I followed the instructions here on establishing a new provider and generating custom URLs, and it works as expected. There doesn't seem to be a clear reference for what parameters can be utilized in the settings as the example given is very basic.
I want to use the category name of the post in the URL. I tried:
/[Category]/[UrlName]
but what I got in the frontend was:
http://localhost:60327/my-page/Telerik.OpenAccess.TrackedList%601[System.Guid]/my-post-name
I also tried
/[Category.Title]/[UrlName]
which just threw errors.
Anyone know how to do this, or better yet, a good reference for the parameters?
I don't think this is possible since the Category property is actually a collection (TrackedList).
In theory you would need one of the collection items, let's say the first one, and your URL expression would be /[Category[0].Title]/[UrlName], but this is currently not supported by the expression parser.
Also, the idea of making the URL dependent on a complex (related) field is not a good idea. If someone deletes that category, they will break all your blog post URLs.
I would suggest you to create a custom text field for the blog post item (ex: CategoryUrl) and then you should be able to set the URL format to /[CategoryUrl]/[UrlName]. Make sure CategoryUrl field is required.

Is there any way to make the standart PrestaShop's Layered filters module to use URL parameters instead of anchors (the part after hash)?
I ment that I want the layered filter generate and accept the URLs like this (or maybe somehow diferrent, but the key is to use parameters and not to use hashes):
my-example-shop.ru/some-category/?color=red&size=xl
instead of this:
my-example-shop.ru/some-category#/color-red/size-xl
The reason is that the most of advertisment systems could add some parameters to the URL, but they usuaul add it directly to the end of the URL, and dont trying to analyze url structure and insert parameters to the right place.
So, as far as i see, the obvious solution is to avoid using hashes in url, using just query parameters, and to use history.pushState to change URL without refreshing whole page...
It seems obvious, usable, but I cant find any ready-to-use solution that do this such way, and I cant find even information about how does someone did it..
So the questions are:
is there any ready-to-use solution?
is there any described way to reach this by myself?
Thanks in advance.
UPD
All I found by myself for now is that such URLs could be accepted:
my-example-shop.ru/some-category/color-red/size-xl
my-example-shop.ru/some-category?selected_filters=/color-red/size-xl
BUT any filters changing causes using hashes again (afaik, hashed filters values overrides values passed via selected_filters parameter, so subsequent navigation just ignores selected_filters). In other words - I just can clear the entry URL, BUT I couldnt make URLs to be clean for subsequent navigation.
The change is very large.
You should create the override classes/Dispatcher.php
For filters instead you should edit the file: blocklayered/blocklayered.php
find function: getSelectedFilters()
Inside are two foreach, you should withdraw from the url "featured" fields that you need and compile the new array "$selected_filters"
How can one set the allowed values for a Rally attribute (e.g. "Package") using Rally's web services API (2.0)?
I know how to retrieve the allowed values, and the WSAPI documentation says one should be able to POST new ones, or PUT to existing ones to rename them. But in actuality, POSTing new ones returns an error saying that POST isn't supported, and PUTting to existing ones isn't possible because they don't have _refs to PUT to.
Clearly there must be some way to do this — after all, the GUI can do it — but I haven't managed to figure it out. Anyone have the answer?
Ah, the package field... 'Twas a simpler time when this field was created. Unfortunately it is implemented differently than almost all other dropdowns in Rally and as such is not able to be updated via WSAPI as you have found. Other field allowed values (including custom fields) have _refs and operate as you expect above.
I need to fetch company addresses(cim) from site http://www.ceginfo.hu/
Example Company Name: AB-KONTÍR Szolgáltató Bt.
I know how to do it using WinHttp.WinHttpRequest object and FireBug.
But I am not able to decide to which URL I should send this request.
When I analyse the request/responses using FireBug, I get the following URL:
http://www.ceginfo.hu/company/search/4221638
4221638 is CompanyID here I think. But in my case I will have company name only and that's what my problem is.
So can anybody please tell me where can I get URL using firebug or any other tool using which I can track the URL with Company Name as parameter which I can use in my VBA code.
Thanks in advance!

No. Unless there is a publicly available database (I would suggest calling them, if you can) or an API that allows for programmatic access, the only way to arrive at this link slug is by executing the search.
Further, the post slog is not as relevant as you think. If you search for simply "Kontir", this is the resulting page -- with many results:
http://www.ceginfo.hu/company/search/4222407
You're going to have to automate the "search" -- passing the criteria to the Web Page and executing the button-click and/or HTTPPost, and then parse the result(s). In the example company name, there is only one result. But it is possible as in my example above, that there may be multiple matches for some queries, and then you will need to have a method of dealing with these, or ignoring them.
I have tagged over 700 blog posts with tags containing hyphens, and these tags suddenly stopped working in 2011, because Tumblr decided (without any notice) to forbid hyphens in tags (I guess hyphens are blocked now, because spaces in tags (which are allowed) get changed to hyphens.). Unfortunately, Tumblr is not willing to globally rename all tags containg hyphens (although these tags are of no use anymore → 404).
Now I want to rename my tags myself.
I tried to do it with the "Mass Post Editor" (tumblr.com/mega-editor), but it's not possible to select posts by tag. I'd have to manually select post after post and look if a certain tag was used, and if so, delete it and add a new one instead. This would be a huge job (700 tagged posts, but more than 1000 in total).
So I thought that the Tumblr API might help me. I'm no programmer, but I'd be willing to dig into it, if I could get some help here as a starting point.
I think I need the following process:
select all posts that are tagged with x (= a tag containing hyphens)
tag all these posts with y (= a tag without hyphens)
delete the tag x on all these posts
I'd start this process for every affected tag manually.
I see that the method (or whatever you call it) /post knows the request parameter tag:
Limits the response to posts with the specified tag
(I guess I can only hope that this works for tags containing hyphens, too.)
After that I'd need a way to add and remove tags from that result set. /post/edit doesn't say anything about tags. Did I miss something? Isn't it possible to add/remove tags with the API?
Have you an idea how I could "easily" rename my tags?
Is it possible with the API? Could you give me a starting point, tip etc. how I could manage to do it?
I don't know if this might be helpful, but I noticed that the search function is still able to find posts "tagged" with tags that contain hyphens.
Example: let's say I have the tag foo-bar. It is linked with /tagged/foo-bar (→ 404). I can find the posts with /search/foo-bar (but this is of course not ideal because it might also find posts that contain (in the body text) words similar/equal to the tag name).
I tried to encode the hyphen (/tagged/foo%2Dbar), but no luck.
just for the record, because this is a popular google search: i've done it! you can use it at http://dev.goose.im/tags/.
i used a combo of PHP and jquery, basing my jquery off of a previous tumblr api script i wrote a year or two ago, and used this tumblr php oauth script for the authentication. if anyone wants me to put up the source code, i'd be happy to.
If you aren't a programmer, how much is your time is worth to you? As they say, time is money. Not only do you have to figure out how to use the API, but choose a language and learn to write in it. That's no small task. You could higher a freelancer for $50 for an hour worth of work.
To answer your question, yes it is possible to do this with the API. It mentions "These parameters are used for /post, /post/edit and /post/reblog methods." and tags is mentioned as a string of comma separated words.
What you want to do is get a listing of every single blog post using the /posts method. You'll want to look at the "Request" section to figure out the criteria to pass to this URL. You want it to be as general as possible to get a complete listing of all your posts.
After you get a listing of posts you'll want to iterate over it and modify the tags parameter provided in the response for each post. You'll want to use the id paramater along with /post/edit, which again takes tags as a string.
The simplest language you can use for this task is PHP. You'll want to look at the curl extension to make your requests. You'll want to read up on arrays as you'll be using them a lot. You'll also need to look at explode, implode, str_replace (for the dashes), and foreach for iterating over the result.
When you do this I would highly recommend you use break at the end of your foreach loop so it only affects one post at first. Testing it first will be important, as you don't want to accidentally erase your tags/posts. print and var_dump are good ways to help you debug the code. xdebug is a nice extension that allows you to step through the code line by line as it runs. Netbeans is an IDE that has good xdebug support.
There's also a nice page here to get you started with PHP. You'll need to install PHP on your machine. You don't need to install a web server - for this PHP-CLI (command line) sapi is good enough.
So, I'm trying to pull all photos of a specific user's account via the flickr.photos.search method, but I want to exclude photos with a particular tag. The related documentation page states that "You can exclude results that match a term by prepending it with a - character." ... Well, I tried implementing that option but what get in return is only one photo (even though there are several photos with the tag in question) and that result remains the same whether that specific photo has the tag in question or not AND whether or not I use the "-" option to exclude that tag rather than include it. I also tried the text method with the same exact result. Here's my REST call:
http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?&method=flickr.photos.search&api_key='.$api_key.'&user_id='.$user_id.'&tag_mode=any&tags=-blog&extras=url_o,url_t&format=json
And here is the page where I'm trying to get this all working:
http://corazonbrew.com/temp/
Anyone know what is going on here?
It seems the answer in the Flickr discussion board I linked to earlier is proving true. In order to use the exclusion option, there has to also be at least one other, non-excluded tag. Well, that is just not good enough for me.
A couple of friends tell me this is a longstanding bug that will not be fixed anytime soon, if ever. But those friends also kindly reminded me of my n00bishness- this whole time I thought I needed to affect the feed to get the desired output. I totally was not realizing I could just use some good ol' PHP if statements to weed out what I don't want.
