I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
I have to show a popup by clicking a link that is located in the page template. For this I created a popup within the pageTemplate then inserted a dialogBox and within the dialog box I dragged and dropped my VO from the DataControl panel and inserted it as an ADF form. The problem is that when I run and click the link (that contains the "ShowPopupBehavior") I am getting this error:
//C:/Oracle/Middleware/jdeveloper/jdev/system11.1.2.3.39.62.76.1/MyNew/ViewControllerWebApp.war/WEB-INF/templates/myTemplates.jsf #58,118 value="#{bindings.TypeName.inputValue}": Target Unreachable, 'TypeName' returned null
ADF_FACES-60097:For more information, please see the server's error log for an entry beginning with: ADF_FACES-60096:Server Exception during PPR, #2
This happens for every View that I can insert here. Is this comming because I am not allowed to insert ADF forms within the page template?
If so please give me a hint to achieve what I explained in the first sentence.
I just figured out the solution to this problem. Each page has its own bindings, so a page that uses the templates (or if want to use bindings from other pages) has to declare that page in the Executables section of the page Bindings. The new executable should have the ID of the page (of the template in this case) and the path of the page. Then the bindings of the template can be accessed as explained here:
public String cb1_action() {
BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
DCBindingContainer bindings =
(DCBindingContainer)bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
//access the page template Pagedef file reference in the
//Executable section of the consumer page's Pagedef file
DCBindingContainer templateBinding =
(DCBindingContainer)bindings.get("ptb1");
//get the MethodBinding
OperationBinding printMethod =
(OperationBinding)templateBinding .get("printThis");
//invoke the print method exposed on the template's PageDef file
printMethod.getParamsMap().put("message","Hello World");
printMethod.execute();
return null;
}

ps: Pay attention not to bind the value of the template in your page ex: value="#{bindings.ptb1}" - it is a bit strange but in this case you will not get the page bindings and will get only the template ones.
The value property containing #{bindings.ptb1} should be removed from the pageTemplate tag but the ptb1 reference has to be in the pages PageDef file.

I am creating a page template. Each page using the template will have a single unique value that gets embedded into the page HTML. The rest of the HTML is constant for all pages. Assume the following is the desired result:
click me
I want a template that provides click me, while allowing the individual pages (content admins) to provide id.
I've tried using an Editable Text web part, and putting the "before" and "after" HTML in the HTML Envelope before and after sections, and adding the ID on the "Page" tab. However, that is not quite working. What is the best way to accomplish this?
This can be done. What you'd want to do is add that field to the page type fields you're adding those pages with. For instance, say you have a list of locations under /locations.
i.e.:
/location/chicago
/location/new-york
/location/minneapolis
The locations themselves (Chicago, New York, Minneapolis) are your custom page type and have a unique field called LocationID. On your template, add a static text webpart (not static HTML because the WYSIWYG editor overwrites the markup you add) and simply add this:
click me
If the LocationID field has a exists AND has a value, it will output it, otherwise it will just leave the URL http://www.example.com/
If you didn't want to show that link at all on other pages, then set the Show for page types property based on the page type you want it to show for in the Visibility section of the static text webpart.
I have created a custom module (actually I have created a handful in recent years, and this same obstacle frustrates me every time) following the Kentico documentation:
https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Creating+custom+modules
The problem I end up with every time, is in developing the User Interface for Parent/Child classes. I create a Vertical Tab node, and beneath it I add an edit tab and a Binding tab for the child class. This all works, and I can add and remove bindings at will, but what I can't do is ADD a new child class and bind it.
Using the Standard Edit Binding template, I am able to bind EXISTING Job Titles to the selected Category, but I cannot CREATE a new one from that page:
To solve this, I created a custom Edit Binding template, and added a New Child Class Header Action that points to a New / Edit Object child:
Which gives me a button that I can use to add a new child class (Job Title):
This approach works per se, in that I can click the New Job Title button and create a new item on the subsequent page:
But no binding is created to link the child object (Job Title) to the selected parent object (Category), An even bigger problem is that once I click Save, I am presented with the following:
The new object DOES SAVE, but the post-save navigation is somehow failing. The event log offers little in the way of diagnostics:
So I thought to create a completely custom interface to accomplish my needs here, according to the Kentico documentation:
https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Manually+creating+the+interface+for+custom+modules
So I change the Element Content of the New Job Title page to a custom page that I created to post a DataForm for the new object:
Taking care to assign the proper Object Types on the Properties Tab:
The intent was to programmatically create the binding upon save and also handle the correct navigation to avoid the ambiguous parameter error above, but when this page loads, the UIContext.ObjectID and UIContext.ParentObjectID are both 0:
So I cannot create the binding programmatically. I was able however to solve the error that I received by manually assigning the redirect. The experience is still lacking even with this hack, since it returns to the listing page, but the user still has to click "Add Items" to assign the binding after successfully creating it with the custom page I built.
This cannot be the proper way to do this, so any help with getting me on the right track would be greatly appreciated.
In order for the EditedObject to have a value you have to either decorate the page with the EditedObjectAtribute e.g. like this:
[EditedObject("<custom.objecttype>", "<objectid>", ...)]
or set the object yourself:
int objectId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("objectid", 0);
EditedObject = SomeInfoProvider.GetSomeInfo(objectId);
In your case, I'd recommend exploring what query parameters are available on the page and using them to fetch appropriate object(s). Also, make sure "JobCategoryId" is passed to the "New Job Title" dialog so that you can create the binding.
Btw - kudos for well asked question!
In orchard, I've added a boolean field called "IsDone" to the built in Content Menu Item content part via that Admin interface. I've then picked an item in Navigation and set the option to "yes" for the corresponding field i added.
In my custom theme, I've copied over MenuItem.cshtml.
How would I get the value of my custom "IsDone" field here?
I've tried something like
dynamic item = Model.ContentItem;
var myValue = item.MenuItem.IsDone.Value;
but I'm pretty sure my syntax is incorrect (because i get null binding errors at runtime).
thanks in advance!
First i suggest you use the shape alternate MenuItemLink-ContentMenuItem.cshtml instead of MenuItem.cshtml to target the content menu item directly.
Secondly, the field is attached to the ContentPart of the menu item. The following code retrieves the boolean field from this content part:
#using Orchard.ContentManagement;
#using System.Linq;
#{
Orchard.ContentManagement.ContentItem lContentItem = Model.Content.ContentItem;
var lBooleanField = lContentItem
.Parts
.Where(p => p.PartDefinition.Name == "ContentMenuItem") // *1
.SelectMany(p => p.Fields.Where(f => f.Name == "IsDone"))
.FirstOrDefault() as Orchard.Fields.Fields.BooleanField;
if (lBooleanField != null)
{
bool? v = lBooleanField.Value;
if (v.HasValue)
{
if (v.Value)
{
#("done")
}
else
{
#("not done")
}
}
else
{
#("not done")
}
}
}
*1
Sadly you cannot simply write lContentItem.As<Orchard.ContentManagement.ContentPart>() here as the first part in the part list is derived from this type, thus you would receive the wrong part.
While #ViRuSTriNiTy's answer is probably correct, it doesn't take advantage of the power of the dynamic objects that Orchard provides.
This is working for me but is a much shorter version:
#Model.Text
#{
bool? IsDone = Model.Content.ContentMenuItem.IsDone.Value;
var IsItDoneThough = (IsDone.HasValue ? IsDone.Value : false);
}
<p>Is it done? #IsItDoneThough</p>
You can see that in the first line I pull in the IsDone field using the dynamic nature of the Model.
For some reason (I'm sure there is a good one somewhere) the BooleanField uses a bool? as its backing value. This means that if you create the new menu item and just leave the checkbox blank it will be null when you query it. After you have saved it as checked it will be true and then if you go back and uncheck it then it will have the value false.
The second line that I've provided IsItDoneThough checks if it has a value yet. If it does then it uses that, otherwise it assumes it to be false.
Shape Alternate
#ViRuSTriNiTy's other advice, to change it to use the MenuItemLink-ContentMenuItem.cshtml instead of MenuItem.cshtml is also important.
The field doesn't exist on other menu items so it will crash if you try to access it. Just rename the .cshtml file to fix this.
Dynamic Model
Just to wrap this up with a little bit of insight as to how I got there (I'm still learning this as well) the way I figured it out is as follows:
.Content is a way of casting the current content item to dynamic, so you can use the dynamic advantages with the rest of line;
When you add the field in the admin panel it looks like it should be right there on the ContentItem, however it actually creates an invisible ContentPart to contain them and calls it whatever the ContentItem's type is.
So if you had added this field to a Page content type you would have used Model.Content.Page.IsDone.Value. If you had made a new content type called banana it would be Model.Content.Banana.IsDone.Value, etc.
Once you are inside the "invisible" part which holds the fields you can finally get at IsDone. This won't give you the actual value yet though. Each Field has its own properties which you can look up in the source code. the IsDone is actually a BooleanField and it exposes its data via the Value property.
Try doing a solution-wide search for : ContentField to see the classes for each of the fields you have available.
Hopefully this will have explained things clearly but I have actually written about using fields in a blog post and as part of my getting started with modules course over on the official docs (its way down in part 3 if you're curious).
Using built-in features instead of IsDone
This seems like a strange approach to do it this way. If you have a Content Item like a Page then you can just use the "Show on a menu" setting on the page.
Go to admin > content > open the page > down near the bottom you will find "Show on a menu":
This will automatically put it into your navigation and then you can move it around to where you want:
After it "IsDone" you can just go back and untick the "Show on a menu" option.
Setting up the alternative .cshtml
To clarify your comments about how to use the alternative, you need to
Copy the file you have at Orchard.Core/Shapes/Views/MenuItem.cshtml over to your theme's view folder so its /Views/MenuItem.cshtml
Rename the copy in your theme to MenuItem-ContentMenuItem.cshtml
Delete probably everything in it and paste in my sample at the start of this post. You don't want most of the original MenuItem.cshtml code in there as it is doing some special tricks to change itself into a different shape which isn't what you want.
Reset your original Orchard.Core/Shapes/Views/MenuItem.cshtml back to the factory default, grab it from the official Orchard repository
Understanding the view names
From your comments you asked about creating more specific views (known as alternates). You can use something call the Shape Tracer to view these. The name of them follows a certain pattern which makes them more and more specific.
You can learn about the alternates on the official docs site:
Accessing and Rendering Shapes
Alternates
To figure out what shape is being used and what alternates are available you can use the shape tracing module which is documented here:
Getting Started with Shape Tracing
I have a template which includes a button that let you select a profile, you push the button and appear the available profiles, choose one and push accept. After that I set a variable session successfully.
I have a "First" jsf page with two jsff page fragments from a View Link. The view link is composed by a headerView and detailView. The headerView had a bind variable. What I need is that parameter (bindVariableParameter) can be set by the session variable of the template.
This is what I get:
I am in a home page (separate Application Module), I push the template button before I load de "First" jsf page and after that I go to the "First" jsf page the information is loaded successfully. What I do in the Application Module is something like that:
protected void prepareSession(Session session) {
Map sessionScope = ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope();
String company = (String)sessionScope.get("compId");
System.out.println("Default Comapny in BC is: " + company);
super.prepareSession(session);
this.getSession().getUserData().put("Company", company);
System.out.println("After setting value in userData map of BC");
}
And in the bind variable expression of the headerView I use:
adf.userSession.userData.Company
It works great!!!! But!!!!
When I press the button again and I choose another profile, the info is not updated. Neither in the headerView neither in the detailView.
Also, when I go to the "First" jsf page (without previously push the template button), I got no info, which is right, because I don't have any session variable. After that I push the template button and select the profile, but the page is not refreshed.
I tried several ways to to this but I'm lost.
Could you help me?
Regards.
You have two options for this:
Option one: tune your AM as follows:
jbo.doconnectionpooling=true
jbo.txn.disconnect_level = 1
This will ensure prepareSession() method is being called before each operation. This happens to be a best practice in ADF productions systems, increasing scalability (see here )
Option two: Better than using prepareSession(), you can pass the Http Session data to ADF BC through a custom DataControlFactory.
You can find an example here: http://andrejusb.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/solution-for-sharing-global-user-data.html
I have an Xpages application that pulls data from another .nsf file. I have a view panel linked to a view in that db. The view has documents with several different forms in it. I want to be able to open each document in it's own form(xpage).
How do I write a computed At Runtime, open selected document using: statement that will select the correct Xpage to present the document.
If you use the Data View component instead of a View Panel, you can compute the pageName attribute, referencing the var attribute to return a different value for each row based on the document that row represents. The flexibility of the Data View component also makes it easier to make your app look more like a modern web application and less like an Excel spreadsheet. As an additional bonus, the mobile theme invokes a renderer that makes each Data View instance look like a native mobile list, so using Data Views instead of View Panels simplifies mobile development.
You have 2 options:
use "use xpage associated with form" and edit the form's property
use a SSJS formula to compute the Form. You provide a variable name in the view control var to access a view row as XSPViewEntry. If the Form is in a view column even one you don't display you use .getColumnValue otherwise getDocument.getItemValueString
Does that work for you?
Maybe this mothed can help you: Unable to get document page name for
Hope this helps

I had a similar problem today. I use only one form but 3 different xpages for associated with this form. I have 3 different document types in the view. I used rowData the get the type of the document.
try{
var v=rowData.getColumnValue("form");
if(v.indexOf("x")> -1){var page ="x.xsp"}
else if(v.indexOf("y") > -1){var page = "y.xsp"}
else{var page = "z.xsp"}
}catch(e){
var page = "x.xsp"
}
So to your view you can create a column with the value of the form and you can use it.
I have used the extension library Dynamic View control which has an event you can code to get a handle to the NotesViewEntry which was selected. See the demo database page Domino_DynamicView.xsp and the Custom Event Handler tab for an example.
Note, in 8.5.3 (I have not upgraded yet) if you add or edit the eventHandler for onColumnClick it will be added to the XPages source as an xe:eventHandler. It needs to be an xp:eventHandler to work. The way to do it is to copy the code in the source from the exiting event and delete it. Recreate the event and update the code. Then go back into the source and change the tags within the eventHandler to xp:.
