I'm attempting to create a collaborative jukebox as a little project to learn Meteor, so apologies for this very high-level noob question.
I need to be able to call the soundcloud SC.stream (see https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/sdks#streaming) function on multiple clients. The template all clients are looking at is binded to a object that looks something like:
room: {
title: "roomname"
currentlyPlaying: {
trackName: "track name"
trackStreamURL: "http://soundcloud/12345"
}
}
I can't seem figure out a way so that when a client, say the admin, sets a new currentlyPlaying to trigger all client to run SC.stream and start the new song.
I'm just not sure what the right meteor features are to use in this scenario, so i'm not looking for a code solution exactly, just a point in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Save the currently playing url in a document in a collection. Then use cursor.observe() or cursor.observeChanges() on the client to watch the document with the url in it. Do this inside a Tracker.autorun in block.
When the url changes, stop playing the previous tune and start playing the new one.
See here for documentation on cursor.observe().

I need to execute a function immediately when someone purchases a course or an order gets completed successfully. The function I am trying to execute is actually called an API. I don't see an appropriate Hook from LearnPress.
It works perfectly when I use "user_register"(when someone registers this hook fire) hook but it doesn't work when I use this "learn_press_confirm_order" hook given by LearnPress.
Do you guys know is there any appropriate way that I can follow and achieve this. Thank You for your time
First off, your Lime API key should be treated as a password - don't share it on the web! Go to your LimeLM Account right now, choose 'Settings', and choose 'Generate New Key'. I'll wait :)
There's nothing obviously wrong with your code, so I would debug it like this:
Put a die('setup'); immediately after the add_action. We want to be sure that this file is actually being called. If it is, remove the die.
Wordpress and LearnPress are fantastic, because you've got the source code. Go to wp-content/plugins/learnpress and type (on Linux or something *nix)
grep -R "learn_press_confirm_order" .
This will show you all the files that reference this action. There is only one:
./templates/order/confirm.php: transaction_method, $order->get_id() ); ?>
So pull up an editor and edit wp-content/plugins/learnpress/templates/order/confirm.php. You need to determine:
Whether the file is being run at all when you order. (Use die right at the top, or error_log if you can see your webserver/php log files.)
I'm fairly certain at this point you will have found the error, but there's a chance for some reason you're getting to this page, but the action isn't being called. So you might need to work out the exact flow of control on this confirm.php page. Again, die or error_log.
You can make live changes to the code of learnpress, to help you debug it. Most people are afraid to dig into other people's code, but that's the great power of open source. You can just reinstall learnpress when you're done.
Looking forward to hearing how it goes :)

Hi all,
I am using dynamics365 version 9.x
Using EasyRepro I can navigate into an account via the global search and then also use the xrmBrowser.Entity.ClickSubgridAddButton("foobar"); function to create a new record of that 'foobar' type. By doing this I know I am accessing the correct subgrid on the account record.
My question is....which function would I use to simply open up the record I have created. I have tried SelectSubgridLookup but I don't think that is the function I am looking for.
From the image you can see I have created the 'bonno bonno' contact but I cannot open the record using EasyRepro. any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hello #darthtang - sorry for the delayed reply to your post here. From reviewing, it appears this is a feature gap and needs to be enhanced.
While not ideal, if you wanted to open the record, you could try the following instead:
xrmBrowser.Entity.ClickSubgridGridViewButton(subgridName)
This should take you to the 'Associated View' via Related Navigation. From here, you could call:
optional:
xrmbrowser.Related.Search(contactrecordname);
xrmBrowser.Related.OpenGridRow(#)
At this point, you could then switch back to perform actions on the opened Contact entity record:
xrmBrowser.Entity.SomeMethod();
Please let me know if this set of steps help you with your scenario. I've added a feature enhancement to the backlog to allow opening of a record from a subgrid on a form.
I want to give my users the possibility to create document templates (contracts, emails, etc.)
The best option I figured out would be to store these document templates in mongo (maybe I'm wrong...)
I've been searching for a couple of hours now but I can't figure out how to render these document template with their data context.
Example:
Template stored in Mongo: "Dear {{firstname}}"
data context: {firstname: "Tom"}
On Tom's website, He should read: "Dear Tom"
How can I do this?
EDIT
After some researches, I discovered a package called spacebars-compiler that brings the option to compile to the client:
meteor add spacebars-compiler
I then tried something like this:
Template.doctypesList.rendered = ->
content = "<div>" + this.data.content + "</div>"
template = Spacebars.compile content
rendered = UI.dynamic(template,{name:"nicolas"})
UI.insert(rendered, $(this).closest(".widget-body"))
but it doesn't work.
the template gets compiled but then, I don't know how to interpret it with its data context and to send it back to the web page.
EDIT 2
I'm getting closer thanks to Tom.
This is what I did:
Template.doctypesList.rendered = ->
content = this.data.content
console.log content
templateName = "template_#{this.data._id}"
Template.__define__(templateName, () -> content)
rendered = UI.renderWithData(eval("Template.#{templateName}"),{name:"nicolas"})
UI.insert(rendered, $("#content_" + this.data._id).get(0))
This works excepted the fact that the name is not injected into the template. UI.renderWithData renders the template but without the data context...
The thing your are missing is the call to (undocumented!) Template.__define__ which requires the template name (pick something unique and clever) as the first argument and the render function which you get from your space bars compiler. When it is done you can use {{> UI.dynamic}} as #Slava suggested.
There is also another way to do it, by using UI.Component API, but I guess it's pretty unstable at the moment, so maybe I will skip this, at least for now.
Use UI.dynamic: https://www.discovermeteor.com/blog/blaze-dynamic-template-includes/
It is fairly new and didn't make its way to docs for some reason.
There are few ways to achieve what you want, but I would do it like this:
You're probably already using underscore.js, if not Meteor has core package for it.
You could use underscore templates (http://underscorejs.org/#template) like this:
var templateString = 'Dear <%= firstname %>'
and later compile it using
_.template(templateString, {firstname: "Tom"})
to get Dear Tom.
Of course you can store templateString in MongoDB in the meantime.
You can set delimiters to whatever you want, <%= %> is just the default.
Compiled template is essentially htmljs notation Meteor uses (or so I suppose) and it uses Template.template_name.lookup to render correct data. Check in console if Template.template_name.lookup("data_helper")() returns the correct data.
I recently had to solve this exact (or similar) problem of compiling templates client side. You need to make sure the order of things is like this:
Compiled template is present on client
Template data is present (verify with Template.template_name.lookup("data_name")() )
Render the template on page now
To compile the template, as #apendua have suggested, use (this is how I use it and it works for me)
Template.__define__(name, eval(Spacebars.compile(
newHtml, {
isTemplate: true,
sourceName: 'Template "' + name + '"'
}
)));
After this you need to make sure the data you want to render in template is available before you actually render the template on page. This is what I use for rendering template on page:
UI.DomRange.insert(UI.render(Template.template_name).dom, document.body);
Although my use case for rendering templates client side is somewhat different (my task was to live update the changed template overriding meteor's hot code push), but this worked best among different methods of rendering the template.
You can check my very early stage package which does this here: https://github.com/channikhabra/meteor-live-update/blob/master/js/live-update.js
I am fairly new to real-world programming so my code might be ugly, but may be it'll give you some pointers to solve your problem. (If you find me doing something stupid in there, or see something which is better done some other way, please feel free to drop a comment. That's the only way I get feedback for improvement as I am new and essentially code alone sitting in my dark corner).
Is there a way to open a specified document, eg "production order 123" or form, eg "purchase orders" in Ax2012 from an external application directly?
In detail, I'm looking for something similiar like AXPath, but this doesn't work with versions greater then 2009.
Is there any ( maybe included ) way to achieve this?
There is! It's using AX's drilldown functionality which uses AxHLink.exe to handle dynamics:// URLs, which are passed to the Classes\SysStartupCmd function. You could also create some custom code there if you wanted to launch the AX client executable directly.
My question I asked some while back should have a great deal of useful information in it here:
What handles dynamics:// URLs?
Some more can be found: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa834337.aspx
EDIT:
It sounds like you are confused or the posts weren't clear enough. I think you have 3 basic options.
Dynamics:// URLs are handled by AxHLink.exe and they only seem to handle drilldown, viewalert, and viewalertrule. So if you want to use Dynamics:// URLs, you will need to hi-jack those somehow. There is a pastbin from Jan in that other stack post.
Create a custom URI handler and event poller (lot of work) see http://axcoder.blogspot.dk/2010/10/how-to-open-form-in-running-ax-from.html
Extend SysStartupCmd and then instead of using Dynamics:// URLs, just call Ax32.exe -startupCmd directly and a parameter can be passed to your custom class.
For the life of me I can't make durandaljs work with Areas. I'm developing an application with multiple mini SPAs, but I'm not sure how to set up durandaljs to work with it. I wasn't able to find anything online that can drive me in the right direction. The only similar question I found was this one, which is very vague.
My goal is to separate each SPA within it's own folder like so:
App
--areas
----area1
------viewmodels
------views
----area2
------viewmodels
------views
The router doesn't seem to have the concept of areas and no matter how I map the routes I get 404s when I call router.activate('page1'); after mapping with router.mapRoute('page1'); durandal is trying to get /App/viewmodels/page1.js.
Changing it to:
router.mapRoute('areas/area1/viewmodels/page1');
router.activate('areas/area1/viewmodels/page1');
results in another 404 fetching App/viewmodels/areas/area1/viewmodels/page1.js
I've also tried many other combinations which I no longer remember and can't seem to get it to work.
Can someone please post a working example of how to setup durandaljs with the router plugin and multiple mini SPAs (areas)? A link to an article document would also suffice.
You can use viewLocator.useConvention - maybe something like this:
viewLocator.useConvention(
"areas/area1/viewmodels",
"areas/area1/views",
"areas/area1/templates"
);
One good thing to realize is that useConvention() works in conjunction with any existing require.config paths setting. In other words, if you set the require.config so that "viewModels" and "views" are mapped to the right folders, then all is well.
For example, the code snippet above is functionally equivalent to:
window.require.config({
paths: {
"viewModels": "areas/area1/viewmodels",
"views": "areas/area1/views",
"templates": "areas/area1/templates"
}
viewLocator.useConvention("viewmodels", "views", "templates");
I a similar structure implemented in my application. I think that you have to put this piece of code, to do the viewLocator works properly.
viewLocator.useConvention(); //You can do that in you main.js
You can see more information here: http://durandaljs.com/documentation/View-Locator/
Also I recommed you to look the code of viewLocator.js, especially, the code of useConventionMethod.
Other possibility is to override the method convertModuleIdToViewId, to make it works as you want. But I think that using useConvention methos is enought.
