Google Updated Hotel Price Ads Partner Front-End

Google Hotel Finder

There is a newer version of Google Hotel Finder HPA partner front-end available. New version allows partners to view their performance across various dimensions such as user location & google site, to manage groups and bids, and to troubleshoot issues.

What's new in Hotel Pricing Ads PFE?

Group Management

The 'Groups' section provides performance information for all properties or for user­defined groups of properties. One of the advantages of creating groups is that you can track performance for the group. Clicking on the group displays performance information for the group. More details on the performance section is found below.


Performance


The 'overview' tab in the Performance section is a great way to get a high level view of the performance of HPA. At a quick glance, this page displays trends over time, performance by geography and across Google sites. This section allows the user to view overall performance information for a selected date range. The top row of information displays aggregate data for clicks, impressions, CTR, Average CPC and cost.





Bids

Once the group of hotels or individual hotel is selected, the bid can be set by using a combination of the base bid and a set of bid multipliers.



New Partner Dashboard is available here.

Stubbing and Mocking Static Methods with PHPUnit

Image
PHPUnit has ability to stub and mock static methods. Consider the class Foo : <?php class Foo { public static function doSomething() { return static::helper(); } public static function helper() { return 'foo'; } } ?> To test the static helper() function with PHPUnit, you can write you test like that: <?php class FooTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase { public function testDoSomething() { $class = $this->getMockClass( 'Foo', /* name of class to mock */ array('helper') /* list of methods to mock */ ); $class::staticExpects($this->any()) ->method('helper') ->will($this->returnValue('bar')); $this->assertEquals( 'bar', $class::doSomething() ); } } ?> The new staticExpects() method works similar to the non-static expects

MongoDB: Remove an Arbiter From a Replica Set

Image
Removing an arbiter from MongoDB Replica Set can be quite tricky, and official MongoDB documentation does not say it directly how to do it. I assume that you have auth enabled (just like I have), so lets start with connecting to your ReplicaSet "repl" master as an administrator: mongo mongo.domain.com/admin -u admin -p pass You will see the following prompt: repl:PRIMARY> Type in conf=rs.conf() repl:PRIMARY> conf = rs.conf() { "_id" : "repl", "version" : 8, "members" : [ { "_id" : 0, "host" : "mongo.server.com:27017", "priority" : 2 }, { "_id" : 1, "host" : "mongo1.server.com:27017" }, { "_id" : 2, "host" : "arbiter.server.com:27017", "arbiterOnly" : true }, { "_id" : 3, "host" : "mongo2.server.com:27017" } ] } Now lets adjus

Enable HTTP/2 Support in AWS ELB

Image
This thread  was started more than a year ago, asking for when Amazon Web Services will add support for HTTP/2  into their ELB. In addition to that, people are also asking, how to configure ELB to support multiple SSL certificates. AWS support team has been reluctant on giving out any specific details on when both of these features will be available, citing: I've verified that the ELB team is aware of the interest in ELB supporting HTTP/2. Please keep an eye on What's New from Amazon Web Services: http://aws.amazon.com/new/ for any updates. What is HTTP/2? HTTP/2 is a replacement for how HTTP is expressed “on the wire.” It is not a ground-up rewrite of the protocol; HTTP methods, status codes and semantics are the same, and it should be possible to use the same APIs as HTTP/1.x (possibly with some small additions) to represent the protocol. HTTP/2 protocol is supported by major modern browsers including IE11, Edge 13, Firefox 47, Chrome 52, Safari 9.1, Opera 38, i
