I'm a complete Modx newbie and I'm trying to update an existing website. My goal is to add a new category to some pages as shown in the table below:
Checkout the documentation for this here https://bobsguides.com/creating-a-new-category.html
To create a new Category
Click on the Elements tab in the tree at the left in the Manager
Right-click on the "Categories" folder in the Element tree
Select "New Category"
Enter a Name for your new Category
(Optional) Enter a parent Category if you want to have Categories within Categories
It seems your question about MIGX TV functionality, this is how you should solve this:
Update your MIGX TV with the next category field (in Form tabs):
{"field":"category", "caption":"category", "inputTVtype":"listbox",
"inputOptionValues":"#EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('getCategoryList');"}
Create snippet getCategoryList with next code inside:
<?php
$result = array();
$c = $modx->newQuery('modCategory');
$c->sortby('category','ASC');
$categories = $modx->getCollection('modCategory',$c);
foreach($categories as $category){
$result[] = $category->get('category')."==".$category->get('category');
}
return implode("||", $result);

I wanted to add a new custom menu with submenus, and researched on official WHMCS documentation, but found only this:
<?php
#adding Menu Item to primaryNavbar
use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;
add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
$primaryNavbar->addChild('Menu Name')
->setUri('https://www.example.com/')
->setOrder(70);
});
But question is, how to add menu with submenus inside?
So a menu with sub menu items in WHMCS's client interface is just a menu item with children. The example code you cite creates a menu item, to make sub menus just add more children to the result of your addChild() call. Like this:
use WHMCS\View\Menu\Item as MenuItem;
add_hook('ClientAreaPrimaryNavbar', 1, function (MenuItem $primaryNavbar)
{
$menuItem = $primaryNavbar->addChild('Menu Name')
->setUri('https://www.example.com/')
->setOrder(70);
$menuItem->addChild('Sub Menu Item 1')->setUri('foo');
$menuItem->addChild('Sub Menu Item 2')->setUri('bar');
return $primaryNavbar;
});
Login to your whmcs installation folder -> includes -> hooks folder
create a new php file with the above code.
Edit the Menu name, https://www.example.com/ with your details and save the file
Thats all!
I have a custom table with a few fields that have list options for the user to select from when adding the content. Is there something in the API that allows me to access the options for a particular field so I can use those same options in a filtering widget?
Something like the below but that works for fields in a custom table?
var guids = ParentDocument.GetValue("CustomFieldName").Split(';');
var referencedDocs = DocumentHelper.GetDocuments().WhereIn("DocumentGuid", guids);
UPDATE - The code in case the link in the answer changes:
protected string[] GetFormFieldOptions()
{
DataClassInfo dci = DataClassInfoProvider.GetDataClassInfo("custom.MyPageTypeName");
if (dci != null)
{
//Get the data from the form field
FormInfo fi = new FormInfo(dci.ClassFormDefinition);
FormFieldInfo ffi = fi.GetFormField("Industry");
string[] industries = ffi.Settings["Options"].ToString().Split('\n');
return industries;
}
return null;
}
Use DataClassInfoProvider in order to get data you need. Check this blog post to see more details.
You can use the same code as you have in your question. The difference is you need to get 2 different things which are not available at the "Page" or "Document" level:
Custom table object
Custom table item based on #1
You use the API to get the custom table item:
var cti = CustomTableItemProvider.GetItem(<id or guid>, "yourcustom.tableclassname);
if (cti != null)
{
string[] s = ValidationHelper.GetString(cti.GetValue("YourField"), "").Split(";");
}
Update
To get a dynamic list of options in a field you can simply use a listing control like a dropdown list or a radio button list as your control (vs. a textbox). Then in the properties for the dropdownlist, you can set it to a query. In the query enter something like
-- if you wan to have a 'select one' add this
SELECT '', '-- select one --'
UNION
SELECT ItemID, FieldName
FROM CustomTable_Name
ORDER BY 2
I have a custom content type called Store, which has a Brands taxonomy field. A Store can have multiple Brands associated with it.
I have been tasked with building an import/export routine that allows the user to upload a CSV file containing new Stores and their associated Brands.
I can create the Stores other fields OK, but can't work out how to set the taxonomy field?
Can anyone tell me how I access the Taxonomy field for my custom content type?
Thanks in advance.
OK so (as Bertrand suggested), using the Import/Export feature might be a better way to go, but as a relative noob on Orchard I don't have the time to spend looking at it and couldn't find a good tutorial.
Below is an alternative approach, using the TaxonomyService to programatically assign Terms to a ContentItem.
First of all, inject the ContentManager and TaxonomyService into the constructor...
private ITaxonomyService _taxonomyService;
private IContentManager _contentManager;
public MyAdminController(IContentManager contentManager, ITaxonomyService taxonomyService)
{
_contentManager = contentManager;
_taxonomyService = taxonomyService;
}
Create your ContentItem & set the title
var item = _contentManager.New("MyContentType");
item.As<TitlePart>().Title = "My New Item";
_contentManager.Create(item);
Now we have a ContentItem to work with. Time to get your taxonomy & find your term(s)...
var taxonomy = _taxonomyService.GetTaxonomyByName("Taxonomy Name");
var termPart = _taxonomyService.GetTermByName(taxonomy.Id, "Term Name");
Add the terms to a List of type TermPart...
List<TermPart> terms = new List<TermPart>();
terms.Add(termPart);
Finally, call UpdateTerms, passing in the ContentItem, terms to assign and the name of the field on the ContentItem you want to update...
_taxonomyService.UpdateTerms(item, terms.AsEnumerable<TermPart>(), "My Field");
Hope this helps someone. Probably me next time round! : )
I have a web application. And I am using coded ui to write automated tests to test the application.
I have a dropdown with a text box. Which on entering values in the textbox, the values in the dropdown gets filtered based on the text entered.
If I type inside textbox like 'Admin', I will get below options like this:
And I need to capture the two options displayed.
But using IE Developer tool (F12), I am not able to capture the filtered options, because the options that are displayed do not have any unique property (like this below). And the options that are NOT displayed have a class="hidden" property
Any way to capture the elements that are displayed by applying some kind of filter like 'Select ui elements whose class != hidden'
Thanks in advance!!
HI please try below code will it works for you or not.By traversing all those controls that have class ="hidden"
WpfWindow mainWindow = new WpfWindow();
mainWindow.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.ClassName, "hidden");
UITestControlCollection collection = mainWindow.FindMatchingControls();
foreach (UITestControl links in collection)
{
HtmlHyperlink mylink = (HtmlHyperlink)links;
Console.WriteLine(mylink.InnerText);
}
I'm not sure there is a way to do it by search properties, but there are other approaches.
One way would be to brute force difference the collections. Find all the list items, then find the hidden ones and do a difference.
HtmlControl listControl = /* find the UL somehow */
HtmlControl listItemsSearch = new HtmlControl(listControl);
listItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.TagName, "li");
HtmlControl hiddenListItemsSearch = new HtmlControl(listControl);
hiddenListItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.TagName, "li");
hiddenListItemsSearch.SearchProperties.Add(HtmlControl.PropertyNames.ClassName, "hidden");
var listItems = listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Except(hiddenListItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls());
You will only be able to iterate this collection one time so if you need to iterate multiple times, create a function that returns this search.
var listItemsFunc = () => listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Except(hiddenListItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls());
foreach(var listItem in listItemsFunc()){
// iterate 1
}
foreach(var listItem in listItemsFunc()){
// iterate 2
}
The other way I would consider doing it would be to filter based on the controls which have a clickable point and take up space on the screen (ie, not hidden).
listItemsSearch.FindMatchingControls().Where(x => {
try { x.GetClickablePoint(); return x.Width > 0 && x.Height > 0; } catch { return false; }
});
I have a webpart that works off of a list but what I'm trying to do create a dropdown that contains a list of sharepoint lists so that when the user edits the page and selects 'modify shared webpart' they are able to choose a list item and that gets parsed back to the webpart.
Any examples or links to examples appreciated!
Thanks
Dan
What you are looking for is called a Toolpart. Take a look at this example for a tutorial on how to create one.
Overall, your general steps will be:
Create your custom Toolpart class inheriting from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ToolPart
In your custom Toolpart, override CreateChildControls, write the code to iterate over the lists in your SPWeb, and add those to a DropDownList
In your webpart, override GetToolParts and add your custom ToolPart so that it shows up in the right hand side
It sounds like you want to create a custom editor part. In the part you would have one dropdown that shows the names of the lists (you probably want to filter hidden and empty lists) and, when an item is selected from the list, a second dropdown shows the Title column of the items from the selected list.
Here's some code (edited here, so it will need to be cleaned up) to help you get started:
protected Page_Load(...)
{
if (IsPostBack) return;
var web = SPContext.Current.Web;
var query = from list in web.Lists
where list.Hidden == false && list.ItemCount == 0
select list;
DropDownList1.DataSource = query;
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "Title";
DropDownList1.DataBind();
}
protected DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(...)
{
var web = SPContext.Current.Web;
var listName = DropDownList1.Text;
var list = web.Lists[listName];
var table = list.Items.GetDataTable();
DropDownList2.DataSource = table;
DropDownList2.DataTextField = "Title";
DropDownList2.DataValueField = "ID";
DropDownList2.DataBind();
}
