Is there a way to programmatically create folders? - directory

Is there a way to programmatically create folders? There was a way to do it in lotus script - that method also was not documented in designer help. I want to get a document collection and then put the whole collection into a folder. I can see in the documentation that this will create the folder - I want to add columns to the folder. I suppose at worst I can open the folder after it has been created from the "put" command.

You can use ViewEntryCollection.PutAllInFolder method https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSVRGU_9.0.1/basic/H_PUTALLINFOLDER_METHOD_VEC_JAVA.html
The folder will be created from the view/folder flagged as "Default for new views/folders" property. To change its design, you can use createColumn method https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.0/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_CREATECOLUMN_METHOD_VIEW_JAVA.html

If you want to modify the design by adding columns, it will need to run with a ID that has at least Designer access to the database. ODA has a design API that can be used to create design elements via DXL. I've used it to create views, but folders should work the same.
If you don't need to modify the design, you can create a Shared Private on First Use folder by running as the user and calling getView(). I don't think that needs designer access, but it's worth double-checking.
Note: the ODA methods haven't been tested from SSJS. If it works, you're lucky, but the focus is Java.

Exporting AEM experience fragments to Adobe Target automatically every time a related Content Fragment is updated

I have this unique requirement where each time a particular Content Fragment is updated in AEM, all the Experience Fragments referencing that particular Content Fragment need to be automatically exported to Adobe Target.
Thinking about using SQL2 query to retrieve XFs referencing a particular CF and then incorporating this into a workflow process. Also, wondering if I can leverage aem OOTB workflow process called "Export to Target" in this.
Not really sure of how to call this "Export to Target" process on each Experience Fragment that we need to export to Target or is this possible at all?
Wondering if anyone has ever come across this requirement and succeeded.
Highly appreciate any tips or suggestions in this regard. Many Thanks in advance.
Whenever a Content Fragment is created or updated an OSGi event is triggered. All events are logged under http://localhost:4502/system/console/events. You could write a EventListener or EventHandler, get the path of the event, get the Resource and adapt it to com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm.ContentFragment. The topic for these events is "com/day/cq/dam" or in this constant.
From the adapted Class or Resource you can get informations about the model and if it's the model you want to process.
To find all references I would also create an oak index and use SQL2 query to find all references.
The query would be something like this:
select [jcr:path], [jcr:score], * from [nt:base] as a where contains(*, '"/content/dam/myReferencedModel"')
If you have all referencing XF's you can kick off any workflow via WorkflowService:
    #Reference
    private WorkflowService workflowService;
        WorkflowSession wfSession = workflowService.getWorkflowSession(session);
        WorkflowModel wfModel = wfSession.getModel("/var/workflow/models/mymodel");
        WorkflowData wfData = wfSession.newWorkflowData("JCR_PATH", "/payload");
        wfSession.startWorkflow(wfModel, wfData);

Use of struct in CAPL CANalyzer

I'm writing a piece of code to simulate some stuff of diagnostic.
I've created with CANalyzer, a panel with tons of information that need to be shown using a picklist (called combobox)
What I want to do is to create a giant array of that struct that need to be selected using the SPN combobox (the picklist) , and the other parameters of the struct/object need to populate the other elements of the panel.
Is this possible without doing a tons of SysSetVariableInt or SysSetVariableString for each element?
Before I was doing this stuff using another technique, I parse the file with all the information that are stored in a giant matrix, then I use the method "on sysvar update" on the variable associated to the SPN picklist, to get the index of that, so I search for that index in the matrix, then I use the SysSetVariableInt or others, to set the values to the elements in the panel.
To populate the picklist I've found a pretty nice method "sysSetVariableDescriptionForValue" that helps to add elements, but the problem with this method, is that if you want to change elements, you can just overwrite, and not change all...so, if in a next iteration you push less element in the picklist, you will see also the old ones.
With "sysSetVariableDescriptionForValue" you basically are writing via code, the value table of that sysvariable, and is not possible (according to Vector), be flushed, on runtime... :/
I would love to do this thing using another approach, maybe with the struct is possible...i really don't know.
Any help will be very appreciated!
Regards!
TLDR; build a tool to create a .sysvar file from a structured input (comma-separated for instance), run it, get the .sysvar file and link it to the CANalyzer configuration.
I once had to create the entire testing interface with some components of the software. We didn't have a structured release procedure, and the test environment was rebuilt every time from scratch based on the new internal software interfaces. I too had to add hundreds of variables.
My solution was to generate .sysvar files programatically outside CANalyzer. Links to the .sysvar files are symbolic in the CANalyzer configuration, meaning if a file by the right name is in the right location, that file is going to be loaded.
What I want to do is to create a giant array of that struct that need
to be selected using the SPN combobox (the picklist) , and the other
parameters of the struct/object need to populate the other elements
of the panel. Is this possible without doing a tons of
SysSetVariableInt or SysSetVariableString for each element?
Create an external script to generate the .sysvar file. In the end it is just an xml file, you may study the structure of a demo one you save. Then, import that file in the CANalyzer config. You may need to close/re-open the configuration in case the .sysvar file changes.
PROs: no need to write a complicated CAPL script and update it every time a variable changes.
CONs: you must have a source for all the information, even a simple excel sheet, with all the description and such, and you have to create a tool that accepts the input file (let's assume a .csv file) and turns it into a .xml file with .sysvar extension instead.

How to list/manipulate document bookmarks from within a Visual Studio extension?

I plan to develop an extension for Visual Studio that manipulates the document bookmarks. Basically, I want to be able to list the existing bookmarks, to create new ones and to remove any of the existing ones, for the whole solution.
The only place where I have found bookmark manipulation capabilities is the TextSelection interface: it has ClearBookmark, SetBookmark, PreviousBookmark and NextBookmark methods; but these don't seem to be what I need, as they work for individual text selections only.
So, is there any other (solution wide) way to manipulate document bookmarks from within a Visual Studio extension? Or am I missing something and these existing methods actually provide the functionality that I need?
The bookmark information stored in .suo file. So you could read the .suo file with IVsPersistSolutionOpts Interface.
It contains ReadUserOptions(IStream, String), SaveUserOptions(IVsSolutionPersistence) and WriteUserOptions(IStream, String) methods. You could use them to manage the bookmarks in your solution.
The following article provide a complete sample which could list and manage all bookmarks by creating a Bookmark class that represents a bookmark and a BookmarkManager class that keeps a dictionary (bookmark number is the key and the object of the Bookmark class is the value) of all bookmarks which are accessible through the public property Bookmarks

Re-Scaffold views after changing their model

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and ASP.Net MVC 5. I've created a bunch of views for my models and then I've changed them. I want to run scaffolding on some models and create some views automatically and then change the automatically-generated views. Is there another way other than re-naming some files or creating another solution and copying stuff?
Yes, you can re-scaffold by scaffolding the same model again, using the same model class and controller names as before. Your existing controller and views will be replaced.
Details:
Right click on your project or controller folder,
Add ... New Scaffolded Item,
MVC 5 Controller with views using Entity Framework,
Add
Choose your model and data class,
And ensure your controller name is the same as the one to replace.
I use version control - GIT to do it quickly and safely. I use Git Extensions (http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/) user interface for git.
Have your code commited before re-scaffolding. Then re-scaffold the views, and go to staging (the button Commit in Git Extensions). It shows all changes that re-scaffold made and colors the new and deleted code lines. From there you can stage only the selected new lines, that changed in controller. After staging selected lines, reset the unstaged other changes.
There you have it! Your already modified code with new scaffolded parts. Do any edits and testing necessary and commit.
This is a new answer to an old question. It's somewhat similar to the existing answers, but I think different enough and easy enough to be of value.
1) Save the existing project/solution to version control just as good practice.
2) When re-scaffolding, use a different controller name which will create a controller class and it's 5 attendant views, but it won't overwrite anything that exists, preserving all your existing work.
3) Extract the appropriate methods from the re-scaffolded controller. Bindings for create/edit will likely change when the model changes, so capture those. Then delete the re-scaffolded controller.
4) That leaves the views in place to copy and paste the appropriate UI code for any new or redefined model properties. Once all the code needed has been copied, simply delete the re-scaffolded views.
It was a great question because we often have to change a model, and it's nice to have all the basic UI stuff automatically created for us.

How to override record table naming to access existing data in Orchard CMS

I need to access data from pre-existing tables. I've started working my way through creating a module to display the data etc. However, Orchard is prefixing the table commands with the 'Table_Prefix' and 'Module Name'.
Is there any way I can specify what table to bind the model, so that I can use the existing IRepository
I'm trying to steer clear of modifying the core code, or implement my own IRepository ( which I've got a feeling is what I'm going to have to do.)
Thanks in advance.
You can create custom table naming convention (so that it would fit your current naming) by altering the core code, in three ways:
Record name mapping is created in BuildRecord method of
CompositionStrategy class
(Orchard.Framework/Environment/ShellBuilders/CompositionStrategy), so you can simply modify the code here.
By altering the Apply method of Orchard.Data.Conventions.RecordTableNameConvention class. This is where the record table name mappings (built in point 1.) get pushed to NHibernate.
Create your own implementation of FluentNHibernate.Conventions.IClassConvention (similar to RecordTableNameConvention mentioned above and replace the default one used by AutoMap in Orchard.Data.Providers.AbstractDataServicesProvider's CreatePersistenceModel(...) method with it.
You could also create your own IDataServicesProvider implementation, but that would surely be an overkill if you only need to change the table naming convention.
I was modifying CompositionStrategy and discovered that you have to modify the following
1. SetupService.cs (Modules\Orchard.Setup\Services):
Tables hardcoded in the Setup method are
"Orchard_Framework_DataMigrationRecord" and
"Settings_ShellDescriptorRecord"
2. InfosetController.cs (Modules\Upgrade\Controllers):
Multiple tables were hardcoded in this class which need to be updated.
3. DataMigrationManager.cs (Data\Migration):
Replace the SchemaBuilder parameters to the contructor.
