So this is an article with some common snippets of code that use the InvokeConnector and do things we can't do in shortcode.
Zoho Deluge - Compare time and currenttime with timezone
- Category: Zoho
- Hits: 20006
This is a quick article to demonstrate how to compare two datetime values with the timezone specified.
Why?
A client's ZohoCRM had a different timezone setting than the user a script would be run as. The time difference was just one hour but this caused problems if comparing two datetime values. In this particular case, we needed to check on the expiry of an access token used in OAuth2.0 for an API.
How?
All with deluge but we will split the date and time value obtained from a CRM field and compare it to the current time combined with a timezone. In this particular case, we will switch the current time to Europe/London (You can use an abbreviation such as GMT but this doesn't seem to check if daylight savings is in effect):
Autohotkey - Chrome Profiles in Alphabetical Order
- Category: AutoHotkey
- Hits: 16888
- MS Windows 10 Pro v10.0.18362 Build 18362 (64-bit)
- Google Chrome Browser v79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- AutoHotkey v1.1.30.01
This is an article to create a standalone application which lists all the Google Chrome Profiles on your Windows 10 workstation in alphabetical order.
Why?
This program will be redundant if Google ever update their Chrome browser to list the multiple profiles in alphabetical order like it used to be... but to date they have not. So I made a program that lists the profiles in alphabetical order and can be double-clicked to open the Chrome browser with that profile.
How?
So you will need to be able to run AutoHotkey or create executables from an AHK file.
PHP - Remove newlines and spaces from StyleSheet
- Category: Personal Home Page
- Hits: 8504
What?
This is a quick note on how to reduce a whole bunch of CSS into a single line without unnecessary spaces and new lines.
Why?
What I have:
#copyright a{
margin: 10px 0 0 85px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 0px rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.3);
}
What I want:
#copyright a{margin:10px 0 0 85px;box-shadow:5px 5px 5px 0px rgba(51,51,51,0.3);}
How?
So I'm doing this with a regular expression to get rid of newlines:
$v_AppStyle = "
#copyright a{
margin: 10px 0 0 85px;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 0px rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.3);
}";
$v_AppStyleFormatted = preg_replace('/\s+/', ' ', $v_AppStyle);
and a few str_replace arrays:
// exceptions
$a_ReplaceFrom1 = array("px ", "0 ", " a");
$a_ReplaceTo1 = array("px?", "0?", "?a");
$v_AppStyleFormatted = str_replace($a_ReplaceFrom1, $a_ReplaceTo1, $v_AppStyleFormatted);
// replace all spaces to empty and replace question marks back to spaces
$a_ReplaceFrom2 = array(" ", "?");
$a_ReplaceTo2 = array("", " ");
$v_AppStyleFormatted = str_replace($a_ReplaceFrom2, $a_ReplaceTo2, $v_AppStyleFormatted);
echo $v_AppStyleFormatted;
Zoho Creator: Retrieve record with case-insensitive query
- Category: Zoho
- Hits: 21268
Thought I'd put an article here to remind me how to make the retrieval of a record case-insensitive.
Why?
Consider that I have the following creator table:
Product_Name Product_SKU -------------- ------------- MyProduct1 TEST01 Myproduct2 TEST02 myproduct3 TEST03
I'm trying to insert a record for a new product if it doesn't exist in the table but if it does exist then to simply skip adding the product.
Zoho Deluge - First Monday of Month or Last Tuesday of Month
- Category: Zoho
- Hits: 18011
An article on setting a date field to either the first Monday of the next month or to the last Tuesday of the current/next month. What I mean by the last Tuesday is if the last Tuesday of the month is before the current date, then set it to the last Tuesday of next month.
Why?
This was a request by a client who instead of specifying the 1st of every month, or 15th of each month, to say the first Monday of the month (ignoring bank holidays) or to say the last Tuesday of the month.
How?
Quite easily. For the first Monday of the month, it is likely that even if today was the first day of the month and coincidentally a Monday, then we would want to specify the field date to be the first Monday of the next month. If however we want the last Tuesday of the month and that Tuesday happens before today, then we want the last Tuesday of the next month.
CSS Center an iFrame Horizontally and Vertically
- Category: Cascading Stylesheets
- Hits: 26535
So this is a quick article to demo how to center an iframe horizontally and vertically in a screen/viewport in pure CSS (no JavaScript allowed). This CSS centers it by its center point rather than the top/bottom/left/right outline.
Why?
On a mobile, a client's site uses an external page embedded by iframe. When the app within the iframe has an alert message, it popups a div at the centre of its app. The alert message is always at the center of the iframe but if the iframe has a height of 2000 pixels, the iframe gets aligned to the top of the parent...
How?
We're going to use a touch of CSS and instead of determining heights and alignment with JS.
Zoho Deluge - Counting in a Map dataType
- Category: Zoho
- Hits: 15996
A quick article on how to count within a map. I didn't have too much difficulty getting this to work and I'm not sure if there are better ways of counting so I'm documenting it to see if I can refine the code or find a some short codes that will do the same.
Why?
I'm aiming to automate a process which counts the number of products allocated to an account or in total for a purchase order. Let us assume we have the following in a form/report called "Stock_Upload":
RowID Name SKU Account Email 0001 Test Product 1 TEST001The code is a for loop which iterates through each row, assigning an entry for a new product or account, and specifying the quantity for each.This email address is being protected from spambots.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 0007 Test Product 1 TEST001This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
How?
So depending on the number of levels, the count will be with a series if then else statements. See the results/yield section to determine which best fits your scenario:
