Set signature in outlook e-mail body C++ - c++

I have a little problem with my outlook interface.
I'm using <outlook\msoutl.tlh> to create and fill an e-mail item automatically.
But now I want to display my signature too.
I noticed that if I don't set the mail body, the signature is added automatically. But as soon as I want to set the mail body, the signature is not shown. It seems that it will be overwritten. So I tried the following :
string standardText = "Hello Outlook"
string signature = IMailItemPtr->Body;
IMailItemPtr->Body = standardText + signature
So first the signature has to be cached and then appended to the standard text for the body.
But here I noticed that the body is empty until set (which is logical).
But now I wonder where my signature is stored and how I can get it?
Here is the important part of my code:
string standardText = "Hello Outlook"
Outlook::_ApplicationPtr spOutlook(__uuidof(Outlook::Application));
// Get the MAPI namespace
Outlook::_NameSpacePtr pMAPI = spOutlook->GetNamespace("MAPI");
// Initiate a new Outlook-session
pMAPI->Logon("", "", false, true); // Log on by using the default profile or existing session (no dialog box).
// Query the MailItem interface
Outlook::_MailItemPtr IMailItemPtr = spOutlook->CreateItem(Outlook::olMailItem);
IMailItemPtr->Subject = mailSubject;
IMailItemPtr->Body = standardText.c_str();

Epicor ERP can you call an Epicor Function within a Customization

Epicor ERP 10.2.500 has been recently released with the addition of Epicor Functions. They can be called from within Method and Data Directives.
Do anybody has been able to do so with a Form Customization within Epicor?
This is possible via a REST call to your function API. In this case, I had a function that sent an email from some inputs.
private void epiButtonC1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
{
//API Key is included in the query param in this example.
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://{appserver}/{EpicorInstance}/api/v2/efx/{CompanyID}/{LibraryID}/{functionName}/?api-key={yourAPIKey}");
request.Method = "POST";
//All REST v2 requests also sent with authentication method (Token, Basic)
//This should be Base64 encoded
string username = "userName";
string password = "passWord";
string encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1").GetBytes(username + ":" + password));
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
//Add body to correspond to request signature
request.ContentType = "application/json";
using(var writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream()))
 {
    var values = new Dictionary<string, string>;
      {
        {"toEmailAddress", "someEmail#email.com"},
        {"fromEmailAddress","someOtherEmail#email.com"}, 
        {"body","This is the body"},   
{"subject","Hello from Client Code!"}
    };
    string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(values);
    writer.Write(json);
}
using (var response = request.GetResponse()) 
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
{
  var result = reader.ReadToEnd();
  epiTextBoxC1.Text = result.ToString();
}
}
Haven't done it myself personally, but looking into the first post release notes about it here leads me to believe there is no out of the box solution, yet in this version/initial release.
However I'm sure you could do a HTTP request from within the Epicor customization if you have the REST API enabled in your environment.
If you create your own dll that calls the EpicorFunction you can use it within the customization. Still looking for a way to call them directly.
REST endpoint is the recommended way to perform the function call as pointed out by a-moreng.
If for some reason you cannot use this, you can use a passthrough method to any server-side BO via a customization Adapter. For instance, create an updatable BAQ which you can call from a customization using the DynamicQueryAdapter.
Pick an arbitrary table and field to save the BAQ.
Create three string parameters to store the Function library name, the function name, and a delimited list of parameters.
On the GetList method, create a Base Processing Directive.
Split your delimited parameter list and convert them to the appropriate datatypes.
Use the resulting variables to call your function.
If desired, you can pass return variables into the ttResults of the BAQ

GetHostedProfilePage not honouring hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions setting

I've been trying to update our API call to the CIM interface for Authorize.net to hide the Billing Address fields on the hosted profile page.
The documentation states that when call the token creation function, passing in a setting "hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions" with a value of "showNone" will hide the billing address part of the form, however when I pass in this setting I am still getting the billing address showing.
I've verified that I'm passing the setting correctly (added the same way as the "hostedProfileIFrameCommunicatorUrl" and "hostedProfilePageBorderVisible" settings) and if I pass an invalid value for the "hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions" option, the Token creation function will return an error
Is there something else that this option is dependent on, such as an account setting or another settings parameter?
For reference, I'm testing this in the Sandbox system and I'm using the dotNet SDK, my test code for calling the API function is as follows
Public Shared Function CreateHostFormToken(apiId As String, apiKey As String, branchId As Int64, nUser As Contact, iframeComURL As String) As String
Dim nCustProfile = GetCustomerProfile(apiId, apiKey, branchId, nUser)
Dim nHost = New AuthorizeNet.Api.Contracts.V1.getHostedProfilePageRequest()
nHost.customerProfileId = nCustProfile
' Set Auth
Dim nAuth = New Api.Contracts.V1.merchantAuthenticationType()
nAuth.ItemElementName = Api.Contracts.V1.ItemChoiceType.transactionKey
nAuth.name = apiId
nAuth.Item = apiKey
nHost.merchantAuthentication = nAuth
' Set Params
Dim settingList As New List(Of Api.Contracts.V1.settingType)
Dim nParam As New Api.Contracts.V1.settingType With {.settingName = "hostedProfileIFrameCommunicatorUrl",
.settingValue = iframeComURL}
settingList.Add(nParam)
nParam = New Api.Contracts.V1.settingType With {.settingName = "hostedProfilePageBorderVisible",
.settingValue = "false"}
settingList.Add(nParam)
nParam = New Api.Contracts.V1.settingType With {.settingName = "hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions",
.settingValue = "showNone"}
settingList.Add(nParam)
nHost.hostedProfileSettings = settingList.ToArray
Dim nX = New AuthorizeNet.Api.Controllers.getHostedProfilePageController(nHost)
Dim nRes = nX.ExecuteWithApiResponse(GetEnvironment())
Return nRes.token
End Function
I've looked through the SDK code as well, and I don't see anything there that would be preventing the setting from being passed through.
Has anyone come across this issue, or successfully set the card entry form to hide the billing address?
There turned out to be two parts to the solution to this problem:
In order to use the "hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions" option, you need to use a newer version of the capture page than I was using. I was using "https://secure2.authorize.net/profile/", while the new version is "https://secure2.authorize.net/customer/". Added bonus, the new URL provides a much nicer and modern looking form.
However, once this was working, I then had the problem that on entering the card, a validation message told me that "address and Zip code are required", despite not being visible. I did also make sure that I had the option "hostedProfileBillingAddressRequired" set to false (which is it's default value anyway)
The response from Authorize.net support is that in order to capture card without an address, the option "hostedProfileValidationMode" must be set to "testMode".
This is not mentioned in the documentation (at least as far as I could see), so may not be something that other people are aware of since it is a little counter-intuitive to use 'testMode' on a live environment.
It's not ideal since validating the card for a customer account will send a transaction email to the merchant, but it seems there is not another way around this just now.
In summary, to allow the customer to add a credit card to their profile without having to provide an address, you need to specify the following options:
Form URL for capture - https://secure2.authorize.net/customer/
getHostedProfilePageRequest -
hostedProfileIFrameCommunicatorUrl: *your URL*
hostedProfilePageBorderVisible: false //assuming you are using an iFrame
hostedProfileValidationMode: testMode
hostedProfileBillingAddressOptions: showNone

Add cookie for Xdebug in Paw

I debug my API using Xdebug and PHPStorm's debugging features. For this to work, the client needs a cookie named XDEBUG_SESSION.
When using Postman, I used to use a Chrome extension to add this cookie, and Postman's cookie interception feature to get this to work in Postman (since it's a sandboxed app).
However, I cannot create cookies in Paw. So, as a workaround, I modified the API response cookie to have the key as XDEBUG_SESSION and value as PHPSTORM, and debugging worked fine. However, this is not ideal as I would also like to set the expiry date to something far in the future (which I can't in Paw).
So, my questions are:
Is there a way to add custom cookies in Paw?
If not, is there a way to to edit the expiry date for an existing cookie (considering that name, value, domain and path are editable)?
Are there any other alternatives to achieve my objective?
I just managed to achieve this exact thing to debug my APIs with Paw (2.1.1).
You just have to Add a Header with the name Cookie and a value of Cookies picked from the dropdown that will appear. You then have to insert a Cookie named XDEBUG_SESSION with a value of PHPSTORM inside the Cookies value of the header just created.
To be more clear, you can see it in the screenshot below:
I messed around with it to see if I could create an extension. I wasn't able to, and the below does not work but thought I'd share in case anyone knows the missing pieces.
First off, there is no extension category (generator, dynamic value, importer) that this functionality falls into. I tried to make use of the dynamic value category but was unsuccessful:
CookieInjector = function(key, value) {
this.key = "XDEBUG_SESSION";
this.value = "PHPSTORM";
this.evaluate = function () {
var f = function (x,y) {
document.cookie=this.key+"="+this.value;
return true;
}
return f(this.key, this.value);
}
// Title function: takes no params, should return the string to display as
// the Dynamic Value title
this.title = function() {
return "Cookie"
}
// Text function: takes no params, should return the string to display as
// the Dynamic Value text
this.text = function() {
return this.key+"="+this.value;
}
}
// Extension Identifier (as a reverse domain name)
CookieInjector.identifier = "com.luckymarmot.PawExtensions.CookieInjector";
// Extension Name
CookieInjector.title = "Inject Cookie Into Cookie Jar";
// Dynamic Value Inputs
CookieInjector.inputs = [
DynamicValueInput("key", "Key", "String"),
DynamicValueInput("value", "Value", "String")
]
// Register this new Extension
registerDynamicValueClass(CookieInjector);
The main thing stopping this from working is I'm not sure how the request is built in PAW and not sure how to attach the cookie. I've looked through the documentation here: https://luckymarmot.com/paw/doc/Extensions/Reference/Reference, and can't find what I need.

facebookclient.post() or .posttaskasync() with .net sdk returns invalid parameter when trying to post a link

I've had this working in a previous version of my application and I tried using the old code, but I think the new sdk has something different going on. I'm simply trying to post a link (that includes an image) to my wall and receiving an "Invalid Parameter" response.
Here is the relevant code (I've also tried PostTaskAsync()...same result):
var client = new FacebookClient(accessToken);
var postParams = new
{
name = "the name",
caption = "the caption",
description = "the description",
link = "http://www.example.com/",
picture = "http://www.example.com/uploadedimages/myimage.jpg"
};
client.Post("me/feed", postParams);
I've tried substituting the object with a Dictionary with the same result. I've tried substituting object with dynamic parameters = new ExpandoObject(); with the same result.
If I post the object with just { message = "this is a test message" } it posts fine so I know that I have permissions to post on my wall. Something just isn't jiving when I try to post the link with the image. I also tried urlencoding the link and the image url and received a different error indicating that the "link/picture URL is not properly formatted".
I stripped out all of the parameters thinking one of them was no longer supported, but still no dice.
Here is the exact exception being thrown:
Facebook.FacebookApiException: (FacebookApiException - #100) Invalid
parameter at Facebook.FacebookClient.ProcessResponse(HttpHelper
httpHelper, String responseString, Type resultType, Boolean
containsEtag, IList`1 batchEtags) at
Facebook.FacebookClient.Api(HttpMethod httpMethod, String path, Object
parameters, Type resultType) at Facebook.FacebookClient.Post(String
path, Object parameters)
I got this sorted out. It turns out the link and the image url have to be in the same domain as the app you're using to post.
EDIT: just to clarify. The domain has to be included in your app's config section (on Facebook) in the "App domains" section at the top.

MAPI, HrQueryAllRows: Filter messages on subject

I'm pretty much new to MAPI and haven't wrote much C++ Code.
Basically I want to read all emails in the inbox and filter them based on their subject text. So far I'm using the source code provided at the microsoft msdn website which basically reads all emails from the inbox. What I want now is to not get all emails but filter them on the subject, lets say: I want all emails in my Inbox with the subject title "test".
So far I figuered out that the following line of code retrieves all the mails:
hRes = HrQueryAllRows(lpContentsTable, (LPSPropTagArray) &sptCols, &sres, NULL, 0, &pRows);
The parameter &sres is from the type SRestriction.
I tried to implement a filter on 'test' in the subject:
sres.rt = RES_CONTENT;
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
sres.res.resContent.lpProp = &SvcProps;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.Value.lpszA = "test";
ScvProps is from the type SPropValue.
If i execute the application then I get 0 lines returned. If I change the String test to an empty String then I get all emails.
I'm assuming i'm using the "filter" option wrong, any ideas?
Edit: When I change the FuzzyLevel to:
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
then I can look for subjects that contain a single character but as soon as I add a second character I get 0 rows as result. I'm pretty sure this is just some c++ stuff that I don't understand that causes all this problems ...
I figured the problem out.
Replacing
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
with
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
fixed the problem.
