Append additional event data for RSS in plone - rss

I'd like to customize the rss feed in plone, and append information about the location, contact person, email address and phone number of an event.
Modifying the RSS.pt template I managed to add the start date:
<dc:date tal:content="python: item.context.start()"></dc:date>
But I don't know how to access the other things (guessing like item.context.mail etc doesn't work).
Can someone give me a hint about their names, or how to find information about the context attributes and their correct names?
Using Plone4.3

Be careful, if you list something that is not an event, item.context.start() will raise an error.
You can find the schema here : https://github.com/plone/Products.ATContentTypes/blob/master/Products/ATContentTypes/content/event.py

Filter at event viewer by data

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 :-)

How to format Alfresco'API parameter activityFilter in servce user activities feed ?

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.

Yahoo Pipes - Build an RSS-URL using specific parameters pulled from another RSS feed's content

The main Data Type used by Yahoo Pipes is the [Item], which is RSS feed content. I want to take an RSS's content or sub-element, make it into [Text] (or a number might work), and then use it as an INPUT into a [Module] to build a RSS-URL with specific parameters. I will then use the new RSS-URL to pull more content.
Could possibly use the [URL Builder Module] or some work-around.
The key here is using "dynamic" data from an RSS feed (not user input, or a static data), and getting that data into a Data Type that is compatible (and/or accessible) as an INPUT into a module.
It seems like a vital functionality, but I cannot figure it out. I have tried many, many work-around attempts, with no success.
The Specific API and Methods (if you are interested)
Using the LastFM API.
1st Method: user.getWeeklyChartList. Then pick the "from" (start) and "to" (end) Unix timestamps from 1 year-ago-today.
2nd Method: user.getWeeklyAlbumChart using those specific (and "dynamic") timestamps to pull my top albums for that week.
tl;dr. Build an RSS-URL using specific parameters from another RSS feed's content.
I think I may have figured it out. I doubt it is the best way, but it works. The problem was the module I needed to use didn't have and input node. But the Loop module has an input node, so if I embed the URL builder into the Loop module I can then access sub-element content from the 1st feed to use as parameters to build the URL for the 2nd feed! Then I can just scrap all the extra stuff generated by the Loop, by using Truncate.

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;

How can I add more information to MS Dynamics 2009 AX's alert messages with X++?

Does anyone have some sample code or can direct me to which class I can modify to add more information to the alert messages in Dynamics AX (DAX). I want to for instance add a vendor number and userid when a name of a vendor has been changed.
EDIT: I have been told by someone that HTML code must be entered in the description panel when setting up the alert. If this is true and anyone has more info on this it would be great if you could share this info.
Thanks in advance.
There's an article on Technet that shows the merge-data elements you can use in an e-mail template.
To add a new merge-data element, you will need to modify the class EventActionEmail. The method createEmailParameterMap returns a map containing the elements and the data to replace them with. The execute method passes that map to SysEmailTable::sendMail to actually format and send the email.
