I dynamically create campaign from my website using mailsnake in django framework. Want to add the data and images directly into campaign for that i add the html data into the sections like postcard_heading00, postcard_image, std_content00.
Write the code as below:
mailsnake = MailSnake('apikey')
template_option = {'list_id':xxxx, 'subject':'testing', 'from_email':'xxxxx', 'from_name':'Test', 'to_name':'', 'template_id':54457, 'inline_css':True, 'generate_text': True, 'title':'testing' }
template_content = {"html_postcard_heading00":"<h1>Testing</h1>","html_std_content00":"<h1>Testing</h1>","html_postcard_image":"<img src='image_path'>"}
and pass this content to
campaignCreate(type='regular',options = template_option,content=template_content)
method.
Campaigns creates properly, but the content still not added into the campaign.
Can please anybody tell me why this happens?
Problem is because of Repeatable section. Repeatable section having different way to add data.
Change the template content as below.
template_content = {'html_repeat_1:0:postcard_heading00':postcard_heading[0],
'html_repeat_1:0:postcard_image': postcard_img,
'html_repeat_1:0:std_content00': std_content[0]}
I done this way and problem gets solved.

I have to make dashboard like view in flask-admin that will use data retrieved from external API. I have already written a functions that get date ranges and return data from that range. I should use BaseView probably but I don't know how to actually write it to make filters work. This is example function that i have to use: charts = generate_data_for_dashboard('164', '6423FACA-FC71-489D-BF32-3A671AB747E3', '2018-03-01', '2018-09-01'). Those params should be chosen from 3 different dropdowns. So far I know only how to render views with pre coded data like this :
class DashboardView(BaseView):
kwargs = {}
#expose('/', methods=('GET',))
def statistics_charts(self):
user = current_user
company = g.company
offices = Office.query.filter_by(company_id=company.id)
self.kwargs['user'] = user
self.kwargs['company'] = company
charts = generate_data_for_dashboard('164', '6423FACA-FC71-489D-BF32-3A671AB747E3', '2018-03-01', '2018-09-01')
self.kwargs['chart1'] = charts[0]
self.kwargs['chart2'] = charts[1]
return self.render('stats/dashboard.html', **self.kwargs)
But I need some kind of form to filter it. In addition date filter dropdown should have dynamic options : current_week, last_week, current_month, last_month, last_year. Don't know where to start.
You should use WTForms to build a form. You then have to decide if you want the data to be fetched on Submit or without a reload of the page. In the former case, you can just return the fetched information on the response page in your statistics_charts view. But if you want the data to update without a reload, you'll need to use JavaScript to track the form field changes, send the AJAX request to the API, and then interpret the resulting JSON and update your dashboard graphs and tables as needed.
I have not used it, but this tutorial says you can use Dash for substantial parts of this task, while mostly writing in Python. So that could be something to check out. There is also flask_jsondash which might work for you.
I was wondering what is the correct approach,
Do I create HiddenInput fields in my ModelForm and from the
View I pass in the primaryKey for the models I am about to edit into
the hiddenInput fields and then grab those hiddenInput fields from
the AJAX script to use it like this?
item.load(
"/bookmark/save/" + hidden_input_field_1,
null,
function () {
$("#save-form").submit(bookmark_save);
}
);
Or is there is some more clever way of doing it and I have no idea?
Thanks
It depends upon how you want to implement.
The basic idea is to edit 1. you need to get the existing instance, 2. Save provided information into this object.
For #1 you can do it multiple ways, like passing ID or any other primary key like attribute in url like http://myserver/edit_object/1 , Or pass ID as hidden input then you have to do it through templates.
For #2, I think you would already know this. Do something like
inst = MyModel.objects.get(id=input_id) # input_id taken as per #1
myform = MyForm(request.POST, instance=inst)
if myform.is_valid():
saved_inst = myform.save()
I just asked in the django IRC room and it says:
since js isn't processed by the django template engine, this is not
possible.
Hence the id or the object passed in from django view can't be accessed within AJAX script.
In WFFM there is an option so that, when someone abandons the form, any data that was entered in the form itself is recorded and should be accessible via the Dropout Report.
I have a WFFM for which I have turned on Analytics and turned on the dropout feature. Unfortunately I don't see any data being recorded in the DB and the Dropout Report is visible, but empty.
I see from the javascript code included in the WFFM folder that a series of AJAX calls are supposed to save the fields on blur events -- with calls to /sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx
I tried debugging the Javascript code, but the method supposed to post the info to /sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx is never being called. Can you think of any reasons for this code not to work? Also, does anyone know which table this information is supposed to be recorded? Is it the fields table in the WFFM DB?
Finally, even though I have turned on analytics on this particular WFFM form and I have associated a campaign and a goal to the submission of the form, none of these is being recorded. I see that the data entered in the form is stored successfully and is displaying in the Data Report, but no info about the Campaign nor the Goal are recorded in the DB.
I even checked manually directly in the DMS DB running:
select top 10
p.DateTime, p.UrlText, cp.CampaignName
,i.Url, vi.VisitId
from pages p
inner join ItemUrls i on p.ItemId = i.ItemId
inner join Visits vi on vi.VisitId = p.VisitId
inner join GeoIps g on vi.Ip = g.Ip
left join Campaigns cp on cp.CampaignId = vi.CampaignId
order by p.DateTime desc
This one shows that the page where the form is rendered is being hit, but no campaign is associated to the visit.
Then I tried the following:
select pe.datetime, ped.Name, pg.UrlText from PageEvents pe
inner join PageEventDefinitions ped on ped.PageEventDefinitionId = pe.PageEventDefinitionId
inner join Pages pg on pg.PageId = pe.PageId
order by pe.DateTime desc
But I don't see any entry for this particular campaign nor for the goal (while I see entries for other campaigns and goals associated to non-WFFM Sitecore items)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Francesco
EDIT
The sc.webform.js file contains this method:
_create: function () {
var self = this,
options = this.options;
if (options.tracking) {
this.element.find("input[type!='submit'], select, textarea")
.bind('focus', function (e) { self.onFocusField(e, this) })
.bind('blur change', function (e) { self.onBlurField(e, this) });
this.element.find("select")
.change(function () { $scw.webform.controls.updateAnalyticsListValue(this) });
this.element.find("input[type='checkbox'], input[type='radio']")
.click(function () { $scw.webform.controls.updateAnalyticsListValue(this) });
}
this.element.find(".scfDatePickerTextBox").each(function () { $scw.webform.controls.datePicker(this) });
},
This is supposed to be called by the form on sc.webform widget initialization. It should bind the focus and blur change events for all input fields, drop downs and text areas. Unfortunately, when I tried to put a break point inside this method, it never gets called.
SECOND EDIT
Interesting. I figured out that the whole thing should start from this line of Javascript code embedded in the page that contains the WFFM form:
<script type="text/javascript">
$scwhead.ready(function() {
$scw('#form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F').webform({formId: "{A8BF4834-1917-4F97-A283-0E12CBCF7E4F}",pageId: "{21C24144-B964-4FBA-8388-D9B90EBBC17C}",eventCountId: "pagecolumns_0_columncontent_0_bottomrow_0_form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F_form_A8BF483419174F97A2830E12CBCF7E4F_eventcount",tracking: true})
});
</script>
Once I put a break point here, I was finally able to trace into the _create method of the jQuery.UI widget defined in sc.webform.js. The code that calls _create is actually inside the jQuery.UI library. Kinda makes sense, right?
Finally, the code inside _create is executed, the blur events are bound to the TrackEvents method, also defined within the widget:
_trackEvents: function(events) {
$scw.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/sitecore modules/web/Web Forms for Marketers/Tracking.aspx" + location.search,
data: {track: JSON.stringify(events)},
dataType: 'json'
});
What doesn't make sense is that now, even though I can finally see trackEvents being called whenever I tab from field to field in the WFFM form (why wasn't working before it's a mistery to me), I don't see any data recorded in the WFFM DB. I even tried a quick query in the DB:
select f.Timestamp, f.StorageName, fi.Value, fi.FieldName
from Form f
inner join Field fi on f.Id = fi.FormId
order by f.Timestamp desc, FieldName
Does anybody know where is Tracking.aspx supposed to save the captured field informations?
This may be silly to ask, but did you configure the data source correctly for your WFFM? I mean, obviously, you're using WFFM..but is it set to use SQL or is it using the "file" that WFFM uses by default as it's database.
like this to use SQL:
<!-- MSSQL-->
<formsDataProvider type="Sitecore.Forms.Data.DataProviders.WFMDataProvider,Sitecore.Forms.Core">
<param desc="connection string">Database=Sitecore_WebForms;Data Source=xxx;user id=xxx;password=xxx;Connect Timeout=30</param>
</formsDataProvider>
<!-- SQLite -->
<!--<formsDataProvider type="Sitecore.Forms.Data.DataProviders.SQLite.SQLiteWFMDataProvider,Sitecore.Forms.Core">
<param desc="connection string">Data Source=/data/sitecore_webforms.db;version=3;BinaryGUID=true</param>
</formsDataProvider>-->
If you don't configure that correctly, I'm wondering if somehow data is being recorded in one place but not another? Also, another question I have is to ask if this is a dev environment, are you running webforms in live mode? It just seems to me like this is a configuration issue.
We are experiencing the exact same problem on 6.5 update 6 and WFFM 2.3.3 rev. 111209. We can see the asynchronous calls to the server including the probably well formed json object containing the correct event.
Example:
track:[{"fieldId":"{E0A0BCDD-85E1-4D8D-9E76-5ABD240423C9}","type":"Field Completed","value":"test","formId":"{0F3B57C1-1B6A-43B9-A5A6-2E958C168B31}","pageId":"{025AFF68-62B9-42CE-B49F-0C36311E1976}","ticks":16}]
We don't see any of the dropouts arrive in the database, though...
Have you made sure your campaigns and goals have been deployed? If you have switched databases they may not be. To redeploy do this:
For each Goal in System -> Marketing Center -> Goals
Change the workflow state to draft
Save
Then in the review ribbon click deploy.
This will create an entry in the pageeventdefinition table and allow
you to query.
Don't forget to do the same for campaigns.
Im playing a little bit with heavy-client app.
Imagine I have this model:
class Category(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=30)
color = models.CharField(max_length=9)
Im using knockoutjs (but I guess this is not important). I have a list (observableArray) with categories and I want to create a new category.
I create a new object and I push it to the list. So far so good.
What about saving it on my db? Because I'm using tastypie I can make a POST to '/api/v1/category/' and voilà, the new category is on the DB.
Ok, but... I haven't refresh the page, so... if I want to update the new category, how I do it?
I mean, when I retrieve the categories, I can save the ID so I can make a put to '/api/v1/category/id' and save the changes, but... when I create a new category, the DB assign a id to it, but my javascript doesn't know that id yet.
in other words, the workflow is something like:
make a get > push the existing objects (with their ids) on a list > create a new category > push it on the list > save the existing category (the category doesnt have the id on the javacript) > edit the category > How I save the changes?
So, my question is, what's the common path? I thought about sending the category and retrieving the id somehow and assign it to my object on js to be able to modify it later. The problem is that making a POST to the server doesn't return anything.
In the past I did something like that, send the object via post, save it, retrieve it and send it back, on the success method retrieve the id and assign it to the js object.
Thanks!
Tastypie comes with an always_return_data option for Resources.
When always_return_data=True for your Resource, the API always returns the full object event on POST/PUT, so that when you create a new object you can get the created ID on the same request.
You can then just read the response from your AJAX and decode the JSON (i dont know about knockout yet).
see the doc : http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-tastypie/en/latest/resources.html?highlight=always_return_data#always-return-data
Hope this helps
I want to use django's admin filter on the list page.
The models I have are something like this:
class Location(model):
name = CharField()
class Inquiry(Model):
name = CharFiled()
location = ManyToManyField(Location)
Now I want to filter Inquiries, to display only those that contain relation to specific Location object. If I use
class InqAdmin(ModelAdmin):
list_filter = ['location', ]
admin.site.register(Inquiry, InqAdmin)
the admin page displays me the list of all Locations and allows to filter.
What I would like to get, is to get list of only those locations that have some Inquiries in relation to them (so I don't ever get the empty list result after filtering).
How can this be done?
You could create a custom manager for Locations that only returns Locations that have an Inquiry associated with them. If you make this the default manager, the admin will use it.
Only caveat is that you'll need create another manager that returns all Locations and use that in the rest of your app whenever you want to retrieve Locations that don't have an associated Inquiry.
The managers section in the Django docs is quite good, and should be all you need to get this set up.
EDIT:
sienf brings up a good point. Another way to accomplish this would be to define a subclass of django.contrib.admin.SimpleListFilter, and write the queryset method to filter out Inquiries with empty Locations. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.list_filter
