How to override the default text in MATLAB - templates

In MATLAB, when you click File -> New -> Function M-File, you get a file with the following contents:
function [ output_args ] = Untitled( input_args )
%UNTITLED Summary of this function goes here
% Detailed explanation goes here
end
Is it possible to override this behaviour, and specify your own text?
(The motivation is that I'm trying to persuade my colleagues to document their m-files more thoroughly, and having default text for them to fill in might encourage them.)

I didn't even know File->New->Function did that.
The way I solved the issue was to write a function that you call via
>>newFunction myNewFunctionName
It then
pops up an inputdlg window, which asks the user for the synopsis and the H1 line and allows to already write help to explain input and output arguments. There, the user also selects whether myNewFunctionName is a function or a class in order to choose the right header and 'function call'
checks whether a function of the same name exists already
asks for a folder to save the function, and
opens the function in the editor
The header is set up so that it's easy to fill in info about input and output. It also automatically lists the username of the person who created the file as well as the date and the Matlab version.
EDIT
For new classes, the template function automatically makes sure that they subclass my general superclass that implements methods such as 'help' (which calls doc(class(obj)) )
Now if the template functionwould also write the algorithm part of the function, it would be really convenient. :)
EDIT2
Here's a link to the function on the file exchange.

I would suggest making your own default m-file template, called default.m for example, and placing it in a folder on the MATLAB path where your colleagues can access it. You should then set the file to be read-only. Your colleagues can then execute any one of the following commands in the MATLAB Command Window when they want to create a new function m-file:
open default.m
open('default.m')
edit default.m
edit('default.m')
The functions OPEN and EDIT will open a file in the MATLAB Editor. Since the file default.m is read-only, if anyone tries to save over it they will get a dialog box warning them as such and asking them to save to a new file (or overwrite it). That should keep them from accidentally modifying the template.

I searched through all text files starting from matlabroot folder, but could not find that template. Seems it's hard-coded, which is weird.
I like Jonas approach. As my two cents, you can download a function (not mine) doing similar things with some customization from here.

After more pondering, I've come up with a solution that I'm happy with, combining Jonas' and gnovice's answers. It's a function that creates a new m-file (with template documentation), and opens it in the editor. It is available from the Matlab Central File Exchange.

How to get a list of members out of an IBM i file?

New to using IBM i here, and haven't been able to find the solution to this problem in the Knowledge Base.
I have a library. Inside that library I have a file. Inside that file I have several members. Every member is a .c file.
What I want to do is write a .cpp that looks inside that file at the members, get each member's name, and then run CL stuff with the member.
Using qp0z1170.h I am confident I know how to run the CL commands, but I can not seem to figure out how to iterate through the list of members and get their names.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You could do a DSPFD to get the member list to an outfile...
DSPFD FILE(LIB/FILE) TYPE(*MBRLIST) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(LIB/TARGET)
Sounds like you're dealing with a source physical file (PF-SRC)...
Luckily, a PF-SRC is still a database table..
Just use the List Database File Members (QUSLMBR) API
Note that it returns data via a user space...so you're going to need to use the *USRSPC API's to process the data.
Create User Space (QUSCRTUS) API
Change User Space Attributes (QUSCUSAT) API
Retrieve Pointer to User Space (QUSPTRUS) API
Delete User Space (QUSDLTUS) API
You can find include files for the IBM API's in the H file in the QSYSINC library.
I'd post some code, but I've only ever used the APIs from RPG.

How to use the original filename in a multi file template in resharper?

I have a multi file template in resharper and I can use $NAME$ macro to get the name of the original file to use to name the other files in the template. But I also want to use the $NAME$ of the original file in the content of the other file template.
Is this possible? I can't see a macro which seems suitable for the internal variables as onlt the Current File Name seems available.
Anyone know if this is possible or how I might workaround this?
As a workaround, you may create a parameter $FILENAME$ (macro "Current file name without extension") in the first file e.g. in the comments, like:
class Foo
{
//$FILENAME$
}
Then you may call this parameter in other files of the multifile template - this parameter will contain the name of the first file since the first file will be generated before other ones.
Unfortunately, there isn't a macro that will give you this. I've added a feature request that you can vote on and track (and more specific detail as to what your requirements are would be useful) - http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-415055
It is possible to write your own macros as part of a plugin, but there isn't a sure-fire way of getting the name of the first document in the created file set. The IHotspotSessionContext instance that is passed to the macro via IHotspotSession.Context property includes an enumerable of IDocument, from which you can get IDocument.Moniker, which will be the full path for file based documents. However, there's no guarantee of the order of the enumerable - it's backed by a hashset. You might be able to rely on implementation details (small set, no removes) to be able to use the first document as the original, but there is really no guarantee of this.

Is there anyway to rename the "Source" button to something like "HTML"?

Is there anyway to rename the "Source" button to something like "HTML", I ask this as users are confused at how to add html code using the editor?
Yes, inside of the "lang" folder you will see all of the various language files.
For my case, and probably yours, You will want to edit the file "en.js". The file is "compressed" to some degree so it may be difficult to read, but it's still not too difficult to change one string. If you do plan on changing multiple strings you will most likely want to use a service to format Javascript.
Search for the following segment of code. It was one of the very last lines in the file.
"sourcearea":{"toolbar":"Source"}
change it to
"sourcearea":{"toolbar":"HTML"}
Avoid This Method Unless Required
And as for a very unsuggested method, since you can't modify the language files for some reason, you can modify the ckeditor.js file and force a specific label.
Inside of "ckeditor.js" change the line below
a.ui.addButton("Source",{label:a.lang.sourcearea.toolbar,command:"source",toolbar:"mode,10"});
to the follow code
a.ui.addButton("Source",{label:"HTML",command:"source",toolbar:"mode,10"});
The only thing modified is the "label" value in the above line. We remove the reference to the a.language.sourcearea.toolbar and insert a string in it's place instead.

QPixmap::save() returns successful, but yields no file

The docs say this should work:
bool did=pixmap.save( "hoppy.png" );
qDebug("did is: %d",did);
My logging returns 1 suggesting, as per docs, that the save was successful. However, no file appears on my drive. According to the docs, this save() should indeed save a file, so what is missing?
According to the docs, this save() should indeed save a file, so what is missing?
Nothing missing; it is simply saved to the folder of where you run the qt executable from. If it is a direct invocation, then it is beside the executable, otherwise it is beside the script or other program that calls the qt executable (sure, the other program could modify the current working directory, but let us forget about that for a bit).
If that is not what you would like to do, you better use an absolute path to the location where you wish to save it. However, if it is some common location, consider using QStandardPaths.
Another answer notes:
Nothing missing; it is simply saved to the folder of where you run the qt executable from
However my question indicated that this is actually not the case here.
Using the full path rather than a relative path or instead of using the ~ character, resolved it.

woocommerce advanced templating

i´m developing a theme and for some reason i need to move the default position for breadcrubms (also for many other things) over woocommerce themes. Then i realised to do something like this on my functions.php:
function woocommerce_remove_breadcrumb(){
remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_breadcrumb', 20);
}
add_action('woocommerce_before_main_content', 'woocommerce_remove_breadcrumb');
function woocommerce_custom_breadcrumb(){
woocommerce_breadcrumb();
}
add_action( 'woo_custom_breadcrumb', 'woocommerce_custom_breadcrumb' );
And then on any template file, output the breadcrumb just with:
<? do_action('woo_custom_breadcrumb'); ?>
And works. My question is more than that. Is this the correct approach for something like this? I mean for anything over woocommerce, not just breadcrumb, for any pice, ratings, titles, buttons, sidebar, and so on.
What i´m thinking on is why woocommerce templates don´t come with more deep code. I mean, why there´s no such a single-content-loop.php template where you can just change the order of things, title, category, content, images, etc. in an easy way rather that hooking into functions?
I think that is an acceptable way to call the breadcrumbs explicitly. Sometimes it is easier to call a specific function than remove everything around it!
As for changing the order of things and getting into advanced customization; there isn't a single file, but a number of files working together. Create a folder in your themes root called 'woocommerce' and copy the following files for a safe override:
woocommerce/woocommerce-hooks.php:
Here are your hooks, including the ones you are overriding in your themes functions.php. Here is where you can experiment with removing and repositioning certain elements on your product page. Search for 'Sidebar' and you will see where the 'woocommerce_sidebar' action is added with the function it references in...
woocommerce/woocommerce-template.php:
Here are the functions used in template files to output content based on conditional statements. For instance, search for the 'Single Product' series and you can see which template files are used for which functions. For instance 'woocommerce_template_single_title' uses 'single-product/title.php' - if you copy over this folder and file you can make very specific edits to just the title section
Between these two files and their accompanying references (like title.php) I believe you can do the things you described. Let me know how it works out! I'm new to woocommerce too!
