I was having old tridion 2009 trigger, this is the code:
CREATE TRIGGER My_TABLE ON [ITEMS]
FOR INSERT
AS
INSERT INTO My_TABLE(ACTION, PUBLICATION_ID, ITEM_REFERENCE_ID, ITEM_TYPE, LAST_PUBLISHED_DATE, URL, SCHEMA_ID)
SELECT 'ADD', PUBLICATION_ID, ITEM_REFERENCE_ID, ITEM_TYPE, LAST_PUBLISHED_DATE, URL, SCHEMA_ID
FROM inserted
In tridion 2009 URL and SCHEMA_ID where part of ITEMS table, however when we upgrade to Tridion 2011 SP1, these columns do no longer exist in the ITEMS table.
SCHEMA_ID is moved to the COMPONENT table, I am little curious how to get the URL for each type of items (page, component etc. do we need to use link_info table to get url)
Just let me know which table would be used to get the URL as it was in ITEMS table before
Thanks.
There's a reason why Database details are never documented: SDL does not support access to that data at this level.
You have a pretty rich API to retrieve the data you need whenever you need it, and this allows SDL to constantly improve the database layer without having to worry about implementation support.
In your case, it might help if you explain a few things here...
Which Database is this? Reading the column names it looks like it's a Content Delivery database?
Why do you want to store the published URL? It's already there.
In case it's not clear yet, you should use the Linking classes to get the URL, not the LINK_INFO table. A properly setup environment will cache these values so you don't need to worry about any database impact. If this is not yet enough, and you really do need a custom table with custom values, then consider using a Deployer Extension that populates your table(s) as needed.

I have a website (bootleg/css) I put together. I am currently implementing user registration but I am having troubles determining the best way to go about the following:
I have users that will be entering their teammates, and themselves into a tournament (via a form). That's the easy part. Once the users have input their info, I'd like the webpage to populate with the registered team in a designated area. The structure as so:
(Registration form)
TEAM NAME
Member 1
Member 2
Member 3
Member 4
I want it to take TEAM NAME and display it in a specific section of a webpage for those registered. Like so:
(Displayed as so)
REGISTERED TEAMS:
Slayers
Dominatrix

I am most familiar with css and html, but I am willing to work with php as long as it can be injected into the current site. I have a MySQL server setup and can edit it further. I've done a LOT on the design side, but not too much on the scripting side until recently so go easy on me.
You can do this by simply using PHP and MySQL.As you said,you are familiar with MySQL,I would give you the outline to do this.
Make a table for the registered users,Insert data to MySQL Database using INSERT Query in MySQL.
INSERT INTO Table_name (id,member_name,member_age,...) VALUE ('','$name','$age',...)
You can select all the values using SELECT Query from Database Table,and echo it on HTML part,where you want to show the result.
SELECT * FROM Table_name
I have a simple SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 Broker Query to retrieve a list of Component URIs. All of my Components are embedded on Pages, and not using Dynamic Component Templates. The following code returns 50 results (which is to be expected). One of which is the URI tcm:123-456-16.
List<Criteria> criteria = new List<Criteria>();
criteria.Add(new ItemTypeCriteria(16));
criteria.Add(new PublicationCriteria(337));
Query query = new Query(CriteriaFactory.And(criteria.ToArray<Criteria>()));
String[] results = query.ExecuteQuery();
The Component tcm:123-456-16 is based on a Schema with the name “News Portal”. I would like to add additional criteria to my query so that I only get items based on that Schema, so I tried the following code:
List<Criteria> criteria = new List<Criteria>();
criteria.Add(new ItemTypeCriteria(16));
criteria.Add(new PublicationCriteria(337));
criteria.Add(new SchemaTitleCriteria("News Portal"));
Query query = new Query(CriteriaFactory.And(criteria.ToArray<Criteria>()));
String[] results = query.ExecuteQuery();
This returns no results at all. I have double checked my Schema name. Is this response expected? Does the SchemaTitleCriteria require the Components to be published as Dynamic Component Presentations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Yes and No on DCPs. You don't need to have all your components published as Dynamic Component Presentations (DCPs). We noticed the same and observed that if you don't publish at least one DCP based on the schema, the schema title does not get published into Schemas table of the Tridion Broker DB (not sure it is by design). Once you publish one DCP based on the schema, the schema title is stored and subsequent queries work, but until you publish that first one you will not get any.
However in practical scenario, you do broker queries to get the dcps so you should not see this behavior except a mistake or someone missed it.
Why would the component be present in the first result set, but not in the second?
I suspect this is unintended behaviour and worth raising with SDL.
To fix it you'll need to use ItemSchemaCriteria instead of SchemaTitleCriteria and obtain the components based on the schema ID, rather than the schema title.
To use the SchemaTitleCriteria I should imagine you need to have at least published one component based on the news portal schema alonside a dynamic component template so that the content delivery database contains the schema title information.
I have the following scenario:
My website db has a system table called "Companies", which includes an id field, companyName field, and companyImageUrl field.
How do I set up an umbraco document type for adding entries to this table ?
Maybe I shouldn't use a custom table at all ?
Thanks.
As far as I know, Umbraco doesn't support what you want to do out of the box (mapping a document type to a table that isn't part of the umbraco core).
One approach that might work is to create an action handler that syncs a Company doc type to your table when creating a node of that type.
It's a bit of a hack though. I've found that I've very rarely needed to create custom tables. What exactly are you trying to do with it? My guess is that you don't really need it and would be better off working with a doc type instead. Umbraco provides a variety of ways to get and act upon doc types from within custom C# code (check out the umbraco.NodeFactory namespace). You'll also get the added benefit of being able to easily interact with these nodes from XSLT/Razor.
I've installed CRM 2011 to see if I can tailor it to our business. We do repairs, I want to be able to book in a contact (client) and then a case and have the clients number and address print on the case form. All I can find are fields relevant to the case and not client, any idea on how I can select them?
To get fields from the contact onto the case form you could -
Create redundant fields on the case form for the fields that you want to port over from the contact, and then edit the mappings of the relationship from Contact to Case to map those fields to the case.
Create a web application that loads contact data and then add it to an iframe on the case form. Make it so that the web application accepts the case id in the query string of the URL so that it can look up the related contact and load its details within the web app.
Add JScript (or HTML resource in 2011) to the case form to load the contact values on the fly. You will have to use SOAP XML (or REST endpoints in 2011) messages to pull the data from the CRM service and then can inject it into the CRM case form's DOM.
Option 1 is the quickest solution but will not be realtime (only comes over when the case is first created and must be related to the contact on creation. Option 1 also adds some database redundancy.
Option 2 is the most supported realtime solution, but also requires the most work.
Option 3 is easier than option 2, but any DOM injection will likely not be supported for future releases.
EDIT
To use the mapping option, go to Settings > Customization > "Customize the System". Expand the Case item in the left hand navigation. Then click on N:1 relationships and open the relationship "incident_customer_contacts". This relationship connects the contact to its cases.
On the relationship window click on "Mappings" in the left hand navigation. This controls what fields are mapped from the case when it is created.
Click new and select the contact field from the left that you want to map to the case on the right. Repeat this for each field that you want mapped. Note that the fields need to be the same types, and if they are option sets, they will have to have the same underlying integer values for each of their options.
Now when you create a new case from a contact (or set the contact during the create), the fields should map onto the case.
Seeing as how Craig mentioned he's using CRM 2011, I felt I'd clarify that for Option 3 of Cole's suggestion, you can also use SOAP Xml against the Organization Service, or just use the REST endpoint and both will be supported. So long as you utilize CRM's Xrm.Page object to display the data on the form and don't do any other DOM manipulation, you should be fully supported.
Another Option, "Option 2b" we'll call it would be to add fields to the form for the data you want to be loaded, then add a plugin registered to the Retrieve of the case entity that would populate those fields on the fly for you. No redundancy other than the fields on the form at that point.
I would personally recommend Option 2b if possible because there will not be any lag in loading the data onto the form, and it provides for minimal data redundancy, minimal service calls, and the least amount of additional customizations.
My option is a lot easy one. All we are doing is using Dialog to create cases and in the dialog fields you can get contact detail dynamically. At the end of the form when you create new case, use this dynamic values to submit in Case form.
We get times when customer tell us that the phone number is changed since last time and this method gives you option to change customer's details on the fly and submit both in Contact Entity and Case entity at the same time.
I am using GridView in asp .net and editing data with edit command field property (as we know after updating the edited row, we automatically update the database), and I want to use transactions (with begin to commit statement - including rollback) to commit this update query in database, after clicking in some button (after some events for example), not automatically to insert or update the edited data from grid directly to the DB...so I want to save them somewhere temporary (even many edited rows - not just one row) and then to confirm the transaction - to update the real tables in database...
Any suggestions are welcomed...
I've used some good links, but very helpful, like:
http://www.asp.net/learn/data-access/tutorial-63-cs.aspx
http://www.asp.net/learn/data-access/tutorial-66-cs.aspx
etc...
Well,
you can store your edited data in a DataTable in session. and then pass this data table as a bulk insert in to the database. 2 options are available for this
if you are using SQL Server 2005 you can use OpenXML to achieve this, as i have stated here
if you are using SQL Server 2008 youc an use Table Variables like i did here.
i hope it helps
First way:
Create session variable that will contain your DB object (DataTable or mapped objects).
The GridView should work with this instance instead of sending the data to the database.
Once editing is finished you may take the object from the session and save it in the way you normally do.
Second way:
I would use javascript to collect all changes on the client side while he is editing as a array of objects (each object is separate row).
Once the editing done, you can create json string from the collection and pass it to the server.
If your json object configuration is same as server class then you can use JavaScriptSerializer to deserialize your string into collection of object.
After that, you can save your objects in the way you normally do.
