php/msql keywords as hashtags

php separate all items in a mysql field

You can use the explode syntax, as in the following exapmple:

$keywords = $row['keywords'];
foreach (explode(',', $keywords) as $key) {
    echo "<span><a href="\hashtag.php?tag=$key\">{$key}</a></span>";
}

In the example we have a mysql field (keywords) with many items comma separated (such as : “truth, soul, body, mind” and so on).

And we obtain to have as many links from each item toward a specific target, as they are (that is: 3 links if you have 3 items, 7 links fi you have 7 ones).

In this way you can get a system of hashtags for your database keywords.

other steps

You need another file, let we call them hashtag.php.

The content of hashtag.php could be something like:

<?php  
 //hashtag.php  
 if(isset($_GET["tag"]))  
 {  
      $tag = preg_replace('/(?<!\S)#([0-9a-zA-Z]+)/', '', $_GET["tag"]);

//to beautify and stylize, but not necessary BEGIN
      $title=$tag;
      include "$root/intell/header-intell.inc";      
//to beautify and stylize, but not necessary END      

      $connect = mysqli_connect("localhost", "[mysql user]", "[mysql password]", "[mysql database]");  
      
      mysqli_set_charset($connect, 'utf8mb4');  // procedural style
      
      $query = "SELECT * FROM [your table] WHERE [your fields with tags] LIKE '%".$tag."%';  
      $result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);  
      if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)  
      {  
           while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))  
           {  
                echo "<h2>$row[title]</h2>
                <blockquote><p>$row[text]</p></blockquote>
                <p><i>$row[author]</i><br />";
                $keywords = $row['keywords'];
                foreach (explode(',', $keywords) as $key) {
                if(trim($row["keywords"])==''){echo "";} else{echo "<span><a href=\"hashtag.php?tag=$key\">{$key}</a></span>";}
                }
                echo "</p>";
           }  
      }  
      else  
      {  
           echo '<p>No Data Found</p>';  
      }  
 }  
 ?>  

Afterwards obviously you could adjust the css according to your needs.

Of course you can have as many other php files as you want, where you usually store you database content, in which you can add the kewwords as hashtags, with a code like the following:

echo "</p><p class=\"keywords\">";
$keywords = $row['keywords'];
foreach (explode(',', $keywords) as $key) {
    if(trim($row["keywords"])==''){echo "";} else{echo "<span><a href=\"hashtag.php?tag=$key\">{$key}</a></span>";}
}
echo "</p>";}

LibreBase problems with native mysql connector

1. mysql connector not working

From LO 6.4 native mysql connector didn’t work any more. But a possible solution is to comment the line skip-networking in my.conf.

I mean now the line is #skip-networking, before it was skip-networking.

2. subforms not working

In new releases, to avoid this issue, you have to cut a small portion of code in content.xml, as in the following instructions:

have a look at the content.xml in the *.odb-file (could be opened by a zip-program)

Not working code:
<db:driver-settings db:system-driver-settings=”” db:base-dn=”” db:parameter-name-substitution=”false”/>

Working code
<db:driver-settings db:system-driver-settings=”” db:base-dn=””/> ยป

It works!

3. tables or queries not working

You should check the table/query structure and avoid fields (which should have a length) with no length.

regex replace keeping a part of a string

Today I managed to replace (in html file links and anchors) absolute paths with relative ones.

I needed to keep the anchors and links number.

I did so:

search: href="#_ftn([0-9])">
replace: href="#_ftnref\1" id="_ftn\1">

In this way href=”#_ftn1 was replaced by  href="#_ftnref1" id="_ftn1", href=”#_ftn2 was replaced by  href="#_ftnref2" id="_ftn2", and so on.

For numbers with two digits

searchhref="#_ftn([0-9][0-9])">
replacehref="#_ftnref\1" id="_ftn\1">

Only the search string is to be modified, if you have more digits (f.e. [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] if you have numbers with four digits, such as 1276), not the replace one (so don’t write \1\1).

digits within brackets

To replace digits within brackets you have to escape the brackets with ‘\’, thus: ‘\(‘, or ‘\[‘. For example, if you plan to convert every ‘(some digits) ‘ with ‘</p><p>(some digits)’, you should use this code:

find: \(([0-9])\)
replace: </p><p>(\1)

svg with external image embedded

All browsers have this limitation: they not allow to show an svg with an external image embedded, such as

<image x="2" y="2" width="somewidth" height="someheight" xlink:href="myimage.jpg">

even though the image is in local.

For security reasons.

expansible image with image-map

We managed to add an image map to the on-click expansible image.

This is the code:

<style type="text/css">
img[usemap] { zoom: 12%;}
img[usemap]:focus {zoom: 50%;}
</style>
<map name="mymap">
  <area shape="rect" coords="1294,253,1420,434" title="mount" />
  <area shape="rect" coords="1709,296,1835,477" title="tree" />
</map>
<img tabindex="0" src="path-to/myimage" usemap="#mymap" />

The problem is that to close the expansed image you must click either on a map area or outside the image.

libreoffice 7 and autokey

To avoid a deal of errors with autokey (QT) in LibreOffice 7 (and KDE 5.20) it could be necessary install the KDE Frameworks 5 integration.
Here, at least, it worked.

split an epub per chapters

An epub book has multiple chapters. What method to split it into multiple files, each of them consist one chapter, effectively?

For example as the following:

1) Find: <h2

2) Replace: <hr class="sigil_split_marker" /><h2

3) Then select Edit > Split at markers.
