I'm looking for a way to drag and drop elements in a ListView template within Django, is this possible?
To be more specific, I'm looking for a logged in user (NOT superuser) who has access to only their own content to be able to move their entries around and it saves to the database in that order so the next time they log in it's still in the new order.
If drag and drop isn't possible, some other ideas I have are up/down arrows or a box to manually edit the order number and save it that way.
Any help in figuring this out or pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated! I'm pretty new to Python/Django, so if I didn't give enough info on what I need, let me know and I'll try to explain better!
Thanks.

I'm new to powercenter and the learning curve of this tool seems to be different from the programming languages I'm used to. Where I work everyone tells me to ask people in the office. Access to the internet is non existant. Stack overflow is one of the few places where I can look for info.
I would like to do something basic like, in the navigator window, there are sometimes thousands of mappings with veeeery similar names, I would like to know if there is a way to enable a "control-f" type of functionality. As of right now, placing the mouse on the window and writing the name kinda helps, but since the names are stuff like
k_l_ll_sigpir_proyectname_mappingname
and there are dozens and hundreds that share the same structure: "k_l_ll_sigpir_" trying to navigate when you don't know where info is other than the name is a bit of a nightmare, compared to other tools at least.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
I guess I was able to find something that might help, although this is a bit counter-intuitive. I'm assuming you want to find and open some mapping in Mapping Designer. Here goes:
After you've connected to Repository and have the right folder opened (not just connected!), choose Tools => Queries from the menu bar. A Query Browser should open for you.
Choose New to create a new query
In the Query Editor there's a grid. Choose Object Name in the Parameter Name column. Change the Operator to Contains and put whatever you're looking for as Value 1 (using your example: mappingname)
Click the blue play button on the menu bar or choose Query => Execute from top menu. Give this a few seconds.
Give it a few more seconds...
A Query Results window should be opened for you. NOTE: if you've been clicking anything it might get opened in the background - just check the Designer button on Start Bar. It should contain all the objects that contain mappingname string it the name. We've not limited this to mappings only though (I'll discuss this below).
=== now here's the odd part ===
You can right click any item on the list in Query Results window and choose Open in Workspace. And it won't work :)
Switch back to Query Editor window and close it (don't close the Query Results!). You may save you'r query if you like to.
You should be back at Query Browser. Close it.
Return to Query Results.
Right click the desired item and choose Open in Workspace.
Voila!
Now some remarks:
The whole repository is searched. The Query Results may therefore contain items from other folders, than the one you have open. Trying to Open in Workspace such objects won't work since the folder is not open in Designer.
You may construct more sophisticated queries. Just click 'Add new...' icon on the Query Editor window. This will add a line and allow you to choose extra conditions. It will be spawned by a AND condition which you may change to OR. You get the idea.
PS.
Yes, it's odd, I know. Just don't blame me ;)
The quick answer is that the 'metadata manager' tool can do exactly what you ask for. It is basically a 'google search' for your entire data warehouse. Only hiccup is that it requires a lot of work from the admins of your power center servers to get it up and running...
Alternatives:
Basically it depends on what you want to DO with the mapping after you've found it and why you look for it in the first place:
1) in the 'designer tool' you can look under 'targets' in the right hand tree structure
- when you've found the target table you want the mappings for
- simply right-click and choose 'dependencies'
- in the following dialog uncheck everything except 'mappings'
- in the following right click on the most likely mapping and choose 'open in workspace'
2) in the repository database there is a view called opb_task_inst_run that contains a row for each session that has ever run. You can write simple sql against that view with '%like patterns%' to locate mappings... you may want to add a where clause to 'start time' for the most recent week or so - especially if the repository is old and runtime metadata has never been deleted...
Please write back if you need something different...
I'm not aware of the functionality you're after within informatica, however, the mappings are listed in alphanumeric order which should alleviate this. Within the mapping itself there is search functionality to find transformations within the mapping.

I basically just want to add a slideshow to a current shop. I've never used Tictail before and it was great and very easy to set up (I set it up just so I could learn how it works).
But I can't get my head around this because I can't even get to this menu:
http://help.tictail.com/customer/portal/articles/1206116-change-your-store-s-landing-page
Anyone who can help me into right direction?
This is how it looks like when I enter the settings-screen:
you have to open your dashboard in the top right side then click the arrows if you need HTML otherwise you can change the templates.
good luck
I have a CTreeCtrl and I filled it with content. Now I wanted to add checkboxes but JUST for certain ones. I've found the possibilty to activate checkboxes on the TreeCtrl with m_Tree.ModifyStyle(0, TVS_CHECKBOXES), but this adds a checkbox on each node/child on the whole Ctrl. Is it possible to turn this feature on, but just for certain ones?
All I found is the possibility to add three different pictures, catch the clickevent on a node and change the image. Is there an easier way? Let me know.
Thanks a lot,
jntme
I don't think that CTreeCtrl provide any method to add check boxes at specified node only.
Easiest way to do this is explain in following link.

please go through and let me know if you are facing problem.
You may be able to accomplish what you want with a custom draw tree control. But, you'll need to render the image states yourself. That could get messy because you'll need to account for all of the possible different states.
I have a list of links within a div with a scrollbar. When the user clicks on a link below the x-height of the div, the srollbar automatically goes back to the top. I would like the scrollbar to stay in position no matter what links the user clicks. Here is the site- try clicking on a painting from 2006 and you'll see what I mean.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can make this scrollbar behave?
Thanks,
Brad
It looks like these links are just that, links to a new page... and thus it's not so much that the scrollbar is resetting but that a whole brand new page is coming up and the 'reset' scrollbar is just a byproduct.
The most elegant way would be to have those links pull in the new content without reloading the page, but this requires AJAX. If you aren't familiar with the intricacies of AJAX and how to implement that, then you could change the link to include an anchor to the link, like so:
http://siddharthparasnis.com/2006-01/#menu-item-377
The page would reload scrolled down to that item.
How can I create a List View (or List Ctrl) with paging ?
that means that whenever there are too many items in the List Ctrl, those items are organised in different pages.
hope u get wht i mean.
It would be better if there is already such control built (for example in Codeproject).
thanks.
Are you sure you need paging? If you're trying to solve the problem of loading many items taking too long, the best answer is Owner Data. This allows you to provide data on the fly only for the displayed items. It works great.
