In the Blog App (I am using 3.00.02 I think), I notice the queries for the main article list have filters for In:Settings:Category. This appears to be Module Settings, but I am not sure. Can you tell me how/where to add and store these settings? I am hoping they are module settings of some kind so I can filter for different types of articles (press vs news vs announcements) on different pages across the site.
Is there an example somewhere in the app of how this filter is used?
Anything on the "In" comes from an in-stream on that data-source. So that block must have an inbound stream called "Settings" - look at where that comes from.

I'm looking to create a central repository for all of our published API documentation using DocFx. I have documentation auto-generated via my build (using TFS) and published through my release (using Octopus) just fine for multiple individual sites. However, I'm wanting to pull it altogether in one location. The thinking is that through a parent site you could filter content in any of the individual sites without having to drill down into them. Do you have a recommendation on how to do this?
Also, within this same documentation repository I want to provide the capability to search by all of the meta data (project-level documentation) across the hundreds of projects in our portfolio. This will give our BA, DEV and QA teams easier access to what all our systems do. I like the "filtering" capability built into DocFx, but I'm wanting full-text search across all of the meta data. Do you have a recommendation for this functionality as well?
To change the location of the docfx output, edit the docfx.json file and specify the dest value. By default it is "dest": "_site". For more formatting guidance, reference: https://dotnet.github.io/docfx/tutorial/docfx.exe_user_manual.html.
Regarding full-text search, that is possible by simply ensuring the ExtractSearchIndex post-processor is invoked (in order to generate an index.json file of keywords) and that the global _enableSearch value is set to true in the docfx.json file. A snippet from that file would look like:
"postProcessors": [ "ExtractSearchIndex" ],
"globalMetadata": {
"_enableSearch": "true"
}
For your first question:
I think what you expect is like the .NET API Browser. The source code behind this page is not open to public, so you need create this page by yourself, through collecting xrefmap.yml from multiple sites, and extract the needed data into this page.
For your second question:
DocFX uses Luna to scan all the output files and generate an index file called index.json for later search use. In your case, you should want to limit the search scope only in the metadata you defined. This is also not supported by DocFX by default. You can also use Luna in your central place to search these meta. You can create your specific index.json for each project first, and the cental place to collect them for the search page.
First of all, I have to say that I am NET developer (C#) and my knowledge on Dynamics 365 is pretty limited. Nevertheless my employer thought that I am good enough to make that thingy from post title :)
After couple of hours researching and reading, I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LwZLoXS6jo which address on how to create and send SMS from Dynamics. I am aware that this require me to create new Dynamics entities, at least SMSMessage and SMSMessageTemplate, but at least I found out how to do this :)
I understood everything stated there, but as i already said, due to my lack of knowledge on Dynamics 365, I got problems with (probably) basic things regarding Dynamics.
Here are those problems:
1. As far as I can tell, in order to build SMS gateway, first thing I need to do is to add new menu item inside Dynamics 365. I presume that this new menu item should reside inside 'Contacts' menu (contacts.jpg, marked with red box) but I am not sure on how to achieve this. Please note, I do not want someone to provide me with some magic solution, I just need someone to provide me with valid links that I can use to learn about this and solve my own problem :)
2. When new menu item is in place, and user click on it, I would like to open up a form for user to select SMS template that will be used and maybe setup some other values. Same again, U do not need to help me with exact code, just with some usable links :)
3. Inside that form that user will open on menu click, I would like to know how to get list of selected contacts (from grid at contact.jpg)
When I (finally) have that list of contacts, I will create SMS entities mentioned above (video link) and everything will fall in place and (hopefully) work.
I am aware that this is probably too much to ask, cause Dynamics 365 is rather complex, and people are spending great amounts of money and their time learning to became Dynamics developers, but without help, Dynamics is making me running in circles chasing my own tail :) and getting nowhere.
Also, I will be using online Dynamics 365 so bare in mind that any solution should work with it.
if any of U think that I missed or got something wrong, please let me know.enter image description here
So basically to get you started, you should:
1) Create a solution in Settings => Customizations => Solutions
2) Add contact entity to that solution (by choosing "Add existing" under Entities pane). Don't click "Add all assets" you will need only contact metadata to get going
3) Create jScript file and add a web resource to CRM (nothing really complicated, just go to web resources in you solution and click "Add new" and specify type of your web resource as jScript and target your file).
4) Now download http://www.xrmtoolbox.com
5) For now you are interested only in plugin "Ribbon Workbench"
6) Now simply choose your solution and contact - you will see command bars for contact homepage, list and form. This is pretty strainghtforward - simply drag and drop a button wherever you like, create a command using workbench and bind the button with the command (simply choose it from a drop-down). The command you are interested in is Custom Javacript. Here you specify your web resource and name of the function that you want to call. You can also specify parameters that should be passed inside your function for example ids of selected items (if you are on the list of records).
There are many approaches to fulfil your specific needs, but being able to call a custom javascript function from a button should be a good starting point, the rest is simply the knowledge of CRM SDK, so how to create an entity using API or open a form or open a web resource - everything is very well documented and you can get it simply by asking google, so I will not post any blog here, not to advertise too much. Also I's suggest downloading latest CRM SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50032) - you have many sample code there, regarding plugins and some form modifications, you should also check this out.
To make it easier for you, you should refer to this "menu" as "Command bar" or "Ribbon", so rather look for "adding custom button to command bar CRM 2016" and you will be all good. Also to make a form for choosing a template, you will probably need some custom web resource, so "creating custom html5 web resource CRM 2016" should give you some good examples.
Alright so I learned that to have an upload button on a page, what you do is basically call a php file (call is upload.php) that would upload a file to the server. I have no idea where I am supposed to put the php file inside the server so I can call it.
I feel stupid because I can't find any answers online. I am getting very frustrated and confused because I am told I need to create a database but I have no idea how to edit a database in Joomla. I took a class in SQL so I don't have to learn about that. I just don't know where it is. I was also told I need to make a component. But this is confusing because all I want to do is have an upload button that will upload an image to the server.
I understand your frustration. I've got the basic idea on what you are trying to do. Here are a couple of options:
You might wanna take a look at Joomla! Extensions Directory ™. You might just find there a component or a module that already does this for you.
If you want to do it on your own, than you need to create a small module or a component inside Joomla! Please refer to the Joomla! Documentation or tutorials on this topic. Please note that you won't get this working instantly, because you first need to understand how Joomla! works. So your upload.php file will go in your module / component files. I don't think you need to do any SQL.
Now the part with "allowing a user" is a bit confusing... you want to "allow" any user to upload things to your server or just let's say, registered users? Generally uploading scripts need to be very strong from the security point of view. If this is the case, that you need to do a search for Joomla! ACL
You can simply create a form and add the "media" field type.
http://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types
You can also opt for the "file" field types to allow different types of fields.
Both fields can be added using the Joomla Component Creator: http://www.notwebdesign.com/joomla-component-creator/
And you might also want to take a look at K2 which has an excellent image upload functionality that allows scaling of images into three different sizes.
We've been using Trac for a while now for our developers only. However we are now opening it up for our (internal) clients. We have a project listing page (based on the default one that comes with Trac). What we'd like to do, is display more information about the project than what is currently available.
I have searched google and here, to see if I can find how to get more information. There seems to be a variable called $project which has .name, .description and .href as attributes.
Is there somewhere, a list of the attributes available? Or perhaps a different solution altogether that will allow us to display more information on the project list page. Such as the number of open tickets etc.
As far as I known, you can use $project.env as well. It is an object, which provides a number of attributes:
$project.env.base_url
$project.env.base_url_for_redirect
$project.env.secure_cookies
$project.env.project_name
$project.env.project_description
$project.env.project_url
$project.env.project_admin
$project.env.project_admin_trac_url
$project.env.project_footer
$project.env.project_icon
$project.env.log_type
$project.env.log_file
$project.env.log_level
$project.env.log_format
More detail is available at env.py
On the project page customization page there is not much variables, indeed. Looking at the source code there is also trac.version, trac.time, but that's all. There is also project.env that may hold more information. I do not have a multiproject setup at hand, so you might be interested to see for yourself what variables are available with TracDeveloper plugin. It dumps variables if enabled and you add debug=true in the URL.
I am working on a website in dnn. I want to change the language of website or particular page. So I download the language package for spanish(es-es),chinese(zh-cn) and install them from host. Next when I changed the language of browser then the website language didn't change. Working on dnn 5.0.
Please let me know how I can use language packages in dnn website.
For initial translations and maintenance of DotNetNuke translations, I recommend the use of OmegaT. It handles resx files directly. And content (such as HTML or Blogs) can be downloaded, translated and then uploaded thanks to the APIs of DNN (drop me a note if you need the scripts).
OmegaT stores the translations in it's memory (a TMX file, which is actually some kind of XML). It also uses Google Translate and similars, and has a fast user interface which increases translation speed a lot when compared against continously waiting for DotNetNuke to handle your updated resources.
More info on OmegaT. An example of a translated site and modules: site translated from Dutch into English
You should probably ask this in the DotNetNuke forums: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/795/default.aspx.
There's one dedicated forum for questions about language packs and localization. You will probably find your answer there: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/77/scope/threads/Default.aspx
The language packs don't always have translations for everything on the site, especially content that you added yourself. You'll need to do two things to get them working properly:
Go to Admin > Languages, and enable the languages you want to use.
Open the Language Editor and start translating. Under each resource name, you will see an edit text box for the localized value, and a read-only text box for the default value. In most cases, you'll need to translate verbatim what you see under "default value".
We had to write our own menu provider to get the menu to do this - instead of going for the resource files we went for a database solution - other reasons applied to this as well - we also built an interface for doing this - as for things like the text/html module there are some third party builds that allow you to nationalize content. Apollo comes to mind Apollo Software they have some multilanguage modules
The language packs will typically only localize text used by the core such as "Login" and "Settings". It is designed so that you can have a site in a language other than English, not so you can have multiple languages on one site. You can easily have multiple portals, each with a different language.
In order to have multiple locales on one portal you will need to use a third party module or develop your own.
