I have created a custom ribbon button following the steps mentioned in http://jondjones.com/how-to-add-a-custom-sitecore-button-to-the-editor-ribbon/
I can see the button appearing in sitecore:
Custom button
Command does not get triggered when clicked on the button.
Below is my code:
using System;
using Sitecore.Shell.Applications.Dialogs.ProgressBoxes;
using Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands;
namespace SitecoreVsPoc.Commands
{
public class TranslateContent : Command
{
private static readonly object Monitor = new object();
public override void Execute(CommandContext context)
{
if (context == null)
return;
try
{
ProgressBox.Execute("Arjun", "Title", "Applications/32x32/refresh.png", Refresh);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Sitecore.Diagnostics.Log.Error("Error!", ex, this);
}
}
public void Refresh(params object[] parameters)
{
// Do Stuff
}
}
}
Below is the command I have registered in commands.config:
<command name="contenteditor:translatecontent" type="SitecoreVsPoc.Commands.TranslateContent,SitecoreVsPoc" />
Note: I am using Sitecore 8.2 initial release.
Can someone suggest a solution for this?
In Sitecore 8 it was changed the way you add Ribbon button. As far I see your link is from Sitecore 7 or 6.
To create the new button item for the Experience Editor ribbon:
In the Core database, open the Content Editor and navigate to /sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Ribbons/WebEdit/Page Editor/Edit.
Create a new item based on the relevant ribbon control template, for example, the Small Button template. The templates are located at /sitecore/templates/System/Ribbon/.
For the new item, add the following information:
In the Header field, enter the display name of the button.
In the ID field, enter a unique identifier for the item. For example, you can include the ribbon group name in the ID.
In the Icon field, enter the path to the relevant icon. Depending on the button you create, adjust the icon size accordingly.
Open Sitecore Rocks and add the relevant control rendering, for example SmallButton, to the layout of the button item you created.
Enter a unique ID for the rendering.
For other SPEAK controls, you can point to another item in the Data Source field and specify the configuration in this other item.

I'm using Acumatica customization Acumatica-LotSerialNbrAttribute
This customization adds a new screen for look for InventoryID and LotSerialNbr and visualize its attributes.
I'm trying to add this window to the acumatica mobile app.
Here my code:
add screen IN202501 {
add container "InventoryLotSerialContainers" {
add field "InventoryID"
add field "LotSerialNbr"
add group "Attributes" {
displayName = "Attributes"
collapsable = True
add attributes "AttributesAttributes"
}
add recordAction "Save" {
behavior = Save
}
add recordAction "Cancel" {
behavior = Cancel
}
attachments {
}
}
}
And the screen is visible on the mobile app with the 2 selectors
Then I select Inventory and when I select Lot Serial Nbr, the first selector is in blank, causing that I can't review the attributtes neither save the information.
Here the InventoryID selector in blank.
Hope you can help me to successfully publish this screen on acumatica mobile app.
Thanks.
Attributes are a grid style representation in Acumatica. That means you need a container that will show multiple records. I'm getting rusty on mobile pretty quickly, but I believe your definition is set to display a single value value only.
Try adding a separate container for attributes:
add container "AttributesAttributes" {
add field "Attribute"
add field "Value"
}
This should open into a view of multiple records, showing all of your attributes. By specifying the Attribute and Value fields, you should see both data elements in the container.
I'm trying to customize a page so that the edit button (the pencil icon one) directs the user to a specific page. In my case, the edit button is linked to a BAccountID field :
By default, it opens the Business Account's page (page CR303000):
I would like it to open a different page that I created that has a similar BAccount view (page AR303001) :
Can this be done ? And how ? I can't seem to find the code behind this logic.
The target graph is declared in the PXPrimaryGraph attribute decorating the DAC.
BAccount DAC is a special case that uses a more complex attribute (CRCacheIndependentPrimaryGraphList) that inherits from PXPrimaryGraph.
[CRCacheIndependentPrimaryGraphList(new Type[]{
typeof(CR.BusinessAccountMaint),
typeof(EP.EmployeeMaint),
typeof(AP.VendorMaint),
typeof(AP.VendorMaint),
typeof(AR.CustomerMaint),
typeof(AR.CustomerMaint),
typeof(AP.VendorMaint),
typeof(AR.CustomerMaint),
typeof(CR.BusinessAccountMaint)},
new Type[]{
typeof(Select<CR.BAccount, Where<CR.BAccount.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>,
And<Current<BAccount.viewInCrm>, Equal<True>>>>),
typeof(Select<EP.EPEmployee, Where<EP.EPEmployee.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>>>),
typeof(Select<AP.VendorR, Where<AP.VendorR.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>>>),
typeof(Select<AP.Vendor, Where<AP.Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccountR.bAccountID>>>>),
typeof(Select<AR.Customer, Where<AR.Customer.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>>>),
typeof(Select<AR.Customer, Where<AR.Customer.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccountR.bAccountID>>>>),
typeof(Where<CR.BAccountR.bAccountID, Less<Zero>,
And<BAccountR.type, Equal<BAccountType.vendorType>>>),
typeof(Where<CR.BAccountR.bAccountID, Less<Zero>,
And<BAccountR.type, Equal<BAccountType.customerType>>>),
typeof(Select<CR.BAccount,
Where2<Where<
CR.BAccount.type, Equal<BAccountType.prospectType>,
Or<CR.BAccount.type, Equal<BAccountType.customerType>,
Or<CR.BAccount.type, Equal<BAccountType.vendorType>,
Or<CR.BAccount.type, Equal<BAccountType.combinedType>>>>>,
And<Where<CR.BAccount.bAccountID, Equal<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>>,
Or<Current<BAccount.bAccountID>, Less<Zero>>>>>>)
},
VerifyRightsBy = new [] { typeof(CR.BusinessAccountMaint) })]
There is no way to easily customize this attribute. To change it would you need to replace the BAccount DAC with another one. The preferred method for your use case is to avoid usage PXPrimaryGraph attribute by using a regular action button.
The action button can be configured to show the pencil icon:
Make PXButton appear as pencil icon
And it can be displayed beside the field using PXLayout Merge property or you can use LinkCommand to redirect:

I want to be able to right click on a content item in Sitecore and then select something like "Run My App" in the context menu. Then in the app that runs I need to be able to reference the content item that was right clicked. Is this possible?
Yes you can do this, its not as hard as it sounds.
You want to drop into the Core database and open up the content editor. The right click menu is defined within the sitecore/content/Applications/Content Editor/Context Menus/Default
The items within that folder are what you see when you right-click an item in the tree. So you can add a new item there with a template of Menu Item.
If you look at the existing ones, most of them send a message to the Sitecore Desktop. These messages are the commands defined in /App_Config/Commands.config. I can't see anything in there that would just launch another Sitecore application, so you would need to create a new command to do that. To create one, just inherit from the Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands.Command class. That passes in a CommandContext which will holds a collection of Items.
public class DemoCommand: Command
{
#region Overrides of Command
/// <summary>
/// Executes the command in the specified context.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="context">The context.</param>
public override void Execute(CommandContext context)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull(context, "context");
var parameters = new NameValueCollection();
if (context.Items != null && context.Items.Length == 1)
{
var item = context.Items[0];
parameters["id"] = item.ID.ToString();
}
Context.ClientPage.Start(this, "Run", parameters);
}
#endregion
public CommandState QueryStat(CommandContext context)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull(context, "context");
return CommandState.Enabled;
}
protected static void Run(ClientPipelineArgs args)
{
Assert.ArgumentNotNull(args, "args");
SheerResponse.CheckModified(false);
SheerResponse.Broadcast(
SheerResponse.ShowModalDialog(
"[Path to your application here]"
),
"Shell");
}
}
To get the item passed over, in your message call - just pass the variable $Target.
So the field Message in the Menu Item would be something like:
item:runMyApplication(id=$Target)
Hope that makes sense :)
I want to create mutliple action bars (two) on the same activity for my Android App.
Here are my explanations:
I want a "header action bar" and a "footer action bar" to separate my menus :
one for options "Refresh" and "Settings"
and one for user actions "Send a post" and "Help".
Currently, I use this method:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_header, menu);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
ActionBar actionBar = getActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
}
return true;
}
My question is: how can I add another action bar and put it into the footer? It is possible?
(Example: http://i.stack.imgur.com/7sfh6.png)
Left image, action bar at the top (doesn't take into account the tab navigation) and the split Action Bar at the bottom.
I don't know what to say more, so if you want more informations you are free to ask me any questions.
Please have a look at uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" option in manifest file: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element.html
Note: This was deprecated with Android 5.0: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79722
I'm working on a project that uses a master page and content pages. My masterpage a navigation bar:
<asp:Menu ID="NavigationMenu" runat="server" CssClass="menu" EnableViewState="false" IncludeStyleBlock="false" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Items>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/ProjectPage.aspx" Text="Home" />
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/ProductBacklog.aspx" Text="Product Backlog"/>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/SprintBacklog.aspx" Text="Sprint Backlog" />
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/MeetingPage.aspx" Text="Meetings" />
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Burndown.aspx" Text="Burndown"/>
<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/About.aspx" Text="About Us"/>
</Items>
</asp:Menu>
On one of my content pages, I dynamically add sub-menu menuitems to my 'Sprint Backlog' menuitem. There is a button, and everytime the user clicks that button, a sub-menuitem is added, so that when the user hovers over 'Sprint Backlog' in the navigation menu, the submenu comes up. I do this by creating a list of menuitems, creating a new menuitem with (shown text, value, navigationURL), adding the menuitem to the list of menuitems, then saving the list to Session:
protected void btSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
menuItemList = (List<MenuItem>)Session["menuItemList"];
if (menuItemList == null)
{
menuItemList = new List<MenuItem>();
}
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem("Sprint " + sprintNumber, sprintNumber.ToString(), "SprintBacklog.aspx");
menuItemList.Add(menuItem);
Session["menuItemList"] = menuItemList;
}
In the code-behind for my masterpage, I create a list of menuitems, set the value of the instance of the menuitem from Session, and add childitems to the navigationmenu at the appropriate index. The childitem I am adding are the menuitems from the list of menuitems.
List<MenuItem> menuItemList;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
menuItemList = (List<MenuItem>)Session["menuItemList"];
if (menuItemList != null)
{
foreach (MenuItem menuitem in menuItemList)
{
NavigationMenu.Items[2].ChildItems.Add(menuitem);
}
}
}
I know that I gave these childitems a value when I created them, but my problem is accessing those values when I am loading the SprintBacklog.aspx content page. Whenever a user clicks on one of the childitems, it will always navigate to SprintBacklog.aspx, but the contents of that page should differ according to which child item they clicked. I need a way to know which childitem they clicked, and access that value to populate my content page.
If someone has a better way for me to carry this whole thing out, I am open for suggestions and change. Otherwise, if my setup can work, and there is a way for me to extract the value of the clicked childitem, I'd really like to know that.
I know if I hard-code the childitems in my masterpage, I can easily get the value, but my problem is that I'm creating the submenu childitems dynamically, and I'm not sure how to access it.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

It's been a long time since I asked this question, and I'm not familiar with how masterpages work anymore, but if anyone is experiencing anything similar, I may have a suggestion.
Each menu item I was creating was linking to SprintBacklog.aspx like so:
MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem("Sprint " + sprintNumber, sprintNumber.ToString(), "SprintBacklog.aspx");
What I should have done was link to SprintBacklog.aspx, but also add a parameter to the request with the sprint ID.
Then the controller which handles the rendering of SprintBacklog.aspx would read the parameter and fetch the appropriate data to render.
