I'm trying to get some currency exchange rates in a seperate php file in magento and saving them:
<?php
// Initiate application
$mageFilename = 'app/Mage.php';
require_once $mageFilename;
Mage::app();
// Code to create my $rates array
/** CODE **/
foreach ($rates as $currencyCode => $currencyRates) {
Mage::getModel('directory/currency')
->setId($currencyCode)
->setRates($currencyRates)
->save();
}
Error:
<br />

I turns out to be the save()-method where this happens.
Thoughts? Not sure where to start debugging this. If I knew where the rates were being stored would also be ok so I'd could insert them by hand ...
(I took the code from the Mage_Directory_Model_Currency_Import_Abstract class, normal saving through magento interface works fine)
Seems like you're trying to save the directory/currency when you need to save a directory/currency_rate. Simplest way to do that is to use the saveRates method on the directory/currency model that you create. i.e.
Array
(
[USD] => Array
(
[CAD] => 1.07
[GBP] => .63
[EUR] => .71
)
)
$currency = Mage::getModel('directory/currency')->saveRates($currencies);
My first thought is that starting Magento in the context of another PHP file, but without all the fixins that Magento provides when bootstrapping itself, seems risky.
The path of least resistance is, with very few exceptions, do let Magento be Magento and do its thing, the less hacking the better. With that in mind, is it possible for you to set up a Magento controller/action and invoke this data from there, or even consume it remotely (e.g. using file_get_contents)?

I'm trying to create dynamic pages based on a database that grows by the minute. Therefor it isn't an option to use createPage and build several times a day.
I'm using onCreatePage here to create pages which works fine for my first route, but when I try to make an English route somehow it doesn't work.
gatby-node.js:
exports.onCreatePage = async ({ page, actions: { createPage } }) => {
if (page.path.match(/^\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
if (page.path.match(/^\/en\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/en/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
}
What I'm trying to achieve here is getting 2 dynamic routes like:
localhost:8000/listing/123 (this one works)
localhost:8000/en/listing/123 (this one doesn't work)
My pages folder looks like this:
pages
---listing.tsx
---en/
------listing.tsx
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?
--
P.S. I want to use SSR (available since Gatsby v4) by using the getServerData() in the templates for these pages. Will that work together with pages created dynamically with onCreatePage or is there a better approach?
According to what we've discussed in the comment section: the fact that the /en/ path is never created, hence is not entering the following condition:
if (page.path.match(/^\/en\/listing/)) {
page.matchPath = '/en/listing/:id'
createPage(page)
}
Points me to think that the issue is on your createPages API rather than onCreatePage, which means that your english page is not even created.
Keep in mind that onCreatePage API is a callback called when a page is created, so it's triggered after createPages.
If you add a console.log(page.path) you shouldn't see the English page in the IDE/text editor console so try debugging how are you creating the /en/ route because it seems that onCreatePage doesn't have any problem.
Is there a way to make a script where I can do stuff like $this->EE->db (i.e. using Expression Engine's classes, for example to access the database), but that can be run in the command line?
I tried searching for it, but the docs don't seem to contain this information (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm using EE 2.4 (the link above should point to 2.4 docs).
The following article seems to have a possible approach: Bootstrapping EE for CLI Access
Duplicate your index.php file and name it cli.php.
Move the index.php file outside your DOCUMENT_ROOT. Now, technically, this isn’t required, but there’s no reason for prying
eyes to see your hard work so why not protect it.
Inside cli.php update the $system_path on line 26 to point to your system folder.
Inside cli.php update the $routing['controller'] on line 96 to be cli.
Inside cli.php update the APPPATH on line 96 to be $system_path.'cli/'.
Duplicate the system/expressionengine directory and name it system/cli.
Duplicate the cli/controllers/ee.php file and name it cli/controllers/cli.php.
Finally, update the class name in cli/controllers/cli.php to be Cli and remove the methods.
By default EE calls the index method, so add in an index method to do what you need.
#Zenbuman This was useful as a starting point although I would add I had issues with all of my requests going to cli -> index, whereas I wanted some that went to cli->task1, cli->task2 etc
I had to update *system\codeigniter\system\core\URI.php*so that it knew how to extract the parameters I was passing via the command line, I got the code below from a more recent version of Codeigniter which supports the CLI
// Is the request coming from the command line?
if (php_sapi_name() == 'cli' or defined('STDIN'))
{
$this->_set_uri_string($this->_parse_cli_args());
return;
}
// Let's try the REQUEST_URI first, this will work in most situations
and also created the function in the same file
private function _parse_cli_args()
{
$args = array_slice($_SERVER['argv'], 1);
return $args ? '/' . implode('/', $args) : '';
}
Also had to comment out the following in my cli.php file as all routing was going to the index method in my cli controller and ignoring my parameters
/*
* ~ line 109 - 111 /cli.php
* ---------------------------------------------------------------
* Disable all routing, send everything to the frontend
* ---------------------------------------------------------------
*/
$routing['directory'] = '';
$routing['controller'] = 'cli';
//$routing['function'] = '';
Even leaving
$routing['function'] = '';
Will force requests to go to index controller
In the end I felt this was a bit hacky but I really need to use the EE API library in my case. Otherwise I would have just created a separate application with Codeigniter to handle my CLI needs, hope the above helps others.
I found #Zenbuman's answer after solving my own variation of this problem. My example allows you to keep the cron script inside a module, so if you need your module to have a cron feature it all stays neatly packaged together. Here's a detailed guide on my blog.
I have a safecracker form that submits an entry. The form consists of title, url_title, and description. I want to create an extension hook that filters out certain words if they exist in the title of the entry.
I already have a function that take care of the cleaning function clean(){....}. I understand that we need to use an extension hook so we can clean the title upon saving the entry.
What extension hook do i need to use for that. can you give me a complete example of an extension hook. I'm very good with PHP but still new to hooks and how they should be implemented. I already read the EE documentation but still find some confusion of how a hook is used
First head over to http://pkg.io/ and get your base extension file.
You'll probably want to use the 'safecracker_submit_entry_start' hook to throw an error if unclean word is entered. The most important part of the extension is registering the method and hook you want to use, otherwise none of the code will run.
Your code should look something like this:
public function activate_extension()
{
// Setup custom settings in this array.
$this->settings = array();
$data = array(
'class' => __CLASS__,
'method' => 'clean', // point to the method that should run
'hook' => 'safecracker_submit_entry_end', // point to the hook you want to use to trigger the above method.
'settings' => serialize($this->settings),
'version' => $this->version,
'enabled' => 'y'
);
$this->EE->db->insert('extensions', $data);
}
Once the method has been called you can start your cleaning. Make sure you pass the safecracker object to your clean method when defining it. For example:
public function clean($sc){
print_r($sc);
}
I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 (.NET 4) web application.
This app fetches data from an Oracle database and mixes some information with another Sql Database.
Many tables are joined together and lot of database reading is involved.
I have already optimized the best I could the fetching side and I don't have problems with that.
I've use caching to save information I don't need to fetch over and over.
Now I would like to build a responsive interface and my goal is to present the users the order headers filtered, and load the order lines in background.
I want to do that cause I need to manage all the lines (order lines) as a whole cause of some calculations.
What I have done so far is using jQuery to make an Ajax call to my action where I fetch the order headers and save them in a cache (System.Web.Caching.Cache).
When the Ajax call has succeeded I fire off another Ajax call to fetch the lines (and, once again, save the result in a cache).
It works quite well.
Now I was trying to figure out if I can move some of this logic from the client to the server.
When my action is called I want to fetch the order header and start a new thread - responsible of the order lines fetching - and return the result to the client.
In a test app I tried both ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and Task.Factory but I want the generated thread to access my cache.
I've put together a test app and done something like this:
TEST 1
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult RunTasks01()
{
var myCache = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache;
myCache.Remove("KEY1");
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(o => MyFunc(1, 5000000, myCache));
return (Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.DenyGet));
}
TEST 2
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult RunTasks02()
{
var myCache = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache;
myCache.Remove("KEY1");
Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
{
MyFunc(1, 5000000, myCache);
});
return (Json(true, JsonRequestBehavior.DenyGet));
}
MyFunc crates a list of items and save the result in a cache; pretty silly but it's just a test.
I would like to know if someone has a better solution or knows of some implications I might have access the cache in a separate thread?!
Is there anything I need to be aware of, I should avoid or I could improve ?
Thanks for your help.
One possible issue I can see with your approach is that System.Web.HttpContext.Current might not be available in a separate thread. As this thread could run later, once the request has finished. I would recommend you using the classes in the System.Runtime.Caching namespace that was introduced in .NET 4.0 instead of the old HttpContext.Cache.
In my custom form (in a custom module) drupal_add_js() only adds the JS when there is no error message.
My code goes like this:
function ntcf_redo_order_form( &$form_state = array() ) {
global $base_path, $user;
$my_dir = drupal_get_path('module', 'ntcf_redo');
drupal_add_js("$my_dir/order.js", 'module', 'header', FALSE, TRUE, FALSE);
$form = array();
...
return $form;
}
If the validation function used _form_set_error()_ to display an error message and highlight the offending field, the message is displayed and the field highlighted, but the _drupal_add_js()_ call does nothing. Without a pending error message to display, all is well.
EDIT: this problem does not occur with drupal_set_message(), only with form_set_error().
I tried adding the 3 later parameters to the *drupal_add_js()* call to tell it to not optimize it (don't combine it with other JS files). There is no mention of the file order.js in the HTML, and it makes no difference whether I use the last 4 parameters ('header', FALSE, TRUE, FALSE) or not.
In Admin/Performance, I turned off Optimize Javascript Files, and pretty much all caching, which also made no difference.
Extra Details:
I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but it wouldn't surprise me, so here goes:
What I'm doing here is a multi-part "wizard" form that allows the user to proceed forward and go back. Also, many of the pages use AJAX, so I need to do all the "required" field validation in the _submit function instead of letting Drupal do it automatically (since that makes a mess of AJAX). So, if there's a "required" field that's missing, the _submit() function sets an error message, and the form generation function generates the same form again (with the additional decoration resulting from the error message).
Also: this is off-topic, but it might help someone using Google: when doing a multi-page form that allows going backward, you MUST assign a weight to every item on the form, or else the fields tend to "wander" when you go backwards.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem, this is a workaround I found (for Drupal 7, may work in 6) :
1. in your form setup (or hook_form_alter), do this :
$form['#post_render'][]='yourfunction';
2. define :
function yourfunction($content,$element){
$my_dir = drupal_get_path('module', 'ntcf_redo');
drupal_add_js("$my_dir/order.js", 'module', 'header', FALSE, TRUE, FALSE);
return $content;
}
I think this works (while your approach does not), because hook_form_alter (and/or hook_form)
do NOT get called again for a prepared/cached form, so the initial form load WILL load the javascript, but subsequent posts will NOT.
HTH
Mikes answer ($form['#post_render'][]='yourfunction';), will work, though its not the optimal way and will cause issues with drupal_add_js.
The best way to do this is by adding your javascript via the form api '#attached'.
Instead of using drupal_add_js or a new callback on the '#post_render':
$form['#attached']['js'] = array(
drupal_get_path('module', 'module_name') .'/file/path/filename.js',
);
You may pass in a 'css' array as well. Being an array, you can pass in as may files as you want.
*This is for Drupal 7. Other versions may be different.
