Ultimate goal: I want to have validation when a Timesheet is submitted.
Issue: Unable to determine when timesheet is submitted
In Before Record Submit in 2.0, when I log scriptContext.type for submitting a timesheet, it is always edit (fun fact: Retract is its own event, but I guess submit is not. Retract is not listed in the UserEventType enum)
I then looked at the approval status - in the UI, this changes when you hit submit. So I thought to grab the old vs new and if that changed (and the new value is pending approval), then it was submitted. This proved perplexing:
On submit, the old and new value is 2 (Pending Approval)
On retract (only did to keep re-testing), the old and new value is 1 (Open).
In either case, they are the same value so I can't compare old vs new
Below is my code. How can I determine that the timesheet has been submitted?
function beforeSubmit(scriptContext) {
var contextType = scriptContext.type;
log.debug('afterSubmit contextType', contextType);//figure out what submit is
//submit is not its own event type, just edit and changes approval status
var oldRecord = scriptContext.oldRecord;
var newRecord = scriptContext.newRecord;
var oldApprovalStatus = oldRecord.getValue('approvalstatus');
var newApprovalStatus = newRecord.getValue('approvalstatus');
log.debug('oldApprovalStatus', oldApprovalStatus);
log.debug('newApprovalStatus', newApprovalStatus);
}
The APPROVE event is fired during the afterSubmit entry point, not beforeSubmit.
When a Timesheet is approved, afterSubmit will fire with a scriptContext.type of scriptContext.UserEventType.APPROVE.
define([], () => {
function afterSubmit(scriptContext) {
if (scriptContext.type !== scriptContext.UserEventType.APPROVE) {
// Exit on any event besides APPROVE
return;
}
// Timesheet has been approved
// do stuff here ...
}
return {
afterSubmit
};
})

I have a custom module that uses Kentico API (DocumentHelper) to update certain fields of my document and then publish but I do not want it to trigger the event handlers that are linked to my document page type. I tried adding comments to .Publish("admin_edit") hoping that I can catch it from the WorkflowEventargs parameter but the VersionComment property always return null. Is there a way to accomplish this in Kentico?
update field:
var document = DocumentHelper.GetDocument(documentID, tree);
var workflowManager = WorkflowManager.GetInstance(tree);
var workflow = workflowManager.GetNodeWorkflow(document);
if (workflow != null)
{
document.CheckOut();
document.SetValue("SomeFIeld", "some value");
document.Update(true);
document.CheckIn();
document.Publish("admin_edit");
}
event handler:
public override void Init()
{
WorkflowEvents.Publish.After += Publish_After;
}
private void Publish_After(object sender, WorkflowEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.VersionComment) &&
e.VersionComment.Contains("admin_edit"))
return;
}
You always get null for Version information, because that is related to the 'Page versioning' events, specially for 'SaveVersion'. You can find more about that on this link. If you expand 'Properties' you will see which properties are populated for the specific event. In your case, you can try something like this, to add your message for last version and then check for that comment on 'Publish_After' event, see code bellow:
var document = DocumentHelper.GetDocument(documentID, tree);
var workflowManager = WorkflowManager.GetInstance(tree);
var workflow = workflowManager.GetNodeWorkflow(document);
if (workflow != null)
{
document.CheckOut();
document.SetValue("SomeFIeld", "some value");
document.Update(true);
document.CheckIn(versionComment: "admin_edit");
document.Publish();
}
and then, in event handler, take last version and check for comment like this:
if (e.PublishedDocument?.VersionHistory?.Count > 0)
{
var lastVersion = e.PublishedDocument.VersionHistory[0] as VersionHistoryInfo;
if (lastVersion.VersionComment.Equals("admin_edit"))
{
return;
}
}
NOTE: In case that you have a lot of concurrent content editors, there is a chance that your last version is not version from API (someone changed content and saved it right after your API call made change). There is a low chance for that, but still is possible. If this is something that you will use often, you must take it in consideration. This code is tested for Kentico 11.
hoping someone can point out where I am going wrong. I am working on an MVC 5 ASP.NET application. In my View I have a form which, amongst other controls, has 2 dropdown boxes.The first dropdown is populated with values in the Viewbag, but I want to populate the second dropdown based on the value selected in the first dropdown. I've read lots of other posts but still can't work it out.
Here is the code for the dropdowns.
#Html.DropDownList("EquipmentPortList", new SelectList(ViewBag.EquipmentPortList, "hvid", "hvnamn"), "--Select Equipment--")
#Html.DropDownList("PortConnectedList", Enumerable.Empty<SelectListItem>(), "--Select Port--")
Here is the change event code for the first dropdown :-
$(document).on('change', '#EquipmentPortList', function () {
var url = '#Url.Action("GetPortInt", "bearers")';
var ports = $('#PortConnectedList');
var id = $(this).val();
$.getJSON(url, { portid: id }, function (response) {
ports.empty();
$.each(response, function (index, item) {
ports.append($('</option>').text(item.portnamn).val(item.portid));
});
});
});
Here is the method in the controller :-
public ActionResult GetPortInt(int portid)
{
var PortConnectedList = from h in nadb.hvportar
where h.porthvid == portid && (h.portnamn.Contains("NT") || (h.portnamn.Contains("Port")) || (h.portnamn.Contains("/")))
orderby h.portid
select new { h.portid, h.portnamn };
return Json(PortConnectedList, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
OK, so the first dropdown populates correctly, and when I select a value I can see (using alerts) that the change event fires and the value is correctly selected.
I can see with the use of a breakpoint that the method is triggered and returns the correct data from the database, but after that I don't know what is wrong as the dropdown does not populate.
I picked up the code change event code from another post and amended it to fit my own project but I can't see what I'm missing. Thanks.
Stephen, your DotnetFiddle link actually showed me the answer. This line :-
ports.append($('</option>').text(item.portnamn).val(item.portid));
Should read
ports.append($('<option></option>').text(item.portnamn).val(item.portid));
Once I changed that it worked. Many thanks.
So my goal is to allow the user to click the item on the list and it automatically changes a value on the item. Mostly I want a easy to allow the user to mark the item as being read. This list will be updated every week, so it will allow the user to know what is new easier. I have already set up the views so the users can only see their own data on the personal view.
I have looked online and I'm not having great luck. This is what I have so far.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".ms-listviewtable > tbody > tr").click(function(){ //only works before ajax runs
setTimeout( function() {
//alert("Hello! I am an alert box!!");
var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current("https://...");
var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext();
var oList = clientContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Ticket');
this.oListItem = oList.getItemById(items[0].id);
this.oListItem.set_item('read','yes');
this.oListItem.update();
clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
}, 200); //had to be put in place to give time for the list to be selected
});
});
These are the issues I have.
the first time I click a item it tells be SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems is null. However if I click the same item it will give me the ID number. Then if I click it a third time it will tell me its null again.
It does not change the vaule, but it does give me the right ID number after I click it two times.
EDIT,
see comments below
Using this code:
$("table.ms-listviewtable").on("mouseup", "tr.ms-itmhover", function() {
//your code
});
My objective is to respond to a picked event in an external system and mark the SalesOrder "Picked" in NetSuite and later respond to a pack event in an external system and mark the SalesOrder "Packed" in NetSuite.
I am using the code from the SuiteTalk sample application. I first get a copy of the existing ItemFulfillment record and then populate a new ItemFulfillment record.
The code works great when I respond to the pick event. Unfortunately, when I respond to the pack event, when I try to get a copy of the existing ItemFulfillment Record for the SalesOrder I get this error.
"You must have at least one valid line item for this transaction."
I assumed that NetSuite is complaining that there are no more line items to fulfill, so I tried not adding any ItemFulfillmentItem(s) when I set the status to picked, but NetSuite didn't like that either.
The only documentation that I could find referenced a task Id, /app/accounting/transactions/itemshipmanager.nl?type=pack. This approach seemed credible because when I brought up Fiddler, this is the call that it made when I click the "Mark Packed" button in the UI. However, I would prefer not to introduce a different paradigm for talking to the NetSuite server.
I have found that NetSuite will let me go straight to the Pack state if I set shipStatus and shipStatusSpecified in the ItemFulfillment.
Can I move a SalesOrder through both the picked and packed states using only NetSuite SuiteTalk?
I was going about the problem incorrectly. Instead of adding items to a new packed item fulfillment, the correct approach is to find the existing ItemFulfillment and change its status to packed.
This is the search that finds an existing ItemFulfillment for a SalesOrder:
TransactionSearch xactionSearch = new TransactionSearch
{
basic = new TransactionSearchBasic
{
type = new SearchEnumMultiSelectField
{
#operator = SearchEnumMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = new System.String[]
{
"_itemFulfillment"
}
},
createdFrom = new SearchMultiSelectField
{
#operator = SearchMultiSelectFieldOperator.anyOf,
operatorSpecified = true,
searchValue = new RecordRef[1]
{
new RecordRef
{
internalId = salesOrderInternalId,
type = RecordType.salesOrder,
typeSpecified = true
}
}
}
}
};
This is the code that updates the ItemFulfillment:
ItemFulfillment update = new ItemFulfillment { internalId = existing.internalId, shipStatus = status, shipStatusSpecified = true };
WriteResponse res = _service.update(update);
I have a simple IBackgroundTask implementation that performs a query and then either performs an insert or one or more updates depending on whether a specific item exists or not. However, the updates are not persisted, and I don't understand why. New items are created just as expected.
The content item I'm updating has a CommonPart and I've tried authenticating as a valid user. I've also tried flushing the content manager at the end of the Sweep method. What am I missing?
This is my Sweep, slightly edited for brevity:
public void Sweep()
{
// Authenticate as the site's super user
var superUser = _membershipService.GetUser(_orchardServices.WorkContext.CurrentSite.SuperUser);
_authenticationService.SetAuthenticatedUserForRequest(superUser);
// Create a dummy "Person" content item
var item = _contentManager.New("Person");
var person = item.As<PersonPart>();
if (person == null)
{
return;
}
person.ExternalId = Random.Next(1, 10).ToString();
person.FirstName = GenerateFirstName();
person.LastName = GenerateLastName();
// Check if the person already exists
var matchingPersons = _contentManager
.Query<PersonPart, PersonRecord>(VersionOptions.AllVersions)
.Where(record => record.ExternalId == person.ExternalId)
.List().ToArray();
if (!matchingPersons.Any())
{
// Insert new person and quit
_contentManager.Create(item, VersionOptions.Draft);
return;
}
// There are at least one matching person, update it
foreach (var updatedPerson in matchingPersons)
{
updatedPerson.FirstName = person.FirstName;
updatedPerson.LastName = person.LastName;
}
_contentManager.Flush();
}
Try to add _contentManager.Publish(updatedPerson). If you do not want to publish, but just to save, you don't need to do anything more, as changes in Orchard as saved automatically unless the ambient transaction is aborted. The call to Flush is not necessary at all. This is the case both during a regular request and on a background task.
