hi guys, first and foremost: thank you for the community feel of this place. Whenever, i come back, it never feels like. So here is m problem: i am trying to implement a carousel effect on a web page, i think(?) i am getting the code right, but the effect isn't just happening. Here is my script.js code
var slideInterval = 3500;
function getFigures() {
return document.getElementById('carousel').getElementsByTagName('figure');
}
function moveForward() {
var pointer;
var figures = getFigures();
for (var i = 0; i < figures.length; i++) {
if (figures[i].className == 'visible') {
figures[i].className = '';
pointer = i;
}
}
if (++pointer == figures.length) {
pointer = 0;
}
figures[pointer].className = 'visible';
setTimeout(moveForward, slideInterval);
function startPlayback() {
setTimeout(moveForward, slideInterval);
}
startPlayback();Please somebody, anybody, give me a clue as to where error is.
@jeffersonnnn Where is the end of the moveForward function? Missing
}
It works! It works! It works! cue maniacal laughter
Thanks @sjames1958gm , you rock.
jeffersonnnn sends brownie points to @sjames1958gm :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:

Hello!
Anybody have any experience with ontouchstart?
Anybody have any experience with ontouchstart?
not me
@jeffersonnnn :+1:
@gbsimon87 Nope!
Cheers anyways guys :)
Cheers!
It is Friday afterall
Cheeeeeeeeers
Ima be cheerin later tonight
I'll be sleeping later tonight :P
Right now, I need to figure out why my damn sql query isn't working
Oh yeah that'll still be happening in a timely fashion. Planning for today's travels did not leave me a lot of time to sleep :(
ooh can I help
I wish you could haha. The query works fine in SSMS it's a problem with it in my program
I think initially it was becuase I was using a UNC path, thus escape characters were being added
Oh that's unfortunate
but now I switched to using a like operand and its still not liking it
My favorite case of character insertion was when using the console to debug PubNub functions. URL encoded strings were logging as plain text so I spent hours thinking the error in my code was related to that instead of my API config
I'm too tired to even start to understand what this PubNub is lol
ARRRGGHHHHH :(
It's what Uber etc use as serverless real-time data stream architecture
Functions is like AWS Lambda if you're familiar with that, ie do something with the payload while it's on its way
Interesting, seems beyond my grasp of knowledge :P
They guarantee delivery of your payload within 250ms, so the server architecture is really their core competency
$(document).ready(function(){
var usernam = $('#username').val();
var passwor = $('#password').val();
$("#register").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type : 'post',
url : 'http://localhost:8000/login',
data : {
username : usernam,
password : passwor
},
ContentType : "application/json",
dataType : "json",
success : function(data,err){
console.log(data);
if(err)
console.log(err);
}
});
});
});
hi guys , this is not posting the data.
can u pls say,y?
@kbaig Alright..maybe you can help me.. you ever setup a trace in SQL Server Profiler to watch for inbound queries? I want to see what my query looks like to the server
@JLuboff I can only help on the query side sorry bud haha
I've never done it from a dev perspective
username and password are the my collection struct.
@kbaig You disappoint me :P
I disappoint me too
so we have something in common
@1532j0004kg one issue is
ContentType rather than contentType
and
type should be method
type is ok
Oh I just found it nvm
I'm literally just reading the above docs page
Type is too general of a word to ctrl+f
I would probably change the url to
url: '/login'
ContentType i gave correctly
stringify wanna to use?
@1532j0004kg either say
wanna or say want to.. wanna to is bad and redundant ;)
@1532j0004kg the reason the data is not posted is that you're doing
var usernam = $('#username').val();
var passwor = $('#password').val();on document ready. You want to do that when you click the button
You need to do
$("#register").click(function(){
var usernam = $('#username').val();
var passwor = $('#password').val();
$.ajax({
type : 'post',
url : 'http://localhost:8000/login',
data : {
username : usernam,
password : passwor
},
ContentType : "application/json",
dataType : "json",
success : function(data,err){
console.log(data);
if(err)
console.log(err);
}
});
});
or even better
$(document).ready(function() {
var usernam = $('#username');
var passwor = $('#password');
$('#register').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'http://localhost:8000/login',
data: {
username: usernam.val().trim(),
password: passwor.val().trim(),
},
ContentType: 'application/json',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data, err) {
console.log(data);
if (err) console.log(err);
},
});
});
});
@JLuboff I am grateful for the informattion
if i used without stringify it shows the error of bad request.
@SweetCodingInc
but we need to stringify , when we need to send data to server right?
You also need to set
method: 'post' not type:'post'
y method we need to give?
@1532j0004kg never mind...
you can use type as well
ok can u please tell purpose of contenttype?
@1532j0004kg I will in a moment
before that, can you show your login code you have on your server?
ok
sure
var express = require("express");
var router = express.Router();
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var usersSchema = mongoose.Schema({
username : String,
password : String
});
var usersModel = mongoose.model('users' , usersSchema);
router.post('/login' ,function(req,res){
var newUser = new usersModel();
newUser.username = req.body.username;
newUser.password = req.body.password;
newUser.save(function(err,savedObject){
if(err)
{
res.statusCode(500).send();
}
else {
res.send(savedObject);
}
});
});
module.exports = router;
sweet
hold on
:smile:
sure
@RoniqueRicketts Which information?
@JLuboff about the passport.js
I am late, I got distracted with trading btc so I haven't coded much since year :(
@1532j0004kg I'm back
Let me take a look at your code
Don't see any major problems
can you tell me whats the exact error you're getting?
@RoniqueRicketts what are your transaction confirmation times looking like?
@kbaig meaning?
when i posting ,the data's are posted ,but with empty.
it means the data's i given are not sended properly
@1532j0004kg Exactly... Then do what I told you.
Get values from your inputs after you click the button
but sended with empty
ok
@RoniqueRicketts how long from when you request a transaction is your exchange confirming that it occurred
I'm hearing lead times like 7 days
@RoniqueRicketts Ah, of course. I bought some bitcoin..now just seeing what it does (I bought an initial $25 at 15.8 then it dropped a bunch so I bought another $25 at 11.2 which shoould get me back to my initial investment at some point :joy: )
@SweetCodingInc perfectits working
then can u pls say y ?
its not accepting when i get the data outside event?
and also verymuch thanks
:smile:
@kbaig I trade on hitbtc. I mine alt coins and trade but I havent sent any money to my wallet in a while
@1532j0004kg I already told you
You want to do that when you click the button
You're reading value from you input at the time of document ready. (using
.val)
when the document ready event is triggered, your inputs are empty
you will enter values in your inputs AFTER your document is ready.
And you will click button when you're done entering the values
so you want to read values after you click the button, when you know the input is entered
@JLuboff good transfer that balance to a online trader and buy some alt coins, its possible you can double or triple within a week.
@RoniqueRicketts I don't know enough about crypto to get into that, let alone to know which coins to get into
I'm still trying to save a 6 month emergency fund
I started from $0.01 USD I started September and By December I was up to $40
@SweetCodingInc gotit!
then after that I'll think about putting this finance degree to some use
then one more u earlier said u teach me application/json is what ?
@JLuboff you cant go wrong with ETH, BCH and KBR (Japanese coin that will be used for gaming tokens)
can u pls tell (i want to know)
I'd love to learn how to code cryptos'
@1532j0004kg Its the type of data you expect from the server
@RoniqueRicketts How would I transfer from coinbase to an exchange?
When you set content type to
application/json, jQuery will convert data from the server to js object.
if you don't set it, you will have to manually parse the string to js object.
for that only i gave the
type : json
nope. you gave dataType
not type.
You've set type to
post
yes :smile:
dataType will stringify your
data object to JSON
because you have
dataType: 'json'
but since you've already set content type, you can safely remove dataType
@JLuboff What do you think about the react course that's offering on udacity where they place us in a job?
Re: prev message. you will have to sigin up on a exchange market like binance or hitbtc then use the deposit option in the exchange tool and you will get an address to send the funds. You can then send the coin from your wallet to the exchange tool.

then y i used stringify ?
@kbaig Fuck. I think I found out my issue.. I was using a .NET method
.ExecuteNonQuery which returns the number of row's affected.. well its meant to be used only with DML statements.. hence why it wasn't working for me with a Select statement :neutral_face:
@SweetCodingInc
then y i used stringify ?
@1532j0004kg You did not.
Where did you use stringify?
@RoniqueRicketts I haven't heard of that course. I haven't had time to really look into React unfortunately :(
I'll check out hitbtc or biancee then

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#register").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type : "post",
url : 'http://localhost:8000/login',
data : JSON.stringify({
username : $('#username').val(),
password : $('#password').val()
}),
contentType : "application/json",
dataType : 'json',
success : function(data,err){
console.log(data);
if(err)
console.log(err);
}
});
});
});
@JLuboff lol ok
@1532j0004kg You don't need to
This is enough
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: 'http://localhost:8000/login',
data: {
username: $username.val().trim(),
password: $password.val().trim(),
},
ContentType: 'application/json',
success: function (data, err) {
console.log(data);
if (err) console.log(err);
},
});Also, instead of doing
console.log(data);
if (err) console.log(err);you can simply do
console.log(err ? err : data);
but when i gave with stringify it shows err(bad request);
@JLuboff https://www.udacity.com/course/react-nanodegree--nd019 they claim they place us in jobs or money back....
@1532j0004kg Then don't do it :laughing:
hehe :smile:
i think dataType tells that what type of data client will accept.
Yes
It's all given here
@RoniqueRicketts Well.. it is a pretty hefty upfront cost but if they get you a job you'll easily recover that..
@JLuboff lol I plan to use my cryptocoins money to pay for it heheh.
But it is a 4 month course. Roughly 192 hours of work total.
@SweetCodingInc this is what i expected.
thanks @1532j0004kg
sorry 1532j0004kg, you can't send brownie points to yourself! :sparkles: :sparkles:
:smile:
thanks @SweetCodingInc
1532j0004kg sends brownie points to @sweetcodinginc :sparkles: :thumbsup: :sparkles:
:cookie: 198 | @sweetcodinginc |http://www.freecodecamp.org/sweetcodinginc
@JLuboff yup, but I plan to get it for free (useing my btc money to pay for it) I wanted to get good at react and also get a job :)
@1532j0004kg :+1:
@RoniqueRicketts I thought you had a coding job of some sort?
@JLuboff turns out the guy is a big time waster who wanted someone to code for $2 an hour. I wanted to smack him with my shoe, I felt disrespected.
@RoniqueRicketts Ah, thats shitty. Sorry to hear that
@JLuboff Ya its ok, its a lesson. I am not phased by it, I just gotta focus on getting better at what I can do so I can be a good enough programmer.
Thats a good attitude to have
I don't give up easily man.
@RoniqueRicketts I'm learning solidity (ethereum programming language) at the moment. It's not that different from js, but has a couple gotchas.
Using a nice course on Udemy
@forkerino wow nice. heard this is the best coin in terms of security.
@forkerino what do u think of the udacity nanodegree program?
What would be the purpose of learning solidity? @forkerino
@RoniqueRicketts the job guarantee is nice, but you can learn React without spending the money, so depending on the job market in your location it might or might not be worth it.
@JLuboff coding smart contracts
@forkerino pssh. Its hard to find a programming job in Jamaica.
which does...what exactly? (I went the easy route of coinbase so I really don't know much in regards to crypto)
@JLuboff well it seem like a hot bread
@forkerino I would only do it for the job part of it and also to learn react from another person.
@JLuboff smart contracts can be used to put things we would put in a normal contract on the blockchain, making it verifiable by anyone. You can also program in the terms (i.e. when such a thing happens, a payment is done, etc.).
Ah... interesting
@RoniqueRicketts I did a fantastic course on React on Udemy (as well, actually by the same guy - Stephen Grider - who does the Solidity course), learned a ton and if you code along you'll definitely pick up a lot of skills.
Paid ~15 euros for it when it was on sale
@forkerino I like that. I am gonna get some react practice then buy the udacity course.
Of course, it is not as extensive as the nanodegree, but I don't really know what more there is to learn except dive deep into the source code.... and together with a couple other courses I consider myself pretty proficient in React. It all depends on building some projects using React.
For work I'm doing AngularJS now, in combination with Redux, but we may switch to React or Vue later this year, depending on how well Angular JS will maintain when we start scaling.
@forkerino the reason I will do the nanodegree is the gurantee job. Plus I wont pay for it out of my pocket.
Heard that React is best for scaling vs Vue or Angular.
@forkerino Do you remember the Ethereum/Ethereum Classic split? As far as I understand, a mistake in their smart contract made it necessary.
@Blauelf I do remember that, it was because of a bug in a single smart contract which was created by a DAO (which called itself 'the DAO'). It got a lot of traction early on, because it was the first of its kind, but because of the bug, there was a lot of money lost to a hacker. They forked to undo the hack, and everyone suddenly had Ether and Ether Classic (where classic is the continuation of the hacked branch). I understand why they chose to fork, because of the amount of people affected by it, but some purists claim this is not what blockchain is supposed to be like.
Hi. Anyone tried working with http://opalang.org/ ?
I might make a little app for my android that can tell me the price of the coins I follow. https://api.hitbtc.com/
Hey, I am just working on the https://www.freecodecamp.org/challenges/exact-change challenge.
I just read through the hints, FCC gives me, but I can't understand what they mean with this one:
"Life is easier when you get to know the value of each currency type in the register instead of how much money is composed of that particular currency. So be sure to watch out for that."
I honestly don't quite know what this sentence means, as I already seem to know, what values are linked to each currency...?
@bradley1492 I think it means 3 x 0.50 instead of 1.50 of 0.50?
Not sure tho
@Chrono79 Oh okay, that could make sence, I already thought that the keys of the properties in the cid array will be funny to deal with.
I am not quite sure how to work with them as they seem to be words and not numbers. At least that is my initial thought at the beginning :)
I am not quite sure how to work with them as they seem to be words and not numbers. At least that is my initial thought at the beginning :)
I would suggest you work in cents
@Chrono79 No one likes to work for cents though :(
Beggars aren't choosers :P
Damn capitalism
:)
@Chrono79 I think I can manage to work in cents in general, but I can't think how in this array I would work with the words as keys.
Do you mean I should convert the keys to cents?
Do you mean I should convert the keys to cents?
[["PENNY", 1.01], ["NICKEL", 2.05], ["DIME", 3.10], ["QUARTER", 4.25], ["ONE", 90.00], ["FIVE", 55.00], ["TEN", 20.00], ["TWENTY", 60.00], ["ONE HUNDRED", 100.00]]
not the keys, no, the values
I can't access any of my past solutions, anyone else has this problem?
@Chrono79 yes this I will do anyway --> converting the values to cents.
But I wonder how to deal with the words.
But I wonder how to deal with the words.
@Chrono79 I clicked on view solution...and there is no solution in there
on your own or on my profile?
@Chrono79 My own, I don't care about yours :P
lol
give us back our solutions!
They're making millions right now with them :P
hahahaha
I remember that challenge. That one took me a while.
@JLuboff you can still get it using something like this and pasting the url of the solution link
I dunno if the problem is related to accesing the beta of freecodecamp
Nope, it's because of this: https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/i-cant-access-my-previous-code-solutions-under-view-solutions/169482
It seemed easy at first, but just now I grasp the more deep nature of it...
Deep for my point of view^^
Deep for my point of view^^
@Chrono79 Ah. Either way I have all my solutions saved in a Onenote notebook'
Nice snippet: https://freecodecamp-solutions.herokuapp.com/
I could download all my code in a zip

/*function destroyer(arr) {
return arguments[0].filter(notThose(val){
return val !== arguments[1] && val !== arguments[2];
});}
// USE FILTER TO TAKE OUT ARGUMENT[1.]
destroyer([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], 2, 3); */
SAYS MY SYNTAX IS OFF
@gusd773 The filter callback function has its own arguments object.
The number of destroyers arguments is not known so you need to loop or iterate them.
@Masd925 so even if i put the 2 last arguments into another array i couldn't filter them through that?
@gusd773 You could put all the extra arguments after the array into another array, yes.
if so how would that look? I am trying to get the hang of the filter syntax as it's confusing,
@gusd773 @Masd925
@gusd773 You can do
var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments,1); and then solve it using arr and args.
arr is the passed array and args holds the extra arguments.
You need to loop or iterate args inside filter callback function.
@Masd925 :wave:
@JLuboff Hi.
Whats the good word?
@JLuboff I think I might have broken my knee today. There was a loud pop when I was carrying another guy on my back. No pain but most likely something broken.
...why were you carrying another guy?
@JLuboff BJJ training.
@JLuboff Back to training chess :rat:
@Masd925 Makes sense, I guess :D
@JLuboff Chess is the most deadly sport in the world.
I always enjoyed checkers over chess...but I'm not big on either
