How to intercept already localized scripts

We can set this variable to an instance of a child class of WP_Scripts: class Filterable_Scripts extends WP_Scripts { function localize( $handle, $object_name, $l10n ) { $l10n = apply_filters( ‘script_l10n’, $l10n, $handle, $object_name ); return parent::localize($handle, $object_name, $l10n); } } add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, function() { $GLOBALS[‘wp_scripts’] … Read more

Encrypt Password in Configuration Files?

A simple way of doing this is to use Password Based Encryption in Java. This allows you to encrypt and decrypt a text by using a password. This basically means initializing a javax.crypto.Cipher with algorithm “AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding” and getting a key from javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory with the “PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512” algorithm. Here is a code example (updated to replace the less secure MD5-based variant): One problem remains: Where … Read more

What is spark.driver.maxResultSize?

assuming that a worker wants to send 4G of data to the driver, then having spark.driver.maxResultSize=1G, will cause the worker to send 4 messages (instead of 1 with unlimited spark.driver.maxResultSize). No. If estimated size of the data is larger than maxResultSize given job will be aborted. The goal here is to protect your application from driver loss, … Read more
