xpages carousel with dynamic content - xpages

Is it possible to feed the xe:carousel control from the Extension Library with dynamic content?
At first it seems the slide nodes can only be set static?

I recently posted this as an answer to someone who wanted a dynamic Dashboard control, to give them ideas
<xp:this.afterPageLoad><![CDATA[#{javascript:
importPackage(com.ibm.xsp.theme.bootstrap.components.responsive);
var photos = [["http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.jpg","My Caption 1"]];
photos.push(["http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/2.jpg","My Caption 2"]);
photos.push(["http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/3.jpg","My Caption 3"]);
photos.push(["http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/4.jpg","My Caption 4"]);
photos.push(["http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/5.jpg","My Caption 5"]);
var carousel:com.ibm.xsp.theme.bootstrap.components.responsive.UICarousel = getComponent("carousel1");
for(var i = 0; i < photos.length; i++) {
var data = photos[i];
var slide:com.ibm.xsp.theme.bootstrap.components.responsive.SlideNode = new com.ibm.xsp.theme.bootstrap.components.responsive.SlideNode();
slide.setBackgroundSrc(data[0]);
slide.setCaptionText(data[1]);
slide.setButtonLabel("Open This Image");
slide.setButtonHref("/photo.xsp?photo=" + data[0]);
carousel.addSlideNode(slide);
}}]]>
</xp:this.afterPageLoad>
<xe:carousel id="carousel1" wrapped="true" pause="hover" slideInterval="2000">
</xe:carousel>
The key is to first get a reference to the component underlying the Carousel control, UICarousel. Then create some SlideNode components, setting their configuration options as desired, and add them to the UICarousel component.

How to add an absolute element in a NativeScript page

I want to be able to just place a View component (plugin) into the page through code and have it appear at some X\Y on the page... but I'm a bit stumped.
Any attempt to add via page.content kinda adds it to the layout\render pass so it occupies space.
So this would get injected into "any" page at "any" time, I have no control over the markup this would be used in (know what I mean?) There is no XML for it and unfortunately the answer can't just be wrap everything in an AbsoluteLayout because one can't mandate that on users apps\layouts.
Thoughts, even possible?
Basically the simplest way to do this is to dynamically and be fully cross platform compatible is to create a AbsoluteLayout item in your JavaScript code, and dynamically insert your item and the AL into the page container.
Code would be something like this:
var AbsoluteLayout = require('ui/layouts/absolute-layout').AbsoluteLayout;
var myAL = new AbsoluteLayout();
var myItem = new myPluginItem();
// Set you left, right, top, bottom coords.
myItem.top = x;
// Add our item to the AbsoluteItem
myAL.addChild(myItem);
var frame = require('ui/frame');
var page = frame.topmost().currentPage;
var LayoutBase = require('ui/layouts/layout-base').LayoutBase;
page._eachChildView(function(view) {
if (view instanceof LayoutBase) {
view.addChild(myAL);
return false;
}
return true;
});
However, if you don't want to do this the really simple way; the only other way is to actually go a bit lower level. You can natively access the iOS view controller (page._ios.view) and the android view (page._nativeView), and then manually add it to the view by using things like addView (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewManager.html) or addSubview (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/).
I would like to add you can set the Top and Left properties in TypeScript by importing AbsoluteLayout like so
import {AbsoluteLayout} from 'ui/layouts/absolute-layout';
and then using the exposed functions setLeft or setTop
AbsoluteLayout.setLeft(YourItem, LeftValue);
or
AbsoluteLayout.setTop(YourItem, TopValue);

Adding section icons and changing background color in dynamics CRM

I need to give an icon to each section in my entities. For example, I need to give an icon to General information, another one for interactions section.
Is there an idea about how could I do that? and how can I make a background color for each section please?
Thanks in advance,
There is no way to assign icons to sections. The best you could do would be to add a web resource to each of your sections and have them link to an image, but it doesn't really sound like that's what you're going for.
There are no supported ways to modify the form background color. If you don't care about remaining supported, though, you can use jQuery to do it. Put this function into your form script:
function changeSectionBackgroundColor(sectionId, color) {
parent.$("table.ms-crm-FormSection[name='"+sectionId+"']").css({"background-color": color});
}
and use it like this:
changeSectionBackgroundColor("General_Section_2", "red");
changeSectionBackgroundColor("General_Section_2", "#ababab");
You could try to do something like this to insert the Section images:
var stackoverflow = (function (Xrm)
{
var sectionBarClassName = '.ms-crm-Form-SectionBar'; // name of the CSS class given to the Section's Label's <td> element
function GetSection(tabName, sectionName)
{
var parentTab = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.getByName(tabName); // get the tab
var section = parentTab.sections.getByName(sectionName); // get the section
return section;
}
function AddSectionImage(tabName, sectionName, imageUrl)
{
var section = GetSection(tabName, sectionName); // retrieve section using Xrm
var elSection = document.querySelector('table[name=' + section.getKey() + ']');
var elSectionHeader = elSection.querySelector('tr:first-child');
var elTitles = elSection.querySelectorAll(sectionBarClassName);
if (elTitles.length === 1) // we can assume that this section has a title
{
var elImg = document.createElement('img');
elImg.src = imageUrl;
elTitles[0].insertBefore(elImg, elTitles[0].firstChild);
}
}
return {
AddSectionImage : AddSectionImage
};
})(Xrm);
You then call this code and pass in the Name (not label) of the tab and section as well as the relative URL of the image you want displayed. Like so:
stackoverflow.AddSectionImage('tab_5', 'tab_5_section_1', '/imgs/Cancel_16.png');
I've only tested this code in CRM 2016 (online). And the image is a bit rough. You'll need to take care of the styling (inline) and the size yourself.
This is of course, unsupported by Microsoft :)

How to set different page size for first page in Orchard CMS

We got the need to display a blog posts page that display X posts - first post is displayed as a header and the rest are in 2 columns. The page has a show more button at the bottom that fetches the next page posts using ajax and adding them at the bottom.
Is it possible to get X+1 items for the subsequent pages?
Any hint, even in code are welcome since we use a sourced version of orchard installation.
So before cluttering the comments above this is my proposed solution.
I think there was a slight misunderstanding about changing the controller action which I'd like to clarify (I hope I understood everything correctly now):
Orchard.Blogs | BlogController | Item Action
public ActionResult Item(int blogId, PagerParameters pagerParameters) {
// This is all original code
Pager pager = new Pager(_siteService.GetSiteSettings(), pagerParameters);
var blogPart = _blogService.Get(blogId, VersionOptions.Published).As<BlogPart>();
if (blogPart == null)
return HttpNotFound();
if (!_services.Authorizer.Authorize(Orchard.Core.Contents.Permissions.ViewContent, blogPart, T("Cannot view content"))) {
return new HttpUnauthorizedResult();
}
// This is the actual change:
// Use the pagerParameters provided, otherwise fall back to the blog settings
pager.PageSize = pagerParameters.PageSize.HasValue ? pager.PageSize : blogPart.PostsPerPage;
// This is all original code again
_feedManager.Register(blogPart, _services.ContentManager.GetItemMetadata(blogPart).DisplayText);
var blogPosts = _blogPostService.Get(blogPart, pager.GetStartIndex(), pager.PageSize) // Your new page size will be used
.Select(b => _services.ContentManager.BuildDisplay(b, "Summary"));
dynamic blog = _services.ContentManager.BuildDisplay(blogPart);
var list = Shape.List();
list.AddRange(blogPosts);
blog.Content.Add(Shape.Parts_Blogs_BlogPost_List(ContentItems: list), "5");
var totalItemCount = _blogPostService.PostCount(blogPart);
blog.Content.Add(Shape.Pager(pager).TotalItemCount(totalItemCount), "Content:after");
return new ShapeResult(this, blog);
}
So the change is very subtle, but this way I would configure the blogs default pageSize to 7 items and for every subsequent Ajax-Request I'd provide a "pageSize"-Parameter with the desired size.

MS Dynamics CRM 2011, Get subgrid elements from other form

I am new to jscript and have problems to get all elements in a subgrid.
I tried the code from this sites,
Retrieve rows in crm2011 subgrid with JScript
https://lakshmanindian.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/retrieve-subgrid-rows-in-crm-2011-using-jscript/
but get every time the error message:
(Translated)
Error in the user defined event of the field
Field:window
Event: onload
Error: The preference "control" of a undefined or null reference can not be called.
The last code I tried:
var grid = document.getElementById("accountContactsGrid").control;
for (var rowNo = 0; rowNo<grid.getRecordsFromInnerGrid().length; rowNo++)
for (var cellNo = 0; cellNo<grid.getRecordsFromInnerGrid()[rowNo][3].cells.length; cellNo++)
alert(grid.getRecordsFromInnerGrid()[rowNo][3].cells[cellNo].outerText);
I tried it in the entity Account(Company) with the subgrid "accountContactsGrid".
My main goal would be to catch all the assigned elements in the account form and list it under the contacts form. But only if the checkbox "Eko" is activated.
This is my working code so far:
var chkEko = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("testcrm_ekonomi").getValue();
if (chkEko === true)
{
alert("Eko active: " + chkEko);
}
else
{
alert("Eko not active: " + chkEko);
}
After a time and the help of some threads I was able to get information of this grid. But now I have the problem to catch the elements.
I looked up the variable "grid" and found out that variable is an Object.
Since I don't really know the properties of the objects I tried to get it all.
But it seems, that my code doesn't work and I can not understand why.
Here is the code so far:
function subgridItemCount() {
// Get the Subgrid Control
var grid = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get('accountContactsGrid')._control;
var keys = Object.keys(grid);
var getKeys = function(obj){
var keys = [];
for(var key in obj){
keys.push(key);
}
return keys;
}
for(var i = 0; i<keys.length; i++) {
document.write(keys[i]);
}
}
First I wanted to get the property of the object and then the propertyValue.
Or is there an other way to get all values of an object?
It seems like I am on the wrong way. This is what I try to do:
In the account/company form is an existing grid which is called Contacts. In this field are some Contacts assigned (with the button "add existing contact").
Now when I open some Contact there should be a box/grid/iframe with a list of all companies this contact is assigned too.
This list should be linked to the Companies (When i click on them CRM should open the form).
Maybe someone can give me a tip?
My plan was first to look for all companies and then to compare the assigned contacts to the opened one with some Jscript. Then the script should list all matching contacts in the contact form.
This way is not really performant since the script needs to read all companies first. But I don't know an other way...

Highlighting or Bolding the Borders of a kml Polygon

Hey after loading a kml file to google earth I was trying to have when a user clicks a certain polygon from the kml, to have that polygon highlighted.
So far I can record the click event, get the event type (KmlPlacemark) and grab its kml markup.
I tried doing something similar to this example where they add a placemark to the getFeatures of the kmlObject but both target and type don't seem to have 'getFeatures'. After looking around the documentation I think I might either want setOutline from Kml Polystyle class or setWidth() from KmlLineStyle class but am not sure. Also when I try something like target.setOutline(true); it doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track, hints to what I'm doing wrong, and if there's a better way to do this?
function recordEvent(event) {
var target = event.getTarget();
var type = target.getType();
if(type == "KmlPolygon") {
alert("KMLPolygon ");
}else if(type == "KmlPlacemark") {
// // get the data you want from the target.
var description = target.getDescription();
var balloon = target.getBalloonHtml();
var outputKml = target.getKml();
if ('getFeatures' in event) {
console.log("test");
event.getFeatures().appendChild(placemark);
}
console.log("hello?")
// target.setOutline(true);
console.log(outputKml);
}
};
google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getGlobe(), 'click', recordEvent);
Thanks!
I find the best way to do what you are asking is to:
Detect click events like you currently do
If clicked, create a new Style, then assign it to the target
var newStyle = ge.createStyle('');
// Assign your Style's attributes such as LabelStyle and IconStyle
// eg to set the scale of your label
newStyle.getLabelStyle().setScale(2.5);
// Set the Style
target.setStyleSelector(newStyle);
Edit to add in this link of a Google example showing it more in depth
