How to increase Post Views Counter plugin's views count using the REST API?

I am making an Android app using Rest API and getting data from my WordPress website.
I have implemented a post views functionality on my app and I am using the Post Views Counter plugin on my WordPress website. Now the problem is that when I browse post on desktop the number of post views is increasing but on my Android app when I open a post it doesn’t increase.
Is there any method that I can use in my Android app to increase post view as well?
I have tried this code i found on internet but not working:
add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
register_rest_route( 'base', '/views/(?P<id>\d+)', array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'post_view_counter_function',
));
});
function post_view_counter_function( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
$post_id = $request['id'];
if ( FALSE === get_post_status( $post_id ) ) {
return new WP_Error( 'error_no_post', 'Not a post id', array( 'status' => 404 ) );
} else {
$current_views = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'views', true );
$views = $current_views + 1;
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'views', $views );
return $views;
}
}
please help

window.localStorage.setItem not working on mobile phone

I am working on HTML5 mobile app using jQuery mobile.
This is my code:
$(document).on("click","#send_mobile_number",function(){
var mobile = $('#mobile_number').val();
var user_id = sessionStorage.getItem("user_id");
$('.ui-loader').show();
$.ajax({
url: BASE_URL+'users/send_sms_code.php',
type: 'POST',
datatype: 'json',
data: "user_id="+user_id+"&mobile="+mobile+"&type=1",
async:false,
success: function (response) {
var data = jQuery.parseJSON(response);
$('.ui-loader').hide();
if(data.status == 'Fail') {
$('.very_mob_no_message').html('Sorry some error occurred,try again.');
}else{
$('#close_mob_popup').trigger('click');
setTimeout(function()
{
$('.click_mobile_verify').trigger('click');
}, 500);
$('#send_mobile_verify_span').hide();
$('#after_mobile_send_span').show();
$('#moble_number_div').hide();
$('#user_code_div').show();
$('#user_code').val(data.sms_code);
//alert(window.localStorage.getItem('mobile'));
//sessionStorage.setItem("mobile",mobile);
window.localStorage.setItem("mobile",mobile); // IT IS NOT WORKING
$('.very_mobile_message').html('Enter code which is <br/> sent to your mobile number.');
}
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
//alert(jqXHR.status);
}
});
});
I want to store mobile number in session using window.localStorage.setItem("mobile",mobile);. It is working when I run on my browser but when I runt on mobile phone as APP it stop working. Why this happening. I am checking android phone.

Just use localStorage.mobile = "mobile". It's as simple as that. localStorage is a global object and can be accessed and manipulated as any other object. The only difference with regular objects is that it can store only strings.
You can then retrieve your value using alert( localStorage.mobile ); // will alert "mobile"

So finally found the solution, I need to set webSettings.setDomStorageEnabled(true); on android code and after this localstorage is working perfectlly.

How to login with Google OAuth2 using Angularjs inside Phonegap using ClientID and ClientSecret

I am trying to login from my Phonegap App using Angularjs (using the Ionic Framework) through Google OAuth2. Currently I am using the http://phonegap-tips.com/articles/google-api-oauth-with-phonegaps-inappbrowser.html for logging in. But it is creating really ugly looking code and quite a hard to understand code when I am using Angular-UI-Router for Ionic.
This issue seems to be spiralling around without any proper answers. I hope it should be solved now. The Google Angular Guys should help.
How to implement Google Auth in phonegap?
The closest topic is How to use Google Login API with Cordova/Phonegap, but this is not a solution for angularjs.
I had to transfer the javascript variable values using the following code:
var el = document.getElementById('test');
var scopeTest = angular.element(el).scope();
scopeTest.$apply(function(){
scopeTest.user = user;
scopeTest.logged_in = true;
scopeTest.name = user.name;
scopeTest.email = user.email;
});

I did the solution like this, where TestCtrl is the Controller where the Login Button resides. There is a mix of jquery based $.ajax calls, which I am going to change to the angualar way. The google_call function basically calls the google_api which is mentioned in the link mentioned above in phonegap-tips.
.controller('TestCtrl', function($scope,$ionicPopup) {
$scope.logged_in = false;
$scope.getMember = function(id) {
console.log(id);
};
$scope.test = function(){
$ionicPopup.alert({"title":"Clicked"});
}
$scope.call_google = function(){
googleapi.authorize({
client_id: 'CLIENT_ID',
client_secret: 'CLIENT_SECRET',
redirect_uri: 'http://localhost',
scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email'
}).done(function(data) {
accessToken=data.access_token;
// alert(accessToken);
// $loginStatus.html('Access Token: ' + data.access_token);
console.log(data.access_token);
//$ionicPopup.alert({"title":JSON.stringify(data)});
$scope.getDataProfile();
});
};
$scope.getDataProfile = function(){
var term=null;
// alert("getting user data="+accessToken);
$.ajax({
url:'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json&access_token='+accessToken,
type:'GET',
data:term,
dataType:'json',
error:function(jqXHR,text_status,strError){
},
success:function(data)
{
var item;
console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
// Save the userprofile data in your localStorage.
window.localStorage.gmailLogin="true";
window.localStorage.gmailID=data.id;
window.localStorage.gmailEmail=data.email;
window.localStorage.gmailFirstName=data.given_name;
window.localStorage.gmailLastName=data.family_name;
window.localStorage.gmailProfilePicture=data.picture;
window.localStorage.gmailGender=data.gender;
window.localStorage.gmailName=data.name;
$scope.email = data.email;
$scope.name = data.name;
}
});
//$scope.disconnectUser(); //This call can be done later.
};
$scope.disconnectUser = function() {
var revokeUrl = 'https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/revoke?token='+accessToken;
// Perform an asynchronous GET request.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: revokeUrl,
async: false,
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(nullResponse) {
// Do something now that user is disconnected
// The response is always undefined.
accessToken=null;
console.log(JSON.stringify(nullResponse));
console.log("-----signed out..!!----"+accessToken);
},
error: function(e) {
// Handle the error
// console.log(e);
// You could point users to manually disconnect if unsuccessful
// https://plus.google.com/apps
}
});
};
})
I am providing this answer for the newbies who faced similar problems like mine while trying to login using Google OAuth2. So asking for Upvotes shamelessly as I am new here too!

External administration login script?

I really need your help. I am junior Joomla! developer and also junior Android developer. I am currently building an Android app for Joomla! site administration. So, where do I need help?
I managed without any problems to log in some user to frontend using this code:
// Function for user login
// return : JSON array (login : true/false; user_id : if user is loged in)
public function login() {
$post = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$result = array();
$username = $post->get('username');
$password = $post->get('password');
$credentials = array("username" => $username, "password" => $password);
$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$result['login'] = $app->login($credentials);
if($result['login']) {
$result['user_id'] = JUserHelper::getUserId($username);
}
CJoomDroidHelper::postResult($result);
}
I made component named CJoomDroid which is simple web service with JSON response for every call.
For an example, when I enter:
http://some.joomla.website/index.php?option=com_cjoomdroid&view=authetication&task=login&username=user&password=pass&format=raw
, I manage to log in user to front site panel.
So no problems there, but if I want to log in to administration panel with same user using this code:
// Function for user login
// return : JSON array (login : true/false; user_id : if user is loged in)
public function login() {
$post = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$result = array();
$username = $post->get('username');
$password = $post->get('password');
$credentials = array("username" => $username, "password" => $password);
$app = JFactory::getApplication('admin');
$result['login'] = $app->login($credentials);
if($result['login']) {
$result['user_id'] = JUserHelper::getUserId($username);
}
CJoomDroidHelper::postResult($result);
}
On this link:
http://some.joomla.website/administration/index.php?option=com_cjoomdroid&view=authetication&task=login&username=user&password=pass&format=raw
, I am getting errors. Is there any way to log in to admin panel this way?
Thanks!
Errors are like "Your session has expired; Please log in again.." etc... Android app is making call with: HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(url.toString())); , and response should be JSON object like:
{"login":true}

Automatically logging on Joomla can be very tricky.
You should give a look to this post on google groups.
There is a library named FrameworkOnFramework that enhance the power of Joomla and allows you to automatically login (via CLI or using a simple call) providing a very good protection.

Create/Login User from a mobile device using Symfony2 and FOSUserBundle

Firstly, I want to create a user sending a post-request from my android app to the server, which uses Symfony2 and the FOSUserBundle.
Finally, I want to login a user from the mobile app and then communicate data with the server.
I know how to implement a post-request on the android-device. But I don't know how I need to configure the FOSUserBundle and security.yml etc to fit my needs. Although I might need a _csrf_token or something and I dont know where to get it from.
I already changed the authentication method from form_login to http_basic and think that this will be the easiest way of doing the authentication (using https to secure the passwords).
But now.. what do I need to do, to achieve the creating and logging in actions without forms? What do I need to put in the post-request on the mobile device?
Thanks for any ideas, comments and solutions!!

A late answer, but it might help.
I'm working on a similar situation and I got this:
In security.yml
security:
providers:
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_manager
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
stateless: true
http_basic:
realm: "API"
access_control:
- { path: /, role: ROLE_USER }
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_OWNER: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
In config.yml:
fos_user:
db_driver: orm
firewall_name: main
user_class: <your user class>
In my test-method:
Reference: Authentication for a Symfony2 api (for mobile app use)
public function testAuthentication()
{
$client = $this->createClient();
// not authenticated
$client->request('GET', '<url>');
$this->assertEquals(401, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
// authenticated
$client->request('GET', '<url>', array(), array(), array(
'PHP_AUTH_USER' => '<username from your database>',
'PHP_AUTH_PW' => '<password>'
));
$this->assertEquals(200, $client->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
}
For communication with that API, I'd suggest cURL or Buzz
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Dieter

I had the same problem but I found the solution for registration : (the user enter the username , email and password)
In the UserController of your UserBundle (src/Project/UserBundle/Controller/DefaultController)
define a new function registerAction():
public function registerAction()
{
$user = new User();
$request = $this->getRequest();
$username = $request->request->get('username');
$password= $request->request->get('password');
$email= $request->request->get('email');
$factory = $this->get('security.encoder_factory');
$encoder = $factory->getEncoder($user);
$password = $encoder->encodePassword($password, $user->getSalt());
$user->setPassword($password);
$user->setUsername($username);
$user->setUsernameCanonical($username);
$user->setEmail($email);
$user->setEmailCanonical($email);
$user->setEnabled(true);
$user->setLocked(false);
$user->setExpired(false);
$user->setCredentialsExpired(false);
$em = $this->get('doctrine')->getEntityManager();
$em->persist($user);
$em->flush();
/* $response = new Response(json_encode(array('user' => $tes)));
$response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return $response;*/
return new JsonResponse('good');
}
}
and don't forgot to import :
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Encoder\MessageDigestPasswordEncoder;
use Telifoon\UserBundle\Entity\User;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
in UserBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml add follwoing route:
inscription_post:
pattern: /v1/api/register
defaults: { _controller: ProjectUserBundle:Default:register }
requirements:
_method: POST
My entity ( src/Project/UserBUndle/Entity/User) is :
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
/**
* User
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
// your own logic
}
}
If test the user is added correctely to my database :)
