I have some queries that work fine in my local environment where I have access to the administrative page where can I set the data source and then reference it from my project.
http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/
However, problem is that in my production environment, I don't have access to the administrative page. I can't set up a data source that already doesn't exist.
Is there a way to create the data source connection via code and then reference it? Please let me know

Good day,
I had created my online store on a VPS, I opted to move the store to a web hosting package. After installing opecart using softalicioucs the default installation worked fine. I then edited the config files in both admin and public_html to change the database to the original backup of my VPS.
Once I do this, "You don't have permission to access this resource. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request".
If I go back to the installed default database its all good again. I have set the necessary permissions etc for the user to access the backup database.
Anyone knows what is going on? is there some table storing access information?
After disabling MODSECURE I realised that the new installation created tables with prefixes not as my original interfaces, hence the solution was to change the prefix in the config file.
I am creating a forum using Gatsby
I have develop a form that users can use to create threads to add to the forum in a page called create.js which which sends the data to an external DB.
Once, the user has submitted the thread, I want to create a new page using a template, normally I would use in Gatsby-node.js; according to the Gatsby Docs Gatsby-node.js is only run once on deployment.
Is there another way that I can access CreatePage() outside of Gatsby-node.js or is there another function I am missing?
Ultimately I want the new page to available in the Gatsby application, without redeploying, after the user has created the necessary content.
The way Gatsby works is that all pages need to be generated at build time. You cannot add new pages without triggering a new build.
Gatsby is not a suitable platform for a forum since content changes hundreds or thousands of times a day. Gatsby is intended for content that changes infrequently such as blogs (which might update a few times a day).
I order to generate pages without using CreatePage in Gatsby-node.js, Gatsby advises to use #reach/Router and matchPage to extend the client application's router, we call this functionality (Client-only Routes)

I am building a django based backend.
There are some very important constants (or you can say data) which defines the functioning of the whole project.
I want to store this information in the database so that anyone with admin permission can update those constants via an api call.
I could store those constants in setting.py file but then I have to edit the python file every time I update it. I want a non technical person be able to update the data via some web form.
One thing I can do is make a database query every time I use those data.
Or is there is some concept of local storage in django like cookies.
so whats the best policy
I've set up a local Sitecore environment with all sql and mongodb db's working.
Except i do not get any data in the experience profile (contacts)
I see that tracking_contact db is empty in mongo and also the analytics index folder is empty.
Other functionalities like experience analytics work fine.
Are there any extra configurations necessary?
The Experience Profile runs on the Analytics index. If there is no index, there will be no data shown.
Try to rebuild the index if it's not there.
There is an admin tool for rebuilding the reporting db & analytics index: /sitecore/admin/RebuildReportingDB.aspx
When you run the tool you must setup a secondary reporting db first.
Just attach another empty analtyics database to your local SQL and name it something like analytics_secondary and configure its connectionstring.
Then rebuild the reporting db and after that data should appear in your Experience Profile.
The index should be constantly refreshed by the aggregation framework (i.e. you should not need to rebuild) so if that is not happening, something is wrong in your configuration.
When working with xDB you'll need to identify a user to get it to appear in the experience profile section otherwise they will be anonymous.
Try using this code here to create a contact:
https://github.com/ianjohngraham/CoreBlimey.Utils/tree/master/CoreBlimey.Utils/xDB%20Contact%20Creator
And then call the end session by using the button.
If everything is setup correctly then the contact you created will appear in MongoDB and in Experience Profile.
If you are still not getting any data then you could try these things:
Ensure you have the <sc:VisitorIdentification runat="server" /> control for asp web forms layout
the #Html.Sitecore().VisitorIdentification() control for MVC layout
Make sure you disable robot detection by changing this setting <setting name="Analytics.AutoDetectBots" />
Charley,
I also had the similar problem in past, so what I found was, it was not working in my local, but when i put it stage server it shows data to me. So same may apply to you also.
Also without "#Html.Sitecore().VisitorIdentification()" in your Layout tracking is not possible.
Hope this will help you.
cheers!!
I am trying to write a job board / application system and I need the ability for clients to upload a CV and then share it with employers but I can't figure out the best way to do this. The CV needs to be kept private except for who it is shared with and there needs to be the ability for clients to update the cv after submitting it to an employer.
Is there a django app that does this already, or how would I go about setting up the privacy, file sharing etc so that the files can be copied and still private to just those shared with?
Use Apache's x-sendfile, for an example see: Having Django serve downloadable files
Store the files in a private folder. Django authorizes the request and let Apache serve the file using the x-sendfile header.
Use S3, and django-storages.
Upload the CV to S3, with the file set as private.
Create a view which will fetch a given CV from the S3 bucket, producing an "expiring URL", or that will just fetch the raw data from S3 and pass it through to the user through a view.
The file's privacy is completely controlled this way.
You could also do this by storing the uploaded file outside of your projects STATICs directory (which is assumed to be publicly accessible), and doing step 3 for that.
Or, if you want to make a DBA's head explode, store the CV as a BLOB in the database and use a view in the same way.
