I want to reference the last measurment of a device in a HTML widget.
The page https://www.cumulocity.com/guides/users-guide/cockpit/ give samples to access these.
My attempt to show the TemperatureMeasurement doesn't return a result:
{{devices[391].lastMeasurement.c8y_TemperatureMeasurement.T}}
This is currently not possible from the HTML widget. You can only access the data inside the managedObject from there.
Maybe try using the SCADA widget for that and create your custom content as SVG instead of HTML.

I've succesfully managed implementing custom attributes creating upcasts and downcasts converters; all seems to work but I'm now blocked on how to get the actual data back from the editor; if I use:
editor.getData()
I got the html tag (an <img> one) without the custom attributes while in the CKEditor Inspector I can see the attributes in both the model and the view.
How I can retrieve the data with the custom attributes?
I would like to customize my deepview with a specific image depending on where on my site it is clicked (custom product image for example).
I understand that I can not use javascript in the deepview but my thinking was that I might be able to pass a url to our cdn in the query parameters of the link but I can't figure out how to access it in the deepview.

I am trying to create an image slider where each image in the page links to an internal or external page. I created a separate library for all the images that I want to show on the slider then using custom MVC widget I display the images in a slider.The problem that I have is there is no place in the image where I can link the image to open an existing internal page or external website.
Is there a way to add a properties to the original Image properties? so that users can select a page (using some sort of page selector just like in the navigation widget) or type in external page to link. If that is not possible, could you give me some ideas how to implement this?
I've been creating image rotators using Module Builder in Sitefinity. What you could do is go to Administration -> Module Builder -> Create a Module, call it Image Slider, call the content type Slide. Add a couple fields, for the first call it Image and select Media for the type, this will use an image selector for the interface, then add another field called Link and use Short text for the type, this will hold the url. Unfortunately, Sitefinity doesn't include a Page Selector control as an available field yet so a text field will have to do. Save and activate your module, it will show up under Content -> Types of Content. Go ahead and add a few slides. Sitefinity has created a couple of widgets when you created the module, so if you edit a page, you'll see them under the "Content" widget section, probably at the bottom. Drag it on the page and set it to use the list template. Now open up the Sitefinity Explorer window in their Thunder Visual Studio plugin, under Common Widget Templates, you'll see an Image Slider folder, you'll want to edit the list template since you'll be outputing all the slides into some carousel markup or something. From here you can use the default Sitefinity image control and bind the link to a hyperlink that wraps the image control, this will link each image to whatever is in that field.
Hope that helps.
I'm converting my site from using jQueryUI to jQuery Mobile, and I'm having some trouble.
I have a page that lets users add new timesheet entries. They click the "Add" button and it retrieves a Partial View from the server right onto the page.
The problem is that jQuery Mobile is not applying to any of the elements in the Partial View.
How can I force jQuery Mobile to process my elements after they've been inserted into the page?
The short answer is that you can just trigger the create method on the parent element of where you inserting your partial view.
For example $('#container').trigger( "create" );
Alternatively most widgets can be manually initialized by calling them on the element, for example for a listview: $('#myListview').listview(). This can be useful if you have only a few elements that need to be enhaced and you don't want to traverse all the child elements of the container. You should also know that for many widgets there is also a refresh method which you can call if you add elements to it after it has already been initialized for example $('#myListview').listview('refresh).
Also have a look at the following Q & A from the JQM docs which deals with this issue and for an explanation as to why it is necessary to call these methods.
Question: Content injected into a page is not enhanced.
Answer:
jQuery Mobile has no way to know when you have injected content into a
page. To let jQuery Mobile know you have injected content that must be
enhanced, you need to either make sure the plugins are called to
enhance the new elements or trigger("create") on the parent container
so you don't have to call each plugin manually.
I need to find a way to write a program (in any language) that will connect to a website and read dynamically generated data from the website.
Note that it's dynamically generated--it's not enough to get the source html, because the data I'm interested in is generated via javascript that references back-end code. So when i view the webpage source, I can't see the data. (For example, go to google, and do a search. Check the source code on the search results page. Very little of the data your browser is displaying is reflected in the source--most of it is dynamically generated. I need some way to access this data.)
Pick a language and environment that includes an HTML renderer (e.g. .NET and the WebBrowser control). Use the HTML renderer to get the URL and produce an HTML DOM in memory (making sure that scripting is enabled). Read the contents of the HTML DOM after the renderer has done its work.
Example (you'll need to do this inside a System.Windows.Form derived class):
WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser();
browser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
HtmlDocument document = browser.Document;
// extract what you want from the document
I used to have a Perl program to access Mapguide.com to get the drive direction from one location to another location. I parsed the returned page and save to database. If the source never change their format, it is OK. the problem is the source format often change, your parser also need change.
A simple thought: if we're talking about AJAX, you can rather look up the urls for the dynamic data. Then you can use the javascript on the page you're talking about to reformat this.
If you have Firefox/greasemonkey making a DOM dumper should be a simple matter.
