I'm a bit new to ExactTarget in general so I apologize if this has already been answered (if it has, I can't find it anywhere).
I am attempting to create an email which will conditionally display n of 50 bulleted lists containing links to product information. However, whenever I attempt to send this email, I receive the following error message:
Other errors found in the email.
Category: AMP Script
Functions and Custom Objects:('
Field Name %%F50%% was not found in the send source.
Category: AMP Script
The second paragraph of the error message is repeated 50 times total (one for each field).
I cannot seem to figure-out why this issue is occurring:
I have a Data Extension with data for each field mapped in it.
I have imported valid data from a CSV to the data extension.
I have a list of valid subscribers to whom I am attempting to distribute.
I have an email template with custom areas inside each of which check if the subscriber has a "true" value for each field and shows/hides the content snippets on that basis.
I have 50x content snippets (one for each field).
There has to be something I'm missing here. Any ideas?
Thanks!
If the 50 fields are not in your sending data extension, you'll need to retrieve them with a script something like this. Note the values are displayed with%%=v(#DEColumn1)=%%:
%%[
var #rows, #row, #rowCount, #numRowsToReturn, #lookupValue, #i
set #lookupValue = "whee"
set #numRowsToReturn = 0 /* 0 means all */
set #rows = LookupOrderedRows("DataExtensionName",#numRowsToReturn,"DEColumn1 desc, DEColumn2 asc","LookupColumn", #lookupValue)
set #rowCount = rowcount(#rows)
if #rowCount > 0 then
for #i = 1 to #rowCount do
var #DEColumn1, #DEColumn2
set #row = row(#rows,#i) /*get row based on loop counter */
set #DEColumn1 = field(#row,"DEColumn1")
set #DEColumn2 = field(#row,"DEColumn2")
]%%
Row %%=v(#i)=%%, DEColumn1 is %%=v(#DEColumn1)=%%, DEColumn2 is %%=v(#DEColumn2)=%%
%%[ next #i ]%%
%%[ else ]%%
No rows found
%%[ endif ]%%

Is there a way to have a paragraph of text get spit out when you have a certain input, from say a google questionnaire?
And make it so you could have say 5 inputs, and it would spit out 5 paragraphs of information, into one document?
For example:
If someone fills out a questionnaire where the first question is year of birth, the tool would spit out the first paragraph with a description of what the year they were born was like.
Second question would be their birth country, the tool would place a paragraph of text about their birth country into the document.
etc etc
Many thanks in advance for any help
It is possible to create documents using a specific criteria based in form responses. I created the following sample script using Google Apps Script so you can get the idea:
function docCreation() {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName("Form Responses 1");
var range = ss.getDataRange();
var values = range.getValues().reverse(); //reverses the array to get the last value in the first position
var doc = DocumentApp.create("Testing doc"); // You can change the name to match a username or any other variable instead
switch (getMonth(values[0][1].toString())) {
case 'Aug':
doc.getBody().appendParagraph("This is a sample body for August");
break;
case 'Jul':
doc.getBody().appendParagraph("This is a sample body for July");
break;
}
}
// Second function that returns the month value of the date introduced by the user
// I separated it because it is not that relevant to the main goal
function getMonth(val){
var month = val.split(" ");
return month[1];
}
It is a very simple script that checks if the month of the date introduced by the user is August or July, and if so, it creates a doc with a simple text as paragraph.
The script is bounded to the Google Sheet of the form responses and you can create a trigger so that every time a user fills out the form, the script starts running to create the needed documents. Now as I mentioned, this is just a sample, and the logic and docs format would depend on your specific needs and usage.

I am new to Google Apps Script and have just begun to understand its working. A team member wrote out a simple simple script for some work i was doing. The script, in essence, triggered when any of a permitted set of users (could vary) submits inputs to a 'Form Responses 1' spreadsheet via a Google Form.
Basically, I have a form that users complete and then submit. Upon submission, the script checks for the active row, The code adds 1 to the number of the cell W2 (which is a 'do not edit' cell, and replaces W2 with the new number, then checks if the Unique ID field on the Active Row is null and then replaces it with a concatenated ID thats alphanumeric. ie, it prefixes a set alphabetical prefix and takes the numerical input from the cell W2 on the same form to create a new Unique ID.
The script was working perfectly until the team member left and I removed her access from the Google sheets with no change to the script at all. I've been scrambling trying to figure out what happened after that, because since access was removed, when I haven't made any changes to my code. I have searched many different places and cannot seem to find what is wrong.
If i post it on a new google sheet, it's working fine .. but not on this sheet which already has around 900 critical entries.
Any guidance is welcome. the Script is as below. HELP!
//Logger.log(SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getUrl());
//Logger.log(SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getUrl());
// Get the active sheet
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
// Get the active row
var row = sheet.getActiveCell().getRowIndex();
// Get the next ID value. NOTE: This cell should be set to the last record counter value
var id = sheet.getRange("X2").getValue()+1;
Logger.log("HKG0"+id);
// Check if ID column is empty
if (sheet.getRange(row, 1).getValue() == "") {
// Set new ID value
sheet.getRange(2, 24).setValue(id);
sheet.getRange(row, 1).setValue("HKG0"+id);
}
}
If your code is running off of a form submit trigger then this should work for you.
function formsubit(e) {
Logger.log(JSON.stringify(e));
var sheet = e.range.getSheet();
var id = sheet.getRange("X2").getValue() + 1;
if (sheet.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1).getValue() == "") {
sheet.getRange(2, 24).setValue(id);
sheet.getRange(e.range.rowStart, 1).setValue("HKG0" + id);
}
}
The Logger.log will help you to learn more about the event object. You can learn more about event objects here
If you're looking for a unique id for each submission try: const id = new Date(e.values[0]).valueOf(); it's the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970
I have an API request I'm writing to query OpenWeatherMap's API to get weather data. I am using a city_id number to submit a request for a unique place in the world. A successful API query looks like this:
r = requests.get('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?APPID=333de4e909a5ffe9bfa46f0f89cad105&id=4456703&units=imperial')
The key part of this is 4456703, which is a unique city_ID
I want the user to choose a few cities, which then I'll look through a JSON file for the city_ID, then supply the city_ID to the API request.
I can add multiple city_ID's by hard coding. I can also add city_IDs as variables. But what I can't figure out is if users choose a random number of cities (could be up to 20), how can I insert this into the API request. I've tried adding lists and tuples via several iterations of something like...
#assume the user already chose 3 cities, city_ids are below
city_ids = [763942, 539671, 334596]
r = requests.get(f'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/groupAPPID=333de4e909a5ffe9bfa46f0f89cad105&id={city_ids}&units=imperial')
Maybe a list is not the right data type to use?
Successful code would look something like...
r = requests.get(f'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?APPID=333de4e909a5ffe9bfa46f0f89cad105&id={city_id1},{city_id2},{city_id3}&units=imperial')
Except, as I stated previously, the user could choose 3 cities or 10 so that part would have to be updated dynamically.
you can use some string methods and list comprehensions to append all the variables of a list to single string and format that to the API string as following:
city_ids_list = [763942, 539671, 334596]
city_ids_string = ','.join([str(city) for city in city_ids_list]) # Would output "763942,539671,334596"
r = requests.get('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?APPID=333de4e909a5ffe9bfa46f0f89cad105&id={city_ids}&units=imperial'.format(city_ids=city_ids_string))
hope it helps,
good luck
var component = getComponent("dvwContent");
return component.getRowCount() + " documents have been found";
If I'm placing this code into a computed value outside of a filtered dynamic view (referred to by "dvwContent"), it should return me the number of entries found, referring to this question & answer: Count entries in XPages view
If the number of hits exceeds the page display limit, it is giving me the number of filled rows on the page + 2. So if I display 25 lines per page, it tells me that "27 documents have been found" (if I display 50 docs, it tells me 52) - even if there are a lot more pages. It works correctly if there are less hits than the page display limit.
Does anybody have a solution for displaying/counting the correct number of hits?
As Stefan mentioned in his comment .getRowCount() refers to the rows visible on the page. From what I get you're interested in the entries of the view rather than the rows shown by the redering component.
One option that comes to my mind would be to access the viewEntryCollection object through the Domino view in question and then get the entry count from that:
var vw=database.getView("dvwContent");
var filter=["someFilter"];
var vec=vw.getAllEntriesByKey(filter, true);
return vec.getCount().toString() + " documents have been found";
I am using flickr api in order to count the how many times a tag occur. I want this information in order to calculate the Normalized Google Distance. I am using this query in my java code:
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&tags=bank
But i don't get good results. For example when i search "bank" the count value is 357439, when i search "credit" the count value is 59288, but when i am search for "bank credit" the count value is only 2. When i searching with the search box at flickr.com for "bank credit" i get a lot of results. But as far as i can see the query it uses is
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=bank%20credit
which i am not able to use through my java code. I am trying to pass this
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&q=bank
and it says
Parameterless searches have been disabled. Please use flickr.photos.getRecent instead
How can i solve this problem?
Your generated url is incorrect
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&q=bank
is missing the question mark
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&q=bank
UPDATE based on OP comments:
I didn't see you had the question mark on the top url string. Looking at it again, I did realize you are not passing in any valid parameters. "q" isn't one of the listed parameters on the search api page. Try something like below to search photos with "bank" tag
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&tags=bank
or one with bank in description/title
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=XXXXXXX&format=json&text=bank
I got the same error. but when I added media = photos in the parameters, it got resolved.
e.g. :
baseurl = "https://api.flickr.com/services/rest/"
params_d['api_key'] = 'XXXXXXX'
params_d['method'] = 'flickr.photos.search'
params_d['tag'] = "river,mountains"
params_d['tag_mode'] = 'all'
params_d['per_page'] = 5
params_d['media'] = "photos"
params_d['nojsoncallback'] = 1
params_d['format'] = 'json'
resp = requests.get(baseurl, params = params_d)
