I am using DataGrid for displaying table. One of the columns in Datagrid consists of XamFormulaEditor. Also, there are some custom variables that are assigned to XamCalculationManager's Named references so that they are visible to user when he types formula in XamFormulaEditor. I have couple of problems with ContextualHelp:
For Eg. if the custom variable name is "a", then in ContextualHelp list it looks like [//a]. Isnt't there any settings to make it look like [a] ?
Is there any way to filter the contextual help to not display standard functions and only display variables that we want ?
After looking into this and doing some research, ContextualHelp on Infragistics XamFormulaEditor for custom variables has been determined to be a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at Infragistics new site for features:

I'm building a magento (1.9CE) store which needs to interface with another system and I could use some guidance.
Although not particularly relevant, I'm communicating with the 'other' system using web services (it's on another server) but what I need help with is finding the places where I need to put in code to do what I want.
There are three major functions that I need to implement:-
When a user clicks on the product detail page I need to make a call to check the stock levels on the other system, update the magento stock levels and THEN display the product detail page.
When a sale is completed, I need to send details of that sale to the other system.
When a new product is added I need to communicate with the other system. This may be a bit more complex because there are a few checks I need to do during the 'add product' process, for example, check the SKU is valid, that tghe product doesn't already exists, etc. I think until I start coding this I shan't realise the full extent of this functionality!
Any guidance gratefully received!
Even though this might (and probably will) dramatically slow down your store, if you want real-time information, I guess the easiest way would be with observers.
You can use catalog_controller_product_init_before: This will trigger when the product detail page is starting loading, so you should be able to upload the stock at this point, before the page has finished loading, so that if there is no stock it will not be buyable, which I guess that's what you want.
You can use sales_order_place_after: This will be triggered after a new order has been placed and saved in the database.
You can use catalog_product_new_action or catalog_product_save_after: Depending on how you create your products the first one might not be triggered. The second one will always be triggered once a product (new or existing) has been saved, so at this point you will need to check if the product is new or existing, and do your stuff depending on that.
For an example of how to create an extension and usage of observer events, check this out.
I hope it helps!
I've been asked by a client to look into the possibility of allowing free shipping for orders of more than three items. Essentially this means allowing for a (shipping) pricing structure based on item count rather than total value.
(For a TL;DR, you could probably stop with that problem statement, but I'll provide some solution investigation context below. Maybe I've missed something.)
The admin UI only allows for setting free shipping based on monetary value. Similarly, the "Ship by" category of price options adds the ability to use weight in calculations, but alas not item count.
There seems to be no way to influence the shipping cost through the API. A %%GLOBAL_ShippingPrice%% variable is available to templates and, as I understand things, is calculated only using those admin-configured shipping configuration options described above. The Shipping API only seems to deal with shipping methods (physical not API methods!), and unfortunately the Orders API seems to offer nothing related to shipping costs either. Hmm.
I've looked into hacking the template files, but cannot find any support for custom expressions using the variables available.
We've asked Bigcommerce support, submitted an "idea", and obviously searched the interwebs and poked around the developer documentation. I'm so new, I only heard about Bigcommerce yesterday.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Note: First draft of this question included an inline screenshot and lots of relevant hyperlinks. Seems important for a quality question. Apparently I need more karma to insert most of that. I'll edit this question later, if possible and I ever get there, to include those helpful features.
Since Bigcommerce is not an open source platform, you cannot adjust things like shipping services and their actual functionality.
The only workaround I can think of would be to set every product to the same weight(1lb, for example) then set up shipping by weight which says cart >= 3lbs ships free. This will present a problem if you are using real time quotes from providers such as FedEx, USPS, or UPS though.
In the future I would suggest looking at their community forum(forum.bigcommerce.com) for questions such as this, since it does not actually pertain do the development of their API or templating system.
Best of luck!
This is possible if you use ShipperHQ. Here are the steps to configure it:
In ShipperHQ, ensure you have your UPS Carrier set with UPS Ground as
an available shipping method.
Click on Filters on the navbar and add
a new filter.
On your new filter, select “Whole Cart” under Filter
Applies To in the Edit Filter panel and enter a Name you’ll recognize
(e.g. “Over 3 items”).
In the Standard Filters panel, select “Range”
for the Quantity filter, enter a Min value of 3 and check the No Max
checkbox and Save.
You now have a filter set up which will match
against an order total with more than 3 items.
Click on Carrier
Rules on the navbar and add a new Rule.
Enter a descriptive Name
(e.g. “Free UPS Ground over 3 items”) under the Overview panel and
select UPS Ground in the Live Shipping Methods Assigned field under
the Applicable Shipping Methods panel.
In the Conditions panel,
select the Filter you just set up under Weight/Price/Quantity Filters
In the Actions panel and the Rule Action section, choose
“Set/Surcharge Shipping Methods” from the Action to Perform
drop-down, “Set Rates” from the Adapt Shipping Rates drop-down, and
“Per Cart” in the Apply Shipping Rate/Percentage drop-down.
In the
Set/Modify Shipping Rate section of the Actions panel, enter 0 in the
Shipping Rate field.
Save your rule.
ShipperHQ will now set UPS Ground to Free if the order has over 3 items.

I am trying to do some reporting on page views on a site and the results are being listed like the following:
www.example.com/directory/ - 100 views
www.example.com/directory/?id=123456 - 10 views
www.example.com/directory/?id=987654 - 5 views
What filter do I need to create to views the results as:
www.example.com/directory/ - 100 views
www.example.com/directory/?id=* - 15 views
Thanks in advance
Yes, getting historical grouped together is going to mean using something like Google Docs, Excel, Tableau Software, Analytics Canvas, etc.
Moving forward...
One of the simplest ways of keeping things grouped in GA is to set up an advanced profile filter. You'll want to use this with a new profile; keeping a "raw" or "empty" profile is highly advisable for when you actually want to look at those individual URLs.
That said, here's a filter pattern that should work for you:
Go to Admin > Filters (under the View Column)
+ New Filter > Create new Filter > Name it
Filter Type = Custom filter > Advanced
Here's the pattern:
Field A: www\.example\.com\/directory\/\?id=.+
Output To: www\.example\.com\/directory\/\?id=\*
Another way to aggregate the same URI with multiple query strings is to change the primary dimension to 'Page Title' under Behavior > Site Content > All Pages.
The best way to do this for your historical data is unfortunately in an excel pivot table. You can get in in the UI, but only by creating a custom report and searching for very specific directories.
Check out the documentation on excluding query strings in your GA profile. Maybe create a new profile and write an advanced rule to rewrite all "id" pages to "/directory/product-page".
A totally different approach is to use custom variables or custom dimensions and to stop looking in the normal "Behavior" reports section (used to be called "Content" in GA) – custom dims are available using Google Analytics Universal Analytics only, which means starting a new web property and possibly running both code snippets concurrently (totally safe to do).
Personally I find custom dimensions a bit easier to work with than custom variables, and I generally think that it's a good idea to start exploring the new Google Analytics.
The nice thing about either of these approaches is that you can still keep the full page path date in the same profile as your custom dimension / variables information; it'll stay in the Behavior section where it belongs with all the other page paths.
Where I'm going with this...
You can create a new dimension such as "page type" and then call it "products", "posts", "articles", or whatever these id #s represent in this /directory/; then you can look at metrics across the dimension like pageviews, time on page, etc. by page type.
You can even create other dimensions to help describe them in more detail, such as breaking down blog posts or products into their different categories; i.e. hierarchical dimensions. Once you start using this kind of thing you may wonder what you ever did without it!
I think it's fair that I stop this answer now since it's not about how to set up custom variables or custom dimensions; those links should get you started (it's really not difficult).
Note: You can use php to fill in the dimension information in the GA tracking snippet dynamically based on the page that is being viewed (again, that's another question).
Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask, but I asked this question on Joomla forums and did not get any answers. If someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate.
My question is: In a Joomla 2.5 website, I want to create two different kinds of forms for registering users. Maybe "registering" isn't the correct term. I want to create something like a very simple database which will hold records for two kinds of users:
- one which will be interested in working in projects, so in this case the form will have more fields and specific details to fill
- one which will be interested only in receiving newsletters from the site, and in this case only basic contact information will be required.
I did some research and found an extension named AcyMailing which can handle the newsletters for example, but I need to have all my potential users registered as Joomla users. I would like to avoid that if possible. If not, how can I differentiate the two kinds of users on registration, so the visitor can choose which option he wants and in this case, add more information to the registering process, if possible.
I'm not very experienced with Joomla, but since the site in question is already implemented using it, I don't have much choice.
Thanks in advance!
Chronoforms. Most definitely here would be a great use for their AWESOME free component. Your forms can work as registration forms (should you desire that); or can also just be free standing forms that log the information filled out on them to your database which you can later use however you would like (i.e. compiling a mailing list or something of that sort).
The form wizard makes it almost bullet proof, then you can have a form for 1 type of user to fill out, and a form for a different user build different ways.
That will get you the data - in order to mass mail those people you'll need a way to extract their emails out of the database (or find an email component that will let you email based on certain fields in the database or what have you); but it's totally possible and would be easily done I think with 1 simple mySQL query on your database table created by chronoforms.
In terms of something that will solve your issue quickly and get you the info you're looking for in two separate ways - chronoforms will do that exactly.
Hi everyone I have a few questions about the django admin.
First the relevant details. I currently have Client, Printer, Cartridge, and Order models.
The Printer model has a ManyToManyField to the Cartridge model, which would allow you to select all the cartridges that can be used with that printer.
The Cliente has a ManyToManyField to the printers which they own.
1) I want to create an Order through the Django admin which lets your specify the Client, a dicount, and multiple cartridges through a ManyToManyField. This is getting kinda tricky because I have to do it through another table that specifies whether it's a new Cartridge or a refill.
2) I want the admin to filters the Cartridges to only show the ones that belong to the printers that they own.
3) Also I would like to have a field that holds the total price of their order, but it should calculate it based on how many cartridges they have added to the order. I don't know if this should be done by adding more of the same cartridge to the order or by having another field in the related table that specifies the quantity.
Can this be done in the admin or do I need to use a form? And if so how would I go about adding this to the admin? It seems difficult and probably something I will have to do in multiple parts since in order to filter the list of cartridges I have to know the client beforehand.
As far as I can see, no, it's not really possible. The development version has some methods for limiting foreign keys, but it doesn't seem to me that limiting based on the customer is possible, since it depends on separate foreign keys.
The best suggestion, if you're really bent on doing it in the admin form, would be to use Javascript to do it. You would still have to make AJAX calls to get lists of what printers customers had and what cartridges to show based on that, but it could be done. You would just specify the JS files to load with the Media class.
But I think that's more work than it's worth. The easiest way I would see to do it would be with Form Wizards. That way, you'd have a step to select the customer so on the next step you know what cartridges to show.
Hope that helps!
I've worked similar problems, and have come to the conclusion that in many cases like this, it's really better to write your own administration interface using forms than it is to try and shoehorn functionality into the admin which is not intended to be there.
As far as 3) goes, it depends on what your product base looks like. If you're likely to have customers ordering 50 identical widgets, you probably do want a quantity field. If customers are more likely to be ordering 2 widgets, one in red, one in blue, add each item separately to the manytomany field and group them in your order interface.
