I am trying to create a custom list action for SharePoint (Office 365) and I need to get current list view. However if I add ribbon action I have some problems to find currently selected list view. My trials:
a) It would be the best to have some url tokent (like {View}) with current view ID, however it looks like such does not exist.
b) I had an idea to find selected view from the source url, however if I add Source={Source} parameter to the custom action, I get Source resolved to : Source=https://mysite.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/commandui.ashx?ver=%2D1037522208&lcid=1033&qt=commandhandlers
(while I'd expect something like https://mysite.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/Lists/My%20List/AllItems.aspx?InitialTabId=Ribbon%2EList&VisibilityContext=WSSTabPersistence )
c) .. ?
Any ideas how to get currently selected list view?
it looks like there are more then one way to create custom action for every list. My way was just remove RegistrationType and RegistrationId:
<CustomAction
Id="65695319-4784-478e-8dcd-4e541cb1d682.CustomAction"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
Sequence="10001"
Title="Invoke custom action">
Another way is to register custom action to content to content type 0x01:
<CustomAction
Id="65695319-4784-478e-8dcd-4e541cb1d682.CustomAction"
Location="CommandUI.Ribbon"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x01"
Sequence="10001"
Title="Invoke custom action">
This way I get results as expected

If user selects one option from select list then that button should link to different URL, if user selects second option from that select list then that same button should land at another URL , Kindly help me in it using ORACLE APEX.
Create a page item P1_URL of type select list
Add a couple of entries - for this example I'm using static values but a query should work too. Make sure the return value of the entry contains the actual url:
Create a button with action "Submit Page"
Create a branch
Execution Options > Point > "Processing"
Type: "Url defined by Item (Redirect)"
Item: P1_URL
Run the page, when you click the button the page should redirect to the selected url.
I am trying to make a NameValueList collection editable with GlassMapper and I don't seem to be able to get to the bottom of this.
We have a list of validations that can be attached to a field and I would like to have the validation message editable in ExperienceEditor.
The collection is pre-processed when GlassMapper is retrieving the item:
Validations = glassItem.GetValidations();
#foreach(Validation validation in Model.Validations)
{
<div id="#validation.Identifier" ng-message="#validation.AngularKey" ng-cloak class="mtg-validation-msg">
#Html.Glass().Editable(validation, e => e.ErrorMessage)
</div>
}
Error that I am getting:
Failed item resolve - You cannot save a class that does not contain a property that represents the item ID. Ensure that at least one property has been marked to contain the Sitecore ID. Type: MyAssembly.Models.Validation
It is not possible to directly edit certain types of complex fields in the Experience Editor, such as Treelist, Multilist or Name Value Collection.
Instead, you should set up and use an Edit Frame. This will pop up a modal dialog allowing you to edit the field, it is not inline but means you do not need to leave the Experience Editor. This is the recommended approach to this problem.
Since you are using Glass Mapper, since version 4 you can declare Edit Frames all directly from code and now have to declare/set them up in the Core database first.
#if (Sitecore.Context.PageMode.IsExperienceEditor)
{
using (Html.Glass().BeginEditFrame(Model, "Edit", x => x.Validations))
{
<div>Edit Validations</div>
}
}

Sitecore 6.6 Update 4
We're using CustomItemGenerator 1.0 and I was using this to help build a primary navigation menu for a site. This worked as expected and everything was rendered properly.
My problem is when I attempt to edit the menu via Page Editor; I don't even see the menu.
I use a repeater and repeat over a list of links to include in the nav. Due to the way the HTML was created, each LI element needs to have its own, specific ID ("Nav Id" Field in Sitecore) that ties into the CSS. Code inside of my repeater's ItemDataBound event:
// Cast the item using CustomItemGenerator-generated class
GenericContentPageItem navItem = (GenericContentPageItem)e.Item.DataItem;
liMenuItem.ID = navItem.NavId.Rendered; // I tried "navItem.NavId" by itself as well
So while this renders properly in the browser, it doesn't when I'm in Page Editor:
<li id="<input id='fld_B72EB6696DCF41A49671972D5EA5DEB8_2163B90C08AB4A18970A7F3ECE79DCFC_en_1_f71bd37d18d146c19e222e89fcffe278_3' class='scFieldValue' name='fld_B72EB6696DCF41A49671972D5EA5DEB8_2163B90C08AB4A18970A7F3ECE79DCFC_en_1_f71bd37d18d146c19e222e89fcffe278_3' type='hidden' value=" Home?="">
... instead of it rendering like this:
<li id="Home">...</li>
Now, that having been said, I can change my code to not use the CustomItemGenerator and it works fine in the browser and Page Editor as follows:
GenericContentPageItem navItem = (GenericContentPageItem)e.Item.DataItem;
Item nav = Sitecore.Context.Database.GetItem(navItem.ID);
liMenuItem.ID = nav.Fields["Nav Id"].ToString();
I would like to avoid having to hardcode field names in my code, which is why I am using CustomItemGenerator. Is there something that I'm doing wrong with my code that it doesn't want to work in Page Editor?
Thanks!
If you need the actual value out of the field regardless of if you are in the page editor or not, you want to use the Raw property:
liMenuItem.ID = navItem.NavId.Raw;
Im am using Play 2.0.4 and
helper.options(myitems)
in my template (inside of a helper.select)
In this case, how can I define the default selected entry, which shall be one entry out of myitems? Thanks for any hint!
A little bit more about my case:
Imagine a news archive, showing all news titles. This news archive uses pagination, pagination uses GET to pass the next/previous page number.
The play framework however will only correctly select the currently selected "select" item (here: news category) when a POST request was used - while pagination uses GET!
Intended behaviour: While a filter is applied / a specific news category is selected, this shall always be visible to the user by preselecting the currently selected news category in the "select" form.
A "screenshot" for illustration:
So, anyone having a good idea on how to cope with this problem? Any way to tell Play manually which entry from the "select" form it shall select? '_default always adds a new entry instead of selecting one out of the given options ): Would be great, if one wouldn't have to build the complete "select" form manually.
Try passing '_default option to select helper:
#import views.html.helper._
#select(form("email"), options(List("first", "third")), '_default -> "second")
It seems, unfortunately, the only way to figure it out is to look up the source.
Update:
Specifying _default property doesn't set selected attribute on option tag. It looks like the only way to preselect entry is to pass prefilled form to the template. For example, suppose you have following form:
case class RegInfo(email: String, color: String)
private val registrationForm = Form(
mapping(
"email" → email,
"color" → nonEmptyText(minLength = 5, maxLength = 32)
)(RegInfo.apply)(RegInfo.unapply)
)
Then in the action prefill form before passing to the view:
def create = Action {
Ok(html.create(registrationForm.fill(RegInfo("user#qwe.com", "blue"))))
}
Then in template use helper:
#select(form("color"), options(List("red", "green", "blue")))
And value will be preselected.
Ended up with the pragmatic approach:
<select id="myfield" name="myfield" >
<option class="blank" value="">-- All items --</option>
#for((key, value) <- MyModel.options) {
#if(key == GETValuePassedToTemplate) {
<option value="#key" selected>#value</option>
} else {
<option value="#key">#value</option>
}
}
</select>
Still wondering if there is a better option / way to do it.
Actually, there is a nicer solution to it. If you call the template having the form partially bound you will achieve your goal. Here's the code for your controller:
Ok(views.html.myForm(myForm.bind(
Map("fieldName1" -> "value1",
"fieldName2" -> "value2"))))
Make sure you map fieldnames to the values of the options you want pre-selected.
Still wondering if there is a better option / way to do it.
Well, if your not hell-bent on using play to solve this particular problem, you could always solve it using JavaScript and jQuery:
$(function () {
$('#yourSelect_id').val(5);
}
Where your select options each has values and the one option you whish to pre select has value 5.
We're creating a page in Orchard CMS using the 'List' Content Type. We want to add some hyperlinks at the top of the list, that will jump down the page to specific items in the list.
We specifically don't want to just link to the individual page for the list item, but jump down to where it is in the list, and because the list items are rendered using the same View part, we can't of course just hard code the bookmarks.
We've been customising the View Part in VS and know that the list item title is generated using the code:
#Display(Model.Header)
And this generates < h1 > and < a > tags to wrap around the title like this:
< h1 shape-id="5" >< a href="/Orchard/Contents/Item/Display/36" shape-id="5" >Marketing< /a >< /h1 >
However, we can't find a way to get the Display() method to include a 'name=' clause which we can then use as the bookmark.
We've also tried adding a new tag just above the exiting code, e.g.:
< a name="#Model.Header" >< /a >
#Display(Model.Header)
But of course the Model.Header is an object reference, and not some text, so this failed. After this we've got lost with various ways trying to find a property of the Model object to fetch the Title as text but couldn't.
There must be a way to overload the Display() method to get it to include the 'name=' clause, anyone got any ideas?
Model.Header is just a zone. What really renders the title is a shape that was added to that zone. You should really use Shape Tracing (part of the Designer Tools module) to understand what the hierarchy of shapes looks like. You don't need to "overload the display method". What you need is to override the template for the shape that is rendering the title (which is not Model.Header but something inside it).

Try:
<a name="#Model.Header.Items[0].Title" />
It's not pretty, but it worked for me when I dropped this in an alternate template for a biography content type I created (Views/Content-Bio.Summary.cshtml).
Based on Bertrand's suggestion, instead you can try:
<a name="#Model.Title" />
in your template alternate.
