Change Order of Literal Entries in R# Snippet Templates - visual-studio-2012

So the R# template for foreach looks like this:
foreach ($TYPE$ $VARIABLE$ in $COLLECTION$)
{
$END$
}
The problem is that it jumps me to enter $COLLECTION$, then $TYPE$, then $VARIABLE$, but my mental process is $TYPE$, $VARIABLE$, $COLLECTION$, and the ordering is tripping me up all the time. Is there a way to change the order in which these get entered? I didn't see anything in the template specifying order.
EDIT
Of course, I found the answer as soon as posed the question. Edit the template from Template Explorer and change the order of the variables on the right.

How to tell MODX wayFinder to detect the resource ID it is currently on

I am new to WayFinder but I have been working with it a bit and it has worked great for me, However I need something a little more dynamic that I'm not sure how to do.
I have a set of 5 pages in my website and each page has another side menu, but each menu for all five resources will be slightly different
I need wayfinder to detect what the current ID is and then display the appropriate menu
I've tried a couple things but nothign i can get to work:
[[!If? &subject=[[*28]] &then=[[Wayfinder? &startId=27&excludeDocs=28,29,30,31,32,33,89]]]]
So I need to say if the ID is = to 28 display this menu if the ID is = to 29 display this one and so on.
I've also tried &idIs=28 and a couple other variations but couldn't really find anything to help me out on this Does anyone else have any ideas how to make this work? Thank you.
With the solution typeset suggest, wayfinder will be called each time thereby causing uneeded loading time to your site. This will be faster because wayfinder only will be called when id = 28.
[[[[*id:is=`28`:then=`Wayfinder? &startId=27 &excludeDocs=28,29,30,31,32,33,89`:else=``]]]]
Read more on it here: http://modx.com/blog/2012/09/14/tags-as-the-result-or-how-conditionals-are-like-mosquitoes/
You can use output filters for conditional calls. Documentation for them is here
You code would looks something like this:
[[*id:is=`28`:then=`[[Wayfinder? &startId=27&excludeDocs=28,29,30,31,32,33,89]]`:else=``]]
If the menu needs to start from the current ID then you'd use
&startId=`[[*id]]`
If you want it to show all the resources in the current folder, you can use UltimateParent, so
&startId=`[[UltimateParent]]`
Hope this helps!
This should work. The subject is just the parameter you are comparing it against so it shouldn't contain the value.
[[!If?
&subject=`[[*id]]`
&operator=`EQ`
&operand=`28`
&then=`[[Wayfinder? &startId=`27` &excludeDocs=`28,29,30,31,32,33,89`]]`
]]

Get count of items in a velocity list

I'm creating a set of custom templates and structures for a Liferay site.
One structure provides for a repeatable section, which its matching template then iterates over.
However, for styling reasons, I need to know how many instances of the repeatable section are actually present, and I need to know before I loop.
So, the template code is something like this:
#foreach($thisChunk in $chunk.getSiblings())
[emit some HTML]
#end
I want to do some conditional logic before the foreach, and emit a different CSS classname on the containing element depending on how many $chunks there are.
Any ideas how to access the number of siblings without looping through them first?
Easy: $chunk.getSiblings().size()
How to find out? It's a plain old Java object (java.util.ArrayList in my quick test). You can find this out when you just temporarily debug your template with $chunk.getSiblings().getClass().getName() and then continue with the interface of that class.

Dividing long content to subpages

I need to divide long content to sub-pages.
Rule for dividing: Heading1 (H1)
Cms-system: MODX Evolution
As far as i know, there is nothing in modx to use for this kind of problem.
I probably got to do this manually anyway, but i still would like to know if there is a way to do this in MODX Evo / Revo.
Edit:
I need to do this in MODX; sub-pages got to be actual subpages, and original page becomes to container.
Navigation will be done with wayfinder.
Edit2:
All done.. manually. Question still open, though.
This is not possible out of the box and I don't know of any extra that archieves what you want. You would have to write a plugin that acts everytime you save a resource and split up the content, create/delete sibling resources as needed etc. Sounds like a lot of work for what you want to archieve to me.
I suppose you have a look at the MIGX extra. It provides you with a TV with the possibility to store an indefinite amount of distinct TV content sets. Have a look at the documentation and Mark Hamstra's tutorial (with screenshots) to see how it is done. You should define one MIGX entry to consist of a text field for the <h1> and a rich text field for the content of the "subpage".
Afterwards, you can use form customization to hide the original content field and display your MIGX Tv instead.
I think, this is a much easier way to archieve, what you want, and can't think of any way, where you would benefit from actual subpages.
Edit: Sorry, I just recognized that you were asking about Evolution, not Revolution. My solution would work in Revo, but I don't think there's something like MIGX for Evo. Sorry, my mistake.
not 'out of the box' you will have to run your content through a snippet to parse it into separate divs or something that you can run some javascript on to possibly 'tab' the content.
If you need to show the 'subpages' in your navigation, you will probably have to use the gatResources extra to parse your content ~ which will be very expensive on resource usage.
You can (depending on how you're using the tree) just create actual sub resources under the parent resource, using Ditto or Wayfinder to build navigation for it.
If you can't use the tree like that (though from your description I think you can), you could also set up a number of template variables ("content1", "content2", "content3" etc) and show that with a simple snippet or so.

Codedui object map/properties recording settings

Can anyone help me with this here codedui? I can't seem to find the option to choose when doing a recording on what properties for the object map to use. like for example,
when I do a recording for a calculator or "Something" and do an action/a click on "button 1" It just directly gets all the properties like, ID, name, classname etc. for that single object.
So, my question would be is there any possible settings when recording that I could tick like just use a couple of the properties not all? (ie. ID)
BTW, I'm using VS2010 ultimate.
Cheers,
Kerwin
UIMap editor that comes with feature pack 2 is the best solution for editing seacrh/filter properties of the control.
I have been working on something similar but haven't come up with a really good solution there are a few options but none of them are particularly user friendly or intuitive. You can hook the UIMap save function and prevent it from recording unwanted properties, note that this can make your tests brittle less properties generally means more failed searches. The UIMap is made by an XML file and you can parse and edit it directly. If you only have a few properties to get rid of you can use the UIMap editor that comes with feature pack 2.

How to Iterate a Resharper Template?

I have a small Resharper Template I have written for Null check of a function Parameter (C#).
Check.IsNotNull($param$, "$param$"); - Suggest Parameter - #1
I can now null check the function paramters one by one. But I want to be able to null check all the paramters at once through a template. Is it Possible in Resharper?. Is there someting like a "$Foreach" using which I can loop through parameter variables and write the code to check them one by one ?. (without writing out the foreach into the code)
I see that the "Alt + Ins" does something similar. (Taking all Properties on the class and making them as parameters of a constructor). So hoping that there's a way out.
Sadly, there isn't a way to do that right now. I created an issue at youtrack.jetbrains.net though: RSRP-263951 Live templates: ability to create templates that write code for each parameter/property/field etc.. Vote there if you want to see this feature in future versions of ReSharper.
