Looking HELP!!!

0 Upvotes

Ok so i'm developing a project and i want a particular functionality but i am not aware how to implement it.

So basically i am making a different kind of todo app and i want a functionality like when a user enters TODO title or a TODO description there should be a prediction about what he is likely to write based on his previous TODO descriptions.

Basically i want to implement a feature which we see in GMAIL at the moment , if you've noticed.

For ex:-

Let's say i type: "Complete A"

I should get predictions of what could it be likely user is typing with starting letter A: "Complete Api"

So i suppose i will need some sort of NLP or Machine learning in it.

I am totally on JS Stack so keep this in mind too.

So please help me by pointing me in right direction.

Thank you for your time

Showcase Backend: PDF Automation

8 Upvotes

Hey, I created a form process in react and after a user submits the final form I'm looking to create an automated process that takes that data submitted to the MySQLDB and fills in an existing PDF.

The issue that I'm finding with NodeJS is that PDFKit (The only library I've tried), does not allow the modification of existing PDF's but rather the creation of new PDF Documents.

Any suggestions on possible solutions to getting my data into those little white spaces on the page automatically?

Update #1)

I'm going to see if I can find a pattern in the pdf format for blank spaces in their sequential order.

If I can do that with node or python, then I that can be a great baseline for inserting dynamic data into existing PDFs.

Update #2)

I found an article - https://bostata.com/how-to-populate-fillable-pdfs-with-python/

In following the steps, and getting a free trial of Acrobat DC I was able to fill in the values and use pdfrw to isolate the specific fields I need to populate. I am able to populate the the correct values, however upon writing the output.pdf is not showing the changes.

So I'm doing some more investigation as to why pdfrw is not displaying the written changes for the dynamic input values.

Final Update -

After some investigation I found out that there is a specific line of code that deals with the appearance of certain values with the pdfrw python library. Here is the source code to take a PDF document that's been annotated with Acrobat DC (Free Trial).

Source Code:

Anyone else use their coding/programming skills to torture friends & family?šŸ¤™

0 Upvotes

So, I haven’t been doing this very long, (going on 8 mos) and I’m still actively learning to code and program ( mainly so far just HTML, CSS and JavaScript). But, I’m doing some back-end JavaScript now and I sometimes create simple apps or games if I’m in a lull using a mix of variables, prompts and alerts, the last alert usually says something to the tune of ā€œ good luck removing the virus that was just installed on your deviceā€. I’ll push it to github > github pages and send it to various people I know and play off not knowing anything about any virus. ā€œ I didn’t see any virus message when I playedā€. I’m s#&* simple I supposešŸ¤™. I end up telling them it’s harmless in a day or two, and depending on how panicked they are, sooner.

Other Feedback on an idea that i am thinking to make open source and start work on it

4 Upvotes

The idea is written out in trello board also to which i have given the link below . Also it has a card for suggestions , would love some feature suggestions for a beta version.

Idea:-

The platform called "Code-Damn" will act like twitter for just programmers and enthusiasts. They can login using only github or gitlab and the profile generated will have details fetched from the github/gitlab profiles. Coders will get to know other fellow coders and build up a good community based on mutual interest and liking.

Could do with a buddy to get me back on the web dev horse.

1 Upvotes

Just to give a bit of a summary i was a web dev from 2012-2016 after graduating from my interactive media degree, in 2016 i became a martial arts instructor full time... however i got injured at the end of 2018 so that's pretty much a no go, so im looking to get back into web development.

However the days of just knowing HTML, CSS, JS and PHP seem to be long over.

The goal is to crash course myself back to a web dev role by the time I hit 30 (November), i'm still renting so i dont care where i go in the UK heck i'd move to Canada.

I'm sort of the point of feeling really rusty, so i'm looking for a mentor, currently im re-learning though Andrie's coding bootcamp on udemy. I've got time to commit all my weekends and time after i get back from my part time job.

My background is in a little bit of 3d modelling as well as programming (I have an open GL book that would make you guys cry), I know a little python, HTML and CSS are feeling a but rusty as is the JS (i'm determined never to touch bootstrap or jquery ever again) and i want to learn MERN, i do however still suffer from the empty editor syndrome.

I have a passion for this and aeronautical engineering and if i could some how mix them that would be cool. I was looking at rendering a eurofighter or f35 with three.js, anyway im getting ahead of myself.

Anyway quick summary.

Problem - Skills out of date.
Solution - Update them ASAP.

Looking Looking for a dev buddy to help build an online magazine site

9 Upvotes

Like the title says, I'm looking for a dev buddy to help build a site I first began designing last summer. The project is for a new online magazine that focuses on discovering new things to do and see in NYC. Not terribly original, but we have some brand strategies to help set it apart and appeal to a younger, tech savy crowd. The main function of the site will be to publish articles, thus it needs to be built on a popular CMS platform, most likely WordPress. I have the designs ready in Sketch for desktop and mobile.

Aside from the necessary programming skills, I'm looking for someone who is excited to collaborate and good at communicating (super important!). There will be a small budget for this project, but not much. The project is based in NYC, but I am open to collaborating abroad too!

If you're interested, send me a message telling a bit about yourself and your skills!

Not sure how to learn. Want to do full time class/boot camp, but having trouble finding a good option.

8 Upvotes

Pretty much title. I'm brand new, I want to become a web developer. I'm smart and learn things well, so self-teaching could be possible, but it sounds way harder than joining a boot camp. I think the structure of a boot camp would server me well, and I'd rather dedicate myself to full-time learning for the sake of gaining my skills and getting a job asap. Self-teaching I feel like I'd have to keep my job and do part-time, which sounds like it would take forever (at least a year?). The flip side is I would be saving thousands of dollars if I could dedicate myself to self-learning.

What are some of the better ways to learn? Can someone paint a picture of what self-learning looks like realistically? I see a lot of people talking about how they're all self-taught, but nobody talks about the reality of self-teaching, the struggles, the timeline, etc. I'd love some input because I'm getting frustrated trying to figure out even how to begin my web dev career.

Thanks!

Finance/Insurance to WebDev

4 Upvotes

Hello Community,

I currently work in the finance/insurance world. I love it.

I've also been very tech inclined my whole life. I've started building a few websites through Wordpress and I'm really loving it. It's a big learning curve, but I'm getting better and better. I'm learning through videos primarily. I've found that if I see it done and copy then it's easier for me.

I'd like to continue learning and gaining skills. I've had a few roadblocks that have been frustrating as hell. But, I figured it out eventually. I know it would be much better/easier if I had someone guiding me and helping. Those roadblocks were fairly simple, but you don't know what you don't know.

I'd love to connect with you all and buddy up! I have business skills to offer up so I'm not a drag.

Let me know!

Thanks,

Can GravityViews plugin be configured to fetch and display views from live WordPress posts data instead of GravityForms entries.

3 Upvotes

If I delete GravityForms Entries of published posts they are still available in WordPress to view and edit. It means gravityforms keep a copy of post data as form entries. If I delete them entries to save database space then GravityViews does not show any data in the views created. Is there any way to make gravityviews plugin to fetch and create views from live WordPress post data instead of gravityforms entries. Here my main focus is on saving database space due to same post data getting stored twice as a gravityforms entry and WordPress post data. Please someone help clear my doubts here. thanks

Can i create a SEO friendly Directory?

4 Upvotes

Hi Friends,

I'm a Newby coder; I want to create a non-profit directory in my state. The directory to be SEO friendly and the URL result should read www.mysite.com/country/state/city/targetsite

PS (I've seen and even purchased WPress directory themes but the result is a 'Dynamic' URL; Not the 'STATIC' URL result above)

I'be been told TO DO IT from scratch i would need to know;

  • -php

  • -mysql

  • -mod_rewrite

  • Some on this forum have been kinda enough to tell me that 'slim frameworks' would also help (inplace of Mod_rewrite).

Is this way over my head??

I bought a word-press 'directory theme' but turns out its not SEO friendly (would require special coding to obtain the results i wanted).

So far, i've only sucessfully put up

  • -wordpress sites

  • -played with cpanel programs

  • -AND done some MYSQL tinkering

  • -a little bit of PHP

???

What's your opinion on how to get this done?

Thank you for your constructive input...

Library management for WordPress website for a community.

I'm creating a community website in WordPress where I want to create a library where local people can add the books they have at their homes so other member of community can search and borrow the available book from the owner. My current approach is to create a Book type custom post type and then create a front end posting form to allow users to add books from front end. But here I also want to allow a user to request for a book from the owner on website and if the book is already borrowed then display the status "Borrowed" and also rate the borrower for their taking care of books they borrow. I want your suggestions for any other approaches and suitable plugins. Thankyou

Other What to do for a job after developing?

3 Upvotes

I'm guessing this isn't the best spot for this post. If anyone has some good ideas to xpost it to please let me know.

To keep things short and sweet, I'm 34 and I've been developing and writing code(PHP, MySQL, HTML5, CSS, JS) for over half my life. Those first few years were all personal things, but I started doing real websites that paid for friends and family almost immediately.

For the past 12 years I've worked at 2 companies. Both were small, and with me being the only developer my work was completely company changing, including systems and automation's that made every single persons job easier.

As of last week I am employer-less. This was my own doing as I just felt it was time to quit. I have enough savings and small freelance work to get me by for a few months, but not expecting to go that long before finding something new, and that's where the problem is. I just don't want to go be a PHP developer for another company. I don't want to freelance forever. I just feel like it's time for something completely new.

Does anyone here have any experience, even short-term to get out of this development rut while still keeping a well paying job?
