I am using a Blumix free account to develop a chat-bot using watson conversation.
How do I add a clickable URL in the response, or automatically call a URL in browser?
I have edited the "advanced response" using the suggestions as described on this page but could not get it work.
How can I achieve that?
I don't know if I understood your question correctly, but.. if you wants add some url inside flows Conversation Service (IBM Watson), try it:
1º: Add the url with tag <a target> and href= your URL inside flows. See the example:
JSON:
"output": {
"text": "This is a link <a target=\"_blank\" href= \"https://www.choosemyplate.gov\">Food and nutrition Guide</a>.\n<br/><br/>Talk to you later, bye for now!"
},
2º See that it did not work inside the Conversation, because it will be your browser that will render the html.
3º If you open with your browser, it works, see:
See that the link is showing up, and this will work for other things in html, like button, for example...
But if you can: based on user input should access a url:
This is done by using two features: Context.request skip_user_input
A request is a special context variable that has args, name and result. It is used to tell the calling app that it should do some action based on this variable.
Setting skip_user_input is optional. In many cases, you might want to execute some business logic in your application and then provide its results via result. Setting skip_user_input to true, will tell Watson Conversation to not wait for input from the user. Thus, your condition on the next node should be based on the content inside result.
{
"output": {},
"context": {
"request": {
"args": {
"url_to_invoke": "your_url"
},
"name": "Call_A_URL",
"result": "context.response"
},
"skip_user_input": true
}
}

I am currently making an app that generates Itineraries and I am able to convert the html to pdf using PDFjs using something like this:
var doc = new jsPDF();
doc.fromHTML(html);
doc.save("YourItinerary.pdf");
How should I proceed about making a shareable link to this pdf on client-side preferably using an API such as Google Drive?
Getting the shareable link would be to get the webViewLink which you can try by passing webViewLink as parameter in the 'fields' property in Files.get. This returns a link you can open in any browser. However, you also have to deal with permissions.
To make the webViewLink (your shareable link) work for anyone you can use in Permissions.create:
{
"role": "writer",
"type": "anyone",
}
To make the webViewLink available to certain users only you'll have a request body like:
{
"role": "writer",
"type": "user",
"emailAddress": "someuser#gmail.com"
}
I'm experimenting with a Conversation where I would like to modify the output in a couple of different ways:
different output for speech or text
different output depending on the tone of the conversation
It looks like I can add extra output details which make it through to the client ok. For example, adding speech alongside text...
{
"output": {
"speech": {
"Hi. Please see my website for details."
},
"link": "http://www.example.com",
"text": {
"Hi. Please see http://www.example.com for details."
}
}
}
For the tone, I wondered about making up a custom selection policy, unfortunately it seems to treat it the same as a random selection policy. For example...
{
"output": {
"text": {
"values": [
"Hello. Please see http://www.example.com for more details.",
"Hi. Please see http://www.example.com for details."
]
},
"append": false,
"selection_policy": "tone"
}
}
I could just add a separate tone-sensitive object to output though so that's not a big problem.
Would there be any issues adding things to output in this way?
You can definitely use the output field to specify custom variables you want your client app to see with the benefit that these variables will not persist across multiple dialog rounds (which they would if you would add them to the context field).
Now currently there is no "easy" way how to define your custom selection policy (apart from the random and sequential supported by the runtime right now) - but you could still return an array of possible answers to the client app with some attribute telling the client app which selection policy to use and you would implement this policy in the client app.
Say I have an API endpoint at /users and another one at /cars. Naturally, a GET request to either of them will get all users or cars available. Now, a GET /users/74/cars should return all cars belonging to user 74.
But my app has many models related to cars, not just users, so more endpoints exist like /shops/34/cars and /mechanics/12/cars. For simplicity, I want all PUT/PATCH requests to be made to the main /cars endpoint.
At the moment of performing the save, Restangular will by default do a PUT request to the endpoint through which the item was loaded. But that endpoint do not exist.
It also provides a nice Restangular.setParentless(['cars']) method that will discard the first part of the url. However, I don't want to do this globally, but specifically for a particular element.
The neatest would actually do it globally, but restrict it for a specific method, like: Restangular.setParentless(['cars'], ['PUT']).
Anything like that around? Or am I overcomplicating it?
So far I tried stuff I don't like:
delete car.parentResource;
I would recommend using self reference links. A self reference link is a link which stores the route which should be used for GET/PUT/DELETE etc. on the item, rather than the URL from which it was pulled.
Example, update the mileage on one of user id 74's cars:
First, configure Restangular to look for a self link property called 'self' on each object.
RestangularProvider.setRestangularFields({
selfLink: 'self'
});
Next, make your call to get the cars. I'll assume that you have already modified your API to return a property called 'self' on each object that has the URL to it's proper API endpoint.
GET /users/74/cars
[
{
"id": 12,
"model": "Camaro",
"make": "Chevrolet",
"year": 1969,
"color": "red",
"odometer": 67294,
"license": "ABC12345",
"self": "/cars/12"
},
{
"id": 14,
"model": "Gallardo",
"make": "Lamborghini",
"year": 2015,
"color": "black",
"odometer": 521,
"license": "XYZ34567",
"self": "/cars/14"
}
]
We want to add some miles to one of them, and then save it. The entire Restangular code would look like:
Restangular.one('users', 74).all('cars').getList().then(function(cars){
cars[1].odometer = 613;
cars[1].put();
});
The PUT will go to /cars/14 instead of /users/74/cars/14. This is very useful for applications like yours that relate models as a graph rather than a strict hierarchical tree.
I have a successful connection setup between a FTP site and dropbox using a azure logic app. But while setting it up it kept just downloading the file then, since I had the next step wrong, deleting.
In a test environment this is annoying. In production, pretty awful.
Here is the code I am using on the action part:
"operation": "UploadFile",
"parameters": {
"FilePath": "#{triggers().outputs.body.FilePath}",
"content": {
"Content": "#{triggers().outputs.body.Content}",
"ContentTransferEncoding": "None"
},
"overwrite": true
},
Is there anything I can do so that if it fails it leave the file on the server?
I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but I will give it a try. Maybe you can reformulate the question if I misinterpret you.
But yes, there exists "conditions" in Logic Apps which can be used. If you are new to Logic Apps I'd suggest you use "designer view" and you can then click "Add condition to be met". This would visualize a text box in which you can formulate conditions. For instance:
#equals({your data}, bool('true'))
To check if some value is true, or something similar to check if data is null.
I have been teaching myself how to write apps in AngularJS for Firefox OS for a university assignment. This is my first attempt at writing an app in JS.
The aim of the app is to run commands based upon 'commands' sent via SMS (aka, 'ring loud', 'lock device', 'turn on wifi', and reply to an SMS command with GPS locations). At the moment, I'm just trying to do a simple $window.alert('Messaged Received'), to display when an SMS has been received.
My problem is, I am trying to create an addEventListener for incoming SMS, and for the moment, display an $window.alert(). Later, I will use a case switch.
I've referred to the MDN API to create the Event Listener.
var mozMM = navigator.mozMobileMessage;
mozMM.addEventListener('received', function addEventListener(evt) {
// Display a alert when a message is received
$window.alert('SMS received');
$window.alert(evt.message.body);
}, false);
My manifest.webapp has been set up to include all the relevant settings:
"type" : "certified",
"permissions": {
"backgroundservice":{},
"sms":{},
...
},
"messages": [
{ "sms-received": "/index.html" },
{ "notification": "/index.html" }
]
I am able to send SMS from my app without any issues. So I assume I have no problems with my permissions. I've also confirmed that I have full access to the mozMobileMessage object.
For testing, I am using a Geekphone, which has been rooted, and can install certified apps.
I have uploaded the source code to github:
https://github.com/s3069246/findmydevice/tree/master/app
Thanks to someone on Google Groups for giving me the correct solution. I thought I would also share it here.
The issue was that I was using the wrong Event Handler. I should have been using a system message handler instead
navigator.mozSetMessageHandler('sms-received', function onSMS(sms) {
/* here your code */
});
Combined with the "message": [] handler in the manifest, the system handler will alert the application that a message has been received, even if the app is running in the background.
