I have created a vanilla sitecore 8.1 MVC instance and trying to get home item by displayname using fast query but getting null value:
Do I need to do any configuration settings in web.config.I am passing "Home" in this function.
I have set useDisplayName="true" attribute in <LinkManager> element in Sitecore.config file also.
Thanks
You may need to query the field by its name with a lowercase "n":
fast:/sitecore/content//*[#__Display name='{0}']
I was trying to pass where condition values onto a database view.
View was created in init method of class defined.
Input to where clause was taken from a popped up wizard.
Issue is that the wizard form values are inserted into model bound database table.
This is happening on all submits.
Currently I am reading the latest record from table on wizard input.
And the view definition is modified to generate result set based on latest input record from wizard table.
select v.col1, v.expre2
from view_name v,
( select fld1, fld2 from wizrd_tbl_1 order by id desc limit 1 ) as w
where
v.colM between w.fld1 and w.fld2
Currently I am following the above sequence of steps and results are fetched.
But I think, this would fail if at least two users are using the same wizard concurrently.
How can I change my approach, so that
1. Wizard input is not sent to database table,
2. The inputs are sent to a where clause dynamically and the result set is bound to a List View
As a summary, I was trying to:
Creates a database view joining multiple table.
Take user input ( and saves in db table, which is not expected and
not required ).
Pass the user input to db view's where clause. ( Any alternative to wizard ? )
Bind the result set to List View
It is definitely a bad idea to morph a database view based on user input, when that view is likely to be accessed by multiple users.
The 'correct' way to do this would be to have a static database view which contains all possible records from the joined tables, and then filter that data for individual users by generating a "domain" and redirecting the user to a tree view with that domain applied.
You can redirect the user by creating a <button type="object"> which calls a function such as the below:
def action_get_results(self, cr, uid, ids, context={}):
# Redirect user to results
my_domain = ['&', ('col1','=','testval'), ('col2','>',33)]
return {
'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
'name': 'Search Results',
'view_mode': 'tree',
'res_model': 'your.osv_memory.model.name',
'target': 'new', # or 'current'
'context': context,
'domain': my_domain,
}
I follow the guide to create:
1. a action of sonata admin http://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/master/doc/cookbook/recipe_custom_action.html
2. a batch ax http://sonata-project.org/bundles/admin/master/doc/reference/batch_actions.html
In my action I want to change 1 field of the entity from true to false or via versa. For examble : the field enable. How can I update change to the database
I solve the a single action
However, with batch action when I load data from database with the code
$target = $modelManager->find($this->admin->getClass(), $request->get('idx'));
Sonata raise a notice "ModelManager ->find ('C4C\PlatformBundle\Entity\Member', array('1', '2', '3')) ". The reason is that Model Manage can not find an objec by an array.
How can I get all the objects from database based on an array
In my code I've something like this (I'm using Django 1.6):
class CategoryAdmin(CategoryBaseAdmin):
[...]
list_per_page = 50
[...]
But I want to give users the possibility to switch the table for displaying all rows...
Something like a button (or a link) in the pagination bar... Is it possible?
Django 1.6 has an inbuilt thing called ModelAdmin.list_max_show_all set this value greater than the value that you're expecting would be the total number of resultset returned and the 'Show All' (appears in the form link) at bottom of page(area where you can switch pages).
Here's the link to django where you can find the explanation. Go ahead and add it to your class in admin.py.
Example :
class foo(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ['feild1', 'feild2']
ordering = ['feild1']
list_max_show_all = n
actions = ('action1', 'action2')
where n is your value (should be greater than the expaected number of resultset). And it should work. Hope that you're fine with the 'Show all' appearing as link.
In WFFM there is an option so that, when someone abandons the form, any data that was entered in the form itself is recorded and should be accessible via the Dropout Report.
I have a WFFM for which I have turned on Analytics and turned on the dropout feature. Unfortunately I don't see any data being recorded in the DB and the Dropout Report is visible, but empty.
I see from the javascript code included in the WFFM folder that a series of AJAX calls are supposed to save the fields on blur events -- with calls to /sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx
I tried debugging the Javascript code, but the method supposed to post the info to /sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx is never being called. Can you think of any reasons for this code not to work? Also, does anyone know which table this information is supposed to be recorded? Is it the fields table in the WFFM DB?
Finally, even though I have turned on analytics on this particular WFFM form and I have associated a campaign and a goal to the submission of the form, none of these is being recorded. I see that the data entered in the form is stored successfully and is displaying in the Data Report, but no info about the Campaign nor the Goal are recorded in the DB.
I even checked manually directly in the DMS DB running:
select top 10
p.DateTime, p.UrlText, cp.CampaignName
,i.Url, vi.VisitId
from pages p
inner join ItemUrls i on p.ItemId = i.ItemId
inner join Visits vi on vi.VisitId = p.VisitId
inner join GeoIps g on vi.Ip = g.Ip
left join Campaigns cp on cp.CampaignId = vi.CampaignId
order by p.DateTime desc
This one shows that the page where the form is rendered is being hit, but no campaign is associated to the visit.
Then I tried the following:
select pe.datetime, ped.Name, pg.UrlText from PageEvents pe
inner join PageEventDefinitions ped on ped.PageEventDefinitionId = pe.PageEventDefinitionId
inner join Pages pg on pg.PageId = pe.PageId
order by pe.DateTime desc
But I don't see any entry for this particular campaign nor for the goal (while I see entries for other campaigns and goals associated to non-WFFM Sitecore items)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Francesco
EDIT
The sc.webform.js file contains this method:
_create: function () {
var self = this,
options = this.options;
if (options.tracking) {
this.element.find("input[type!='submit'], select, textarea")
.bind('focus', function (e) { self.onFocusField(e, this) })
.bind('blur change', function (e) { self.onBlurField(e, this) });
this.element.find("select")
.change(function () { $scw.webform.controls.updateAnalyticsListValue(this) });
this.element.find("input[type='checkbox'], input[type='radio']")
.click(function () { $scw.webform.controls.updateAnalyticsListValue(this) });
}
this.element.find(".scfDatePickerTextBox").each(function () { $scw.webform.controls.datePicker(this) });
},
This is supposed to be called by the form on sc.webform widget initialization. It should bind the focus and blur change events for all input fields, drop downs and text areas. Unfortunately, when I tried to put a break point inside this method, it never gets called.
SECOND EDIT
Interesting. I figured out that the whole thing should start from this line of Javascript code embedded in the page that contains the WFFM form:
<script type="text/javascript">
$scwhead.ready(function() {
$scw('#form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F').webform({formId: "{A8BF4834-1917-4F97-A283-0E12CBCF7E4F}",pageId: "{21C24144-B964-4FBA-8388-D9B90EBBC17C}",eventCountId: "pagecolumns_0_columncontent_0_bottomrow_0_form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F_form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F_eventcount",tracking: true})
});
</script>
Once I put a break point here, I was finally able to trace into the _create method of the jQuery.UI widget defined in sc.webform.js. The code that calls _create is actually inside the jQuery.UI library. Kinda makes sense, right?
Finally, the code inside _create is executed, the blur events are bound to the TrackEvents method, also defined within the widget:
_trackEvents: function(events) {
$scw.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx" + location.search,
data: {track: JSON.stringify(events)},
dataType: 'json'
});
What doesn't make sense is that now, even though I can finally see trackEvents being called whenever I tab from field to field in the WFFM form (why wasn't working before it's a mistery to me), I don't see any data recorded in the WFFM DB. I even tried a quick query in the DB:
select f.Timestamp, f.StorageName, fi.Value, fi.FieldName
from Form f
inner join Field fi on f.Id = fi.FormId
order by f.Timestamp desc, FieldName
Does anybody know where is Tracking.aspx supposed to save the captured field informations?
This may be silly to ask, but did you configure the data source correctly for your WFFM? I mean, obviously, you're using WFFM..but is it set to use SQL or is it using the "file" that WFFM uses by default as it's database.
like this to use SQL:
<!-- MSSQL-->
<formsDataProvider type="Sitecore.Forms.Data.DataProviders.WFMDataProvider,Sitecore.Forms.Core">
<param desc="connection string">Database=Sitecore_WebForms;Data Source=xxx;user id=xxx;password=xxx;Connect Timeout=30</param>
</formsDataProvider>
<!-- SQLite -->
<!--<formsDataProvider type="Sitecore.Forms.Data.DataProviders.SQLite.SQLiteWFMDataProvider,Sitecore.Forms.Core">
<param desc="connection string">Data Source=/data/sitecore_webforms.db;version=3;BinaryGUID=true</param>
</formsDataProvider>-->
If you don't configure that correctly, I'm wondering if somehow data is being recorded in one place but not another? Also, another question I have is to ask if this is a dev environment, are you running webforms in live mode? It just seems to me like this is a configuration issue.
We are experiencing the exact same problem on 6.5 update 6 and WFFM 2.3.3 rev. 111209. We can see the asynchronous calls to the server including the probably well formed json object containing the correct event.
Example:
track:[{"fieldId":"{E0A0BCDD-85E1-4D8D-9E76-5ABD240423C9}","type":"Field Completed","value":"test","formId":"{0F3B57C1-1B6A-43B9-A5A6-2E958C168B31}","pageId":"{025AFF68-62B9-42CE-B49F-0C36311E1976}","ticks":16}]
We don't see any of the dropouts arrive in the database, though...
Have you made sure your campaigns and goals have been deployed? If you have switched databases they may not be. To redeploy do this:
For each Goal in System -> Marketing Center -> Goals
Change the workflow state to draft
Save
Then in the review ribbon click deploy.
This will create an entry in the pageeventdefinition table and allow
you to query.
Don't forget to do the same for campaigns.
