With the code at https://github.com/hn-88/mktxt/ found that sometimes the messages would not be displayed on screen till the end of execution.
- so it may be client dependent.
And yes - found that in Edge / Chrome / Chromium, the output is shown as soon as the page opens, with dynamic updating. With my version of Firefox, the output flush does not work due to browser caching.
Currently we push each file separately like in this code snippet, but when I explored how to add multiple files, the implementation seems a bit too complex for our needs.
I was attempting to get the Google username + email id for users using Google Sign-in to log on to an embedded google apps script, but the username was being returned blank.
Our earlier php code, modified from something like this was returning only email and not username when trying with the default scope or even with addScope(profile). Even the REST API didn't help.
Finally found the issue - this page states that
"Warning: The support of Google Sign-In JavaScript platform library for Web is set to be
deprecated after March 31, 2023. The
solutions in this guide are based on this library and therefore also
deprecated.
Use instead the new
Google Identity Services for Web
solution to quickly and easily sign users into your app using their Google
accounts.
By default, new client IDs are now blocked from using the older platform
library; existing client IDs are unaffected. New client IDs created before
July 29th, 2022 may set the
plugin_name
to enable use of the legacy Google platform library."
So I modified the code to use the new Google Identity Services using this guide, and all was well. In order to not interfere with the earlier (working) authentication setup on the same server, which has a different set of authentication rules, the vendor, autoload etc are on a different path.
Code snippet:
$client = new Google_Client(['client_id' => $client_id]);
$payload = $client->verifyIdToken($_POST['credential']);
if ($payload) {
//print_r($payload);
//echo $payload['email'];
//echo $payload['name'];
// set the session variables needed by mediabank
$_SESSION["userEmail"] = $payload['email'];
$_SESSION["userName"] = $payload['name'];
header('Location: /the-embedded-page.php');
Inputs from
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9332718/how-do-i-print-all-post-results-when-a-form-is-submitted
One way would be something like
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
echo $key;
echo $value; etc.
There was a google apps script to be embedded in an iframe on one of our websites. I've done this before with no issues, as long as the XFrameOptionsMode is set properly in the script to ALLOWALL. But in this case, I was getting a too many redirects error. "accounts.google.com redirected you too many times."
Checking the network traffic (right-click -> Inspect -> Network tab), found that the app was redirecting to google's login authentication page, back to the app's original script.google.com address, and again, infinitely till the browser stops the loop after 25 times or so.
Checking the app's deployment, found that this was due to the deployment availability being set to "Anyone with a Google Account" instead of "Anyone". Once the deployment was changed to "Anyone", the embed worked fine.
(This link has one approach in which validation can be done, but I didn't go through it in detail to check if it is embed-friendly.)
Copy-pasting my response to a message,

When creating a website on github pages with text in English, Hindi and Telugu, the first attempt was to just copy-paste the content from a Google Doc exported as HTML. But that had two problems.

Github has changed their host key -
https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key/
So, when trying to clone a repo of mine via the SSH url, I got the message
Offending RSA key in /home/myusername/.ssh/known_hosts:3
remove with:
ssh-keygen -f "/home/myusername/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "github.com"
Host key for github.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
So I did
ssh-keygen -f "/home/myusername/.ssh/known_hosts" -R "github.com"
and answered "yes" when asked to save the new key.

Scale up a copy on a new layer.
Create layer mask on original layer.
Select the layer mask in the layers window to select it for editing.
Gradient black to white Foreground to transparent to blend in the orig with the scaled up sky.
What I did for the Tokyo pan was, since the sky was just blue,
did a rectangular selection of only sky,
copied the selection, pasted to new layer
and for that layer, Layer -> resize layer, expand upwards.
There are some changes after my earlier post about creating views of the night sky using stellarium. And I've forgotten the locations of some controls. So, a set of reference notes.
Adding to my earlier tests with Seeker Theatre Edition, on Windows 11, there are some more things to keep in mind.

Do we have any release priority setting in play store console for mandatory or non-mandatory?
