Set visible Tab or section in dynamics crm 2011 - dynamics-crm-2011

I'm a bit confused how to use that function. I'd like to hide/show tab and section by using this logic.
function setVisibleTabSection(tabname, sectionname, show) {
var tab = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabname);
if (tab != null) {
if (sectionname == null)
tab.setVisible(show);
else {
var section = tab.sections.get(sectionname);
if (section != null) {
section.setVisible(show);
if (show)
tab.setVisible(show);
}
}
}
}
I didn't get how to invoke the function properly.
I created this function, also, a tab ("tab_8"), the section name is ("tab_8_section_1"), where I put the text field ("new_conf_report").
after that, I call this function (at the same place where a code was written) as setVisibleTabSection("tab_8", "tab_8_section_1", false);
moreover, I call this function "onLoad" event
however I got the next errors:
" var tab = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabname); "'Xrm.Page.ui.tabs' - IS null or it isn't object
"tab.setVisible(show); " Object doesn't support this method
thanks in advance

You can debug your code. Just put the word debugger in JS code. When you launch the form press F12 in tab Script press "begin script" and you are able to step by step understand how the code is working.
If you are passing strings you have to call them like this:
setVisibleTabSection("tab", "Sectname", false);

Unable to Invoke Inserted Javascript Fragment

I am attempting to insert a Javascript fragment into a webpage and then invoke it using blue prism. The purpose of this is to analyse what elements are returned from a search to determine where to go next in the overall process flow.
I have tested the Javascript code on the intended website using the IE 11 developer console and it works without issue. The code is below in case it is useful.
function includes(stringToCheck, CharacterToSearchFor)
{
var found = new Boolean();
var splitString = stringToCheck.split("");
for (var index = 0; index < splitString.length; index++)
{
if(splitString[index] == CharacterToSearchFor)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
function getPartners() //declare a function which can be called from BP. once called all code within the enclosing {} will be run
{
var searchResults = document.getElementsByClassName("findASolicitorListItem"); //search the web page for all elements with a specific tag and store them in a variable called searchResults.
if(searchResults.length == 0) // If the number
{
alert( "No Solicitors were found.");
}else if(searchResults.length == 1)
{
var innerSearchResults = searchResults[0].getElementsByTagName("span");
for(i = 0; i < innerSearchResults.length; i++)
{
var spanText = innerSearchResults[i].innerText.toString();
if((spanText != ""))
{
if(!includes(spanText, "|"))
{
alert("One Solicitor found. " + spanText);
}
}
}
}else if (searchResults.length > 1)
{
alert( "More than one solicitor was found. Manual Checking required.");
}
}
This is stored in a data item and is passed into the Navigate stage (Insert Javascript Fragment) parameter.
PrintScreen of Insert Javascript Fragment stage
When this stage is ran it successfully injects the Javascript functions into the webpage.
I then try and invoke this inserted javascript fragment
Printscreen of Invoke Javascript Function stage
When this stage runs I get the following error message raised by Blue Prism.
Internal : Failed to perform step 1 in Navigate Stage 'Analyse Result' on page 'Analyse Search Results' - Failed while invoking javascript method:Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020101-> at mshtml.HTMLWindow2Class.IHTMLWindow2_execScript(String code, String language)
at BluePrism.ApplicationManager.HTML.clsHTMLDocument.InvokeJavascriptMethod(String methodname, String jsonargs, Object& retval, String& sErr)
I have searched for this error code and found this answer which indicates there is a problem with the code however I can manually run this code just fine.
Does anyone have any experience with using these methods in BluePrism or have seen this error message before who can help me resolve?
I was actually never able to get Invoke Function working reliably with parameters, I always use Insert Fragment for everything, invoking included.
If you insert this function as a fragment...
function sayHello(name)
{
alert("Hello " + name + "!");
}
...to invoke it you just insert this as another fragment:
sayHello("World");
Tadaa!
As a side note, I am not sure which element in Application Modeler you are using for fragment insertion, but it seems like you are using the root (application) node. I had better experience with inserting the fragment to a dedicated HTML BODY element, for some reason the performance is much greater.
To invoke function by action "Invoke Javascript function", in Arguments field you should put arguments in JSON syntax. If there is no argument you put "[{}]".
On the above Marek's example the function should look:
function sayHello(name)
{
alert("Hello " + name.name + "!");
}
and arguments: "[{'name':'world'}]".

How to prevent global event handlers from firing caused by an API call

I have a custom module that uses Kentico API (DocumentHelper) to update certain fields of my document and then publish but I do not want it to trigger the event handlers that are linked to my document page type. I tried adding comments to .Publish("admin_edit") hoping that I can catch it from the WorkflowEventargs parameter but the VersionComment property always return null. Is there a way to accomplish this in Kentico?
update field:
var document = DocumentHelper.GetDocument(documentID, tree);
var workflowManager = WorkflowManager.GetInstance(tree);
var workflow = workflowManager.GetNodeWorkflow(document);
if (workflow != null)
{
document.CheckOut();
document.SetValue("SomeFIeld", "some value");
document.Update(true);
document.CheckIn();
document.Publish("admin_edit");
}
event handler:
public override void Init()
{
WorkflowEvents.Publish.After += Publish_After;
}
private void Publish_After(object sender, WorkflowEventArgs e)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(e.VersionComment) &&
e.VersionComment.Contains("admin_edit"))
return;
}
You always get null for Version information, because that is related to the 'Page versioning' events, specially for 'SaveVersion'. You can find more about that on this link. If you expand 'Properties' you will see which properties are populated for the specific event. In your case, you can try something like this, to add your message for last version and then check for that comment on 'Publish_After' event, see code bellow:
var document = DocumentHelper.GetDocument(documentID, tree);
var workflowManager = WorkflowManager.GetInstance(tree);
var workflow = workflowManager.GetNodeWorkflow(document);
if (workflow != null)
{
document.CheckOut();
document.SetValue("SomeFIeld", "some value");
document.Update(true);
document.CheckIn(versionComment: "admin_edit");
document.Publish();
}
and then, in event handler, take last version and check for comment like this:
if (e.PublishedDocument?.VersionHistory?.Count > 0)
{
var lastVersion = e.PublishedDocument.VersionHistory[0] as VersionHistoryInfo;
if (lastVersion.VersionComment.Equals("admin_edit"))
{
return;
}
}
NOTE: In case that you have a lot of concurrent content editors, there is a chance that your last version is not version from API (someone changed content and saved it right after your API call made change). There is a low chance for that, but still is possible. If this is something that you will use often, you must take it in consideration. This code is tested for Kentico 11.

Remove parent div if duplicate words

I'm using a service called Embedly to style my RSS feeds from Google Feedburner. I have an example code over her: JsFiddle
If you look closely you will see the source (CNN) at the end of every title. This is called .provider I would like to get rid of the whole div (.embed) IF the the word CNN is located elsewere (meaning duplicate) in the div, either .description or a
I tried many things, this is one of them really straight forward code:
$('.embed').each(function() {
if($('.embed a:first **could also be .description**', this).text() == $('.provider', this).text())
$(this).remove();
});
I cant figure out why its not working. I also used it with on and live click with no luck.
I just realized the 'embeds' are not there on document tready. I added a button with click event which you can click after the embedly has loaded in: http://jsfiddle.net/2VBSX/37/
You can use success event to filter provider class from the data like this :
EDITED
$('div.newscontainer').embedly({
key: ':3eccf441bf0f43acbb076da9817af27d',
success: function(oembed, dict) {
output = $(oembed['code']);
description = $(oembed['code']).find(".description").text();
var regex =new RegExp(output.find('.provider').text(),"i");
if(regex.exec(description) == null ) {
$(dict["node"]).parent().html(output);
}
output.find("a:eq(0)").text(); // First
output.find("a:eq(1)").text(); // Provider
}
});
Checkout this jsfiddle demo
Is it that what you want?
var regex = /CNN/;
$('.embed').each(function(index, element) {
if (regex.exec($('.embed a:first').text()) != null
&& regex.exec($('.provider').text()) != null) {
element.remove();
}
});

Trying to Use LoadMoreElement in Monotouch.Dialog

I am using Monotouch to write an Ipad app. The app uses tables to browse down through a directory tree and then select a file. I have used Monotouch.Dialog to browse the directories and I set up the directory tables as the app starts.However there are too many files to set up in a table as the app starts and so I want to set up the 'file table' as the file is selected from the lowest level directory table. I am trying to use LoadMoreElement to do this but I cannot make it work or find any examples online. I have coded the 'Elements API Walkthrough' in the Xamarin tutorial at:- http://docs.xamarin.com/ios/tutorials/MonoTouch.Dialog
I then add a new section to the code:-
_addButton.Clicked += (sender, e) => {
++n;
var task = new Task{Name = "task " + n, DueDate = DateTime.Now};
var taskElement = new RootElement (task.Name){
new Section () {
new EntryElement (task.Name,
"Enter task description", task.Description)
},
new Section () {
new DateElement ("Due Date", task.DueDate)
},
new Section()
{
new LoadMoreElement("Passive","Active",
delegate {MyAction();})
}
};
_rootElement [0].Add (taskElement);
Where MyAction is:-
public void MyAction()
{
Console.WriteLine ("we have been actioned");
}
The problem is that MyAction is triggered and Console.Writeline writes the message but the table stays in the active state and never returns to passive. the documentation says:-
Once your code in the NSAction is finished, the UIActivity indicator stops animating and the normal caption is displayed again.
What am I missing?
Ian
You need to set the "Animating" property in the element to false.
Like this:
LoadMoreElement loadMore = null;
loadMore = new LoadMoreElement (
"Passive", "Active",
delegate {loadMore.Animating = false;});
Where did you see any documentation that says that the animation stops when the delegate stops running? If that is documented anywhere, that is wrong.

CRM 2011 Navigation Items in Form

How to collapse/expand navigation items in form? There is a function setDisplayState but that is for Tabs and not for navigation items.
How can navigation items be collapsed/expand using javascript for crm 2011??
The Xrm object allows for interacting with navigation items, but not with the navigation tabs themselves, so you'll have to use unsupported methods (which may/may not be entirely broken or otherwise made irrelevant in the next version of Dynamics CRM).
Below is an example that checks the collapsed state of each navigation tab and collapses them appropriately.
function SetCollapsedState(navigationName, makeCollapsed) {
var navItems = document.getElementById("crmFormNavSubareas");
for (i = 0; i < navItems.childNodes.length; i++) {
var navItem = navItems.childNodes.item(i);
var navChild = navItem.firstChild.firstChild;
var navName = navChild.attributes.getNamedItem("alt").nodeValue;
if (navName.indexOf(navigationName) === 0) {
// The "alt" property changes to read "Collapsed" or "Expanded" when
// the navigation tab is clicked; this is how I imagine the internal
// CRM js checks the collapsed state of each tab.
if ((makeCollapsed === true && navName.indexOf("Expanded") > 0)
|| (makeCollapsed === false && navName.indexOf("Collapsed") > 0)) {
navItem.firstChild.click();
}
}
}
}
P.S. Your answer included as a comment to your question (which, by the way, should probably be made into an actual answer) addresses your question similarly, but I decided to post anyway to include a more comprehensive function as well as mentioning what exactly the Xrm object handles/doesn't handle.
