Nimh Game on AlmaLinux Revisit Tutorial

Yes, some of the games, such as Nimh, on RJM Programming, written a long time ago, have suffered going from (a more forgiving) CentOS environment PHP (starting with a 5) going to an AlmaLinux environment PHP (starting with an 8).

So, similarly to the error tracking of AlmaLinux TimeZone Places Associative Array Tutorial earlier, there we were chasing down …

  • associative array (especially $_GET[] and $_POST[]) code …
  • non initialized PHP variables used later, along with not enough “global” usage within PHP functions used …
  • perhaps deprecated PHP functions

… by and large.

All controllable, for us, either by …

  • error_log scouring … eg. note how big these Apache error_log files can get here …

    … or, much more …
  • web browser Web Inspector debugging

… but with that second approach debugging the inhouse Nimh game, as first cab off the rank, we were thrown by scenarios that went …

  • we’ve isolated a URL (with arguments) for the Nimh game (and isolate it for issues) …
  • we type that into a web browser address bar …
  • we get a blank webpage … and so we open …
  • the web browser Web Inspector …
  • Console tab and see no errors … and then …
  • clicking for Elements tab we see empty “body” element with a non-empty “head” element

… and we were thrown at that stage, used to PHP errors manifesting themselves with that “body” element. We woke up after a few minutes, and opened up that “head” element, and down the bottom of that element (similarly to the “body” element debugging) there was the latest PHP error needing to be attended to. Yayyyyy!! Panic averted!

From there, lots to do, indeed, but the debugging has a controlled feeling about it, realizing this can happen. Eventually … Nimh (don’t be the last to take a match)!

Have you been waiting for more “heads up” regarding issues we’ll have moving from a PHP (of a version starting with a 5) to a PHP (of a version starting with an 8)? Join the crowd?! But so far, it hasn’t been that bad. That is, until we started into looking at the PHP TimeZone functionalities. Going back to a previous time of referencing this, at the recent Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Conditional Positioning Tutorial, associative array based codelines like

<?php

$ourtz=new DateTimeZone($zzbit);
$ourtzgl=$ourtz->getLocation();
$versus=str_replace('"' . '' . '"];', '"' . $zzbit . '","' . '' . '"];', $versus);
$yourgl=explode(',',('' . implode(',',$ourtzgl)));
//$versus=str_replace('"' . ' ' . '"];', '"' . $ourtzgl[latitude] . '","' . ' ' . '"];', $versus);
//$versus=str_replace('"' . ' ' . '"];', '"' . $ourtzgl[longitude] . '","' . ' ' . '"];', $versus);
$versus=str_replace('"' . ' ' . '"];', '"' . $yourgl[1] . '","' . ' ' . '"];', $versus);
$versus=str_replace('"' . ' ' . '"];', '"' . $yourgl[2] . '","' . ' ' . '"];', $versus);


?>

… worked and meant codelines avoiding associative array logic, in favour of numerically indexed array thinking, like above (thanks to implode) were not needed then, on CentOS, but are needed now, in a redesign, on AlmaLinux, in the changed TimeZone Places (the old way) (and TimeZone Places (the new way)) tz_places.php PHP code.

Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Conditional Positioning Tutorial

Because of the work at Curl HTTP Request Methods Tool Tutorial we can now …

  • conditionally (depending on the existence of the Google Charts Image Charts API) …
  • determine the positioning of Region Picker functionality elements

… further to yesterday’s Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Alignment Tutorial.

We start with non-mobile improving the positioning for the “letter breadcrumbs” and “middle dropdown” elements …


var imagechartthere=true;

function checkimagechart(iois) {
var eaconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
if (eaconto != null) {
if (eaconto.document) { eaconto = eaconto.document; }

if (eaconto.body.innerHTML.replace('Not Found','Error 404').replace(/^\<br\>\<\/p\>/g, 'Error 404').indexOf('Error 404') != -1) {
imagechartthere=false;
document.getElementById('myh3').style.left='' + eval(eval('' + screen.width) * 7 / 10) + 'px';
document.getElementById('myh3').style.top='' + eval('' + document.getElementById('myh3').getBoundingClientRect().bottom) + 'px';
setTimeout(function(){
document.getElementById('tdleft').style.backgroundPosition="right center";
}, 60000);
}

}
}
//
// and then later ...
//
setTimeout(function(){
if (!imagechartthere && document.getElementById('myh3')) {
document.getElementById('more').style.left='' + eval(-170 + eval(('' + document.getElementById('myh3').style.left).replace('px',''))) + 'px';
} else {
document.getElementById('more').style.left='' + eval(eval(360 * lastiizoom / 2) + eval('' + document.getElementById('more').style.left.replace('px',''))) + 'px';
}
}, 3000);

… working via the “client pre-emptive iframe” feeling …


<iframe style="display:none;" src="/PHP/http_methods.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchart.googleapis.com%2Fchart" onload="checkimagechart(this);"></iframe>

… along with making the opacity toggling of the country background SVG slightly more pronounced in the changed regions_via_countries.html Region Picker.

Did you know?

Ignoring the kludginess of codelines …


ipbit=ipbit.trim();
setTimeout(function(){ ipbit=ipbit.trim(); }, 5000);

… how do you think we arrived at the need to write the second line of code for our Region Picker? Goo … anyone, anyone?guffaw

Sir, could you repeat the question?

Goo … guffaw

In our inhouse Region Picker we like the way the right hand webpage side involved some useful …


position: sticky;

… positioning, useful within the realms of what is going on on the right hand side.

But now we’re wanting some horizontal integration, linking commonalities of left and right regarding the country of interest, as a user’s eyes scan across the webpage, at pivotal times.

Our new Javascript functions to help, today, further to the recent Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Shading Tutorial


var glincode='';

function prebrize() {
if (glincode != '') {
document.getElementById('a' + glincode).scrollIntoView();
}
}

function brizetwo(pb, lincode) {
if (eval('' + lincode.length) == 2) {
glincode=lincode;
document.getElementById('a' + lincode).scrollIntoView();
setTimeout(function(){ document.getElementById('a' + lincode).scrollIntoView(); document.getElementById('mychart').style.paddingTop='' + document.body.scrollTop + 'px'; }, 6000);
}
return brize(pb);
}

function brize(pb) {
var torectx=null, vsrectx=null, aidis='';
var torectxtop=0;
if (eval('' + andynft.length) == 8) {
aidis='a' + andynft.split('title=')[1];
if (pb == '') {
torectx=document.getElementById(aidis).getBoundingClientRect();
if (document.getElementById('pspacer')) {
document.getElementById('pspacer').height='' + torectx.top + 'px';
} else if (document.getElementById('language')) {
document.getElementById('language').style.paddingTop='' + eval(eval('' + torectx.top) + eval('' + document.body.scrollTop)) + 'px';
} else if (document.getElementById(aidis) && document.getElementById('mychart')) {
document.getElementById('mychart').style.paddingTop='' + eval(eval('' + torectx.top) + eval('' + document.body.scrollTop)) + 'px';
}
} else {
if (document.getElementById(aidis) && document.getElementById('mychart')) {
torectx=document.getElementById(aidis).getBoundingClientRect();
vsrectx=document.getElementById('mychart').getBoundingClientRect();
document.getElementById('mychart').style.paddingTop='' + eval(eval('' + torectx.top) + eval('' + document.body.scrollTop) - eval('' + vsrectx.top)) + 'px';
return pb;
} else if (document.getElementById(aidis) && document.getElementById('language')) {

vsrectx=document.getElementById('language').getBoundingClientRect();
document.getElementById('language').style.paddingTop='' + eval(eval('' + torectx.top) + eval('' + document.body.scrollTop) - eval('' + vsrectx.top)) + 'px';
}
}
}
return pb;
}

… all feature the great [element].scrollIntoView() way to programmatically scroll, rather than use (the sometimes ignored) window.scrollTo([left],[top]); or location.href=’#[elementID]’; approaches. It has the advantage of not altering location.hash (if you see that as a plus). We’d rather not add complexity, so, yes, we prefer the [aCountryElement].scrollIntoView(); call approach, at those pivotal times. This accounts for the left hand side of the webpage agreeing to the right hand side’s vertical scroll position. But what about the other way around? There, we started applying a CSS padding-top property to relevant right hand side elements (via DOM [element].style.paddingTop=[pixelsToExtendDown]px;), at pivotal points in the programming flow.

And on double clicking a right hand side button to start creating those background Geo Chart SVG based “images” we turn on a progress cursor, at least for non-mobile platforms, because the user needs patience here, in the changed regions_via_countries.html Region Picker.

Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Shading Tutorial

We have a few major improvements onto yesterday’s Google Charts Geo Chart Region Picker Nesting Tutorial‘s work …

  • shading of country in the Google Charts Geo Chart
  • addition of event logic for the “overlay/underlay/arriba” Google Charts Geo Chart incarnation … via Javascript DOM dynamic manipulation of Geo Chart z-index via …

    } else {

    }

Today we’re working on more Google Charts Geo Chart inhouse web application interfacer functionality other web applications might be able to make use of … “tool” functionality, if you will.

We want to be able to control the way a Google Charts Geo Chart can be nested within an HTML div element, for instance. We started the day wanting to be able to make …

  • a Google Charts Geo Chart be a background image to a div element … alas, on this first draft we couldn’t get there (but will continue with the research here) … whereas we succeeded …
  • adding the Google Charts Geo Chart interfacer’s resultant SVG data as the innerHTML (ie. content) …

TimeZone Places Nearest Places Tweak Tutorial

When we presented GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Nuance Tutorial we tweaked our inhouse TimeZone Places PHP web application. But it needs a “re-tweak”.

In that Nearest Places form part of the TimeZone places webpage, we noticed that even when shaping to enter a TimeZone Placename in the first textbox we made no attempt to fill in …

  • latitude
  • longitude

… when we have the information to do so, and even if we’re misunderstanding a placename designation, that should not stop us from trying, because those two numerical fields above can be corrected, and the form resubmitted, in these scenarios.

Apart from making a PHP derived Javascript variable be made available to the code, we “wrap”

<?php

$otherform="<br><br><iframe id=nearestif name=nearestif style=display:none; src=about:none></iframe><div id=nearest></div><form target=nearestif action=./tz_places.php method=GET style=background-color:#f0f0f0;>Place: <input onblur=\" if (this.value.length > 0) { document.getElementById('nearestif').src=perhapsfillin('./tz_places.php?latitude=&longitude=&place=' + encodeURIComponent(this.value)); } \" type=text id=nplace name=place value=></input> Latitude: <input type=number id=latitude name=latitude value=0.0000 max=90.0000 min=-90.0000 step=0.0001></input> Longitude: <input type=number id=longitude name=longitude value=0.0000 max=180.0000 min=-180.0000 step=0.0001></input><br><input style=background-color:orange; type=submit id=inearest value='Nearest TimeZone Places'></input></form>";

GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Nuance Tutorial

Nuance alert! We’re not sure if you noticed, but if you tried out the Drag and Drop functionality in the World Countries web application of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial you may have noticed …

  • for a country with lots of TimeZone places, like Brazil, you could get a decent Google Chart Geo Chart map up … but if you were to click the “Map?” link down the bottom of that iframe …
  • it would fail to show a Google Chart Map Chart for that country’s TimeZone places

This fix, believe it or not, is interesting, perhaps only in an “internal use only” sense, we grant you. But our solution got us delving even more into hashtagging data, so that the solution we came up with was a hybrid whereby …

  • stayed with PHP $_GET[] (ie. address bar ? and & argumented) data (versus using PHP $_POST[] methodologies) … but …
  • where it came to the &data=[most of the data] part, other than its first character, we hashtagged the rest

… so that the logic flows as per usual, but we intervene at places and flesh it out via location.hash (client side only) means. We won’t bore you too much with all the places of intervention except the receiving map.php’s “easiest to get” intervention

GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial

In a similar vein to the recent GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial, today, we have got a mild makeover happening with the Drag and Drop functionality related to GeoJson World Countries web application usage.

In addition to the Wikipedia information, at the very least, presented following a successful drag and drop operation, from today, we also start presenting a new HTML iframe element containing …

Nearest TimeZone places along with Google Charts for each unique country involved

… used by that changed TimeZone Places tz_places.php helped out by the changed external Javascript countries.js external Javascript all called by our unchanged GeoJson World Countries web application.

The work from that last makeover helped, and today the changes involve …

In tz_places.php start doing what you did for regions.php now for countries.php
<?php

echo "<!doctype html><html><body onload=\"if (('' + top.document.URL).replace('/countries.','/regions.').indexOf('/regions.') != -1) { if (document.getElementById('snearest')) { document.getElementById('snearest').style.left='0px'; } }\" style='background-color:yellow;" . $backstyle .

"</body></html>";

?>
And in countries.js intervene in the dragover event

target.addEventListener("dragover", (ev) => {
console.log("dragOver");
if (window.parent) {
if (parent.document.URL.indexOf('/countries.') != -1) {
var ftables=parent.document.getElementsByTagName('table');

}
}

ev.preventDefault();
});
Intervene again, where applicable

if (parent.document.URL.indexOf('/regions.') != -1) {
window.open('/PHP/tz_places.php?place=&latitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislat(pos4)) + '&longitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislong(pos3)) + '&ntztontz=y','_blank','top=180,left=' + eval(-350 + screen.width) + ',width=350,height=600');

We’ve got a mild makeover happening with the Drag and Drop functionality related to GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Tutorial today.

At first …

  • we wanted the first popup window content be aligned to the top and left … and then …
  • we thought it would be good to also, in “Drag and Drop land”, relevant countries nearby to the user’s drop point TimeZone Places be showing below that (and it panned out the best way to show this, for us, was via an iframe pointing at another incarnation of the tz_places.php webpage, because it could have GET arguments iso, iso2, iso3 etcetera to point at ISO 2 letter country codes, which we made more readily available (via a new data-cc global data attribute applied to the select option subelements presented) for the changed external Javascript countries.js we decided should get into the mix via a new Javascript function …

    function tzagain(inhtml) {
    var outhtml=inhtml, dccs=[], getarg='?', theone=1;
    if (inhtml.indexOf('left:0px;') != -1 && inhtml.indexOf(' data-cc=') != -1) {
    dccs=inhtml.split(' data-cc=');
    for (var ii=1; ii<dccs.length; ii++) {

    }
    }
    }
    return outhtml;
    }

    )

… used by that changed TimeZone Places tz_places.php as exemplified below

GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Tutorial

The primary aim of today’s work, onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Drag and Drop on iPad Tutorial iPad integration is to …

  • add similar drag and drop logic into our World Coastlines GeoJson web application … and along the way, also for the World Countries web application …
  • hold off involving the (pretty kludgy looking) vertical scrollbar of our drag and drop pin’s underlying HTML iframe …

    <iframe scrolling=no frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

    … until the first drag operation starting, calls on …

    parent.document.getElementById('iftr').scrolling='yes';

    … proving a Javascript DOM control of the “scrolling” attribute works (as we weren’t sure, having never done this before)

It’s worth beavering away at a guinea pig web application until (just about complete) satisfaction (for now) before having a parallel set of code changes happening simultaneously, we’ve always found.

So, what happened in “external Javascript land”? No need for a “regions.js” here, as parent.document.URL can be scrutinised in that “external Javascript land” to discover which web application is the parent, and act accordingly. So changed were our changed external Javascript countries.js in …

  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic did not work on an iPad

They’re both iOS! And usually the smaller iPhone has the problem and the larger iPad is okay when there is an odd scenario happening. So, what gives? Well, the odd thing is, it was just rearrangements of code and iframe srcdoc usage

… that ended up helping us fix the issues. Figure this, on iPad our emoji pin could not be made visible down the bottom left of iPad screen but could be made to work in the title elements section?! Of course, we might have been having a bad day, but in our defence, even debugging in Safari via …

  • “long drag” (the user waits a long time between the drag initialization and the drop event)

… and because we found “dawdling” on a drag and drop fairly unnatural, we think this “long drag” idea “has legs”, in that it works well as a deliberate act made by a user, knowing at the end they benefit from their actions.

We’re working on an extension to yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial‘s Rivers Quiz functionality within our GeoJson World Coastlines web application, and have …

  • settled on an approach … but …
  • not yet finished on deployment issues

… but it is this approach we wanted to talk about today.

Our approach borrows from Object Oriented Programming (OOP) the idea that …

  • just as with OOP thinking class names are like nouns and the methods within that class are like verbs … we, with our approach
  • help readability of our non-OOP functional code by including those nouns and verbs, as well as ideas like use of plurals to indicate array involvement, with our Javascript function naming

… we can best illustrate to you via showing you new functions and variables and modified code to show you this approach in code …

GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial

It’s time to turn our attention away from GeoJson World Countries, as talked about with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial, and back to GeoJson World Coastline ideas. Why? We want to add a …


Rivers Quiz

… via the (generously provided) HTTP://geojson.xyz rivers lake centerlines GeoJSON data we download and then uploaded to become rivers.geojson data file. Now we were wondering out of …

  • use the URL to this GeoJSON file as the “src” attribute of an HTML iframe …

    <iframe id=ifrivers onload=getthejson(this); style=display:none; src=./rivers.geojson></iframe>

    … element (and then access the content via the onload event …

    var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

    function getthejson(iois) {
    var aconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
    if (aconto != null) {
    if (aconto.document) { aconto = aconto.document; }
    if (aconto.body != null) {
    rivers='' + aconto.body.innerHTML;
    setTimeout(populaterivers, 500);
    }
    }
    }

    … function) would suffice, or if we would end up using …
  • Ajax call

… to access this data, and were a bit surprised the former method was all fine. Of course there are snazzy inbuilt Javascript hierarchical calls you can make to process the data, but we find, with GeoJSON data, in the client realm (where we’re keen to stay with today’s work (though PHP serverside can, of course, be purloined to do all this work, should you have that available)), of Javascript, we just need very basic string functions …

  • split (versus PHP explode)
  • index (versus PHP strpos)
  • substring (versus PHP substr)
  • replace (versus PHP str_replace)
  • push (versus PHP array_push)

… to get by processing …


var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

function populaterivers() {
var found=-1, ifnd=0;
var rbits=rivers.split(']]}}');
var lastn='', hdrbit='', hbits=[];
for (var irr=1; irr<(-1 + rbits.length); irr++) {
hdrbit=rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature')[eval(-1 + rbits[-1 + irr].split('{' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'type' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'Feature').length)] + '';
hbits=hdrbit.split(',' + String.fromCharCode(34) + 'name' + String.fromCharCode(34) + ':' + String.fromCharCode(34));
if (hbits.length > 1) {
if (lastn != hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0]) {
lastn=hbits[1].split(String.fromCharCode(34))[0];
found=-1;
if (arivers.length > 0) {
for (ifnd=0; ifnd<arivers.length; ifnd++) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).indexOf(':') != -1 && found == -1) {
if (('' + arivers[ifnd]).split(':')[0] == lastn) { found=ifnd; }
}
}
}
if (found >= 0) {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers[found]+=' ' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'');
} else {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers.push(lastn + ':' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,''));
}
} else {
//if (lastn == 'Murray') { console.log(hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'')); }
arivers[-1 + arivers.length]+=' ' + hdrbit.split(':[[')[1].replace(/\]\]\,\[\[/g,' ').replace(/\]\,\[/g,',').replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,'');
}
}
}
lastn='';
}

… the (ever so) consistent GeoJSON data!

The progress with GeoJson World Countries helped too. We knew to add another HTML canvas layer as per

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element dedicated to nearest airport plotting …

    <canvas id=myacanvas height='180' width='360' style='background-color:transparent;z-index:55;display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;'></canvas>
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and to, at document.body onload logic …


// ... and extended document.body onload event logic has added, up near its top ...
elema = document.getElementById('myacanvas');
contexta = elema.getContext('2d');

… and supplement with another HTML sub “emoji button” ❓ ( &#10067; ) type element …


<sub style=cursor:pointer; onclick=getariver(); title='River Quiz'>&#10067;</sub>

… allowing for …

}

… to work the Rivers Quiz. Finally, though, for all good practicalities we also need those zoom logics out of GeoJson World Countries logic, via “emoji button” 🔎 ( &#128270; ) …


<a style=cursor:pointer; title='Zoom In' onclick='event.stopPropagation(); event.preventDefault(); zoomin();'>&#128270;</a>

… calling on meta name=viewport tag for mobile …


<meta id='myviewport' name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes' >

… as well as the zooming Javascript …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0); //izoom*=2;
} else {
//if (1 == 1) {
// alert('Please use your web browser View Menu options Zoom In or Zoom Out');
//} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
//location.href=document.URL.split('?')[0].split('#')[0] + '?zoom=' + encodeURIComponent('' + eval(2 * izoom));
//}
}
}

GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial

There are a few interesting aspects to today’s extension of functionality onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Airports Tutorial‘s GeoJson World Countries web application …

  • where to modularise … we think “data collection” commonality is a good reason, and so we make these changes to intair.php
  • making an (“animated emoji”) button dual purpose on top of originally being a single purpose button …

    <sub title='Show Nearby Airports' onclick='doair=how(true,this); twothousand*=2; this.title=this.title.substring(0,4) + String.fromCharCode(105) + String.fromCharCode(110) + String.fromCharCode(103) + this.title.replace(this.title.split(String.fromCharCode(32))[0] + String.fromCharCode(32), String.fromCharCode(32));' data-type=9992 style=cursor:pointer; id=portsub>&#9992;</sub>

    … working with the intairsuffix global variable that could add a new GET argument where both the “port” label in &port=[value] and that [value] can affect behaviour from the intair.php PHP helper tool above …

    var intairsuffix='', zhra=null, zhrb=null, kklat=0, kklong=0, doair=false, vsll=[-999.0], answered=true;

    function how(atr, isub) {

Introducing the Map Chart recognition of nearby Airports with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Nearest Airports Tutorial‘s progress on our latest GeoJson World Countries PHP web application, it set us to seeing …

  • the combination of Google Directions‘s talents allowing you to reposition on the fly … and …
  • the onmousemove event, at least for our non-mobile users

… could mean that if we pre-plot airports on the world map, given that the user has clicked the ✈ ( &#9992; ) “Show an Interest in Airports” emoji button, as a non-mobile user hovers over the world map, this pre-plotting might help trip planners with their travel options, should air travel be part of their interest, in the same way it is an option up at Google Directions in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below. The overlay scenario now reads

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework … now including …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element dedicated to nearest airport plotting …

    <canvas id=myacanvas height='180' width='360' style='background-color:transparent;z-index:55;display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;'></canvas>
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial

Onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries TimeZone Times Tutorial GeoJson World Countries web application’s capabilities we want to add zooming, that doesn’t rely on web browser functionality (which continues to work). With that in mind we create a new emoji ( &#128270; ) 🔎 link, with this onclick event code …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0);
} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
}
}

… to multiply the webpage zoom factor in a programmatical way. To acheive this, we have a two way approach (as you might have surmised from above) …

  • for mobile, the logic is easier by introducing a new meta name=viewport …

    <meta id="myviewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes" >

    … tag … while …

Some readers might be aware of our “theory regarding adverbs” and “web applications” on the net …

  • the most catered for adverb relates to the “where of life” … and the second banana is …
  • the “when of life”

… and, further to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial‘s emphasis on the “where of life”, today we add in a bit of the “when of life”, something right down the line of the remit of TimeZone talents.

Seriously though, a lot of us dream of the rest of the world on a world map, and wonder what time it is in other parts of the world. Phone call to relatives? A reminder SMS call? Email a game collaboration? It could all be part of life’s rich tapestry!

The expresion of this, for us, today, improving the communications with our current GeoJsom World Countries web application, take the form of emoji clocks from the 12 hour clock example forms such as …

  • 1 o’clock is &#128336; 🕐

  • 2:30 is &#128349; 🕝
  • 11:30 is &#128358; 🕦

GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial

Mostly on smaller devices (such as an iPhone), but elsewhere as well, but less drastically, this morning, using our current Display GeoJson Countries web application we would get the Safari web browser error …

A problem repeatedly occurred with https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/HTMLCSS/countries.php

… with web application work up to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Colour Infill Tutorial.

On discovering our first solution theory of turning yesterday’s mapsvg.js external Javascript work into an async piece of work made no difference to this situation, we surmised that the huge amount of content held in the Javascript (ie. client side) global variable appendtoinnerHTML was causing memory issues. We couldn’t shift much to do with the overall amount of “data” needing to be handled, in order to implement country SVG colour infilling, but we could shift the data from being …

  • client side (external) Javascript held … to, instead, (have that data) be (determined on the) …
  • server side PHP filling in the contents of our (relevant) HTML div id=svgd ahead of the document.body onload event timing …

    … meaning the web application’s underlying HTML size increased at the expense of no need for external Javascript involvement any more

… in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below.

We’re not exactly sure why, but …

  • this improved web application stability …

    …everywhere … and an idea we’d ditched yesterday of …
  • idea to pre-colour “land” parts of the world GeoJson map green (ahead of the document.body onload event) also came good (after causing problems yesterday)

… meaning now, “overlay” wise, we could say

  • document.body lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework …
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and we (reckon we’ve) improved the colour coding user experience at the same time.

We noticed that tweaks in the changed …

There are many advantages regarding today’s task to …

Integrate Google Chart Geo Chart

… as an additional “drill down” map option, functionality adding onto the work of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Tutorial.

What deducible data item needs to be determined for these Geo Charts to work? We need a way to deduce ISO-2 character country codes from the ISO-3 character codes existing in the GeoJson “countries.geojson” data from yesterday’s work. We happened upon the extremely generous mapping data webpage to help with these ISO-2 character deductions

… in our image map area elements PHP creation code above. As you can see, extra “intelligence”, moving forward, is contained in area element global data attributes.

Which leaves us with why any of this helps functionality within our changed countries.php web application you can also try below?

  • Geo Chart can zoom into a country view …
  • Geo Chart can involve emoji (🏠 &127968;) or image (SVG) circle based symbology for the “User Clicked Place” and nearby TimeZone places respectively …
  • all these symbols can be clicked to open popup windows containing TimeZone Place Wikipedia webpages of relevance …
  • an emoji national flag (eg. Zambia “ZA” could be used to derive &#127487;&#127462; 🇿🇦 flag emoji) derived from those ISO-2 character codes can supplement the GeoJson (more ISO-3 character based) names presented in the underlying data, in the Geo Chart title …
  • contextualizing the accompanying Map Chart … and …
  • vice versa regarding hovering over symbology (which works on Map Chart, but not Geo Chart) …
  • within the Map Chart iframe a “Geo” link can glean a “zoomed out” world Geo Chart view of your TimeZone places

Know your GeoJson! Yes, pretty obviously, any two GeoJson datasets might display the same in that “map plotting” sense, but one might have different and/or more “intelligence” than the other. Often, an XML has more “intelligence” than equivalent HTML (barring the use of global data attributes, that is), as today’s Corollacorollary.

And so, moving on from yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline TimeZone Tutorial, today, we present a new GeoJson admin 0 countries we download, and upload as “countries.geojson” data set, again via the excellent HTTP://geojson.xyz/ repository, thanks.

From it, we do get a different JSON additional “intelligence”
