set calculated property on model only once - python-3.x

im using python3 + django, and i have
a model of User with few fields
an admin page where all the users are presented
a form page where a single user is presented and can be updated
an external API with 2 endpoints:
GET /api/users/name (get all names for all the users)
GET /api/users/:id/name (get name for user by id)
i want to add a name property to be presented on admin page (as a column) and on a form page (read-only, not changeable)
how can i add this "calculated" property without calling an api more than needed?

it is normal function, you should create new method in ModelAdminand you can use result of this method in render.
more here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.readonly_fields
if you want to get username as readonly in list and in form, add this method in list_display and in field or fieldsets Modeladmin options.
You don't need to use other api, if you has already users list.

Extend Endpoint to show Created By User ID

I need to be able to see the Created By and/or the Last Updated By User ID's for a Document or Transaction (example Inventory Receipt). How can I add these fields to my extended Web Services Endpoint as these fields are not showing up in the list of DAC fields for this entity? Note that I have the same issue on other entities.
The field doesn’t show up on the list because it doesn’t have a PXUIFieldAttribute / is not visible on the page, but you can still type the underlying field name directly when adding it to the endpoint.

Using Graph API to query SharePoint list items and expand user field

I'm trying to query for some SP list items, all is working fine except I can't seem to expand a custom column of type Person.
I can see the createdBy and lastModifiedBy expanded and even includes the AAD user id, which is great and also leads me to think what I want is possible!
But mine is a custom column.
I'm running this and can only seem to get the SP user list id and the user's display name...neither of which are much use.
/items?expand=fields(select=UserLookupId,User)
Ideally I'd like to get the AAD user id as per createdBy and modifiedBy field, but the email would suffice.
Otherwise the only way I can see is to query the User Information List (using the UserLookupId) to get the email?
Thanks
This appears to be correct assumption:
Otherwise the only way I can see is to query the User Information List
(using the UserLookupId) to get the email?
for non-system user fields, it is indeed a way to go, but there are some distinctions whether user field is multi-valued or single-valued.
If Approvers is a multi-valued user field, then the following query:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?$expand=fields($select=Approvers)
returns email and id properties along with displayName property for user field value.
While for single-valued user field only id (available via {userfield}LookupId property) and displayName properties could be requested via items endpoint, for example:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?$expand=fields($select=Approver,ApproverLookupId)
So, indeed User Information List needs to be utilized to request additional user properties, for example:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/root/lists('User Information List')/items/{item-id}/?$expand=fields($select=Email)
where item-id corresponds to user field lookup id
This was my experience modifying the
Build Angular single-page apps with Microsoft Graph. In the examples below, I changed my id's out with the default text.
Here is
The Finished Project on thier github
In Graph Explorer, this worked. You can verify it at the Microsoft Graph Explorer.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?expand=fields($select=id,Title)
In the app/graph.service.ts in the app, this did not work. Even though you would expect it to based on the graph explorer.
.api('/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?fields($select=id,Title)')
Changing the app/graph.service.ts api call worked.
.api('/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?')
.expand('fields($select=id,Title)')
The result looked like this:
fields: {
#odata.etag: ""d6f5b6ea-9f90-452d-98ba-e838f58d3359,1"",
Title: "IT SPECIALIST (MID)",
id: "20"
}
Here's an example site id:
some.sharepoint.com,9dk062b-2e54-4e4f-b71a-cdb74f42cc44,c6cf6b0a-cc7c-41fd-a76a-ef8f97e8a22f
Here's an example list id.

The end url won't have any {} in it.

Issue while inserting the user in liferay

I have created a form which has basic user details and on clinking of the Save button I am inserting the user details in the "USER_" table by calling the UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser(....). Now the user is creating with out any issue. But I am not able to see some form field parameters in UserLocalServiceUtil.addUser(....) method like (Title, Gender and Date Of Birth). Now how can I save this values. Please give me some suggestions that how can I insert the following fields (Title, Gender and Date Of Birth) at the time of user creation.
Liferay uses com.liferay.portal.model.Contact entity to store the contact information.
Use com.liferay.portal.service.ContactLocalServiceUtil.addContact method to create the contact. Significant parametres:
userId - Id of the user that is creating the contact. You can use PortalUtil.getUser method to get the current user from a request.
className - "com.liferay.portal.model.User".
classPK - Id of the new user that the contact is created for.

Sitecore Custom User Profile - where is it stored how can it be queried

I have created a custom User profile template and object in the core database in Sitecore (as per the Security API Cookbook).
I can select this programmatically (as per the Security API Cookbook) so that my extranet users have an extended profile, that covers all the usual suspects (Address, phone, email format etc.)
However, where is this data stored? And how do I access it if I want to query the database to return a subset of users based on this profile data.
A typical requirement for an extranet member system is to extract a list of users to contact either in an email or a phone type campaign. Can this be done with the Sitecore membership system?
UPDATE>
I'm going to take a guess and say the profile data is stored in aspnet_Profile.PropertyValuesBinary .. which would make it nigh on impossible to query and not suited to my purpose. That is unfortunate. So to extend my question, if that is the case, is it possible to get Sitecore to store those values in the text field so they are searchable?
The standard Microsoft implementation of the SqlProfileProvider (which is used in Sitecore by default) stores the user profile information in the aspnet_Profile table. All the properties are serialized into the PropertyNames / PropertyValuesString columns. The PropertyValuesBinary is used to store the binary data (images). You can find more details if you look at the code of System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider, SetPropertyValues method.
Next, all the custom properties you define in the user profile, are serialized to the SerializedData property of the Profile class, and it is again serialized to the PropertyNames / PropertyValuesString columns like any other property.
Also, couple of properties are stored in aspnet_Membership table (for some reason) - Email and Comment.
So, if you are going to query the users by Email, you can use FindUsersByEmail method of MembershipProvider. Otherwise, if you plan to filter by another property value, I suppose, you'll have to get all users and filter the obtained collection.
Hope this helps.
I faced this exact problem last week, didn't come up with a permanent solution, but to solve my particular issue, I wrote a little helper page and added it as a Sitecore application to be accessed from the CMS interface. All it did was query all users, and determine if they had any of like 5-6 profile properties assigned.
var userList = Sitecore.Security.Accounts.UserManager.GetUsers();
That is the relevant line to grab the users, it returns Sitecore.Common.IFilterable
So if you need to do something where you're grabbing profile info from all users, you cn do something like this:
foreach (Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User user in userList)
{
Sitecore.Security.UserProfile profile = user.Profile;
string whatever = profile["Whatever"];
//add whatever to a list or something
}
This worked out very well for my purposes, but I don't know how feasible it will be in your situation.

How to add the UserId parameter to the query string of a XmlUrlDataSource in SharePoint?

I have an aspx that returns XML data using the query string parameter UserId. This UserId should be the SharePoint current User.
I create the datasource and dragged to the page, but i don't know how to add the parameter to the datasource, so that it sends the current User Id. I tried to add the parameter in the datasource parameters grid but when the aspx gets called it always uses the default value and not the current user id
You should be able to do this by adding a parameter through the context menu of the control (i.e. the DataFormWebPart) in design menu.
