This is the point.
I've followed the suggest linked here More efficient way to append a list item after some text in Google Docs ,whose very helpfull tom me. But i have the problem mentioned at the bottom.
My placeholder is inside a known table within a google doc.
I've tried several ways to figure it out, but i didn't achieve.
Here below there is the portion of code of interest.
Note:
"CarattCentralGas1" is an array of values;
"DescrizioneCentralGas" is another array of values;
My intent is to insert a list, created if the if condition is true, at the placeholder place and than remove it.
Any ideas would be great!`
for (var i=0; i < CarattCentraleGas1.length; ++i)
{ var ValueToTest = CarattCentraleGas1[i][0];
Logger.log(ValueToTest)
if (ValueToTest ==='Presente')
{ var valueToextract = DescrizioniCentraleGas[i][0];
var search = '%Placeholder%';
var Table1 = body.getTables()[0];
var found = Table1.findText(search);
while (found) {
var elem = found.getElement().getParent().getParent();
var index = Table1.getChildIndex(elem);
Table1.insertListItem(index+1, valueToextract+';');
found = Table1.findText(search, found);}
Logger.log(valueToextract)}
}
var Table1Text = Table1.editAsText().replaceText('%CarattCentrale1%',"");

this is the template document I want to edit with the script.

I have an Apps Script that copies the content of an template-file to the end of a document. It works with one minor annoyance: the numbered list continues from one copy to the next.
I have many different templates that users can append to the end of the document. Each template is stored in its own Document.
function addSub(template_id){
var mainBody = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
var tempBody = DocumentApp.openById(template_id).getBody();
for(var i = 0;i<tempBody .getNumChildren();i++){
var element = tempBody .getChild(i);
if(element.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.TABLE)
mainBody.appendTable(element.copy());
else if(element.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH)
mainBody.appendParagraph(element.copy());
else if(element.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.LIST_ITEM)
mainBody.appendListItem(element.copy());
else if(element.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.PAGE_BREAK)
mainBody.appendPageBreak(element.copy());
}
}
It could look like this: ( I want the list to reset for each new copy of the template)
table with name of this template
some raw text
List item1
List item2
table with name of this template
some raw text
List item1
List item2
Do you now that ListItems have an ID, which is a STRING and you can access it via myListItem.getListId().
It seems that all your ListItems have the same ID.
If this is the case, the numbering has to be as you described.
Why do they have the same ListID?
I don't know.
Seems that the body.appendListem method always chooses the same listId.
I didn't test it yet, but you could try to set the listID of the newly append ListItem to that of the original document, if they are different.
Yes, i know, the .copy() method should enclose this information, but the body.appendListItem method may not care.
So, you could try to first save the detached copy of the listItem.
Then append it to the new body.
And then set the id of the newly appended listItem to that of the detached copy.
It's stupid, i know, but it may help.
Didn't try it yet.
And i have little experience with listItems, bit what i saw up to now is that there seems to be only one ListId in the body of a document, if you append or insert listItems.
This could be the cause of the problem.
Hope this helps.
After Richard Gantz solved it, It was corrected by this code:
var listItemDictionary = {};//top
...
else if(element.getType() == DocumentApp.ElementType.LIST_ITEM){
var listCopy = element.copy().asListItem()
var lcID = listCopy.getListId();
if (listItemDictionary[lcID] == null){
var tempLI = mainBody.appendListItem("temp")
listItemDictionary[lcID] = tempLI;
}
Logger.log(lcID)
mainBody.insertListItem(childIndex+j, listCopy.setListId(listItemDictionary[lcID]));
}
...
if(listItemDictionary){//bottom
mainBody.appendParagraph("");
for(var key in listItemDictionary){
listItemDictionary[key].clear().removeFromParent()
}
}
Based on the answer from Niklas Ternvall/Richard Gantz, I found a simpler solution for the case of each template having no more than one list.
function addSub(template_id) {
var mainBody = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getBody();
var tempBody = DocumentApp.openById(template_id).getBody();
var listID = null;
for(var i = 0;i<tempBody.getNumChildren();i++){
var element = tempBody.getChild(i).copy();
var type = element.getType();
if(type == DocumentApp.ElementType.TABLE)
mainBody.appendTable(element);
else if(type == DocumentApp.ElementType.PARAGRAPH)
mainBody.appendParagraph(element);
else if(type == DocumentApp.ElementType.LIST_ITEM){
if(listID==null) // First list item
listID = mainBody.appendListItem('temp'); // Define new listID
mainBody.appendListItem(element).setListId(listID); // Apply to copy
}
else if(type == DocumentApp.ElementType.PAGE_BREAK)
mainBody.appendPageBreak(element);
}
mainBody.removeChild(listID); // Delete temporary list item
}
Each time you call the function, listID=null is the indicator for whether or not there have been any list items in the template. When you get to the first list item, appending the text 'temp' forces a new list and hence a new listID that you can apply to the list items from the template. After you finish going through the template, mainBody.removeChild(listID) removes 'temp' from the top of your list.
This solution worked for me when using one template 100 times in one document, essentially as a mail merge. I'm fairly new to Apps Script, so I would appreciate any feedback if there is a reason this wouldn't work for a single-list template.
It made more sense in a particular case today to use a standard for (i = 0.. loop rather than a forEach, but I realised I don't know how to access objects of an Ember Array by number.
So lets say we have:
var order = this.get('order');
var orderItems = order.get('orderItems');
orderItems.forEach(function(orderItem) {
orderItem.set('price', 1000);
});
I thought I could do the equivalent as:
var order = this.get('order');
var orderItems = order.get('orderItems');
for (i = 0; i < orderItems.get('length'); i++) {
orderItems[i].set('price', 1000);
}
but I get orderItems[0] is undefined etc.
How do I access the nth element in an ember array in js?
Ember.js Array provides a objectAt method for accessing the nth element, which you can use for iteration.
Your updated code would look like :
var order = this.get('order');
var orderItems = order.get('orderItems');
for (i = 0; i < orderItems.get('length'); i++) {
orderItems.objectAt(i).set('price', 1000);
}
Check out it's documentation here: http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Array.html#method_objectAt
I have taken a bit of script from Serge which is great (original link here. I have added in a second criteria to exclude certain rows and it works great except, if there is not header in the sheet being copied to, it will not work (error: "The coordinates or dimensions of the range are invalid.") and if I enter a header or some other data, it overwrites it. Can anyone assist please? I have also found that is there is no match to the criteria I get following message "TypeError: Cannot read property "length" from undefined."
Also, what change would I need to make to change the cell 'dataSheetLog[i][12]' to the status variable, i.e. "COPIED" after I have copied it across. I have tried writing a setValue line but it is obviously the wrong instruction for that syntax.
Code is:
{
var Spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetLog = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("LOG");
var sheetMaint = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("MAINTENANCE");
var Alast = sheetLog.getLastRow();
var criteria = "08 - Maintenance"
var status = "COPIED"
var dataSheetLog = sheetLog.getRange(2,1,Alast,sheetLog.getLastColumn()).getValues();
var outData = [];
for (var i in dataSheetLog) {
if (dataSheetLog[i][2]==criteria && dataSheetLog[i][12]!=status){
outData.push(dataSheetLog[i]);
}
}
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow(),1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
}
In:
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow(),1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
getLastRow() refers to the last occupied row and should be ,getLastRow() + 1,to keep from overwriting your headers and other problems.
Edited:
{
var Spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheetLog = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("LOG");
var sheetMaint = Spreadsheet.getSheetByName("MAINTENANCE");
var Alast = sheetLog.getLastRow(); // Log
var criteria = "08 - Maintenance"
var status = "COPIED"
var dataSheetLog = sheetLog.getRange(2,1,Alast,sheetLog.getLastColumn()).getValues(); //Log
var dataSheetLogStatusRange = sheetLog.getRange(2,13,Alast,1); //Log
var dataSheetLogStatus = dataSheetLogStatusRange.getValues(); //Log
var outData = [];
for (var i =0; i < dataSheetLog.length; i++) {
if (dataSheetLog[i][2]==criteria && dataSheetLog[i][12]!=status){
outData.push(dataSheetLog[i]);
dataSheetLogStatus[i][0] = "COPIED";
}
}
if(outData.length > 0) {
sheetMaint.getRange(sheetMaint.getLastRow() + 1,1,outData.length,outData[0].length).setValues(outData);
dataSheetLogStatusRange.setValues(dataSheetLogStatus);
}
}
}
what change would I need to make to change the cell
'dataSheetLog[i][12]' to the status variable, i.e. "COPIED" after I
have copied it across.
You were trying to update the value in the array that was extracted from the sheet and not the sheet itself. As arrays are zero based and spreadsheets are not, to translate, +1 must be added to array row and column indices. I am assuming status is in column M of your sheet.
When I have an array of Sitecore IDs, for example TargetIDs from a MultilistField, how can I query the ContentSearchManager to return all the SearchResultItem objects?
I have tried the following which gives an "Only constant arguments is supported." error.
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
rpt.DataSource = s.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>().Where(x => f.TargetIDs.Contains(x.ItemId));
rpt.DataBind();
}
I suppose I could build up the Linq query manually with multiple OR queries. Is there a way I can use Sitecore.ContentSearch.Utilities.LinqHelper to build the query for me?
Assuming I got this technique to work, is it worth using it for only, say, 10 items? I'm just starting my first Sitecore 7 project and I have it in mind that I want to use the index as much as possible.
Finally, does the Page Editor support editing fields somehow with a SearchResultItem as the source?
Update 1
I wrote this function which utilises the predicate builder as dunston suggests. I don't know yet if this is actually worth using (instead of Items).
public static List<T> GetSearchResultItemsByIDs<T>(ID[] ids, bool mustHaveUrl = true)
where T : Sitecore.ContentSearch.SearchTypes.SearchResultItem, new()
{
Assert.IsNotNull(ids, "ids");
if (!ids.Any())
{
return new List<T>();
}
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<T>();
predicate = ids.Aggregate(predicate, (current, id) => current.Or(p => p.ItemId == id));
var results = s.GetQueryable<T>().Where(predicate).ToDictionary(x => x.ItemId);
var query = from id in ids
let item = results.ContainsKey(id) ? results[id] : null
where item != null && (!mustHaveUrl || item.Url != null)
select item;
return query.ToList();
}
}
It forces the results to be in the same order as supplied in the IDs array, which in my case is important. (If anybody knows a better way of doing this, would love to know).
It also, by default, ensures that the Item has a URL.
My main code then becomes:
var f = (Sitecore.Data.Fields.MultilistField) rootItem.Fields["Main navigation links"];
rpt.DataSource = ContentSearchHelper.GetSearchResultItemsByIDs<SearchResultItem>(f.TargetIDs);
rpt.DataBind();
I'm still curious how the Page Editor copes with SearchResultItem or POCOs in general (my second question), am going to continue researching that now.
Thanks for reading,
Steve
You need to use the predicate builder to create multiple OR queries, or AND queries.
The code below should work.
using (var s = Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("sitecore_master_index").CreateSearchContext())
{
var predicate = PredicateBuilder.True<SearchResultItem>();
foreach (var targetId in f.Targetids)
{
var tempTargetId = targetId;
predicate = predicate.Or(x => x.ItemId == tempTargetId)
}
rpt.DataSource = s.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>().Where(predicate);
rpt.DataBind();
}
I'm trying to write out all matches found using a regex with the code below:
var source = "<Content><link><a xlink:href=\"tcm:363-48948\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">Read more</a></link><links xlink:href=\"tcm:362-65596\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\"/></Content>";
var tridionHref = new Regex("tcm:([^\"]*)");
var elem = XElement.Parse(source);
XNamespace xlink = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";
if (tridionHref.IsMatch(elem.ToString()))
{
foreach (var Id in elem.Elements().Where(x => x.Attribute(xlink + "href") != null))
{
Console.WriteLine(Id.Attribute(xlink + "href").Value); //For testing
Id.Attribute(xlink + "href").Value = Id.Attribute(xlink + "href").Value.Replace("value1", "value2"); //Just to show you an example
}
}
My console window outputs tcm:362-65596 but not tcm:363-48948. It looks like the code doesn't see the value of xlink:href inside my <a> tag as an attribute? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to match ALL instances of tcm:([^\"]*).
The problem is you are not looking in the right place. Your elem.Elements is looking at the link element and the links element. Only one of these has the attribute that you are looking for. You'll need to select the elements you want to check more precisely before looking for the right attribute.
I've got it working. I didn't need a regex I just needed to get the Descendants instead inside my for loop. foreach (var Id in elem.Descendants().Where(x => x.Attribute(xlink + "href") != null))
