Windows 10 Store UWP apps can use StoreContext.RequestRateAndReviewAppAsync function, or simply a URL like this ms-windows-store://review/?ProductId=9WZDNCRFHVJL, to display a user rating window for the app:
I prefer the URL method since I can simply invoke it via ShellExecute method.
But my question is how do I find out if the user had already rated my app, so that I don't display that rating window again?
This is unfortunately not possible, but there is probably a good reason for it - if developers were able to check this programmatically, they could "cheat the system" by giving users who rated some bonuses/perks for reviewing the app.
Currently there is no such api can directly tell if the user already rated the UWP app, but you could use roaming data in your app which keeps your app's app data in sync across multiple devices.
If the user has rated your app, you can set "Yes" in the RoamingSettings, if the value from RoamingSettings is "No", you can display that rating window again. You could determine whether the rating is successful, e.g. in StoreContext.RequestRateAndReviewAppAsync method, the ExtendedJsonData property of the StoreRateAndReviewResult class contains a JSON-formatted string that indicates whether the rating request was successful. By ExtendedJsonData property, you can know if the rating is successful and then set the value to "Yes" in the RoamingSettings.
private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
ApplicationDataContainer RatingSettings = ApplicationData.Current.RoamingSettings;
//initialization
if (RatingSettings.Values["isRated"] == null)
{
RatingSettings.Values["isRated"] = "No";
}
var isRatedStr = RatingSettings.Values["isRated"].ToString();
if (isRatedStr == "No")
{
//display the rate windows
if (//if rated successfully)
{
RatingSettings.Values["isRated"] = "Yes";
}
}
}
Or you can use the Get app ratings and Get app reviews methods in the Store analytics API to programmatically retrieve the ratings and reviews from your customers in JSON format. For more details, you can refer to this document.

I'm using existing Task module under the Project module. I would like to
assign particular task to multiple workers. Meaning that group of people
will together complete the task.
I already have workers as users in my vtigercrm. So if i make a user selection
multiple for assigning single task it could be easier to handle this
use-case.
This use-case already have in Calendar module but i'm unable to understand how they implement.
I have a thorough knowledge on how to create custom user list drop-down in any module and i created lot more for my custom modules. Now stuck with the same scenario having multiple at a time.
I tried like this in module.php, but it is not working.
$users = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Users');
$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('MyModule');
$module->unsetRelatedList($users, 'Users', 'get_related_list');
$module->setRelatedList($users, 'Users', array('SELECT'), 'get_related_list');
Can anyone help me to get it done?
It is possible when you understood the Invite users field in Calender envent creation. Here the field must be multi-selection.
You need to deal with vtiger_salesmanactivityrel table for inserting the multiple users and for showing in detail view.
Here is the code to handle inviteusers.
//Handling for invitees
$selected_users_string = $_REQUEST['inviteesid'];
$invitees_array = explode(';',$selected_users_string);
$this->insertIntoInviteeTable($module,$invitees_array);
function insertIntoInviteeTable($module,$invitees_array)
{
global $log,$adb;
$log->debug("Entering insertIntoInviteeTable(".$module.",".$invitees_array.") method ...");
if($this->mode == 'edit'){
$sql = "delete from vtiger_invitees where activityid=?";
$adb->pquery($sql, array($this->id));
}
foreach($invitees_array as $inviteeid)
{
if($inviteeid != '')
{
$query="insert into vtiger_invitees values(?,?)";
$adb->pquery($query, array($this->id, $inviteeid));
}
}
$log->debug("Exiting insertIntoInviteeTable method ...");
}
Hope it would give you a better idea.
I know that it is possible to enroll users in an engagement plan from with Sitecore by adding them to a specific state in the plan when they visit a campaign URL, adding them when they submit a Web Forms for Marketers Form, and manually adding them in the Supervisor interface.
Additionally, I know that you can use the API to add a user as described here:
http://briancaos.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/programming-for-sitecore-dms-engagement-plans/
However, that method requires a username.
I would like to enroll anonymous users in an engagement plan when they visit any page represented by a particular template in Sitecore (ie, page from the Product template). Is this possible using the API?
To expand on my above comment, and to supplement your own answer, here's a processor that you could add to the after the ItemResolver in the httpRequestBegin pipeline that would achieve the desired result. It is a very basic version that you could embellish as you see fit
class CampaignRedirect
{
public void Process(HttpRequestArgs args)
{
var request = HttpContext.Current.Request;
// must not already have the querystring in the URL
if(request.QueryString["sc_camp"] != null &&
request.QueryString["sc_camp"] != "XXXXXXXX")
return;
// must have a context item
if(Sitecore.Context.Item == null)
return;
var item = Sitecore.Context.Item;
// must be the right template
if(item.TemplateID.ToString() != "{XXXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXX}")
return;
var basicUrl = LinkManager.GetItemUrl(item);
var response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.Redirect(basicUrl + "?sc_camp=XXXXXXX");
}
}
If you're not familiar with adding processors, take a look here.
Per Sitecore support, this is not currently possible. However, I was able to achieve what I wanted by adding a jQuery AJAX call to the campaign URL to the sublayout used by the page type in question. Naturally this only works for clients with JS enabled, but for my purposes, that is not an issue.
<script type="text/javascript">$(function() { $.get('/?sc_camp=[campaignid]'); });</script>

I found a way to do this via the Sitecore API. This is rough and needs to check for null values, exceptions, etc., but it does work:
string cookieVal = Request.Cookies["SC_ANALYTICS_GLOBAL_COOKIE"].Value;
List<Guid> guids = new List<Guid>() {
new Guid(cookieVal)
};
Guid automationStateId = new Guid("{24963AE9-1C8C-4E18-8EEE-01BC249D1F1B}");
Guid automationId = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(new Sitecore.Data.ID(automationStateId)).ParentID.ToGuid();
Sitecore.Analytics.Automation.Data.AutomationManager.Provider.CreateAutomationStatesFromBulk(guids, automationId, automationStateId);
I'm trying to pull a list of connected users in Firebase to simply populate a select dropdown. My problem is that I can't seem to access the child objects properly.
Using connectedUsers.userName (see below code) works but only for my own user data, it doesn't pull anything else.
It seemed to me like changing "myUserRef.on" to "userListRef.on" and using something like "snapshot.child('userName').val()" should work but it just throws undefined. The same goes for "connectedUsers.child.userName", I'm sure I'm missing something simple here.
In the below code by changing to "userListRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot)" I can successfully add and remove user data from Firebase, and log all of the objects to the console and all data looks fine when I drill down the objects. I just need a way to access that data so I can put all connected users into a select dropdown or remove them from it when they disconnect.
var userListRef = new Firebase('https://myaccount.firebaseIO.com/users/');
var myUserRef = userListRef.push();
// ADD USER DATA TO FIREBASE
var userId = $('#myIdInput').val();
var userName = $('#nameInput').val();
myUserRef.push({userId: userId, userName: userName});
// READ USER OBJECTS AND FIRE ADDUSER FUNCTION
myUserRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot) {
var connectedUsers = snapshot.val();
console.log(addUser);
//addUser(connectedUsers.userId, connectedUsers.userName);
});
// ADD USER TO SELECT DROPDOWN
function addUser(userId, userName) {
var modSelect = $('#tsmmodsendto');
modSelect.append($('<option></option>').attr("value", userId).text(userName));
}
// READ USER OBJECTS AND FIRE REMOVEUSER FUNCTION
myUserRef.on('child_removed', function(snapshot) {
var connectedUsers = snapshot.val();
console.log(removeUser);
//removeUser(connectedUsers.userId, connectedUsers.userName);
});
// REMOVE USER TO SELECT DROPDOWN
function removeUser(userId, userName) {
var modSelect = $('#tsmmodsendto');
modSelect.append($('<option></option>').removeAttr("value", userId).text(userName));
}
// ON DISCONNECT REMOVE USER DATA FROM FIREBASE
myUserRef.onDisconnect().remove();
The code you've written won't work properly because each user is writing to:
/users/PUSH_ID/PUSH_ID
And is then listening at:
/users/PUSH_ID
So every client is going to be listening only to its own data and will never see anyone else's data. In order to view other people's data, you need to all be listening / writing to the same path.
In your question you mention you see "undefined" if you change to listening at /users. Could you simplify your code, and use that approach, and perhaps then I can provide a more helpful answer?
Or if I'm not understanding correctly, please simplify and clarify your question.
I installed and configured the Poll Module to work fine. The website I am working on will have a Poll instance on a page either as a left rail or a right rail item. The Polls would be setup in a separate folder. On the page item there will be a multilist field which will point to the Polls folder and the user can select whichever poll they choose to. The folder will also contain different sublayouts which will could be selected to be displayed on the rail. I have some custom code which will look at the above mentioned multilist field and show these rail items.
I don't know how to display a Poll programmatically. I haven't found any code samples and also not sure where to set the sublayout. Should I set it on the Poll template itself and then let use code to display it? How can I achieve this in code? Any code samples would be helpful.
Hoping that you will this time accept the answer, I wrote the following for you (based on the OMS Poll module:
Read out the field on your item:
Sitecore.Data.Fields.ReferenceField selectedPoll = (Sitecore.Data.Fields.ReferenceField)Sitecore.Context.Item.Fields["Poll"];
Get the pollItem:
if (selectedPoll.TargetItem != null)
{
Item pollItem = selectedPoll.TargetItem;
if (pollItem != null)
{
Check if the poll is opened or closed and place:
Sitecore.Data.Fields.CheckboxField pollClosed = (Sitecore.Data.Fields.CheckboxField)pollItem.Fields["Closed"];
if (pollClosed.Checked == false)
{
// Set the header of the snippetBlock
ltPollHeader.Text = pollItem.Name;
PollVotingSublayout pollSublayout = (PollVotingSublayout)LoadControl("/sitecore modules/Shell/Poll Module/Controls/PollVotingSublayout.ascx");
pollSublayout.Attributes.Add("sc_parameters", "PollPath=" + pollItem.Paths.FullPath);
pollSublayout.CurrentPoll = (PollItem)pollItem;
this.pollRegion.Controls.Add(pollSublayout);
phPollSnippet.Visible = true;
int blockPos = 0;
if (snippetField != null)
{
if (snippetField.GetItems().Any())
{
blockPos = 1;
}
}
string cssClass = String.Empty;
if (blockPos == 0)
{
cssClass = "snippetColHomeFirst";
}
this.SetClass("snippetColHome", cssClass);
}
Hope that you can make up something using this snippets. Good luck!
There should be a user account called "poll" on the sitecore domain. This account is normally used internal by the poll. In the comment of this account is stated: "Please do not remove this account". the account should have the Sitecore Minimal Page Editor role. I don't know the poll user credentials, but you might find that by either using reflector or opening cs files that you can get by downloading the source.
I have an application where people can give a phone number and it will send SMS texts to the phone number through EMail-SMS gateways. For this to work however, I need the phone company of the given number so that I send the email to the proper SMS gateway. I've seen some services that allow you to look up this information, but none of them in the form of a web service or database.
For instance, http://tnid.us provides such a service. Example output from my phone number:
Where do they get the "Current Telephone Company" information for each number. Is this freely available information? Is there a database or some sort of web service I can use to get that information for a given cell phone number?
What you need is called a HLR (Home Location Register) number lookup.
In their basic forms such APIs will expect a phone number in international format (example, +15121234567) and will return back their IMSI, which includes their MCC (gives you the country) and MNC (gives you the phone's carrier). The may even include the phone's current carrier (eg to tell if the phone is roaming). It may not work if the phone is currently out of range or turned off. In those cases, depending on the API provider, they may give you a cached result.
The site you mentioned seems to provide such functionality. A web search for "HLR lookup API" will give you plenty more results. I have personal experience with CLX's service and would recommend it.
This would be pretty code intensive, but something you could do right now, on your own, without APIs as long as the tnid.us site is around:
Why not have IE open in a hidden browser window with the URL of the phone number? It looks like the URL would take the format of http://tnid.us/search.php?q=########## where # represents a number. So you need a textbox, a label, and a button. I call the textbox "txtPhoneNumber", the label "lblCarrier", and the button would call the function I have below "OnClick".
The button function creates the IE instance using MSHtml.dll and SHDocVW.dll and does a page scrape of the HTML that is in your browser "object". You then parse it down. You have to first install the Interoperability Assemblies that came with Visual Studio 2005 (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Merge Modules\vs_piaredist.exe). Then:
1> Create a new web project in Visual Studio.NET.
2> Add a reference to SHDocVw.dll and Microsoft.mshtml.
3> In default.aspx.cs, add these lines at the top:
using mshtml;
using SHDocVw;
using System.Threading;
4> Add the following function :
protected void executeMSIE(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SHDocVw.InternetExplorer ie = new SHDocVw.InternetExplorerClass();
object o = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
TextBox txtPhoneNumber = (TextBox)this.Page.FindControl("txtPhoneNumber");
object url = "http://tnid.us/search.php?q=" + txtPhoneNumber.Text);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
if (ie != null) {
ie.Navigate2(ref url,ref o,ref o,ref o,ref o);
ie.Visible = false;
while(ie.Busy){Thread.Sleep(2);}
IHTMLDocument2 d = (IHTMLDocument2) ie.Document;
if (d != null) {
IHTMLElementCollection all = d.all;
string ourText = String.Empty;
foreach (object el in all)
{
//find the text by checking each (string)el.Text
if ((string)el.ToString().Contains("Current Phone Company"))
ourText = (string)el.ToString();
}
// or maybe do something like this instead of the loop above...
// HTMLInputElement searchText = (HTMLInputElement)d.all.item("p", 0);
int idx = 0;
// and do a foreach on searchText to find the right "<p>"...
foreach (string s in searchText) {
if (s.Contains("Current Phone Company") || s.Contains("Original Phone Company")) {
idx = s.IndexOf("<strong>") + 8;
ourText = s.Substring(idx);
idx = ourText.IndexOf('<');
ourText = ourText.Substring(0, idx);
}
}
// ... then decode "ourText"
string[] ourArray = ourText.Split(';');
foreach (string s in ourArray) {
char c = (char)s.Split('#')[1];
sb.Append(c.ToString());
}
// sb.ToString() is now your phone company carrier....
}
}
if (sb != null)
lblCarrier.Text = sb.ToString();
else
lblCarrier.Text = "No MSIE?";
}
For some reason I don't get the "Current Phone Company" when I just use the tnid.us site directly, though, only the Original. So you might want to have the code test what it's getting back, i.e.
bool currentCompanyFound = false;
if (s.Contains("Current Telephone Company")) { currentCompanyFound = true }
I have it checking for either one, above, so you get something back. What the code should do is to find the area of HTML between
<p class="lt">Current Telephone Company:<br /><strong>
and
</strong></p>
I have it looking for the index of
<strong>
and adding on the characters of that word to get to the starting position. I can't remember if you can use strings or only characters for .indexOf. But you get the point and you or someone else can probably find a way to get it working from there.
That text you get back is encoded with char codes, so you'd have to convert those. I gave you some code above that should assist in that... it's untested and completely from my head, but it should work or get you where you're going.
Did you look just slightly farther down on the tnid.us result page?
