How to include pagination in section-iterate? - moqui

Thanks a lot for spending your precious time in answering my questions and I am back again with another question.
I am using in xml using xsd 1.4. It gives me the option of paginate and paginate-size but it does not working as it does in case form-list. So could please let me know the reason for this behavior and also how to get pagination in section-iterate using xsd 1.5.
Thanks in advance :-)

If you look at the XSD there is also a comment that it is not yet implemented. To make this more clear I've commented out those attributes altogether (this change is now in the moqui/moqui GitHub repo).
What is it that you want to use these for? I put the attribute definitions in there a long time ago as a possibly useful feature, but never implemented it because I haven't found a good use for it yet... and not sure there is one.

As of the moment you can paginate with
<section-iterate ... paginate="true">...</section-iterate>
controlling pagination size is not yet implemented

Best practice Sitecore Placeholder in rendering, share content

Im sure this has been asked before, but as far as I can see no one seems to mention the best practice for this case.
I have a body-placeholder that basically wraps everything of my page.. with in this placeholder the user is allowed to add "Section Renderings" each section rendering contains two additional Placeholders...
When adding two or more Section rendering however.. they seem to share the content that gets added in their two placeholders... and I guess this is since the placeholders are all sharing the same name..
Whats the best practice for this?.. I have read about people creating extensions of Html.Sitecore() and adding a what they refer to as a "Dynamic Placeholder"..
But well my question remains :).. whats the best practice for solving this issue?
#jammykam is correct. Sitecore does not support dynamic placeholders out of the box and you will need to implement an extension built by a third-party, or build your own version that meets your needs.
Personally, having had to dig into this a little in the past, I do not recommend starting from scratch and trying to figure it out. The available resources from other folks who have done the hard work will get you much further.

Advanced Ajax with RoR and jQuery UI

I don't have much web development practical experience although I had studied a lot on the web (Treehouse, CodeSchool, other tutorials and articles).
I have found some explanations on how to use Ajax with RoR and jQuery. But I'm having difficulties to understand how to solve my problem as the explanations often use jquery-ujs that I suppose I can't use in my case.
My problem is difficult to explain here but is similar to implementing this shopping cart on RoR, including more parameters like price
The jQuery UI is working for me in my RoR application. What is missing is the AJAX part and how to make it work with RoR
I have found some questions here on StackOverflow that is about this topic but it didn't helped much as they are probably for more advanced users.
So, I believe that the best help would be a tutorial or book or some other reference that is more similar to my problem. However any advice or other kind of directions may help
After struggling a lot, finally I solved my problem.
I will post here the resources and some tricks that helped me. I hope it can help others. StackOverflow didn't let me post all the links. For this reason, I just gave some hints that may help to find some resources.
About the jQuery Ajax concepts, I recommend Code School jquery course "The Return Flight".
The second thing that I think helps is learn to debug. Firebug helped me a log to debug the client side/javascript/Ajax. This link may help on that:
http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2642/debugging-tips-how-to-debug-ajax-requests-using-mozilla-firefox-and-firebug
Since the problem may be to debug RoR. Look for a RailCast on the subject.
One of the things that I took some time is if it would be better to use $.ajax(), $.post(), $.get() or $.getJSON(). The link below may explain better but to sum it up, $.ajax() is the more generic one and the other are simpler ones and that call $.ajax() with specific parameters.
Difference between $.post and $.ajax?
It is important to understand how RoR routing works to call the right url with the right $.ajax() type. "rake routes" may help.
This link may also help to use the right $.ajax() type.

Finally, to send the right format from the javascript to RoR controller, this link may help:

Does anyone have a SlickGrid wrapper for Haxe?

I am using the Haxe multi-platform programming tool (http://haxe.org) which, among other things, can generate JavaScript output. I would like to know if anyone has already done a "wrapper" library to interface Haxe with SlickGrid.
Doesn't look like one exists yet... sorry!
Unless someone has made one but just not shared it. Could be worth asking on the haxe mailing list / google group? You'll get a wider audience than on stack overflow.
If it looks like no one has done it, you can write your own... it's probably quite do-able. And not too hard either. I'd be happy to help you figure it out as you go... cause I might want to use it one day too :)
If you do decide to take that route I think the best option is to post on the mailing list, and we can help you out from there. There's also a document on the wiki with some instructions:
http://haxe.org/doc/js/extern_libraries
This stuff is always a bit daunting when you first get started, but don't be afraid to ask for help and hopefully you'll be up and running in no time.

Span Queries in SOLR

How does one issue span queries in SOLR (Span, SpanNear, etc)? I've
done a bit of research and I can't tell of a straightforward way to do it.
It would seem that I need to implement a QueryParserPlugin to accomplish
what I want to do. Is this the correct path? Surely this has been done before. Does
anybody have links to examples? I had trouble finding anything.
Span queries aren't currently supported (JIRA issue here).
Judging by this mail thread, it seems that you're on the correct path by implementing a QueryParserPlugin.
If you do implement this, consider submitting a patch!

jqgrid with turbogears 2

I have been recently trying out crudRESTController in TG2.1.
Overall, I found that--
1] The community is helpful.
2] But, it is hard to find a help topic or docs, if I get stuck-up with a particular issue.
e.g. The name of instance of crudRESTController must be a plural of underlying model name.
Otherwise, it won't work correctly. It is nowhere given in their docs.
Hence I am thinking to use jqgrid for crud functionality.
Can anybody please point out whether it would be better to use jqgrid or stick to crudRESTController!
(keeping in mind the control I can have over the code, rapid application development, deployment, speed, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Vineet.
Give a look at EasyCrudRestController from tgext.crud, it provides an easy way to create working Crud Controllers on the fly. For more deep customization you can tune it as you would with CrudRestController.
