I need to get the current web page url in a single variable like:
var x = window.location.href;
But the problem is the script will be used sometimes in Cross domain Iframe & sometimes in same domain. Since window.location.href does not work in Cross domain iframe, so I have tested
x = document.referrer for cross domain Iframe(read only) and it worked fine. But I need both option in a single variable so I can use it in url validation with .match() method in Javascript.
I tried to combine like this, but its not working
var x = window.location.href;
if (typeof(window.location.href) === 'undefined') {
x = document.referrer;
}
My full codes are here:
// Get the url-This part isn't working
var x = window.location.href;
if (typeof(window.location.href) === 'undefined') {
x = document.referrer;
}
// Url validation--This part is working fine
var y = "zebra";
var rgxp = new RegExp(y, "gi");
if (x.match(rgxp) > -1) {
alert('Found a zebra in url');
I don't know is it really possible to combine or not, but otherwise I think I have to repeat this script twice. 1 for cross domain Iframe & a 2nd for the same domain.
I am fairly new in Javascript & got stuck here, so any help and direction would be a lifesaver

hello my question is what is the best approach to Restrict access to some urls of wordpress website to single referrer domain.
as far as I am familar with javascript I found a way for that. but I think javascript code is not good, because the source code of the page does not change.
I wrote this code:
function getCookie(name) {
const value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
const parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
}
document.body.style.display="none";
var url = document.referrer;
var domainname;
var referal_code = getCookie("protect_faq_pages");
console.log(url);
if(url){
var anchor = document.createElement("a");
anchor.href = url;
domainname = anchor.host;
console.log(domainname);
if(domainname == "softwareservicetech.com"){
var cookieString = "protect_faq_pages=cWs#fgf$a1fD#FsC-)";
document.cookie = cookieString;
}
}else if(!(referal_code == "cWs#fgf$a1fD#FsC-)")){
document.getElementById("page").innerHTML="<p>Sorry you do not have permission to view the content</p>"
}
console.log(referal_code);
document.body.style.display="block";
this site can be accessed itself:
https://health-unity.com/
you can find out the page below is restriced on the view :
https://health-unity.com/help-centre/videos/
and also these pages too:
https://health-unity.com/help-centre/videos/video-number-2/
https://health-unity.com/help-centre/videos/video-number-1/
but when click on the link on below site (link to health-unity-videos):
https://softwareservicetech.com/testpage/
the archive page will be accessible after that. user can go to the pages below directly:
https://health-unity.com/help-centre/videos/video-number-2/
https://health-unity.com/help-centre/videos/video-number-1/
these were restricted before and now can be accessed by a cookie that is set.
but the problem is that page source still exist and did not changed by javascript code and user can view the page source. also I want that the cookie value should be hidden. because of these two problem I think javascript is not a good idea.
please share with me if there is way with javascript, php, or editing functions.php or .htaccess file to achieve this.
thank you for your response in advance
You can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] in functions.php
For example:
<?php
add_action('init','check_referrer');
function check_referrer(){
if( str_contain($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'https://example-domain.com/'){
// do somthing
}else{
// do somthing else
}
}
?>
In making a function that validates a user URL and prepends http: at the front, I have to take cases of www, https and // into account as being valid urls. The way I have it written now (see below), I only prepend http: , so that cases of //stackoverflow.com don't turn into http: ////stackoverflow.com.
This means that a url like stackoverflow.com becomes http:stackoverflow.com.
In Firefox and Chrome, this works just fine, but these URLS will be clicked from a variety of browsers and devices. Is it something that'll work universally? It'll be easy to rewrite this check for a // case, but I'm interested in the answer.
Prepend method:
function prependHTTPtoWebURL() {
var url = (el('org_website').value);
var httpVar;
var testFor;
if (url) {// If there's a website URL value
testFor = url.toLowerCase();
if (testFor.indexOf("http") != 0){
httpVar = 'http:'; //add it
url = httpVar + url;
el('org_website').value = url;
}
}
}
Try playing with regex. Check this code for instance:
var someurl = "www.google.com";
var otherurl = "google.com";
var anotherurl = "//google.com";
function prependHTTPtoWebURL(url) {
var newurl = url.replace(/^(http)?(:)?(\/\/)?/i,'');
return 'http://' + newurl;
}
console.log(prependHTTPtoWebURL(someurl));
console.log(prependHTTPtoWebURL(otherurl));
console.log(prependHTTPtoWebURL(anotherurl));
The ouput in console.log will be:
http://www.google.com
http://google.com
http://google.com
Since you are specifying a subdomain (www) on the first one, that is respected. It avoids ending with four diagonals, like http:////. If your url was something like :google.com, it would also fix it correctly.
You can see it live here: http://jsfiddle.net/zRBUj/
Edit: Adding the /i Kate mentioned.
Change http: to http://

Anatomy of a URL
How the web works
How can I add something in JavaScript that will check the web site URL of someone on a web site and then redirect to a certain page on the web site, if a match is found? For example...
The string we want to check for, will be mydirectory, so if someone went to example.com/mydirectory/anyfile.php or even example.com/mydirectory/index.php, JavaScript would then redirect their page / url to example.com/index.php because it has mydirectory in the url, otherwise if no match is found, don't redirect, I'm using the code below:
var search2 = 'mydirectory';
var redirect2 = 'http://example.com/index.php'
if (document.URL.substr(search2) !== -1)
document.location = redirect2
The problem with that, is that it always redirects for me even though there is no match found, does anyone know what's going wrong and is there a faster / better way of doing this?
Use String.indexOf() instead:
if (window.location.pathname.indexOf('searchTerm') !== -1) {
// a match was found, redirect to your new url
window.location.href = newUrl;
}
substr is not what you need in this situation, it extracts substrings out of a string. Instead use indexOf:
if(window.location.pathname.indexOf(search2) !== -1) {
window.location = redirect2;
}
If possible it's better to do this redirect on the server side. It will always work, be more search engine friendly and faster. If your users have JavaScript disabled, they won't get redirected.
I am trying figure out how to refresh page in Safari (5.1) using javascript and nothing seems to work.
So far, I have tried,
window.location.href = window.location.href
window.location = window.location.href
window.location.reload(true)
window.location.replace(window.location.href)
What is the right way of handling page refresh in Safari?
Apparently, Safari on Mac or iOS has a bug with location.reload, so, I've developed this simple cross browser solution taking advantage of the url query string:
function refresh() {
var url = location.origin;
var pathname = location.pathname;
var hash = location.hash;
location = url + pathname + '?application_refresh=' + (Math.random() * 100000) + hash;
}
location.reload(true); // works for safari
If you didn't know already this site, let have a look on it, you will have a lot of example for refreshing page: http://www.quackit.com/javascript/javascript_refresh_page.cfm
You should always use the reload() method from the location object...
window.location.reload();
Set the first argument to true if you want to hard reload (send a new GET request for the page).
first timer here so be nice :3.
I am attempting to write a jQuery function that rewrites Amazon URL's to include affiliate tags, similar to what StackExchange does but with a twist.
The main differences is that I am attempting to the user to their closest Amazon Store - e.g. amazon.de - for german visitors. Due to Amazon's ASIN's differing in some countries I first want to check the new link, if it 404's I obviously don't want to direct my visitor there [1]
Here is my code that selects links to amazon.com, grabs the ASIN number and writes a shortlink to the product including the affiliate tag.
var tld_table = {'GB' : ".co.uk",'DE' : ".de",'CN' : ".cn",'AU' : ".ca",'IT' : ".it",'FR' : ".fr",'CA' : ".ca",'JP' : ".jp",};
var country = $.cookie("CountryCode");
//$.cookie by http://plugins.jquery.com/files/jquery.cookie.js.txt
var tld = tld_table[country] || '.com';
var regex = RegExp("http://www.amazon.com/([\\w-]+/)?(dp|gp/product)/(\\w+/)?(\\w{10})");
$('a[href*="amazon.com"]').each(function(){
var url = $(this).attr('href');
m = url.match(regex);
if (m) { //if ASIN found
var ASIN = m[4];
var shorturl = "http://www.amazon"+tld+"/dp/" + ASIN + "?tag="+ affTag[tld];
//http test for 404
//if 404 do not rewrite
//else $(this).attr('href',shorturl);
}
});
This works fine and will re-write the URL's but when I introduce ajax into the equation the script fails to rewrite any URL's.
EDIT
$('a[href*="amazon.com"]').each(function(){
var url = $(this).attr('href');
m = url.match(regex);
if (m) { //if ASIN found http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DZ1Y8Q/?tag=derp
var ASIN = m[4];
var ajaxCall = $.get('ASIN.php?ASIN='+ASIN+'&tld='+tld+'&tag='+affTags[tld], function(data) {
var newlink = data;
console.log('New Link: '+newlink)
$(this).attr('href',newlink); //does not rewrite
})
ajaxCall.success(function() {
if(newlink != '404'){
$(this).attr('href',newlink);//does not rewrite
}
})
}
});
Above is the code I am attempting to use currently, ASIN.php builds & requests the new link, opens it using php's cURL and returns either a new link or '404'.
I think $(this) is failing to reference the link correctly, but I have no idea why.
The error says it all: is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin
It basically means that your javascript is not allowed to retrieve any URL outside of your domain. You can fix this by rewriting your ajax request to a local PHP script that checks the url.
It has something to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy
you can also use apache mod_proxy
ProxyPass /mirror/foo/ http://foo.com/
Then you can call the url /mirror/foo/ on your domain and it will pass the request to the forwarding remote url.
This is a common way of overcoming cross-domain browser restrictions.
