I don't understand how to make the Client ui aware of a server side change in a document.
My use case is the following : I'm adding a button to my form, that calls a custom document method :
In MyDocType.py, I have :
class MyDocType(Document):
#frappe.whitelist()
def change_some_value_in_doc(self):
self.the_field_i_want_to_change = 50
It work in the sense that the_field_i_want_to_change is immediately updated to the new value.
However, If I hit Save, I get the message "No changes in document". I managed to determine that this is because on the JS side, the form is not marked as "dirty", but despite reading the documentation over and over, I cannot find the right way.
I tried with self.notify_update() which seems to have no effect.
Is it a bug ? Or am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work ?
I'm using frappe v 14.0.0-beta.3
[EDIT]
Actually, I realized that doing
class MyDocType(Document):
#frappe.whitelist()
def change_some_value_in_doc(self):
self.the_field_i_want_to_change = 50
self.save()
Does work in the sense that it save the new value, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for, because my purpose is actually to pre-fill some data with the custom method and leave to the user to complete before saving...
Any help to get me in the right direction would be very appreciated.
To pre-fill data in your form - that you want the user to confirm before saving to the database, you should use client-side scripting (in JS). Changing the value on the server is not going to help you since you want the user to get pre-filled values before inserting a record in the database.

I want to get event entries by their description (data).
I know how to get the event entry with a certain description, however I want to get an entry whith a description which contains a string (not equals to it).
That, I don't know how to do.
Please help :)
According to my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34119006/5089204 you should be able to retrieve EventRecords.
Dealing with these events is a quite complex issue... Each event has its own internal structure. The common properties are bundled in EventRecord, but the specific data must be taken from the internal details. Use the ToXml() method of an EventRecord...
In order to get the right events you must define an EventLogQuery. You must know the Provider's name and specify the filter.
Try the following: Open eventvwr and there the Windows-System queue. Right click one event, open the "Details" and choose the "XML-View". Look over different events and you will find, that they are quite differing.
But: You'll find everything you need there: First the "Provider Name" and the "EventId", these two are most important for the `EventLogQuery'.
Now go to the "define a user filter on the current protocoll"-action and type in some values. Then switch to the filter's XML and you'll learn how to define the correct query.
I'm sorry, there is no "easy and general" approach :-)
I need to use that api : http://docs.alfresco.com/4.0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.alfresco.enterprise.doc%2Freferences%2FRESTful-FeedUserfeedGet.html
What I don't know is how to format activityFilter parameter ? What kind of things can I filter ? I'd like to set a max number of results, is it possible ?
I don't know where to find the documentation.
Thank you.
Mathieu.
I don't know where/if the list is documented, but it isn't hard to find out the values you are looking for...
The first place to go is the Web Script Index, which is:
http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/index
From there you can find that web script, click on its ID, and see its declaration, any accompanying documentation, and, often, the code of the web script controller.
In this case, the controller is Java-based, so you can get its class and go look at that in the source.
Often, that's not convenient. So the next thing to do is to realize that Alfresco Share makes use of the same web script. If you turn on Firebug and go to the Alfresco Share Global Dashboard you can see the activity feed dashlet. As you change the second dropdown (the one that defaults to "all items") you will see your browser doing GETs against that web script. By choosing the various choices available in the dashlet, you'll see that the values it uses to filter activities are:
org.alfresco.comments.comment-created
org.alfresco.comments.comment-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.file-updated
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-added
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-deleted
org.alfresco.documentlibrary.files-updated
org.alfresco.profile.status-changed
org.alfresco.site.user-joined
org.alfresco.site.user-left
org.alfresco.site.user-role-changed
You can pass more than one of these at-a-time to the web script by separating each with an escaped comma (%2C).
There may be more filters available, but those are the ones used by the activity feed dashlet on the global dashboard.
We have a REST Service and Dojo DataGrid that does not save the changes to editable columns on the initial load -- meaning the XPage loads and changes are made. The only way the changes are saved is after the close() or revert() method for the REST service is called, then the save() method is called. The REST Service is pointing to another database on the same server, and uses the keys property:
<xe:restService id="rsVictims" pathInfo="rsVictimsData">
<xe:this.service>
<xe:viewItemFileService defaultColumns="true"
viewName="InvoiceGridVictims" contentType="application/json"
databaseName="voca\vocadatastore.nsf" keys="k28ts71zrjsw">
</xe:viewItemFileService>
</xe:this.service>
</xe:restService>
Here is the DataGrid:
<xe:djxDataGrid id="djxDataGrid1" storeComponentId="rsVictims"
autoHeight="90">
<xe:djxDataGridColumn id="djxDataGridColumn1"
label="Target" width="35px" field="victimTarget">
</xe:djxDataGridColumn>
<xe:djxDataGridColumn id="djxDataGridColumn2"
label="Oct" width="35px" field="month_10" editable="true">
</xe:djxDataGridColumn>
</xe:djxDataGrid>
It flows like this:
Open the XPage with the REST service and DataGrid
Make changes to the editable columns
Click the Save button which calls this code (code is copied from Brad Balassaitis' demo, 06 Custom Control):
<xp:button value="Save Changes" id="victimsSaveButton">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[// Save the changes...
editedRows = [-1];
var args = {onError: function() {alert('error!');}};
rsVictims.save(args);
//Refresh the grid
rsVictims.close();
dijit.byId('#{id:djxDataGrid1}')._refresh();]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
DataGrid is closed, refreshed, but changes are NOT saved
Make changes again and click the Save button
DataGrid is closed, refreshed, and changes are now saved
What I have noticed is that the DataGrid is loaded twice when the XPage is opened -- I see this is Firebug in the Net tab. On the first GET, it retrieves the grid correctly -- the Response is correct, the JSON is formatted correctly, and the start=0 with a count=25.
On the second GET, it seems to lose the grid -- the Response is empty, the JSON items is empty, and the start=25 with the count=25. I have tried setting the start property in the REST Service to 0, but that does not do anything. I have tried setting the count property to 500 as well, but that does not fix it either.
The interesting fact about this is, when the view is moved inside the current database -- so the databaseName property on the REST Service is not used -- the Save button works perfectly. Also, there is only one GET when loading the DataGrid, not two GETs when pointing to a view in another database on the same server. I know there are some issues when looking to another server, but these databases are on the same server.
I know I have posted about this topic before, but I did not get an answer that worked. I am hoping this sheds some more light on what I may be missing.
Thanks in advance!
Dan,
I have nearly an identical situation in my current project. I have mine working perfect so I think I can help. I assume that you already took Per Lausten's suggestion in your previous SO. You wouldn't be able to save at all if you didn't.
The difference between your code and mine is that I am using a xe:viewJSONService instead of a xe:viewFileItemService. The extention library book says that you have to use the viewFileItem if you want it updatable, but this is NOT true.
I had nothing but trouble with the viewItemFileService, see this blog post for the issues I had (http://notesspeak.blogspot.com/2013/07/going-with-extjs-grid-and-giving-up-on.html) I nearly gave up entirely on the dojo grid, but came back to it because it works on mobile.
Using the viewJSONService just works. Instead of a keys property, use the category filter. For you category have code similar to this:
var category:String = lineItemBean.getThisUNID();
if(category == null){
return "show nothing"
} else {
return lineItemBean.getThisUNID();
}
//prevents all records from being returned
You need to be careful, because if the category is null, all records are returned, which could be a big problem or security hole. In my example, I pull from a bean, but you could put a document reference there as well.
I don't understand how QTable::editCell() should be used. I am trying to do some error checking based on entries made by user in a QTable as mentioned in my another question.
I would like to give user an opportunity to re-edit the cell which has error. For example, if name column entry has some special characters such as '(', the user should be prompted for the error and the control should go back to same cell in edit mode. I tried using QTable::editCell() in my code as shown below.
Table->editCell(row, 0, TRUE);
name = Table->text(row, 0);
However, this doesn't work as expected. The control doesn't stay in the cell at all and obviously the name is not correctly collected. So, my question is how to ensure from within code that a cell of QTable can be edited so that the edited contents can be accessed immediately in next statement (as shown in above code).
Note: I am working with qt 3.3.8 only.
I don't think you can do that. You'll have to go back to the event loop, and wait for one of the signals (like valueChanged(row,col)) to be fired to re-validate the data.
A blocking wait on a GUI object is often not a good approach (except for modal dialogs).
I know I'm a little late here but you should use the following connect statement with your own custom function to do your specific needs such as below. You can also use this method to disable users from entering in special characters within you custom function. That way they wont ever have to correct undesirable characters.
connect(ui->tableWidget, SIGNAL(cellChanged(int,int)), this, SLOT(customFunction(int,int)));
void updateTable
{
//remove invalid characters
}
When a user login , the user will be redirect to a user profile page, which has a My account field set.
the field set has 2 fields, "Username: ", "Email address:". those 2 fields are generated by drupal.
those 2 field contained in a form which has a id ("user_profile_form") . I want to change the order of those 2 fields.
I have tried to intercept 'user_profile_form' , inside hook_form_alter.
code as follow:
$form['account']['name']['#weight'] = 1;
but that did not success, drupal did not even rendering the 'name' field, so no username: showed on browser.
What you did is absolutely correct, and probably did work. You can change the weight of the fields with the method described above.
The username field is not always rendered. The reason is that a persmission is required: change own username. If that perm is not set, you wont be allowed to alter you username and the field wont be shown.
Info on debugging.
Your info alone is not quite enough to debug. From what you describe, you are doing the right thing, but other modules could be making things a bit tricky for you. The devel module is quite good when it comes to debugging, ti defines two functions I use a lot when debugging:
dpm() pretty prints the variable to the message area using krumo.
dd() Prints / saves a variable to a log file. Useful when you can't view messages on the screen.
I would suggest that you look at the $form variable before and after you alter it.
Things that could make it go wrong:
Did you remember to pass the $form variable by reference using the & notation?
Is another module altering your form after you?
Are you checking for the correct form id, so you alter the correct form?
These are some pointers, before you bring more info, all I can do is guess to what your problem exactly can be. I did something like this a few days ago so I know what you describe shouldn't be a problem.
