I have a new requirement in my AngularJS application. When a new client (patient, in my case) is coming to the medical center for the first time, I must have the possibility to scan his/her ID card, and in this way the admission process can be speeded up, because every data included in the ID card can be automatically read into their corresponding form fields. How can I do this from a computer (not from a mobile device)?
The idea is having this possibility, so the form is automatically completed into my Angular JS form. I suppose every read field should be loaded into a JSON structure (one JSON structure for the whole form). If all data is correct, it is sent to my Node JS backend as usual.
Is it possible to do this in any way? Thank you very much.
Assuming you are using USB scanner you could try something like:
var chars = []
$document.on('keydown', function (e) {
if (e.which === 13) {
//broadcast event
var scannerValue = chars.join("");
console.log('broadcast cpScannerEvent: ' + scannerValue );
$rootScope.$broadcast('cpScannerEvent', { scanner: scannerValue });
//clean buffer
chars = [];
} else {
chars.push(String.fromCharCode(e.which));
}
});
From your comments I'm am assuming that you have a scanner attached to a Windows desktop computer. Typically, those types of scanners have a TWAIN driver to control the scanner from the computer. TWAIN is a message based system and requires a Windows handle. That being said, there is no direct way to access TWAIN devices from within a browser application. However, you can create a service proxy to get around this.
There is a white paper that describes how to develop this type of proxy using LEADTOOLS, a 3rd party SDK: LEADTOOLS HTML5 Scanning White Paper
LEADTOOLS can help you find and extract text, numeric, and date information from any driver's license or identification card, including field like:
Name
ID Number
Address
Gender
Race
Organ donor election
Signature
Date of Birth
Issuing Date
Expiration Date
I would probably process and extract in the scanning proxy on the desktop since you already have the image and you will probably want to return the extracted data as JSON anyway. For more information, check out the LEADTOOLS Driver's License Recognition and Processing SDK page.
If you want to try these things out, you can for free. Technical support is also free and can help guide you through this part of your project.

I'm managing a company website, where we have to display our products. We however do not want to handle the admin edit for this CPT, nor offer the ability to access to the form. But we have to read some product data form the admin edit page. All has to be created or updated via our CRM platform automatically.
For this matter, I already setup a CPT (wprc_pr) and registered 6 custom hierarchical terms: 1 generic for the types (wprc_pr_type) and 5 targeting each types available: wprc_pr_rb, wprc_pr_sp, wprc_pr_pe, wprc_pr_ce and wprc_pr_pr. All those taxonomies are required for filtering purposes (was the old way of working, maybe not the best, opened to suggestions here). We happen to come out with archive pages links looking like site.tld/generic/specific-parent/specific-child/ which is what is desired here.
I have a internal tool, nodeJS based, to batch create products from our CRM. The job is simple: get all products not yet pushed to the website, format a new post, push it to the WP REST API, wait for response, updated CRM data in consequence, and proceed to next product. Handle about 1600 products today on trialn each gone fine
The issue for now is that in order for me to put the correct terms to the new post, I have to compute for each product the generic type and specific type children.
I handled that by creating 6 files, one for each taxonomy. Each file is basically a giant JS object with the id from the CRM as a key, and the term id as a value. My script handles the category assertion like that:
wp_taxonomy = [jsTaxonomyMapper[crm_id1][crm_id2]] // or [] if not found
I have to say it is working pretty well, and that I could stop here. But I will have to take that computing to the wp_after_insert_post hook, in order to reaffect the post to the desired category on updated if something changed on the CRM.
Not quite difficult, but if I happen to add category on the CRM, I'll have to manually edit my mappers to add the new terms, and believe me that's a hassle.
Not waiting for a full solution here, but a way to work the thing. Maybe a way to computed those mappers and store their values in the options table maybe, or have a mapper class, I don't know at all.
Additional information:
Data from the CRM comes as integers (ids corresponding to a label) and the mappers today consist of 6 arrays (nested or not), about 600 total entries.
If you have something for me, or even suggestions to simplify the process, I'll go with it.
Thanks.
EDIT :
Went with another approach, see comment below.
Question about Marketing Cloud Connect - In case of Individual Email Result in Salesforce, an email preview is sent from MC to SF object along with a thumbnail preview of the email template (as base64 encoded image). This thumbnail has two problems.
a. isn’t clear enough for the sales agent to see what was sent to customer
b. can’t find what offer percentage was given to customer as the preview has ampscript value instead of actual value.
There is no way to change the default configs of MCC to increase the thumbnail size. To solve this and improve the image resolution, I’ve thought of below solutions. Is there any other possible way that you’ve done?
From customer send log, take ‘view_email_url’ and get the html using a visual force page and remove all the ‘https://click…xx.com/’ links to ensure click/ open counts aren’t impacted. Downside - # of api calls to make are higher
For every email, create a jpg preview of the email template and store it in MC and store this in SF in a custom object as ‘EmailName vs EmailPreviewUrl’. And, whenever a marketer creates a new email, they have to ensure that they create a jpg copy in MC and update associated record in Saleforce custom object. Downside - sales agent will not know what % of offer is given to customer (ps - % of offer is decided in MC automation based on raw order information we’ve about this customer). To manage this downside, we can send the offer details of each customer to SF using updateSingleSalesforceObject method everytime an email is sent. To do this, all the campaigns should be standardized to some extend.
Any other thoughts? is there any configs that I can flip to increase the image size?
To answer this question, we ended up creating a cloudpage code resource (similar to API) that returns the complete HTML of 'view_email_url' (aka view as web page) for a given email + Subscriber + datesent + BU. We used SSJS to query sendLog DE using these inputs to figure out the view_email_url value. To avoid counting view_email_url opens to tracking opens, we wrapped the open counter pixel inside a context variable - something like below.
%%[
IF _messagecontext != 'VAWP' THEN
]%%
<custom name="opencounter" type="tracking" />
%%[ ENDIF ]%%
I am trying to generate a random response for my Alexa Skill. I have set it up as:
Intent = myIntent
Slot = mySlot
Slot Type = mySlotType
Slot Values = {A,B,C,D} //the ids are unique numbers 1 - 4
when the user says a word such as A it uses this to create a response. Now I want to add a case for 'random'.
So Slot Values = {random,A,B,C,D}. //ID for random is 0
When the user says random, I want to randomly choose from the other Slot Values and use this to create a response.
Can Slot Value ID be used to return the Slot Value value?
Anybody know a good way to do this? I am a novice so excuse any obvious oversights.
This might be a workaround for your problem. You can get the JSON structure of your interaction model and use it as a constant in your lambda index.js file. I usually use this official tool for generating backend code for my skill
:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/webappvui/skillcode/v2/index.html.
When you'll generate the code through this tool, you'll see that the code generated also has the whole interaction model used as constant. Since you will have the whole JSON schema of the interaction model at your disposal, you can perform any action on it.
Note: If you don't know where to get JSON schema of your interaction model, scroll down on the build tab of your skill on the developer console, you'll find a menu of JSON editor on the left navigation. It will give you the JSON schema of your interaction model.
You can use mySlot as optional value in the intent description. For example you can add few utterances without slot inside them. And on the backend side you can check is the slot filled. If it is not filled you can generate random answer.
im trying to obtain some demographic data from the google analytics api, my intention is to integrate this on a cms to generate reports, etc... is this possible?
if it is, is there someone who knows a tutorial or something? i have used the examples provided and i get some sessions that have been in the last 7 day period. But nothing besides that. If that is not possible, what kind of things i can obtain with this api?
here is what i have tried:
function getResults(&$analytics, $profileId) {
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions');
}
thanks in advance.
You can obtain everything that's listed in the Dimensions and Metrics Reference. This includes ga:userAgeBracket and ga:userGender for demographic information.
To include additional metrics (numerical data) you put it as a parameter where you now have ga:sessions (separate multiple metrics with a comma). You need at least one metric for a query to work.
To add dimensions (i.e. categorical data) you need to pass an options array to your query that has a key/value pair for dimensions. This may also include additional options like filters or sort options, see the example here..
$optParams = array(
'dimensions' => 'ga:userAgeBracket,ga:userGender'
);
return $analytics->data_ga->get(
'ga:' . $profileId,
'7daysAgo',
'today',
'ga:sessions',
$optParams
);
This for version 3 of the API. If you are just getting started an have no legacy code to maintain you might as well start with there current version (v4).
To be able to get age and gender informations from analytics, you should Enable Demographics and Interests reports on your GA account.

I am writing a Chrome extension using AngularJS to add functionality to the Soundcloud stream page. I want to allow the user to create groups of artists so that they may only see a stream with tracks/shares/playlists from that group of artists.
For example, I follow 500 artists, but I want to quickly see a stream from my favorite 10 artists or from the artists I follow that are on the same label.
I am looking for advice on how I could go about making this as seamless as possible. As of right now, my approach involves getting the tracks with the Soundcloud API and using angular's ng-repeat to display the tracks in a view injected into where the stream normally goes. I realized using the Soundcloud widget was too slow and can't be customized to resemble the native stream items, so I copy/pasted the HTML that an actual stream item uses, but obviously the waveform/comment canvas and button functionality don't work.
What are my options as far as how I can approach this? Am I going to need to write my own players that look like the native Soundcloud ones? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You should use the SoundCloud API which is very well documented.
If you have already the id's of the tracks / artist, you just have to request the url
GET
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/ID_OF_TRACK.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
to get all the informations you need about this track, like the waveform_url, and for the comments you was talking about :
GET
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/ID_OF_TRACK/comments.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
To reproduce the behaviour of the comments :
POST http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/ID_OF_TRACK/comments.json?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
(with a body param which represents the text and a timestamp in ms since the beginnin of the song, note that you must be connected)
If you don't have the id of the track, you could also use the resolve which give you all the info about a ressource if you have only the URL :
GET
http://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=https://soundcloud.com/poldoore/pete-rock-c-l-smooth-they&client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID
