JBar – Jquery Bar

Mr Me — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:47:33 +0000

Flash messages or notification messages are very essential part of every update/edit or delete operations. We either use ajax update messages like “You account has been updated” or “Your photo has been successfully deleted”

Here, a new plugin of jQuery can be used to display the flash messages like twitter. (see twitter’s settings page)

I added some more functions to this plugin to display the notification in different context, say information, warning or error message. The function show_flash(‘message here’); can be used for this purpose. Second parameter is the type of message. For example, show_flash(‘Error in deleting file’, ‘error’) OR show_flash(‘Email address entered is invalid’, ‘warning’)

If you use sessions to save flash message , for example in codeigniter $this->session->set_flashdata(‘message’,'hello’); you can use this plugin to display them by adding a php code in the footer (or header) of every page

session->flashdata(‘message’) != ” ) : ?>

Remove emails, numbers or url from text inputs

Mr Me — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:01:50 +0000

Below is a simple php code to sanitise an input message . The function has 3 parameters, depending on the parameter the input is parsed to filter.

function sanitize_message( $message , $email = true, $numbers = true, $url = true ) {

$message = strip_tags( $message );


if($email)

{

//strip email address

$email_regexp = "[_A-Za-z0-9-]+(\.[_A-Za-z0-9-]+)*@[A-Za-z0-9-]+(\.[A-Za-z0-9-]+)*(\.[A-Za-z]{2,3})";

$message = ereg_replace($email_regexp, 'XXX', $message);

}
if($numbers)

{

//strip all numerical values

$number_regexp = "[0-9]";

$message = ereg_replace($number_regexp, 'XXX', $message);

}
//eliminate url from message

if($url)

{
$url_regexp = "(https?://)?(www\.)?([a-zA-z0-9\.])*[a-zA-Z0-9]*\.[a-z]{2,3}";

$message = ereg_replace($url_regexp, 'XXX', $message);

}
//eliminate all the bad words

$bad_words = array("f**k", "son of a b***h");

$message = str_ireplace($bad_words, 'XXX', $message);
return $message;

}

WordPress Plugin – Warning Before Closing

Mr Me — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:08:09 +0000

Today i published my new wordpress plugin, which control user navigation. The plugin name is “Close Warning”.

It prompts the user a confirmation message before they close the browser window or tab. After that a lightweight window popup jumps up with your preset announcement or message (in richtext format)

The Advantages >>

You can avoid the accidental close of browser window
You can tell or mention any message or offers before they navigate away from your website
It works not only on closing, but in any type of external navigation (Internal navigation is screened out from this warning)
Since it is built on lightweight window support, your message or warning appears very eye-catchy

You can download the plugin from : http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/onclose-warning.zip

Screen Shot - Warning before close

From the setting page, you can set your rich text message or warning / offer . See the screen shot:

Warning Before Closing

Please feel free to mail me regarding any clarification and upgrade to admin@sajithmr.com
