Adding values to multi-value field and displaying them - xpages

I have 3 multi-value fields and I have already inserted values in them. All of the fields are Text type, edible. What I'm trying to do is that I want to add functionality in xpages, so that I can add new values to those fields.
Here's what I got so far:
The code that triggers on the save button:
var statuss = document1.getItemValue("statuss");
var stat_vec:java.util.Vector = document1.getItemValue("statuss_update");
stat_vec.add(statuss);
document1.replaceItemValue("statuss_update", stat_vec);
var vards = session.getEffectiveUserName();
var vards_vec:java.util.Vector = document1.getItemValue("name_update");
vards_vec.add(vards);
document1.replaceItemValue("name_update", vards_vec);
var laiks = session.createDateTime("Today");
var laiks_vec:java.util.Vector = document1.getItemValue("time_update");
laiks_vec.add(laiks);
document1.replaceItemValue("time_update", laiks_vec);
document1.save();
The code that I have atteched to the computedField, where the values are displayed from the 3 multi value fields + it refreshes when I insert new values:
var x = document1.getItemValue("statuss_update");
var y = document1.getItemValue("name_update");
var z = document1.getItemValue("time_update");
var html = "<head><link rel=\"stylesheet\" type = \"text/css\" href=\"test.css\"></head><table id=\"tabula\">";
for (i = 0 ; i < x.size()-1; i++){
html= html + "<tr><td>" + x[i] + "</td><td>" + y[i] + "</td><td>" +z[i] + "</td></tr>";
}
html = html + "</table>";
I can insert the values and they get displayed in the HTML table but the problem is with saving the edits. Whenever I try to save the document (I have a save button that has save document event attached to it) I get the error:
Could not save the document 1B06 NotesException: Unknown or
unsupported object type in Vector
As far as I understand I'm trying to savesomething in a field, where the values type is not supported. Can anyone give me a hint what am I doing wrong or where to look for the problem? Been stuck with this for a pretty long time.

Is it this part?
var statuss = document1.getItemValue("statuss");
var stat_vec:java.util.Vector = document1.getItemValue("statuss_update");
stat_vec.add(statuss);
It looks like you're getting the statuss item's values (potentially a Vector??) and adding it to the Vector for statuss_update. If it's definitely just one value, getItemValueString() would work better.
I'm nnot sure if this is right, but you mention all fields are Text type, but it looks like you're passing a DateTime to the third one.
It might be worth analysing the contents of the Vectors before it's doing the save, just to make sure they contain what you expect.

How can I match exact text in a particular column and output the entire row of information?

I have been attempting to create a Telegram bot that searches a preexisting database and outputs information based on search query, essentially I want the bot to just receive a text via Telegram that contains an invoice number and output all relevant information regarding that order (The entire row of information).
Since I am dealing with invoice numbers and tracking numbers, sometimes the bot is exporting incorrect information given the current script is not matching exact text or a specific column.
For instance, rather than searching and finding invoice number it picks up a partial match of tracking number and outputs the wrong information.
I would like to set it up to search a specific column, ie. Column 3 - "Invoice #" and then output the entire row of information.
Thanks in advance!
I have been working in Google App Script:
var token = "";
var telegramUrl = "https://api.telegram.org/bot" + token;
var webAppUrl = "";
var ssId = "";
function getMe() {
var url = telegramUrl + "/getMe";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
}
function setWebhook() {
var url = telegramUrl + "/setWebhook?url=" + webAppUrl;
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
}
function sendText(id,text) {
var url = telegramUrl + "/sendMessage?chat_id=" + id + "&text=" + text;
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Logger.log(response.getContentText());
}
function doGet(e) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutput("Hi there");
}
function doPost(e) {
var data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
var text = data.message.text;
var id = data.message.chat.id;
var name = data.message.chat.first_name + " " + data.message.chat.last_name;
var answer = "Hi " + name + ", please enter invoice number.";
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Orders");
var search_string = text
var textFinder = sheet.createTextFinder(search_string)
var search_row = textFinder.findNext().getRow();
var value = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("F"+search_row).getValues();
var value_a = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("G"+search_row).getValues();
sendText(id,value+" "+ value_a)
}
You want to find rows where the content in column 3 is exactly equal to your variable "text"
Modify your function doPost as following:
function doPost(e) {
var data = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
var text = data.message.text;
var id = data.message.chat.id;
var name = data.message.chat.first_name + " " + data.message.chat.last_name;
var answer = "Hi " + name + ", please enter invoice number.";
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Orders");
var range = sheet.getRange(1,1, sheet.getLastRow(), sheet.getLastColumn());
var values = range.getValues();
for (var i=0; i< values.length; i++){
var column3Value = values[i][2];
if(column3Value == text){
var rowValues = values[i].toString();
sendText(id,rowValues)
}
}
}
Explanations
The for loop iterates through all rows and compares the values in column 3 (array element[2] against the value of text
The operator == makes sure that only exact matches are found (indexOf() would also retrieve partial matches)
In case a match is found, the values from the whole row are converted to a comma separated string with toString() (You can procced the values differntly if desired)
Every row with a match will be sent to the function sendText() (you could alternatively push all rows with matches into an array / string and call sendText() only once, after exiting the for loop
I hope this answer helps you to solve your problem and adapt the provided code snippet to your needs!
I would look for a specific column where the order number is stored.
I`m not sure if it is the best way from performance side, but I think it should work.
function orderInformation(orderNumber){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Orders");
//Gets last row in Orders sheet
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
//Here you can change column where is order number stored
var orderNumberRange = sheet.getRange("A1:A" + lastRow);
//Gets all order number values
var orderNumbers = orderNumberRange.getValues();
//You can use indexOf to find which row has information about requested order
var orderLocation = orderNumbers.indexOf(orderNumber);
//Now get row with order data, lets suppose that your order information is from column A to Z
var orderData = sheet.getRange("A" + (orderLocation + 1) + ":Z" + (orderLocation + 1)).getValues();
//Now you have all data in array, where you can loop through and generate response text for a customer.
}
Sorry, I have not tested it, at the moment I don`t have time to make a test sheet, but this is the way I would do it and I think it should work.
I will test it maybe later when I will be able to make a test sheet.

Displaying a computed field with multiple lines? (xpages)

OK, I have a customer name and address and simply want to display this in one computed field instead of separate lines in a table to save real estate. I've tried several iterations of #newline but to no avail. Can someone give me some guidance?
I would also like to NOT include Address2 if it's blank. I'm new to javascript. Thanks for your help.
var a = document1.getItemValueString("CompanyName");
var b = document1.getItemValueString("Address1");
var c = document1.getItemValueString("Address2");
var d = #Char(13);
a + #NewLine() + b + "<br>" + c;
Set property escape="false" in computed field and add <br /> whenever you want a newline.
You can set this property in properties tab selecting content type "HTML" too:
Your code would be
var a = document1.getItemValueString("CompanyName");
var b = document1.getItemValueString("Address1");
var c = document1.getItemValueString("Address2");
a + "<br />" + b + (c ? "<br />" + c : "");
Mike,
I had to do nearly the same thing recently and used a Multiline Edit Box. Place your same code in data section of an <xp:inputTextArea> (Multiline Edit Box in palette) and then make it read-only.

Tracking document content changes

I'm trying to track the history of field values that are displayed in computed field as HTML. So far I got this:
var x = document1.getItemValue("category");
var html = "<table>";
for (i = 0 ; i < x.size(); i++){
html= html + "<tr><td>" + x + "</td></tr>";
html = html + "<tr><td>" + session.getEffectiveUserName() + "</td></tr>";
}
html = html + "</table>";
The code works ok, I get the value that I need and it gets displayed and if I edit the current document, the value changes via partial update that I have attached to the save button, but that's not the problem. The problem that I have is with saving it. I thought of creating an array and adding the value that changed but it will reset everything because of the script. Any suggestions how I can save that value or add it to the field? I was using Append ToTextList in forms, is there any way how to achieve that functionality in Xpages?
You can add a new value in a field in the querySave of the DominoDocument in XPages:
var x = document1.getItemValue("category");
x.add(myNewValue);
document1.replaceItemValue("category", x);

Populate iTextSharp pdf with database values

I have this code below and trying to populate my pdf with values from the database.
PdfPCell points = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("and is therefore entitled to ", arialCertify));
points.Colspan = 2;
points.Border = 0;
points.PaddingTop = 40f;
points.HorizontalAlignment = 1;//0=Left, 1=Centre, 2=Right
// code below needs attention
var cID = "ALFKI";
var xw = Customers.First(p => p.CustomerID ==cID);
table.AddCell(xw.CompanyName.ToString());
I can not figure out where I am going wrong. When I remove the code under 'code below needs attention' it works but I need the database values.
I am using webmatrix with ItextSharp. If to answer you need further code please let me know.
PdfPCell cell=new PdfPCell(new Phrase(xw.CompanyName.ToString()));
cell.setColspan(numColumns);
table.addCell(cell);
document.add(table);

Insert image into a specified location

I have a Google Apps script which replaces placeholders in a copy of a template document with some text by calling body.replaceText('TextA', 'TextB');.
Now I want to extend it to contain images. Does anybody have idea how to do this?
Thank you,
Andrey
EDIT: Just to make it clear what my script does. I have a Google form created in a spreadsheet. I've created a script which runs upon form submission, traverses a sheet corresponding to the form, find unprocessed rows, takes values from corresponding cells and put them into a copy of a Google document.
Some fields in the Google form are multi-line text fields, that's where '\r\r' comes from.
Here's a workaround I've come up with by now, not elegant, but it works so far:
// replace <IMG src="URL"> with the image fetched from URL
function processIMG_(Doc) {
var totalElements = Doc.getNumChildren();
for( var j = 0; j < totalElements; ++j ) {
var element = Doc.getChild(j);
var type = element.getType();
if (type =='PARAGRAPH'){
var par_text = element.getText();
var start = par_text.search(new RegExp('<IMG'));
var end = par_text.search(new RegExp('>'));
if (start==-1)
continue;
// Retrieve an image from the web.
var url = getURL_(par_text.substring(start,end));
if(url==null)
continue;
// Before image
var substr = par_text.substring(0,start);
var new_par = Doc.insertParagraph(++j, substr);
// Insert image
var resp = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
new_par.appendInlineImage(resp.getBlob());
// After image
var substr = par_text.substring(end+1);
Doc.insertParagraph(++j, substr);
element.removeFromParent();
j -= 2; // one - for latter increment; another one - for increment in for-loop
totalElements = Doc.getNumChildren();
}
}
}
Here is a piece of code that does (roughly) what you want.
(there are probably other ways to do that and it surely needs some enhancements but the general idea is there)
I have chosen to use '###" in the doc to mark the place where the image will be inserted, the image must be in your google drive (or more accurately in 'some' google drive ).
The code below uses a document I shared and an image I shared too so you can try it.
here is the link to the doc, don't forget to remove the image and to put a ### somewhere before testing (if ever someone has run the code before you ;-)
function analyze() { // just a name, I used it to analyse docs
var Doc = DocumentApp.openById('1INkRIviwdjMC-PVT9io5LpiiLW8VwwIfgbq2E4xvKEo');
var image = DocsList.getFileById('0B3qSFd3iikE3cF8tSTI4bWxFMGM')
var totalElements = Doc.getNumChildren();
var el=[]
for( var j = 0; j < totalElements; ++j ) {
var element = Doc.getChild(j);
var type = element.getType();
Logger.log(j+" : "+type);// to see doc's content
if (type =='PARAGRAPH'){
el[j]=element.getText()
if(el[j]=='###'){element.removeFromParent();// remove the ###
Doc.insertImage(j, image);// 'image' is the image file as blob
}
}
}
}
EDIT : for this script to work the ### string MUST be alone in its paragraph, no other character before nor after... remember that each time one forces a new line with ENTER the Document creates a new paragraph.
