Not really that easy question here. :)
A customer has a field ownerid that is used as the lookup to a salesperson. I've changed the text of the label from Owner to Hazaa and I can see it take effect.
The problem is that Hazaa only displays in the English version (the base language of the installtion), while the language that is used for the users is Swedish. The users with Swedish language selected see the default translation, while they'd like to see Hazaa instead.
How can this be done?!
I could, perhaps, play around with exporting the language for translation, editing it and, then, importing back. However, that's a little, tiny, wimsy bit overkill for changing a single label. However, I suspect that only a few entities will require hazaa-fication of the ownerid field, while the rest is supposed to be left as is.
The supported way to translate the label is using the translation process (an example can be found here)
Maybe you can consider to create an unmanaged solution that contains only that entity, in order to export only the necessary labels.
There is also a tool recently released by Tanguy Touzard in his toolbox, I didn't use it yet, but you can find more information here:

Just like TImageList contains a collection of images, is there a similar component for generic files?
I know I can embed files as resources, but I'd like the convenience of storing different groups of files in different "TFileList" components, and to be able to retrieve files by name or by their position in the list.
Extra points if such a component allowed some sort of design time preview of the file content (just like TImageList lets you see what each image looks like, at design time).
(I come from Delphi where I wrote my own component to do the above, but before I rewrite and port the property editor and all that to Lazarus, maybe there is already something that is tried and tested...)
Thanks!
You can use pre-defined lazarus TFPGList to specialize list of the type, that you want, for example - UTF8String
But, there's no T<>List as a component, only as object.
So, yes, this feature will be useful and i can implement, if have time,
also, there's a very limited RTTI, which has been updated only a few months ago, so you can access Methods and Properties now, so FP is more systemized, than delphi pascal, but also not so enterprise-developed, which limits it to implementations for common opensource and shareware project problems.
Nevertheless, it is more stable and supported, even my friends can contribute.
I am building a notes-like application. It has a NStableview displaying all notes' titles, and a NStextview displaying the plain text of the selected note. I am using bindings and core data. I want to have a search feature:
1. the tableview only shows the notes that contains the text you query
2. the textview displays the first note, and highlight the text you queried
I just started doing Cocoa development, and not sure how to implement this, and what classes and methods should I use. I googled around, and didn't find a good answer.
Can anyone please give me some ideas and resource to look at? Thanks.
If you have an NSSearchField in your xib, you can go to the bindings inspector and bind a predicate to it, instead of a value. Leave the model key path empty, and in Predicate Format (pretend your model is storing the text content with the attribute name "textContent") put this:
textContent contains[c] $value
The [c] tells it to search regardless of the case. It will automatically update your NSTableView if you're using bindings for that.
As far as highlighting your content, I'm not sure there's an easy way to do this with bindings (there might be).
Edit: Make sure you bind it to your NSArrayController, even though you leave the model key path blank
Two questions, hopefully with similar answers.
I'll be releasing a JavaScript package in my solution where the error messages are to be displayed. The problems is that I'll be targeting German, English and French. Possibly, also a fourth language TBD. What would be the nicest way to resolve this?
The label names should definitely be localized. Is there a built-in approach to that in CRM 2011? Like a resource table or something like that?
My current solution for (1) is to keep an extra web resource with the strings and distributing a different file for each language. I may rebuild it and distribute all the languages at once and only use a parameter, possibly settable from the GUI if I create a settings-entity. A bit cumbersome.
My current solution for (2) involves a lot of praying and a divine act of some sort. :)
To determine current CRM user language dynamically from Javascript you can use window.USER_LANGUAGE_CODE (this variable exists on all CRM pages) - for example it will be equal 1033 for English. Than based on that info, you can pick needed string resources from your file.
Also in forms context there are two predefined functions, which return current Organization language code and current User language code: Xrm.Page.context.getOrgLcid() and
Xrm.Page.context.getUserLcid() .
If you are talking about custom entities and fields, you can easily add localized display names for them via your solution. You need to edit customizations.xml file from your unzipped solution. For each attribute there you will find such XML containing display names:
<displaynames>
<displayname description="Created By" languagecode="1033" />
</displaynames>
You can just add new display names for each language you need there.
P.S. If someone interested in different aspects of multilangual support for Dynamics CRM 2011 solutions, I strongly recommend to review this page, also here and here is a very helpful reading.
I'm relatively new to Expression Engine, and as I'm learning it I am seeing some stuff missing that WordPress has had for a while. A big one for me is shortcodes, since I will use these to allow CMS users to place more complex content in place with their other content.
I'm not seeing any real equivalent to this in EE, apart from a forthcoming plugin that's in private beta.
As an initial test I'm attempting to fake shortcodes by using delimited strings (e.g. #foo#) in the content field, then using a regex to pull those out and pass them to a function that can retrieve the content out of EE's database.
This brings me to a second question, which is that in looking at EE's API docs, there doesn't appear to be a simple means of retrieving the channel entries programmatically (thinking of something akin to WP's built-in get_posts function).
So my questions are:
a) Can this be done?
b) If so, is my method of approaching it reasonable? Or is there something stupidly obvious I'm missing in my approach?
To reiterate, my main objective here is to have some means of allowing people managing content to drop a code in place in their content that will be replaced with channel content.
Thanks for any advice or help you can give me.
Here's a simple example of the functionality you're looking for.
1) Start by installing Low Replace.
2) Create two Global Variables called gv_hello and gv_goodbye with the values "Hello" and "Goodbye" respectively.
3) Put this text into the body of an entry:
[say_hello]
Nice to see you.
[say_goodbye]
4) Put this into your template, wrapping the Low Replace tag around your body field.
{exp:low_replace
find="[say_hello]|[say_goodbye]"
replace="{gv_hello}|{gv_goodbye}"
multiple="yes"
}
{body}
{/exp:low_replace}
5) It should output this into your browser:
Hello
Nice to see you.
Goodbye
Obviously, this is a really simple example. You can put full blown HTML into your global variable. For example, we've used that to render a complex, interactive graphic that isn't editable but can be easily dropped into a page by any editor.
Unfortunately, due to parse order issues, EE tags won't work inside Global Variables. If you need EE tags in your short code output, you'll need to use Low Variables addon instead of Global Variables.
Continued from the comment:
Do you have examples of the kind of shortcodes you want to support/include? Because i have doubts if controlling the page-layout from a text-field or wysiwyg-field is the way to go.
If you want editors to be able to adjust layout or show/hide extra parts on the page, giving them access to some extra fields in the channel, is (imo) much more manageable and future-proof. For instance some selectfields, a relationship (or playa) field, or a matrix, to let them choose which parts to include/exclude on a page, or which entry from another channel to pull content from.
As said in the comment: i totally understand if you want to replace some #foo# tags with images or data from another field (see other answers: nsm-transplant, low_replace). But, giving an editor access to shortcodes and picking them out, is like writing a template-engine to generate ee-template code for the ee-template-engine.
Using some custom fields to let editors pick and choose parts to embed is, i think, much more manageable.
That being said, you could make a plugin to parse the shortcodes from a textareas content, and then program a lot, to fetch data from other modules you want to support. For channel entries you could build out of the channel data library by objectiveHTML. https://github.com/objectivehtml/Channel-Data
I hear you, I too miss shortcodes from WP -- though the reason they work so easily there is the ubiquity of the_content(). With the great flexibility of EE comes fewer blanket solutions.
I'd suggest looking at NSM Transplant. It should fit the bill for you.
There is also a plugin called Shortcode, which you can find here at
Devot-ee
A quote from the page:
Shortcode aims to allow for more dynamic use of content by authors and
editors, allowing for injection of reusable bits of content or even
whole pieces of functionality into any field in EE
I've been rewriting my (fairly simple) website using Yesod as a way to get familiar with the framework. Part of that involves serving some simple static (but formatted) content. To do that I decided to use the nicHtml field that is described in the Yesod book:
http://www.yesodweb.com/book/forms
It allows simple formatting and, as the book says, "thanks to the xss-sanitize package, all user input is validated and ensured to not have XSS attacks."
However, all is not well. Some formatting seems to work when you enter it into the field, but gets wiped out somewhere between entry and submission. In particular, the form uses css embedded in 'style' attributes to do things like center text, and it is these css based formatting elements that seem to get wiped out.
I used print statements to check that it wasn't my code which was somehow messing it up. Since it doesn't seem to be, I assume that xss-sanitize doesn't like any embedded css and removes it. Modifying Yesod.Form.Nic to remove the call to sanitizeBalance appears to fix the problem, so that would seem to be the cause.
Now, I can just leave it like that, since editing these static pages requires being a trusted user anyway (i.e. me at the moment), so I don't care too much about validating out nastiness. But it feels like what it is, a hack, so my question is - is there any other way around this? Or is there another package I don't know about that provides a non-broken HTML editor field for Yesod?
Will you file a bug on the Yesod issue tracker for this? I think we are going to have to allow basic css through the editor no matter which editor we use. In your case of a trusted user, right now you could find the NicEdit field type and create a similar type that won't get filtered at all. Perhaps we should create such a field.
We're actually looking at other possible rich text editors right now for use in the Yesod website, so most likely whatever we use there will end up with a module in yesod-form. Most recently Greg pointed out Aloha editor which on first glance looks pretty cool.
