I try to add an upload button to the standard contact form in Orocommerce.
I extended the entity as described in
https://doc.oroinc.com/master/backend/entities/attachments/#backend-entity-attachments and the "contact us" entity now shows a button to add an attachment in the backend.
But I still dont't understand how to actually add an upload field to the frontend (preferably in costum forms, too).
How can I change the fields that are available in the frontend?
You can use the form type extension to add a field to the frontend form:

Anyone can help me remote translations column in module builder sitefinity?
If you don't want a module to have translations, then just remove "Make localizable" checkbox from all fields for this module.
And Sitefinity will automatically remove this column from backend.
I need to set several meta tag values in my page head to values set in blog post custom fields.
How do I access the blog item viewmodel from the head?
I've created a separate MVC view snippet for my custom head and referenced it in my template's layout, that much works.
Tried
I grab some of the same custom field values inside my blog template via references like Model.Item.Fields.MyFieldName.Fields.Title.
Adding this same line to the head template throws a
System.Web.HttpCompileException with little useful information attached. I somewhat expected this, as I suspect that viewmodel for the blog post only exists in the context of the blog widget.
Ends up that I need to rebuild after every change to the head cshtml file or I get this error. Seeing as this is about a four-minute process with Sitefinity (15 seconds to build, 3:45 to do whatever Sitefinity does for about four minutes), this is a gruelingly horrid thing to have to do.
However the Model is null at this level.

Per the ever-helpful and highly knowledgeable #Veselin Vasilev, I looked into passing the data up via MetaDataFields. I didn't see these options in my admin section for the widget. To clarify, I'm using the built-in "Blog posts" widget with a customized view file.
But if it's possible to do this, it gives me hope that there's a way to pass more data up, even if it's going to take some work.
EDIT: Sitefinity v.10.2 and above:
There is an easier way to achieve what you are trying - in Page edit mode, in the Blog Posts widget click Edit and then Advanced. Then you should see a MetaDataFields button. Click it and you should see several meta data related fields.
In the MetaTitle field put the name of your custom field and save.
Also, from the docs:
If you leave MetaTitle field empty, Sitefinity CMS adds takes its value from the Title field of the static content item or from the identifier field of a dynamic content item. Otherwise, the tag is populated with the contents of the field that you have entered in MetaTitle field.

Basically, in your view you get a reference to the Page object and then update its Header with the meta data you need.
I need to generate a URL link on each product page. Each URL needs to contain custom variables specific to that product.
Like so : www.example.com/{{keywords}}/{{productID}}
My understanding is that any custom variables must be saved as metaTags.
My logic to generate the URL is as follows
Create an Embedded App.
Display a dropdown list containing all products.
Display input fields for the user to populate with the text for "keywords" and "productID"
Save this information as Meta Tags so it can be accessible within the Liquid templeting.

How do I solve the following issues?
How do i save "keywords" and "productID" variables for each individual product.
How do I generate a URL with these variables and populate them on each product page?(I can do it manually through editing the theme but there has to be a way to do this programmatically)
You cannot generate an URL like:
www.example.com/{{keywords}}/{{productID}}
With Shopify you instead use
www.example.com/products/product-handle
And on that product page, you can do as you please with the product ID, and any metafields you choose to maintain and create.
I'm trying to add a custom field type to our SugarCRM 6.2 instance. I want to add an "email link" type field. I want it to function like the URL field, but prefix every address with "mailto://" prefix instead of "http://".
It will be good if that field type is available in studio while creating new fields or in minimum, some custom code to achieve it.
What I did up to now:
- I've copied include/SugarFields/Fields/URL to include/SugarFields/Fields/Email
- In modules/ModuleBuilder/language/en_us.lang.php I've added a title for the email field
But unable to get anything working. Any help?
First of all you do not want to make any coding changes outside of the custom directory. Doing so outside of this directory is not upgrade safe.
Create a custom fields directory in your custom folder
Create new template files (.tpl) for your custom field
then you can just add a regular textfield in studio
then edit your viewdefs in your custom directory
in your tpl file concatenate the mailto:// to your text and just add the persons email address and it will take care of the rest for you
why you need custom field type for such small functionality? Just add your custom JS file in editviewdef.php. Then use some jQuery selector to perform certain action. For detail view, you can use view.detail.php to add required text in run time.
This will help you to store less data in database and display more in frontend.
