I want to create an e-commerce shop with : WP, Easy digital downloads and Frontend submissions.
To do so, I need to customize forms. As an example: I need to add & remove (or hide) fields on the fes_registration_form without breaking functions behind it.
I don't have a good vision of how the easy digital downloads plugin works so I don't know where to do my updates (don't want to break everything).
Could you please tell me how to proceed to add and remove fields on the fes_registration_form ?
I need to do the same job on the profile form and on the new product ones.
thank you
You can easily add and remove form fields for the profile and product submission via the built in form builder. There is a simple drag and drop system.

For further custom work you would need to get your hands dirty. I have just completed a major project in totally changing some functions within the forms. This involves a combination of hooks, filters and extending some of the classes provided by the FES extension.

I am developing a custom theme for a client, and the client has asked for a customizable, user-facing product "creation" form, similar in form and function to this pretty nice example from Ollie.
My problem is two-fold:
How to implement this in the BigCommerce dashboard Products section?
How to then go about building this with Stencil?
My initial thoughts are:
How to implement this in the BigCommerce dashboard Products section?
This seems pretty straightforward to me, though I am new to BigCommerce. I am imagining creating a single "Customized Kit" product with an option set containing the different variants that can arise from the customization process.
How to then go about building this with Stencil?
Here is where I'm a bit more muddy due to my lack of experience with BigCommerce and the Stencil structure. My first guess is: I create a custom form component that exposes the "Customized Kit" Product object to the context and then, on "Add Kit to Cart" click, somehow matches the attributes the user just laid out with the closest product variant. From there, however, I am unclear on the specific components that may need to be extended, which event hooks may need to be called, and how to link the whole thing into the "Add to Cart" functionality (I'm guessing I just create a separate add-customized-to-cart.html template).
Thanks, and for reference I am extending the latest Cornerstone theme (2.2.1-rc.2).
It is possible to define pagination on document library?
I have a document library with more that 10000 documents... when I open the library occurs an timeout.
Actually SenseNet already does this! They just don't deliver it in the standard list control. If you open up the PRC and navigate to /Root/IMS/BuiltIn/Portal you'll see a list control with paging. The code can be found at /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx as User Control portlet. You can copy the code and change it to meet your needs.
Our company prefers to create User Control portlets and use Datatables with calls to the SenseNet OData API using skip and top to deliver pages.
Finally, given that SenseNet Content is stored as a tree structure (in SQL!), you can move the Content after creation so that data is organized hierarchically. A common solution is to take the first letter of the DisplayName and create a sub-folder from that letter, thereby reducing the number of items at a single node.
Here's what the paging looks like:
The short answer is no. Right now there isn't a built in functionality for that.
The long answer is that you can make a pagination yourself. One of the core member of sensenet made a grid where you can use pagination. It won't work with the current free to use releases because they lack the js files she used. But the idea behind it, is using a custom view. Which you can achieve by adding a system folder named Views under a the Document library and adding your custom view there.
You can use this grid for Explore, just follow these steps:
Go to the Explore action page, and switch editor mode on the PRC.
Place a ClientContext portlet (this can find under the Portlets->Application section in the portlet picker dialog) to the Wide column. Set portlet (client context porlet) properties, Apparance to None. It is a technical portlet, which allow get the CurrentContext in javascript. This is a very important element to work with this grid. The Grid use the client context.
Place a UserControlPortlet (In the portlet picker, Portlets->Application section) to the Wide Column.
Set portlet properties:
4.1. Portlet title: <%$ Resources: PortletTitles, Items%>
4.2. User Control path: /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx
Checkin Page modification on the PRC.
Enjoy your pageable explore portlet.
Keep in mind that this grid is specifically designed for users, so they will miss actions in the top menu. These must be handwritten. Then I suggest you copy the UserControl ( /Root/Global/renderers/UserExploreGrid.ascx)
and then put the action list on it . You can read more info about action list here: http://wiki.sensenet.com/ActionList

In IBM Content Navigator, The "Check In" dialogue contains a Properties Pane, that in turn contains a Class Selector drop down box.
ClassSelector image
I want to keep the check-in functionality, but would like to have that Class Selector box not appear (There is no use case where a user would need to change the document class).
What would be the proper way to achieve this?
Is there a way to extend the ecm/widget/CheckInDialogue.js file AND make the default checkIn action use my new js?
Do I need to create a brand new checkIn action that references a new js?
Do I just change the ICN shipped js/html?
Just to clarify, I do know how to create a plugin, and how to create a js extension to the checkinDialogue.js, and how to remove the classSelector; however I don't know how to make the checkin action use my new script, or the best way to accomplish this.
Thanks!
Before answering your question, I would like to say that I think there is other options to do this without customizing ICN. The two easiest I can see would be:
Use entry templates, that way class selector will be disable on check in by default
Remove the privChangeClass privilege, that should hide the Class Selector (might be difficult if you want to leave full priv.)
Now if you want to hide it without using entry templates or privileges.
Yes, extend the ecm.widget.layout.CommonActionHandler and overwrite the actionCheckIn function and use your CheckInDialog instead of the default one. Then use your CommonActionHandler instead of the default one in your desktop. I don't think there is a way to change the ActionHandler from the admin desktop UI yet (if I missed it please let me know), although it's loaded by the client on the _loadDesktop function and set by the appearance tab but the value is hard-coded, so you might have to inject it after the load of better, call ecm.model.desktop.setActionHander(actionhandler) where actionhandler is the instance, not the class name (string) in a plugin.
You can, this will make things easier to manage if you have several desktops and you want some to use your new Check In dialog and some not.
No, that's a terrible idea :) Future upgrade of ICN and your code will be a nightmare and the delivery process a lot more complex than a simple configuration trick or ICN plug-in, that's what plug-ins are for.
Also a not so clean but really simple solution would be to aspect after the CheckInDialog.prototype on the postCreate function and do a domStyle.set(this.addContentItemPropertiesPane._contentClassSelectorDiv, "display", "none"); to just hide it on all CheckInDialogs.
I've just installed Flags module and it looks awful when on the bottom I see "Flag this item" link. The only thing I've found in configuration is enabling it to show as normal link. Still I haven't found how to change position of this link. Is it even possible to change link's place? I have installed CCK Blocks but it doesn't give me any option to get rid of it. If someone know or suspect what's possible - please help me.
Try the Display Suite module, this module is integrated with many modules like flag, title etc...
Display Suite allows you to take full control over how your content is displayed using a drag and drop interface. Arrange your
nodes, views, comments, user data etc. the way you want without having
to work your way through dozens of template files. A predefined list
of layouts (D7 only) is available for even more drag and drop fun!

You can move and generate custom layouts for the fields/properties on the entity display formatter: teaser, full...
We have a Sitefinity 3.2 site in production and the users want a whole new look and feel. Upgrading is not an option.
I have created new templates for them but they will need to go into the site and create all new pages using the new templates. This is a problem because they want the current site to remain unchanged until they are done - then they want to instantly switch over.
One problem that I see already is that pages will not show up in the menu control until they are published.
I am very new to Sitefinity. Is there a standard practice for doing this?
You don't need to re-create all of the pages to change the look and feel; simply change the template assigned.
This video shows how to work with themes and templates.
I'd think that changing the theme of all the templates late at night should be "instantly" enough for most people. :)
