How do I add a Task ID field in phabricator? - phabricator

I am trying to have the template of Phabricator's arc diff something similar to this:
Some title
Summary:
Reviewers:
TaskID: (← missing!)
Subscribers:
By default, Phabricator doesn't come with a "TaskID field". Is there any buildin support, or how do I achieve this?
Basically I want to associate a Task ID field with the actual Manifest Task's ID.

Use Ref T123 (links) or Fixes T123 (links, and closes when pushed) in the summary, or add Maniphest Tasks: T123 on its own line. This field is builtin, but the field is not shown by default because most users use the Ref/Fixes shorthand.
You could implement shouldAppearInCommitMessageTemplate() on DifferentialManiphestTasksField to force it to appear on the template. This may be a configurable option after https://secure.phabricator.com/T6030

Setting a global currency dropdown

I would like to setup a dropdown listing some currencies on all the pages of my website (Symfony 4.4).
The value set in this dropdown will then be used to adjust/convert the prices to the user's favorite currency.
I have been playing around some sessions parameters but it's not satisfactory. I feel like I need to place a hook in of the events, but I am not sure which event I should use.
I am thinking something like this
-- Request --
-- Event catcher --
If (currency not set in the session) then set currency to default (e.g. USD or EUR), I will probably base this on the user's locale
-- Send reply --
The tricky bit is to change the currency. I guess I need to set a route to change the session parameter and redirect to the current route.
I also thought about adding the currency in the route (which would be my favorite option), but I already have a language prefix (_locale) and I am not sure how I can apply multiple prefixes...
Thank you for any help or direction
For those interested, I ended up creating a Form that I called through a separate render query containing the new currency value and a redirect path to the current page.

User edits only its own post.Using Plone permisisons

I have a Plone website and create a menu item.
In the sharing tab I add each user that can post a topic.
How can I prevent that user1 edits posts owned by user2? Currently user1 can edit user2 posts.
Previously I try creating a group, assign each user to this group and add the group using the sharing tab, but in this way one user edit posts from another user.
Just subtract (uncheck) the 'Can edit'-permission of the sharing-tab.
The creator of an item is by default also owner, owners have edit-permission, thus users can edit their own items but not the ones of others.
Update (according to the new comment):
To inhibit the add-privilege on subfolders you'll need to break the inheritage of the Contributors-role, to which the 'Can add'-permission is assigned to.
However this seems not to be possible, yet. Quoting Martin Aspeli from his article "Understanding permissions and roles":
"Currently (until Plone 2.1, most likely), local roles can be added at a lower level in the acqusition tree, but not taken away".
So you need to look for another approach and, as Martijn already suggested, you'll most likely want to go with a custom workflow for your - assumingly folderish - contenttype and to all types that should be allowed to add in it (fortunately by default, Images and Files inherit the state of its parent, otherwise you probably have to think of a multi-chained workflow, but that's worth a new post even, or - ugly - create copies of contenttypes only to give them another workflow).
In that case, do as follows:
Create a workflow as adviced in http://developer.plone.org/content/workflow.html (I updated it lately, please let us know, if you have suggestions for improvements or contribute yourself).
Add the 'Add portal content'-permission to your workflow (in ZMI clickon your workflowname andhit the permissions-tab, select it from the dropdown).
For each state in your workflow (click on the state's name), uncheck 'Aquire permission settings', this way you break the inheritage of the Contibutors-role. Then check the 'Add portal content'-permission for each role you want to grant it, which would be at least the Owner-role in your case, and you might also Managers be able to access everything.
Update2:
Another, more challenging but IMHO much better, approach could be:
On your contenttype's inititialization (=your ct's class is called) trigger a script (f.e. with a contentrule/eventhandler/subscriber or in you ct's class-definition, itself), which looks up the inherited sharing-permissions on the parent, blocks them (__ac_local_roles_block__ = True) and reassign all roles again, but the Contributor's one, for the new born object (your folderish contenttype).
This would avoid creating a whole new workflow just to solve this case.
To do this, please read the docs (just updated, comments always welcome), to see how an event-handler is registrated:
http://developer.plone.org/components/events.html?highlight=events#example-register-an-event-handler-on-your-contenttype-s-creation
The executed python-script could contain s.th. like:
from Acquisition import aq_parent
def inhibit_parent_inherited_contributor_role(self, event):
""" Blocks local-roles on freshly created children in our
contenttype and re-assigns all its parent's local-roles but
'Contributor' to the child.
"""
# Block all inherited local-permissions, also of grand-parents:
self.__ac_local_roles_block__ = True
# Get local-roles assigned to parent and only to parent:
parent_roles = self.aq_parent.get_local_roles()
# Iterate over each assigned user and group to get their roles:
for userid, roles in parent_roles:
# Provide a list variable, to collect the new roles:
# of a group or user:
new_roles = []
# Iterate over the user's, respectively group's, roles:
for role in roles:
# Exclude 'Contributor' of new role-list:
if role != u'Contributor':
# Add all other roles to list of new roles:
new_roles.append(role)
# Finally assign new roles to the child for each found user and group:
self.manage_setLocalRoles(userid, new_roles)
Disclaimer:
I have tested this with IObjectEditedEvent, which works fine. Whereas the IObjectAddedEvent is fired four times (why?) and I wasn't able to tame that quickly, but plone.app.contentrules.handlers.py, does :) Have a closer look at it, maybe including a contentrule in the solution can be even better.
For an in-depth code-example about roles, see Andreas Jung's lovely zopyx.plone.cassandra and its computeRoleMap.py .
And I haven't looked at collective.subtractiveworkflow, yet. In case you do, please tell us about it :)
You need to restrict editing to the Owner role if you only want to have users edit their own content.

How are keywords in metadata stored?

I'm researching options to synchronize external data to a Category and Keyword list.
I have a metadata field with a states field that uses a category called US States.
When I preview my component with a simple XSLT component template (<xsl:copy-of select="." />), I can see:
<tcm:Content>
...
</tcm:Content>
<tcm:Metadata><Metadata xmlns="http://createandbreak.net/schema/generic">
<states>California</states>
<states>New York</states>
</Metadata></tcm:Metadata>
When I update the keyword and preview, I can see updated values.
<tcm:Content>
...
</tcm:Content>
<tcm:Metadata><Metadata xmlns="http://createandbreak.net/schema/generic">
<states>Californias</states>
<states>New York</states>
</Metadata></tcm:Metadata>
Which is great. It looks like we do not need to synchronize components (open, edit, and save) to use updated keywords. Is that a safe assumption?
If I update a keyword, do I need to update components that use it in order to publish component presentations with the updated values?
Do I need to also be careful when moving components with content porter?
No, you don't need to do anything manually for those Keyword fields to be "Content Porter"-safe. Tridion stores the link from your Keyword field to the Keyword definition (in the category) as a so-called managed link (a TCM URI).
The reason you don't see this value in your XSLT has to do with the way Tridion traditionally exposes the Keywords in WebDAV: it hides the TCM URIs there and instead just exposes the value of the selected keyword. Since Keyword values must be unique within their category, this will always allow you to look up the correct TCM URI if needed.
But when exporting (and in general when you're using the API to access content) you should retrieve the Component XML with the TCM URIs in place. Check the API documentation for your programming language to see which Filter/ReadOption you need to specify for that.

Take data from a field from exsisting node and make that the default value of a field in different content type

I don't know if I'm on the right track but I'm trying to let users of my web site create there own versions of pages on my web site.
Basically I'd like to make our documentation used as a starting point where they just add details and make a new page for themselves in the process.
I have a 'book' content type that I have changed with CCK and a 'client edits' content type that uses a nodereferencefromURL widget to link itself to the book node.
So simple version of what I'm saying is I have a link on my book pages that creates a node using client edits content type. I would like to put some fields on the client edits content type that take the values of some of the fields from the book page it is linked from.
I'm sure I'm missing something as I would have thought someone would have tried this before but I can't even find a hint on how to go about this.
All I really need is a point in the right direction if my current thinking is wrong.
Current thinking is that I use a php script to get the default value for a field on the new node add screen that drags the value for a field from the book I'm linking from.
I'm thinking this is the case because there is an option for default values for the field in cck manage fields that lets you put in a php value to return a default value for your field.
Am I on the right track or is there already a module or process that does what I'm talking about and I'm just too dumb to find it.
This sounds a little strange, are your client edits going to be a diff from the original node or just coppied data?
I would prehaps do it a more simple way, just have book nodes, and have different fields disaply depending on who edits it (enable the content_permissions module). That way you can use the node clone module to create the users copy.
You will need to make a module to contain your custom php code.
I ended up using rules to save information from the user and the cloned node into hidden fields.
One that saved the original node ID into a field when ever you create content of that type unless the url ends with Clone. This means that when you create the clone the original node ID is kept in the field.
That made it easy to use a views argument that took the node ID to make the clone appear along side the original when a user visits the original page.
The second rule trick was to compute a field that saved the "store name" from the profile of the user only when saving clone content.
This meant that there was a hidden field on the clone that stored the info so I could then use another views argument to restrict the view to only people with the same store name in their profile.
I am no good with PHP but I managed to find a snippet (can't remember where) that returns the store name of the current logged in user as the argument.
global $user;
profile_load_profile($user);
return $user->profile_store_name;

change user_profile_form form fields order

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.
