Component from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 - joomla2.5

I have just update my site from joomla 1.5 to joomla 2.5. And now I am getting error of compatibility issue. This is an error:
Strict Standards: Declaration of MyController::display() should be compatible with JController::display($cachable = false, $urlparams = false)
Please help me out...
Thanks in advance.

Based on the error message, you need to change the MyController class's display function to accept two parameters.
You probably have this:
public function display() {
....
}
And it needs to accept two parameters like the base JController class:
public function display($cachable = false, $urlparams = false) {
....
}
Even if you never use them, standard functions likely will, so it is best to match the parameters of the functions that you override in your classes.

Found the answer.
You just need to make only one change in the configuration.php file of your site.
change this line from,
public $error_reporting = 'default';
To,
public $error_reporting = 'none';
& thats all.. This will not show the strict standards message.

Acumatica - Problem with data displaying in custom field even though saved to database

I created a custom date field in the opportunity screen. The field shows up just as expected. I enter a date save the record, go out, go back in and the date is no longer there. However, when I query the database, the column is there and there is a data in the column. So, even though the date is being stored in the database it is not displaying it in the screen or when I added that value to the generic inquiry it is also blank. I am not a programmer but it seems like that should’ve been an easy thing to do. I found some references on the web of this type of problem but was hoping there was a more straightforward fix than what those appeared, as they were more programming than I am comfortable at this point.
I found many web pages explaining how to do this seemingly simple thing using the customization tools. Not sure what I'm missing.
I am running fairly recent version of 2019R1.
Any help would be appreciated!
Response from an Acumatica support person.. Evidently they changed some things with 2018R1. See comments/answers below from support. Image of the change I made in the customization tool is also below. After making this change the custom field worked as desired.
After reviewing it into more details, it sounds that it could be related to the new implementation of PXProjection on that DAC.
Unlike ver. 2017 R2, some DAC like the PX.Objects.CR.CROpportunity DAC were implemented as a regular Data Access Class:
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[PXCacheName(Messages.Opportunity)]
[PXPrimaryGraph(typeof(OpportunityMaint))]
[CREmailContactsView(typeof(Select2<Contact,
LeftJoin<BAccount, On<BAccount.bAccountID, Equal<Contact.bAccountID>>>,
Where2<Where<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>, IsNull, And<Contact.contactID, Equal<Optional<CROpportunity.contactID>>>>,
Or2<Where<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>, IsNotNull, And<Contact.bAccountID, Equal<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>>>>,
Or<Contact.contactType, Equal<ContactTypesAttribute.employee>>>>>))]
[PXEMailSource]//NOTE: for assignment map
public partial class CROpportunity : PX.Data.IBqlTable, IAssign, IPXSelectable
{
...
}
In version 2018 R1(and later) the PX.Objects.CR.CROpportunity DAC is a projection over the PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.CROpportunity and PX.Objects.CR.Standalone.CROpportunityRevision DACs:
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[PXCacheName(Messages.Opportunity)]
[PXPrimaryGraph(typeof(OpportunityMaint))]
[CREmailContactsView(typeof(Select2<Contact,
LeftJoin<BAccount, On<BAccount.bAccountID, Equal<Contact.bAccountID>>>,
Where2<Where<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>, IsNull, And<Contact.contactID, Equal<Optional<CROpportunity.contactID>>>>,
Or2<Where<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>, IsNotNull, And<Contact.bAccountID, Equal<Optional<CROpportunity.bAccountID>>>>,
Or<Contact.contactType, Equal<ContactTypesAttribute.employee>>>>>))]
[PXEMailSource]//NOTE: for assignment map
[PXProjection(typeof(Select2<Standalone.CROpportunity,
InnerJoin<Standalone.CROpportunityRevision,
On<Standalone.CROpportunityRevision.opportunityID, Equal<Standalone.CROpportunity.opportunityID>,
And<Standalone.CROpportunityRevision.revisionID, Equal<Standalone.CROpportunity.defRevisionID>>>>>), Persistent = true)]
public partial class CROpportunity : IBqlTable, IAssign, IPXSelectable
{
...
}
Because of that change, it's now required to declare 2 extension classes, one for Standalone.CROpportunity (normal DAC) and the CROpportunity (PXProjection).
On the PXProjection DAC Extension, please remind to add BqlField to the correspondent field on the Standalone DAC, Ex.: BqlField = typeof(CROpportunityStandaloneExt.usrTest)
public class CROpportunityExt : PXCacheExtension<PX.Objects.CR.CROpportunity>
{
#region UsrTest
[PXDBDecimal(BqlField = typeof(CROpportunityStandaloneExt.usrTest))]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Test Field")]
public virtual Decimal? UsrTest { get; set; }
public abstract class usrTest : IBqlField { }
#endregion
}

Custom field on CROpportunity doesn't display saved value since upgrading from 6.10 or 2017R2 to 2018R1

AWS and Changes in Swift 3

After the Swift 3 update, I'm having some trouble getting my app to compile. Most of the errors are pretty simple to fix, but I'm running into a few in particular with AWS. Is there some sort of updated AWS SDK for Swift 3? I've tried to look it up, but haven't found one. In any case, the two main errors I'm having trouble resolving are as follows:
"Type 'IdentityProviderManager' does not conform to protocol AWSIdentityProviderManager." This is for a class I created following a tutorial to set up logins through AWS Cognito. The code is:
class IdentityProviderManager: NSObject, AWSIdentityProviderManager{
var tokens : [NSString : NSString]?
init(tokens: [NSString : NSString]) {
self.tokens = tokens
}
#objc func logins() -> AWSTask<AnyObject> {
return AWSTask(result: tokens as AnyObject)
}
}
In the AWS documentation for AWSIdentityProviderManager, it says that the only required function is logins, which I have. Is there a simple way to resolve this that I'm missing?
The other error is in my LoginViewController class: "Type 'LoginViewController' does not conform to protocol 'AWSCognitoIdentityPasswordAuthentication'." Here the issue seems a bit more clear, since the documentation says that getPasswordAuthenticationDetails() is a required method and XCode seems to have changed this method to getDetails() when updating to Swift 3, unless I'm mistaken and it wasn't there to begin with or something. In any case, autocomplete doesn't give me the original method and I can't seem to make the class conform to the protocol.
Apologies if the answer is already in documentation somewhere, but as far as I can tell it seems like the AWS SDK (at least the version that I have) is somehow incompatible with Swift 3. Is there something I can do to resolve these errors?
Nevermind, it turned out XCode just wasn't showing me the option to make the changes I needed. The automatic fix implemented slightly different versions of the required functions and everything ended up working.

Sitecore: Glass Mapper Code First

It is possible to automatically generate Sitecore templates just coding models? I'm using Sitecore 8.0 and I saw Glass Mapper Code First approach but I cant find more information about that.
Not sure why there isn't much info about it, but you can definitely model/code first!. I do it alot using the attribute configuration approach like so:
[SitecoreType(true, "{generated guid}")]
public class ExampleModel
{
[SitecoreField("{generated guid}", SitecoreFieldType.SingleLineText)]
public virtual string Title { get; set; }
}
Now how this works. The SitecoreType 'true' value for the first parameter indicates it may be used for codefirst. There is a GlassCodeFirstDataprovider which has an Initialize method, executed in Sitecore's Initialize pipeline. This method will collect all configurations marked for codefirst and create it in the sql dataprovider. The sections and fields are stored in memory. It also takes inheritance into account (base templates).
I think you first need to uncomment some code in the GlassMapperScCustom class you get when you install the project via Nuget. The PostLoad method contains the few lines that execute the Initialize method of each CodeFirstDataprovider.
var dbs = global::Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabases();
foreach (var db in dbs)
{
var provider = db.GetDataProviders().FirstOrDefault(x => x is GlassDataProvider) as GlassDataProvider;
if (provider != null)
{
using (new SecurityDisabler())
{
provider.Initialise(db);
}
}
}
Furthermore I would advise to use code first on development only. You can create packages or serialize the templates as usual and deploy them to other environment so you dont need the dataprovider (and potential risks) there.
You can. But it's not going to be Glass related.
Code first is exactly what Sitecore.PathFinder is looking to achieve. There's not a lot of info publicly available on this yet however.

A descendant of TStyledPresentationProxy has not been registered for class

I have a custom grid control that inherits from TGrid called TFmGrid. This control was working fine in Rad Studio 10 Seattle Update One. I recently upgraded to 10.1 Berlin and started noticing this error message showing up on my TFmGrid controls both when I run the application and in the designer:
A descendant of TStyledPresentationProxy has not been registered for class TFmGrid. Maybe it is necessary to add the FMX.Grid.Style module to the uses section
The image below shows how the error message shows up on my grid controls:
I started by doing as the message suggests, and adding #include <FMX.Grid.Style.hpp> to the header file of my TFmGrid control, however this seems to have done nothing.
So as far as trying to register a decendant of TStyledPresentationProxy I am not exactly sure where to start. I found this documentation about a method which:
Attempts to register the presentation proxy class with the specified name or the specified combination of control class and control type.
So I assume I need to use this method or at least something similar, but I don't understand how I am supposed to go about calling this method.
But then that brings up the question of WHERE do I call this code?
My custom control has a method in its namespace called Register() which I believe was autogenerated by the IDE when the control was created:
namespace Fmgridu
{
void __fastcall PACKAGE Register()
{
TComponentClass classes[1] = {__classid(TFmGrid)};
RegisterComponents(L"Kalos FM Controls", classes, 0);
}
}
Do I need to call something in there to register a decendant of TStyledPresentationProxy? What is the proper way to go about this?
Just override virtual method DefinePresentationName in you TfmGrid and return name of presentation name for grid:
function TfmGrid.DefinePresentationName: string;
begin
Result := 'Grid-' + GetPresentationSuffix;
end;
Fm registers presentation by string name and uses class name for it, so if you create new component (based on existed) you automatically change classname, so system cannot find presentation for you. There are two solution:
Said that you will use presentation from TGrid (DefinePresentationName)
Register existed presentation for you class (look at the initialization section of FMX.Grid.Style.pas)
P.S. Year ago i wrote article about it in common eNew approach of development of FireMonkey control “Control – Model – Presentation”. Part 1 I hope it will help you
It's simple :
Just put "StyleBook" component to your form
I had the same issue with a test component I was developing.
Complementing Yaroslav Brovin's speech, I solved the problem by adding the class register in the initialization and finalization clauses at the end of the unit, like this:
initialization
TPresentationProxyFactory.Current.Register(<COMPONENT CLASSNAME HERE>, TControlType.Styled, TStyledPresentationProxy<TStyledGrid>);
finalization
TPresentationProxyFactory.Current.Unregister(<COMPONENT CLASSNAME HERE>, TControlType.Styled, TStyledPresentationProxy<TStyledGrid>);
In my case looks like this:
initialization
TPresentationProxyFactory.Current.Register(TSGrid, TControlType.Styled, TStyledPresentationProxy<TStyledGrid>);
finalization
TPresentationProxyFactory.Current.Unregister(TSGrid, TControlType.Styled, TStyledPresentationProxy<TStyledGrid>);
PS: Don't forget to declare the FMX.Presentation.Factory,
FMX.Presentation.Style and FMX.Grid.Style units in the uses clause

Silverstripe Template Issue

I'm getting to grips with the Silverstripe framework and I've come across a strange error.
Say for example I want to create a new 'membership' page. Within mysite/code I have set up a membership.php page as follows:
class Membership extends Page {
}
class Membership_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
Then I have created a membership.ss file within my templates/layout folder with some test output. I then do a dev build and create a page in the CMS of type 'membership'. On the front end if I click the new page form the nav bar membership I don't see the test text so it seems that the template is not being read?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Alan.
There are several common pitfalls regarding templates:
how flushing works has changed several times in the past versions.
I will not explain the details here, as those are prossibly subject to change soon again.
However there are 2 things in the current version (3.1) that is of relevance here:
/dev/build does NOT flush at all
/dev/build?flush=1 does ONLY flush manifest and config (NO templates)
(dev build does not use the template, so there is no flushing the template performed)
this means that you have do do a ?flush=1 on a normal page, not just on dev/build
The Template file has to be named exactly like the class (I think its case sensitive)
check that the template file is not overwritten by another template file in another location. (eg if you have moduleName/templates/Foo.ss and themes/simple/templates/Foo.ss than the template of the theme will overwrite the module template
make sure the template is not empty (this causes an error in SilverStripe, at least in version 3.1)
Actions on a Controller can overwrite template ussage. here some examples:
// this will not use a template at all, it will just print "some string"
public function index() { return "some string"; }
// this will not use a template at all, it will output an empty string
public function index() { return; }
// this will use template named "Bar.ss"
public function index() { return $this->renderWith(array('Bar')); }
SilverStripe also provides a debug option to see what templates are used.
you can active it by 2 ways:
set source_file_comments in your yml config:
SSViewer:
# display template filenames as comments in the html output
source_file_comments: true
use the "URL Variable Tools": just add ?showtemplate=1 when viewing your website
when enabled, see the HTML source (CTRL+u in firefox) of the page
silverstripe will add comments to let you know what templates are used.
Make sure your class has a Page_Controller extension declared and named correctly. I recently had this issue. The page controller extension had a typo, so the template file was not being used.
So for example, if your page class is RidiculouslyNamedPage
class RidiculouslyNamedPage extends Page {
}
class RidiculouslyNamedPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
Then in your themes/[theme-name]/templates/Layout/ folder you would have your RidiculouslyNamedPage.ss.
If you misspell RidiculouslyNamedPage_Controller the template will not get called.
I found the answer to the problem.
My .php was missing the following:
function getInfo() {
return $this->renderWith('Media');
}
ithout this the Media.ss file will not be used! Hopefully this will help other who might be getting to grips with SS!
