All quiz answers should be quite short (no setup or output, many assumptions)

  1. In IE with JavaScript get an xml object (as sent from the server) from an iframe
  2. Dynamically call a java Class and method from within java
  3. List the values of a column that have a 2nd column who's value is not in any other row with SQL
  4. From a POISX CLI in one line individually compress all iso files in all sub directories using no loops and with the date inserted into the filenames
  5. Output a Git histoy from the beginning of the year in the format "graph tab date tab message"

For each question:

1 point for doing something logical
1 point for understanding/answering the question asked
1 point for getting a working answer
1 bonus point for being concise or explaining why the question/answer is useful

If your server has more than one (non lo) IP you will need to bind Noodle to one of them for the license key to work.
Add the address to the connection In server.xml

Restart the service for changes to take effect.

•

Clearing the DNS cache on your computer:
windows:

ipconfig /flushdns

OS X:

dscacheutil -flushcache

linux:

/etc/init.d/nscd restart

You can't clear the cache on your ISPs DNS servers but you can use different servers (opendns, googledns, etc)

Noodle works with PostgreSQL and uses the contributions which are included in the windows installer but installed separately with package management systems like apt and yum.

before PGSQL-v9 will need:

CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;

All versions need a user, database and rights and the following to load the lo-manage triggers (the Noodle installer for Windows will do this for you):

ALTER USER noodleuser WITH SUPERUSER;

You will need these SQLs if you are upgrading from an old version.

Noodle uses 4 things on the server

  1. The Noodle folder (older versions are named IntraNet)
  2. The database folders (can be on a different server)
  3. The Java Folder
  4. Optional tools; ffmpeg, anything used by custom search filters, etc

On Windows the Noodle folder is in %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% by default.

On Linux the Noodle folder is in /opt/ by default.

Among other things the Noodle folder contains the following of potential interest:

  1. conf/server.xml (connection settings)
  2. conf/noodle.properties (application settings)
  3. logs
  4. optional files like MOTD.html/custom.js/noodle.jks

You need custom scripts enabled.

var doc=top.noodle.headWindow().document;
var el=doc.getElementById("helpLink");
el.style.fontSize="";
el=doc.getElementById("feedback");
el.style.fontSize="";
el=doc.getElementById("logout");
el.style.fontSize="";
el=doc.getElementById("logout").parentNode.parentNode;
el.style.fontSize="14px";

function HideFrames(){
this.hide=function(){
	this.navFrameSize=top.document.getElementById("lowerBody").cols;
	top.document.getElementById("lowerBody").cols="0,*";
	this.headFrameSize=top.document.getElementById("body").rows;
	top.document.getElementById("body").rows="0,0,*";
};
this.show=function(){
	top.document.getElementById("lowerBody").cols=this.navFrameSize;
	top.document.getElementById("body").rows=this.headFrameSize;
};
this.init=function(){
	var doc=top.noodle.headWindow().document;
	var cDiv=doc.getElementById("helpLink").parentNode.parentNode;
	var el = doc.createElement('a');
	el.innerHTML="hideFrames";
	el.href="#";
	el.className="whitelinks";
	top.noodle.cbc.addEventListener(el,"click",this.hide);
	cDiv.appendChild(el);
};
}
if(!top.noodle.hideFrames){
	top.noodle.hideFrames=new HideFrames();
	top.noodle.hideFrames.init();
}
