I am developing an application that uses SoundCloud API.
I am using frames for having the soundcloud widget on my page.
I made a search bar where user can put an input (such as singer name) and based on that input I am trying to format a URL that will go and retrieve track or playlist from SoundCloud (anything that works)
Right now - it is unable to get the url due to invalid formatting - kindly suggest the best open ended url format so that users can search any singer/song to get back a the correct url (which then gets added to the player).
Code:
EJS file:
<html>
<head>
<title>MIX Mashup Page</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js'></script>

</body>
</html>
Javascript File:
$(document).ready(function() {
SC.initialize({
client_id:'3dcb8913f19ee91a5f6c203c56333d75'
});
$("#stream").click(function(){
SC.stream("/tracks/293", {autoPlay: true});
});
var iframeElement = document.querySelector('iframe');
var widget1 = SC.Widget(iframeElement);
(function(){
var widgetIframe = document.getElementById('sc-widget'),
widget = SC.Widget(widgetIframe);
widget.bind(SC.Widget.Events.READY, function(){
widget.bind(SC.Widget.Events.PLAY, function(){
// get information about currently playing sound
widget.getCurrentSound(function(currentSound){
console.log('sound ' + currentSound.get('') + 'began to play');
});
});
// get current level of volume
widget.getVolume(function(volume){
console.log('current volume value is ' + volume);
});
// set new volume level
widget.setVolume(50);
// get the value of the current position
});
}());
})
$(function() {
$("#search").click(function(){
//storing values from the url
var searchrequest = $("#searchbar").val();
result = "https://w.soundcloud.com/player/? url=http://soundcloud.com/"+searchrequest;
console.log(searchrequest);
//$('iframe src').html(result);
console.log(result);
$("#sc-widget").attr("src", result);
});
});
Your current code works as long as the user adds the exact artist username and a slash in the query. fiddle
I would suggest using the soundcloud tracks api to query and display a list of matching results which the user can choose from.
BTW: The widget api has a load(url, options) method for reloading the widget with a different resource.

I'm using an API, and am trying to access the value of product.shoeName to change text on my HTML page. This is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="shoepoo.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<p id="text" style="color:purple;
font-weight:bold;font-size:20px;">
</p>
<script type="text/javascript"> shoeName(); </script>
</div>
</body>
</html>
const SneaksAPI = require('sneaks-api');
const sneaks = new SneaksAPI();
//getProducts(keyword, limit, callback) takes in a keyword and limit and returns a product array
function shoeName(){
sneaks.getProducts("Jumbo Blazer", 1, function(err, products){
products.forEach(
function names (product) {
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = product.shoeName;
})
});
};
Basically, I want product.shoeName to be shown as text, but nothing is showing up. How can I fix this? I understand it's a local function which is probably stopping the data from being shown (or something like that), but how can I work around this?
Made below changes in shoepoo.js
products.forEach((product)=> {
document.getElementById("text").innerHTML = product.shoeName;
});
But you need to create dynamic HTML components if there is multiple data in products. Otherwise, it set the last shoeName in the paragraph component.
Am trying to create a facebook share code in just html and javascript
I would want the link to be exactly like this:
share
But the problem now is, how can I get the page title through the help of ONLY javascript and then add it to the link at t=PAGETITLE.
I think you just want to append a "?t=" parameter to the query string passed into the FB share link with the document.title. If that is correct, you can do
var shareURL = fbShareURL + encodeURIComponent(linkURL + "?t=" + document.title));
which will make a URL like
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flmn.9nty.com%2F%3Ft%3DTITLE
which will include the page title as a query string parameter in url-encoded form. It's up to you what you do with that query string parameter, though. Using jQuery, you can update the share link dynamically:
var fbShareURL = "http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=";
var title = document.title; // The current page
var linkURL = "http://lmn.9nty.com/";
$link = $("<a>");
$link.attr("href", fbShareURL + encodeURIComponent(linkURL + "?t=" + title));
$link.text("Share");
// Add the link to your page
$("body").append($link);
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/7wst45gq/1/
Here is full, working HTML code as requested:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>How to get current page title and add it to link directly as variable in JavaScript</title>
<script type='text/javascript' src='//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
$(window).load(function(){
// Begin demo code
var fbShareURL = "http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=";
var title = document.title; // The current page
var linkURL = "http://lmn.9nty.com/";
$link = $("<a>");
$link.attr("href", fbShareURL + encodeURIComponent(linkURL + "?t=" + title));
$link.text("Share");
// Add the link to your page
$("body").append($link);
// End demo code
});//]]>
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
sharer.php only takes the URL as parameter, the rest of the data will come from the Open Graph tags:
a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://lmn.9nty.com/">Share</a>
Btw, you should urlencode the shared URL.
The javascript example for "search by keyword" that is given at the google developers page isn't working for me. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/javascript
When I run the code, I get a disabled search box with "cats" inside. Also, the example doesn't explain how to write in the API key as opposed to the Client ID. It says it's possible, but gives no concrete example of how to do it. Can someone point out where this code is going wrong. The code for the two .js files and the html is as follows:
auth.js file:
// The client ID is obtained from the Google Developers Console
// at https://console.developers.google.com/.
// If you run this code from a server other than http://localhost,
// you need to register your own client ID.
var OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID = '__YOUR_CLIENT_ID__';
var OAUTH2_SCOPES = [
'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube'
];
// Upon loading, the Google APIs JS client automatically invokes this callback.
googleApiClientReady = function() {
gapi.auth.init(function() {
window.setTimeout(checkAuth, 1);
});
}
// Attempt the immediate OAuth 2.0 client flow as soon as the page loads.
// If the currently logged-in Google Account has previously authorized
// the client specified as the OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID, then the authorization
// succeeds with no user intervention. Otherwise, it fails and the
// user interface that prompts for authorization needs to display.
function checkAuth() {
gapi.auth.authorize({
client_id: OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID,
scope: OAUTH2_SCOPES,
immediate: true
}, handleAuthResult);
}
// Handle the result of a gapi.auth.authorize() call.
function handleAuthResult(authResult) {
if (authResult && !authResult.error) {
// Authorization was successful. Hide authorization prompts and show
// content that should be visible after authorization succeeds.
$('.pre-auth').hide();
$('.post-auth').show();
loadAPIClientInterfaces();
} else {
// Make the #login-link clickable. Attempt a non-immediate OAuth 2.0
// client flow. The current function is called when that flow completes.
$('#login-link').click(function() {
gapi.auth.authorize({
client_id: OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID,
scope: OAUTH2_SCOPES,
immediate: false
}, handleAuthResult);
});
}
}
// Load the client interfaces for the YouTube Analytics and Data APIs, which
// are required to use the Google APIs JS client. More info is available at
// http://code.google.com/p/google-api-javascript-client /wiki/GettingStarted#Loading_the_Client
function loadAPIClientInterfaces() {
gapi.client.load('youtube', 'v3', function() {
handleAPILoaded();
});
}
search.js file:
// After the API loads, call a function to enable the search box.
function handleAPILoaded() {
$('#search-button').attr('disabled', false);
}
// Search for a specified string.
function search() {
var q = $('#query').val();
var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({
q: q,
part: 'snippet'
});
request.execute(function(response) {
var str = JSON.stringify(response.result);
$('#search-container').html('<pre>' + str + '</pre>');
});
}
search.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="buttons">
<label> <input id="query" value='cats' type="text"/><button id="search-button" disabled onclick="search()">Search</button></label>
</div>
<div id="search-container">
</div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="auth.js"></script>
<script src="search.js"></script>
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"> </script>
</body>
</html>
The documentation is misleading a bit (one might even say incorrect); the HTML for the "search by keyword" is loading the same "auth.js" that the other two examples on that page are, but it doesn't then have any HTML elements to actually trigger the login process (i.e. a "login button" if a user isn't already authorized) like the other two examples do. Bascially, if you're using that provided auth.js, you need to have, in your HTML, a section that looks like this:
<div id="login-container" class="pre-auth">
This application requires access to your YouTube account.
Please authorize to continue.
</div>
Then, you can also add the class of "post-auth" on a new div that wraps around your existing buttons and search container. The demo will then, when a user visits, only present the login link; when clicked on, and when a user allows the authorization, then the login link will be hidden and your search area will be shown (and the button enabled). That's just how the demo is set up.
Of course, search by keyword does NOT require oAuth2, and so (to answer your 2nd question) you might find it easier to A) remove the handleApiLoaded method (so your button is never disabled), and B) call gapi.client.load() manually (i.e. not triggered by an oAuth success). Then, call gapi.client.setApiKey({YOUR KEY}) so that all of your requests will include your key in their header.
Thanks so much jlmcdonald for your help. It took me a while to figure out the second part of your response, but I finally had success. The following html gets the example on the google developers webpage to work. Note though, at first I was getting a 401 error. To fix it, I had to go to the google developers console and select my project. Then, APIs&auth->consent screen and then fill in the email address and product name:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="login-container" class="pre-auth">
This application requires access to your YouTube account.
Please authorize to continue.
</div>
<div id="buttons" class="post-auth">
<label> <input id="query" value='cats' type="text"/><button id="search-button" disabled onclick="search()">Search</button></label>
</div>
<div id="search-container">
</div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/files/theme/auth.js"></script>
<script src="/files/theme/search.js"></script>
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"> </script>
</body>
</html>
As you noted in your response, oAuth2 isn't necessary for a simple keyword search. The following is some html that just uses the API key. I didn't reference the two .js files like before, rather, I just included the script in the html. Your post at gapi.client.youtube is undefined? really helped me figure it out:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="buttons">
<label> <input id="query" value='cats' type="text"/><button id="search-button" onclick="keyWordsearch()">Search</button></label>
</div>
<div id="search-container">
</div>
<script>
function keyWordsearch(){
gapi.client.setApiKey('API key here');
gapi.client.load('youtube', 'v3', function() {
makeRequest();
});
}
function makeRequest() {
var q = $('#query').val();
var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({
q: q,
part: 'snippet'
});
request.execute(function(response) {
var str = JSON.stringify(response.result);
$('#search-container').html('<pre>' + str + '</pre>');
});
}
</script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=googleApiClientReady"> </script>
</body>
</html>
Now that I got the search part, could you explain how I can display the thumbnails and titles of the results and then when I click them, the video opens in an embedded player on the same page? Thanks.
Thank you for your coding. Let me share my code:
function makeRequest(){
var q = $('#query').val();
var request = gapi.client.youtube.search.list({
q: q,
part: 'snippet'
});
request.execute(function(response){
var str = JSON.stringify(response.result,'',4);
$('#search-container').val( str);
makeControl(response);
});
}
function makeControl(resp){
var stList = '<table id="res1" border="1" cellspacing="1" width="100%"><tbody>';
for (var i=0; i<resp.items.length;i++){
var vid = resp.items[i].id.videoId;
var tit = resp.items[i].snippet.title;
if(typeof vid != 'undefined'){
stList += '<tr><td style="width:80px;vertical-align:top">'+
'<a class="show" href="#" title="'+ vid + '" onclick="playVid(this);'+
' return false">'+
'<img width="80" height="60" src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/'+
vid +'/default.jpg"></a></td>'+
'<td><b>'+i+'</b>-'+ tit +'</td></tr>';
}
}
document.getElementById('list1').innerHTML = stList + '</tbody></table>';
//HTML: <div id="list1"
//style="width:853px;height:400px;overflow:auto;background-color:#EEEEEE">
//</div>
}
function playVid(thi){
var st = 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/'+thi.title+'?autoplay=1';
document.getElementById('player').src = st;
//HTML: <iframe id="player" width="853" height="480" src="" frameborder="1" allowfullscreen>
//</iframe>
}
Is it possible to pass the totalScore var to another page onclick so that it can be displayed there? ex: click submit link it goes to yourscore.html and display the score on page
$("#process").click(function() {
var totalScore = 0;
$(".targetKeep").each( function(i, tK) {
if (typeof($(tK).raty('score')) != "undefined") {
totalScore += $(tK).raty('score');
}
});
alert("Total Score = "+totalScore);
});
Let we suppose that your HTML may be as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#process").click(function() {
var totalScore = 0;
/*
Your code to calculate Total Score
Remove the next line in real code.
*/
totalScore = 55; //Remove this
alert("Total Score = "+totalScore);
$("#submit-link").attr('href',"http://example.com/yourscore.html?totalScore="+totalScore);
});
});
</script>
<meta charset=utf-8 />
<title>JS Bin</title>
</head>
<body>
<button id="process">Process</button>
<br />
Submit Total Score
</body>
</html>
Check out this DEMO
In yourscore.html you may able to know more in the following queation to extract the URL parameter from the URL:
Parse URL with jquery/ javascript?
This is generally done by changing the url of the page. i.e. if you are going go to a new page, just do:
http://example.com/new/page?param1=test
If the page already exists in a new window (like a popup that you own), set the url to something new:
http://example.com/new/page#param
Open a window:
var win = window.open('http://example.com/new/page?totalscore'+totalscore,'window');
Change the location:
win.location.href='http://example.com/new/page?totalscore'+totalscore;
Other ways of doing this could be websockets or cookies or localstorage in HTML5.
if you are aiming to support more modern browsers the elegant solution could be to use sessionStorage or localStorage! Its extremely simple and can be cleared and set as you need it. The maximum size at the low end is 2mb but if your only storing INTs then you should be okay.

I wanna generate Hyperlink based on query string .Let me explain it more
Topics clicked rite now:(here I want my hyperlinks)....,....
1.Cat1
2.Cat2
3.Cat3
when i click cat1 it generate querystring: ?Cat=Cat1
when I click on cat2 it will generate querystring ?Cat=Cat2
so based on that I want to create hyperlink whose
text is query string(value)
and url is url-(name and value of that query string)lets say for cat1
if currently url is http://www.google.com/?Cat=Cat1&subcat=subcat1
so text should be cat1(and its url should be www.google.com/?subcat=subcat1)
You may want to take a look at the jquery.query plugin. In particular the get function which returns an array of tokens that you can iterate over.
Something like this should get you started:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.query.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$.each($.query.get(), function(val, prop) {
$('.menu').append($('<a />').attr('href', $.query.empty().set(val, prop).toString()).text(val));
$('.menu').append($('<br />'));
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="menu">
</div>
</body>
</html>
i would say that probably the way to go for this is the following (syntax isnt correct most likely)
I believe this is some regular string manipulation..
var cat1 = "topic1";
var cat2 = "topic2";
var subcat1 = "subtopic1"; etc
url = "http://google.com/?cat=" + cat1 + "&subcat=" + subcat1
<a href=url/>CAT 1 Link<a>
i hope this helps
