Lifecycle: Blazor components have their lifecycle methods. The OnInitializedAsync , OnParametersSetAsync , and OnAfterRenderAsync methods allow you to implement asynchronous operations during various stages of a component's lifecycle. 3. Asynchronous API Calls: Performing asynchronous API calls is a common scenario in web applications. You can use HttpClient to make HTTP requests asynchronously. For example, fetching data from a remote server: @page "/fetchdata" @inject HttpClient Http @ if (forecasts == null ) { <p> < em > Loading... </ em > </ p > } else { <table>
