SharePoint 2010 Custom List and Attachments - sharepoint-2010

I have created Custom List with few columns namely:
Title
Description
HrefLink
And optionally upload Attachments to the list item.
My scenario is as following, fetch the data from the list and print the data in list with hyperlink. Here, for hyperlink I should attach the any attachment is there for an item else pull the HrefLink field value.
How can I find if a list item has an attachment and how can I pull the path of attachment and print it?

I have achived fetching the attachments using the following login and printed to literal:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
{
using (SPSite currentSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))
{
using (SPWeb currentWeb = currentSite.OpenWeb())
{
/*Footer - Hotspot Links */
//Define string builder to attach the fetched content
StringBuilder strFooterHotspotLinks = new StringBuilder();
SPList lstFooterHotspotLinks = currentWeb.Lists["Footer Hotspot Links"];
//Difine list query
SPQuery spQryFooterHotspotLinks = new SPQuery();
spQryFooterHotspotLinks.Query = "<OrderBy><FieldRef Name='Hotspot_x0020_Order' Ascending='True' /></OrderBy>";
spQryFooterHotspotLinks.RowLimit = 5;
SPListItemCollection lstItmFooterHotspotLinks = lstFooterHotspotLinks.GetItems(spQryFooterHotspotLinks);
int lnkCount = 1;
if (lstItmFooterHotspotLinks.Count > 0)
{
foreach (SPListItem itmFooterHotspotLinks in lstItmFooterHotspotLinks)
{
String qlAttachmentAbsUrl = itmFooterHotspotLinks.Attachments.UrlPrefix; //gets the containing directory URl
SPAttachmentCollection qlAttachments = itmFooterHotspotLinks.Attachments; //check the attachment exists or not for list item
//If list attachmetns are existing
if (qlAttachments.Count > 0)
{
//Loop the list to find the attachments exist ot not and attach to the link
foreach (String qlAttachmentName in qlAttachments)
{
strFooterHotspotLinks.Append("<li><a href='" + qlAttachmentAbsUrl + qlAttachmentName + "'><span class='icn-" + lnkCount + "'></span>" + itmFooterHotspotLinks["Hotspot Title"] + "</a></li>");
lnkCount++;
}
}
else
{
strFooterHotspotLinks.Append("<li><a href='" + itmFooterHotspotLinks["Hotspot Link"] + "'><span class='icn-" + lnkCount + "'></span>" + itmFooterHotspotLinks["Hotspot Title"] + "</a></li>");
lnkCount++;
}
}

Illustrator script (or action) to make 1 random layer visible per group

Similar to this question but with adobe Illustrator: Photoshop action to make 1 random layer visible within each group
I want to use an illustrator script (or action) to generate images that are composed of a random sampling of grouped layers.
With in each of the 12 groups, I want to make 1 layer per group visible.
Export the visible layers as an svg. Bonus points if I can change the file format.
Repeat the process n times
I know this is similar to the code linked above though I want to be able to use illustrator instead of photoshop if possible.
It could be something like this:
function main() {
var doc = app.activeDocument;
// hide all items
var i = doc.pageItems.length;
while(i--) doc.pageItems[i].hidden = true;
// show one random item on every layer
var i = doc.layers.length;
while(i--) {
var items = doc.layers[i].pageItems;
var index = Math.round(Math.random()*(items.length-1));
items[index].hidden = false;
}
// save svg
var counter = 0;
var file = File(Folder.desktop + '/' + counter + '.svg') ;
while (file.exists) {
file = File(Folder.desktop + '/' + counter++ + '.svg');
}
doc.exportFile(file, ExportType.SVG);
// save png
var counter = 0;
var file = File(Folder.desktop + '/' + counter + '.png') ;
while (file.exists) {
file = File(Folder.desktop + '/' + counter++ + '.png');
}
var options = new ExportOptionsPNG24();
options.artBoardClipping = true;
doc.exportFile(file, ExportType.PNG24, options);
}
// repeat the script N times
var n = 3;
while(n--) main();
It hides all the page items, shows one random item on every layer, and saves the document as SVG and PNG in the desktop folder.

How to show the custom PDF template while clicking the button

I want to show the PDF Template in new window while clicking the button in Sales Order. I created the button in sales order process using user event script. after that i'm unable to proceed it. It is possible to show the custom PDF template in new window while clicking the sales order?
My CODE:
USER EVENT SCRIPT:
// creating button in user event script before load event in view mode
unction userEventBeforeLoad(type, form, request){
if(type == 'view'){
var internalId = nlapiGetRecordId();
if (internalId != null) {
var createPdfUrl = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript_back0rdered_itm_pdf', 'customdeploy_backord_itm_pdf_dep', false);
createPdfUrl += '&id=' + internalId;
//---add a button and call suitelet on click that button and it will open a new window
var addButton = form.addButton('custpage_printpdf', 'Print PDF', "window.open('" + createPdfUrl + "');");
}
else {
nlapiLogExecution('DEBUG', 'Error', 'Internaal id of the record is null');
}
}
}
SUITELET SCRIPT:
function suitelet(request, response){
var xml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n<!DOCTYPE pdf PUBLIC \"-//big.faceless.org//report\" \"report-1.1.dtd\">\n";
xml += "<pdf>";
xml += "<head><macrolist><macro id=\"myfooter\"><p align=\"center\"><pagenumber /></p></macro></macrolist></head>";
xml += "<body size= \"A4\" footer=\"myfooter\" footer-height=\"0.5in\">";
var record = request.getParameter('internalId');
xml +="record"; //Add values(in string format) what you want to show in pdf
xml += "</body></pdf>";
var file = nlapiXMLToPDF(xml);
response.setContentType('PDF', 'Print.pdf ', 'inline');
response.write(file.getValue());
}
thanks in advance
The way I did it recently:
User Event Adds the Button that calls a suitelet (window.open('suitelet URL'))
Suitelet Renders the custom template
You can do the rendering like this insise a Suitelet (params: request, response), the custscript_pdf_template points to an html file on the cabinet using the NetSuite Advanced HTML syntax
var template = nlapiGetContext().getSetting('SCRIPT', 'custscript_pdf_template');
var purchaseOrder = nlapiLoadRecord('purchaseorder', tranId);
var xmlTemplate = nlapiLoadFile(template);
var renderer = nlapiCreateTemplateRenderer();
var file;
xmlTemplate = xmlTemplate.getValue();
renderer.setTemplate(xmlTemplate);
renderer.addRecord('record', purchaseOrder);
xmlTemplate = renderer.renderToString();
file = nlapiXMLToPDF(xmlTemplate);
resObj = file.getValue();
response.setContentType('PDF', 'printOut.pdf', 'inline');
response.write(resObj)

How can I read Variables from data pool with Selenium IDE?

I am using Selenium IDE to test a web based HR/SW system.
There is a screen that used to enter vacation for employees.
I am having nearly 3000 employee.
I built a test case that enter vacations for one employee using variables.
How can I repeat the test case for all 3000 employees without creating the test case 3000 times. It will take an impossible effort to do that. Note: Each employee is having different vacation data (Type, start date, End date)
Is there any way that I can use a file (Excel,....) that variable can use to read its data from?
Is there any solution for my case???
I will be very very grateful I any one could help me.
Thank you.
You could use an XML file as an input.
1) At first you have to add following user extensions:
sideflow.js - (http://51elliot.blogspot.com/2008/02/selenium-ide-goto.html - additionally this article explains how to add user extension files)
datadriven.js
include.js
At the moment I can't find links where I took the last two, therefore I will give their code in the end of my post. Code is taken from my working directory. You just put the code to correspondent files, then add files to SelemiunIDE user extension and use them.
2) Create an XML file test_data.xml:
<testdata>
<test employee="1" type="1" startDate="01.01.2013" endDate="01.02.2013" />
<test employee="2" type="1" startDate="01.02.2013" endDate="01.03.2013" />
<test employee="3" type="1" startDate="01.03.2013" endDate="01.04.2013" />
...
</testdata>
3) In your test case use code like this:
${DataPath} - full path to a directory with XML-files
<!--BEGIN LOOP-->
<tr>
<td>loadTestData</td>
<td>file://${DataDir}/test_data.xml</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>while</td>
<td>!testdata.EOF()</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>nextTestData</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>echo</td>
<td>employee=${employee} type=${type} ...</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
...
<!--END LOOP-->
<tr>
<td>endWhile</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>

Current solution is a SelBlocks component which allows you to do cycles according to the dataset in XML
ForXML | XMLFileName.XML
... test case steps
EndForXML
The XML should have specific structure
<testdata>
<vars storedVariable1="xxxxx" storedVariable2="yyyyy" .. storedVariableN="zzzzz" />
.. other record(s)
</testdata>
Each stored variable vill be available in test case as ${storedVariableN}.
You can produce XML by MS Excel or LibreOffice using Formulas like this one and copy it to whole table:
="<vars "&
" "&$A$1&"="""&A2&""" "&
" "&$B$1&"="""&B2&""" "&
..
" "&$X$1&"="""&X2&""" "&
"/>")
XML can be easily copypasted after each change of the dataset.
Selblocks contains the while, datadriven, goto, loop and other extensions mentioned in previous answers. You can use other functionalities of the Selblocks as conditional jumps, conditions, catch-try blocks, functions, etc. See full reference here: http://refactoror.wikia.com/wiki/Selblocks_Reference
Beware with new Selenium 3 release and Sel Core absence it is not guaranteed, that tests with Selblock addon will work in the future versions of the firefox.
You can also check this very nice blog article:
http://seleniumworks.blogspot.com/2014/01/selenium-ide-data-driven.html
This gives an explanation on how to use the needed plugins and where to download them from. It worked perfectly for me.
This answer pretty much has the same approach as the one provided by #Yevgen Ulyanenkov as I used his answer in order to find the above article. But has some more googling to it that hopefully will be helpful to someone.
I think you need to use loop I don't see your code so just check this one for selenium-ide loop If you have any more problem if so comment my answer. I can't comment into your question because reputation is not enough so. If possible please add your code into your question.

Efficient Way to do batch import XMI in Enterprise Architect

Our team are using Enterprise Architect version 10 and SVN for the repository.
Because the EAP file size is quite big (e.g. 80 MB), we exports each packages into separate XMI and stored it into SVN. The EAP file itself is committed after some milestone. The problem is to synchronize the EAP file with work from co worker during development, we need to import lots of XMI (e.g. total can be 500 files).
I know that once the EAP file is updated, we can use Package Control -> Get All Latest. Therefore this problem occurs only during parallel development.
We have used keyboard shorcuts to do the import as follow:
Ctrl+Alt+I (Import package from XMI file)
Select the file name to import
Alt+I (Import)
Enter (Yes)
Repeat step number 2 to 4 until module finished
But still, importing hundreds of file is inefficient.
I've checked that the Control Package has Batch Import/Export. The batch import/export are working when I explicitly hard-coded the XMI Filename, but the options are not available if using version control (batch import/export options are greyed).
Is there any better ways to synchronize EAP and XMI files?
There is a scripting interface in EA. You might be able to automate the import using that. I've not used it but its probably quite good.
I'm not sure I fully understand your working environment, but I have some general points that may be of interest. It might be that if you use EA in a different way (especially my first point below), the need to batch import might go away.
Multiworker
First, multiple people can work on the same EAP file at a time. The EAP file is nothing more than an Access database file, and EA uses locking to stop multiple people editing the same package at the same time. But you can comfortably have multiple people editing different packages in one EAP file at the same time. Putting the EAP file on a file share somewhere is a good way of doing it.
Inbuilt Revision Control
Secondly, EA can interact directly with SVN (and other revision control systems). See this. In short, you can setup your EAP file so that individual packages (and everything below them) is SVN controlled. You can then check out an individual package, edit it, check it back in. Or indeed you can check out the whole branch below a package (including sub packages that are themselves SVN controlled).
Underneath the hood EA is importing and exporting XMI files and checking them in and out of SVN, whilst the EAP file is always the head revision. Just like what you're doing by hand, but automated. It makes sense given that you can all use the one single EAP file. You do have to be a bit careful rolling back - links originating from objects in older versions of one package might be pointing at objects that no longer exist (but you can look at the import log errors to see if this is the case). It takes a bit of getting used to, but it works pretty well.
There's also the built in package baselining functionality - that might be all you need anyway, and works quite well especially if you're all using the same EAP file.
Bigger Database Engine
Thirdly, you don't have to have an EAP file at all. The model's database can be in any suitable database system (MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, etc). So that gives you all sorts of options for scaling up how its used, what its like over a WAN/Internet, etc.
In short Sparx have been quite sensible about how EA can be used in a multi-worker environment, and its worth exploiting that.
I have created the EA script using JScript for the automation
Here is the script to do the export:
!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript
/*
* Script Name : Export List of SVN Packages
* Author : SDK
* Purpose : Export a package and all of its subpackages information related to version
* controlled. The exported file then can be used to automatically import
* the XMIs
* Date : 30 July 2013
* HOW TO USE : 1. Select the package that you would like to export in the Project Browser
* 2. Change the output filepath in this script if necessary.
* By default it is "D:\\EAOutput.txt"
* 3. Send the output file to your colleague who wanted to import the XMIs
*/
var f;
function main()
{
// UPDATE THE FOLLOWING OUTPUT FILE PATH IF NECESSARY
var filename = "D:\\EAOutput.txt";
var ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8;
Repository.EnsureOutputVisible( "Script" );
Repository.ClearOutput( "Script" );
Session.Output("Start generating output...please wait...");
var treeSelectedType = Repository.GetTreeSelectedItemType();
switch ( treeSelectedType )
{
case otPackage:
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
f = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, ForWriting, true);
var selectedObject as EA.Package;
selectedObject = Repository.GetContextObject();
reportPackage(selectedObject);
loopChildPackages(selectedObject);
f.Close();
Session.Output( "Done! Check your output at " + filename);
break;
}
default:
{
Session.Prompt( "This script does not support items of this type.", promptOK );
}
}
}
function loopChildPackages(thePackage)
{
for (var j = 0 ; j < thePackage.Packages.Count; j++)
{
var child as EA.Package;
child = thePackage.Packages.GetAt(j);
reportPackage(child);
loopChildPackages(child);
}
}
function getParentPath(childPackage)
{
if (childPackage.ParentID != 0)
{
var parentPackage as EA.Package;
parentPackage = Repository.GetPackageByID(childPackage.ParentID);
return getParentPath(parentPackage) + "/" + parentPackage.Name;
}
return "";
}
function reportPackage(thePackage)
{
f.WriteLine("GUID=" + thePackage.PackageGUID + ";"
+ "NAME=" + thePackage.Name + ";"
+ "VCCFG=" + getVCCFG(thePackage) + ";"
+ "XML=" + thePackage.XMLPath + ";"
+ "PARENT=" + getParentPath(thePackage).substring(1) + ";"
);
}
function getVCCFG(thePackage)

var value = array[z].substring(pos + 1);
if (key=="VCCFG")
{
return (value);
}
}
}
}
return "";
}
main();
And the script to do the import:
!INC Local Scripts.EAConstants-JScript
/*

* 2. Get the XMIs in the SVN local copy
* 3. Change the path to the output file in this script if necessary (var filename).
* By default it is "D:\\EAOutput.txt"
* 4. Change the path to local SVN
* 5. Run the script

Webmatrix file upload error

I am trying to create an upload page where I upload a .swf file and then I add the filename to my database. Previously I have been able to achieve this, however, now it seems to give me the error "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index" My code is as follows:
#{
Page.Title = "Add Game";
//Variables
var GameName = "";
var Tags = "";
var Gamefile = "";
//Required fields
Validation.RequireField("Name", "Please give the game a name.");
Validation.RequireField("file", "Please upload a file.");
//Maximum name length
Validation.Add("Name",
Validator.StringLength(
maxLength: 100,
errorMessage: "Name must be less than 100 characters")
);
//SWF file validation
Validation.Add("file",
Validator.Regex(#"^.*\.(swf|SWF)$", "Invalid filetype, you must upload a .swf flash file")
);
if (IsPost && Validation.IsValid()) {
var db = Database.Open("Surgestuff");
var gCat = "";
var fileData = Request.Files[0];
var fileName = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + ".swf";
var fileSavePath = Server.MapPath("~/upload/" + fileName);
var AddBy = WebSecurity.CurrentUserName;
gCat=Request["formCat"];
Gamefile = fileName;
fileData.SaveAs(fileSavePath);
var SQLINSERT = "INSERT INTO Games (Name, file_path, Category, AddBy) " + "VALUES (#0, #1, #2, #3)";
db.Execute(SQLINSERT, GameName, Gamefile, gCat, AddBy);
Response.Redirect("~/Games");
}
}
And for some reason, even when i have a file submitted, the
var fileData = Request.Files[0]; gives me that error
The Web Pages 2 Validation helpers do not work with an input type="file". They only work with elements that are included in the Request.Form collection. A file upload appears in the Request.Files collection.
There are a couple of approaches you can take to validate the file upload. You can use ModelState:
if(IsPost && Request.Files[0].ContentLength == 0){
ModelState.AddError("file", "You must choose a file");
}
if (IsPost && Validation.IsValid() && ModelState.IsValid) {
// etc
Or you can add a hidden field, and when the form is submitted, populate its value with that of the file upload via JavaScript. Then you can use the new Validation helpers as you are currently trying to do, but on the hidden field instead.
